37. Ancient Warlocks, TeePee Creeper, The Sun Giants, Sower
As long as there are stoners (they donât seem to be diminishing in number much around here), thereâll be a need for stoner rock. When itâs done well, stoner rock is very satisfying, like being swaddled in blankets made out of woolly mammoth pelts while the earth rumbles moderately in the distance. Itâs down-tuned ecstasy in (almost) slow motion. Seattleâs Ancient Warlocks do this low-slung, methodical grind with requisite swagger, and vocalist Aaron Krauseâs ravenous yowl makes him a dead ringer for Monster Magnetâs Dave Wyndorfâa great thing in any sensible personâs book. DAVE SEGAL
(Ballard, $8)
38. Arthaus 3.0: Broken Hearts Club!

Hark, a rare live appearance by Spacement (aka Jeff Brown) is upon us.

Spacementâs latest release, 2016âs Progress Between Wars, steers away from the malevolent turbulence of Detonation Waves and embraces a stately ambience that recalls somber, placid Brian Eno LPs like On Land and Apollo: Atmospheres & Soundtracks and the interstellar zone-outs of Pete Namlook.

78. Morning Star Shop Local x Pop-Up Brunch (February Edition)
This iteration of local chef Tarik Abdullah's brunch pop-up at Royal Room will feature such delights as jumbo prawns 'n' grits with squash, fennel, and tabil roasted tomato sauce, and house-made biscuits with zaatar lamb and roasted pepper gravy. Though she praises his food as "bold and wide-ranging," Stranger food writer emeritus Angela Garbes says it's primarily about the pop-up's positive vibes. "Food aside, the vibe at Morning Star is what makes it truly great," she wrote last June. "The music is always what you want to be listening to, and the crowdâlots of black, brown, and white folksâis diverse and joyful." In that same spirit of joy and diversity, Abdullah is soliciting donations this time around to help rebuild the Bellevue mosque that was the victim of arson in January. I dunno about you, but dropping a tenner in the jar, ordering up some braised chicken in saffron butter sauce, and thinking about how bummed Trump would be that a racially diverse crowd of brunch-loving Seattle liberals are raising money to rebuild a mosque sounds like a perfect meal to me.

(Columbia City)
79. Motley Zoo Presents: Puppy Bowl
