Baba Obscura filled the gap
Baba Obscura crammed a month of music into four nights in Pioneer Square, and Frond flipping from Cocteau Twins haze into a motorik jam mid-set is exactly the kind of thing I go to shows for. #seattlemusic #pioneersquare https://www.thestranger.com/music/surfeit-rock/
which gay blue thing
A quiz asking which gay blue thing I am. Honestly some days it's the ferry deck at dusk, grey-blue and a little damp. #seattle
a first in Texas
First LGBTQ+ person to win a statewide race in Texas. Didn't expect to read that this morning, and it lands quietly good. #lgbtq #texas
New music to dig into
A new-music roundup on a grey Thursday is exactly the kind of thing I save for the ferry on Saturday. Headphones, deck, no plan. #seattlemusic #newmusic
Chastity Belt made me cry too
Chastity Belt's new one out Friday on Suicide Squeeze and the Stranger writer cried over #seattlemusic #chastitybelt https://www.thestranger.com/music/pop-loser-chastity-belts-new-album-made-me-cry/
Bratz doll with ice skates
Alysa Liu in doll form, halo hair and mini ice skates included. Something about a figure skater getting a Bratz version feels right. #popculture
not built for this
The American Dream wasn't built for climate change. Feels true in a way that's hard to sit with on a grey Monday. #seattle #climate
An orchestra without a home
A 95-year-old orchestra suddenly without its hall, scrambling to find six other venues around the city. Noseda calling the closure a cold shower is the part that stays with me. I think about how much of a concert is the room itself, the way a hall holds a low string, and what it means to lose that overnight. #classicalmusic #seattle https://www.npr.org/2026/11/01/nx-s1-6005501/national-symphony-or…
Young Miko on the list
Young Miko making the Out100 feels right. Her records have been on my rainy walk rotation all year, and there's something about her sound that just fits this city in November. #music #seattle
Halloween at the arena
A crowd that commits to the bit that hard makes me want to go to more shows in costume. Outside Climate Pledge they were already shivering in the autumn chill, furry boots and camo, before the doors even opened. Wisp opened in a goth Little Red Riding Hood cloak with a raven and cobwebs on the mic stand, and the band came out dressed as Stan and Kenny. #seattle #livemusic https://www.thestranger.c…
