1. THE BEST WE CAN MANAGE FOR A SEX SCANDAL IS A TEPID TAG SESSION BETWEEN A PRO-SPORTS C-LISTER AND A CITY COUNCIL AIDE  When a married governor who's earned the nickname Mr. Clean and has built his career prosecuting financial malfeasance gets busted with a high-priced hooker, that is some news. When the first openly gay mayor of a major U.S. city allegedly tries to cover up having sex with a teenage boy named Breedlove, there's some excitement. But you're in Seattle now. The best we've gotaE”the best we've had in yearsaE”is bronde city council aide Ann Corbitt, who hooked up with a married soccer player no one in this city (or country) has even heard of, and then spilt every vapid detail of their two-night courtship and affair to a British tabloid. No charges have been filed; no one's left office. The dreary tale of Corbitt's encounter with this C-list cadaE”who went from e-mailing photos of himself in tightie-whities to wanting to snuggle up close and hold hands after sexaE”didn't even make Gawker. When Portland is besting us in sex scandals too, it's really time to wonder if our city has lost its soul.

Lucero, Thursday, October 29:Some styles of music just donaE™t fit with storytelling.A  Others require it.A  For that latter group, made up of backstreet bards and barroom lyricists, narrative is so essential that the music might as well not exist without it.A  Lucero is keenly aware of the importance of character development and story arc in its particular vein of punk-fueled Americana.A  These are songs about frustration and heartache, glory and hope from characters who take shape in the span of three minutes, and they represent some of the best examples of how to tie form, function, and feeling together.A  Interweaving the grit and urgency of punk, the sounds and moods of country, and the lyrical mastery of a gifted storyteller, Lucero offers the kind of anthemic and ambitious music that results in greatness, the kind of music to turn to for the rest of your life.A  While the band clearly pays homage to a number of greats, LuceroaE™s fresh approach makes their music much more than just a simple reworking of its influences (Springsteen, the Replacements, Uncle Tupelo).A  In other words, Lucero isnaE™t feeding off a legacy, but becoming part of one. With Jack Oblivian, John Paul Keith & the One Four Fives. Crocodile, 2200 Second Ave. 441-7416. 8 p.m. $16. Note by NICHOLAS HALL
