Boyz II Men Moore Theatre	Fri., August 29, 8:00pm	Downtown	Music
Once upon a time in the ’90s, they seduced women (and men) with their silky-smooth harmonies and matching suits. Yes, I’m talking about Boyz II Men. The four-time Grammy Award–winning band reigned over the R&B charts with #1 hits like “End of the Road,” “I’ll... More >>

Last year, the Asian Hip Hop Summit, which began as a local event in Los Angeles’ Koreatown neighborhood several years ago, went on the road for the first ever Asian Hip Hop Summit Tour. On that jaunt, the touring artists just hit up a few major cities, Seattle among them. But this year,... More >>

The Whore Moans, Wallpaper Sunset Tavern	Fri., August 29, 10:00pm	Ballard	Music
If you're in the mood for high-energy riffs and '80s hair metal without the teased tresses and Spandex, look no further than Seattle's favorite thrash punk band the Whore Moans. They put out their first full-length record last year on their own label, Wizard House Records, called Watch Out For... More >>

Raiders of the Lost Ark Egyptian	Fri., August 29, 11:59pm more dates/times	Capitol Hill	Local Film/Arthouse
I finally got around to seeing Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. And, like that dreadful new CGI Star Wars cartoon, boy does the brand extension make you appreciate the original product. Screening tonight and Saturday, the 1981 Raiders of the Lost Ark is a movie freed from the... More >>

Jenny Heishman: Water Mover Ernst Park	Daily	Fremont	Family Events Art Exhibitions
Unbuilt lots, even sloped blackberry patches sitting on unstable soil, are fast disappearing in Seattle. Particularly in Fremont, where townhouses sprout like mushrooms, any real-estate resistance is appreciated. Sitting next to the Fremont Branch Library, A.B. Ernst Park was completed four... More >>

Dan Clowes Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery	Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., August 29 until Tue., October 7, 6:00pm	Georgetown	Art Exhibitions
Maybe, for a certain kind of reader, it took the presence of Scarlett Johansson in the movie version of Ghost World to bring the quiet, meditative art of Dan Clowes to a wider audience. Since then, he and director Terry Zwigoff collaborated on Art School Confidential, and now comes Ghost World:... More >>

Mark Takamichi Miller Howard House	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday from Thu., August 28 until Sun., September 28, 10:30am	Downtown	Art Exhibitions
Most people go to Costco for groceries and a year’s supply of toilet paper. Mark Takamichi Miller goes for inspiration. Back in the day, he discovered it was possible to buy other people’s snapshots from the photo booth at Costco. So he bought some and painted their subjects. And... More >>

Isaac Layman: Photographs From Inside A Whale Lawrimore Project	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Thu., July 17 until Sat., August 30	SoDo	Lectures Art Exhibitions
A peek into a medicine cabinet, a look into a dirty sink, an aerial view of a crusty four-burner electric stove—Isaac Layman's large-scale digital images capture messy domestic scenes in gorgeously exacting detail. (SINK, 2008, is shown above). Yet each photograph is a complete... More >>

Geoff McFetridge: The Mind Olympic Sculpture Park	Daily from Tue., April 29 until Tue., March 31	Belltown	Art Exhibitions
Better known for his design work for Nike, Burton Snowboards, and Marc Jacobs, the L.A.–based artist Geoff McFetridge has taken over the PACCAR Pavilion with a graphically strong installation. The Mind encompasses the entire sloped-ceiling space, with a crowd of line-drawn faces papering... More >>

Still Life Redux: Vik Muniz at SAM Seattle Art Museum	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Wed., August 6 until Sat., September 6	Downtown	Art Exhibitions
A large-scale photograph by Brazilian-born NYC artist Vik Muniz (b. 1961) replicates the painting Still Life With Fruits and Vegetables by Spanish painter Juan Sanchez Catan (dated 1602). A small image of the original oil hangs next to the giant photograph, in what is a sort of modern annex to... More >>

Talisman to Disaster: Tim Cross at SOIL SOIL	Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Fri., August 1 until Sat., August 30	Pioneer Square	Art Exhibitions
You won't find this striking ink-and-watercolor work hanging at SOIL, sad to say. You will, however, see similar pieces by artist Tim Cross, also depicting pretty, imagined disasters. I was lucky enough to catch Cross on his way out the door with this piece, and was stopped by the gorgeous... More >>

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance Grand Illusion	Daily from Fri., August 29 until Thu., September 4, 8:45pm more dates/times	University District	Local Film/Arthouse
Running Friday to Thursday this week, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) is a late-career classic from director John Ford. The age-worn faces of his stars, James Stewart and John Wayne, are appropriate for a tale looking back several decades before the closing of the Western frontier.... More >>

“You Say Goodbye, I Say Hello” Tigertail	Daily from Wed., August 13 until Sat., September 20	Ballard	Art Exhibitions
Seattle has a muscular, well-known crop of male rock photographers, but when our Hannah Levin needs a last-minute photo for her “Rocket Queen” column, she often turns to three local ladies: Jenny Jimenez, Laura Musselman, and Sarah Joann Murphy. Levin has now curated a show, “You... More >>

Stronghold University of Washington Campus	Daily	University District	Art Exhibitions
The original UW campus downtown was once covered with old-growth timber, as was its present location when the school moved north in 1895. Now, as that institution continues its inexorable sprawl south of Pacific Street toward Portage Bay, New York artist Brian Tolle reminds us of that arboreal... More >>
