Putting aside his work in Bauhaus -- which I assure you I am not -- there are three excellent reasons to see elfin art-goth Peter Murphy's "Retrospective" show
at El Corazon on Friday, May 30. They are: "Love Hysteria," 1987;
"Deep," 1990; and "Cascade," 1995. It's on those three records where
you'll find most of the songs Murphy is known for -- "I'll Fall With
Your Knife," "All Night Long," "Deep Ocean, Vast Sea," "The Scarlet
Thing in You," "Cuts You Up" and others.

In summer, all the good stuff moves outdoors and Seattle really comes to life. The Seattle Times' annual Summer Guide includes close-to-home road-trip destinations, a calendar of events that spans May to September and all the major holidays in between; the local attractions you just can't miss; plus photo galleries from some of the city's most beloved festivals.

Little Kids, Big City
We've gone to Northwest Folklife for the past two years with minimal tears, using strategy the military could only aspire to. But this is Folklife...so it's a tie-dyed, guitar-strumming, super-chill strategy that might not work so well on a real battlefield.

I always get nervous before a big sale -- like I should've trained harder, stretched more, recruited more friends to help fend off crazed shoppers. But the Crave Spring Market Party, from noon to 4 p.m. June 1 at Seattle Center's Fisher Pavilion, is nothing to stress about, particularly since there will be plenty of opportunities for pampering.
