DeVotchKa plays the Showbox Sodo on May 3. They're quite the hot item these days, being Grammy-nominated and all, and if tickets don't sell out well in advance of show day they'll surely sell out night-of. If you don't get tickets, you should go down there anyway and hope for the best. Maybe even put an ear to the wall and feel the warmth of the high desert coming through it.

"Knocked Up," "Juno," "Baby Mama" ... the uterus, it appears, is the
current Hot Thing in big-screen comedy. And it's used to fine effect in
the new Tina Fey vehicle, about a single career woman so desperate to
have a baby that she'll do whatever it takes — including disrupting her
life with the presence of a surly surrogate in her spotless
Philadelphia apartment.

"I have great memories of this place," said my pal Giselle, as we straddled swiveling barstools in the dim recesses of the Triangle Lounge. "I celebrated here when Clinton won." That was 1992. It didn't seem to her the place had changed all that much.

The performing alias of Swedish producer Axel Willner, The Field makes music for the blood. Willner's hypnotic, looping trance compositions aren't meant for the brain to process; they work best when you allow them to wash over you, unchecked and unconsidered.

I'm beginning to feel like a bird brain. By that, I mean, I have been learning so much about the Seattle bird scene, I'm fairly busting with it. (I should say that the pejorative term "bird brain" needs to be under serious reconsideration as
science learns how sophisticated that tiny processor actually is.)

Last week, my mom brought home bags upon bags of tulip bulbs. She admitted that it isn't the right time to plant them, but they were on sale so she bought a bazillion of them. Spring has a way of inspiring green thumbs, and even inexperienced gardeners find themselves yearning to nurture nature.
