Every Thursday night at Puget Sound Pizza, the Volcano's music critic Rev. Adam McKinney hosts a karaoke session showcasing a Tarantino-like mix of downtown denizens seriously singing Bill Withers and glasses-wearing gals squawking out punk rawk, plus appearances by local rock stars. McKinney, always looking dapper in his sportcoat, has a mellifluous singing voice, perfect for "Disco 2000" by Pulp, "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park" by Tom Lehrer, "Little Green Bag" by the George Baker Selection, "Pulling Mussels (From the Shell)" by Squeeze and his standard closing song, "Bottle of Wine" by the Fireballs. Once, near the shank of the evening, New Tribune writer Jim, a regular, delivered perhaps the finest version of "Who's That Lady" ever poured into a microphone. Brought down the house. You should have been there.
KARAOKE, 9 p.m. to close, Puget Sound Pizza, 317 S. Seventh, Tacoma, no cover, 253.383.4777
