Flannel shirts, tortured rock stars and teen spirit - the story of Seattle music is pop culture mythology. But the weirdest chapter of that story, the Teen Dance Ordinance, is often overlooked. While grunge was taking over the world, city leaders imposed a law that criminalized young people going to concerts and dance clubs. Predictably, the youth fought back. From Member station KUOW in Seattle, "Let The Kids Dance! " is a seven-part podcast that reveals the untold battle between punks, parents and politicians for the soul of the city.

After visiting this weeks final Wallingford Farmers Market (in a torrential downpour), I found myself overjoyed at the amazing bounty our Seattle summers produce and I also find myself thinking ahead to the fall garden plantings. While autumn in the garden is typically associated with “clean up”, it is not too late to get a few more crops in the ground to turn your kitchen garden into a near-year round harvest.

WHISTLER, BC.- Russna Kaur is showcasing her site-specific work in the Audain Art Museum’s Upper Galleries entitled Pierced into the air, the temper and secrets crept in with a cry. Kaur approaches painting as a space of infinite possibility, play, and experimentation. This exhibition unfolds in the space as a dynamic series of modular works, where smaller paintings evolve into large-scale compositions, constantly growing, shrinking, and shifting. The artist complicates the surfaces of her work by incorporating a diverse array of materials, including canvas, wood panel, textiles, acrylic paint, spray paint, oil pastels, handmade paper, and 3D printed elements.

Just as the beautiful sunset was manifesting across the west with those amazing clouds. They were foraging successfully all day on some good sized coho salmon.

Understand that what some may perceive as indecision or confusion is actually the surveillance of a landscape more varied and expansive than many perceive. In many ways, Seattle-based 26 year old drummer and composer Xavier Lecouturier typifies the plight of brilliant young jazz musicians on the horizon in the twenty-first century. While the talent pool in jazz music has never been more prodigious, it faces major challenges in terms of work availability and when it is available, earning a living wage in the process. The current generation of jazz brilliance is as well burdened by coming of age in an era when the recording industry is completely under the thumb of corporate interests to the point where making a record is an expense rather than an income provider. While the new wave of musicians such as Lecouturier, Immanuel Wilkins, Micah Thomas, Joel Ross, Nicole Glover and Sarah Hanahan are releasing albums gaining four and five star reviews, major labels are mostly paying the bills after reaping the profits of classic album releases in all formats. When given a choice, many consumers are putting their dollars and listening time into recordings from the 1950's and 1960's rather than current times—and that is unfortunate. The truth is that despite all of the aforementioned obstacles, there is more prolific talent and recorded music now than there has ever been. The sounds of young, modern artists can be found not only in major clubs and on major labels, but more generously in small back room bars on Thursday nights, or on indie labels that are prominent in every region of the jazz world.

All ages are welcome next Sunday afternoon to join in drumming – and a little dancing – to call the coho home to Fauntleroy Creek. It’s an annual tradition in a courtyard just yards from the banks of the creek, and it comes as volunteers launch the Fauntleroy Watershed Council‘s count of spawners arriving in the creek. No RSVP needed, just show up at SW Director and upper Fauntleroy Way (across and upslope from the ferry dock), 4 pm Sunday, October 13.

(first two photos courtesy of Matt Vaughan) Easy Street Records proprietor Matt Vaughan opened the shop a little later than usual this morning after cleaning up from flooding. No, it wasn’t a weather problem – Vaughan says the water was from a burst pipe in an apartment over the shop.
