She's everywhere, either performing her dramatic, multi-persona poems from one of those three books, or starring in her ever-developing solo show, 9 Ounces.

FRIDAY-SATURDAY

ART

28. Out of Sight
Established in 2015 as an unofficial addendum to the Seattle Art Fair, Out of Sight is an annual survey of Northwest art that thrives, as the name implies, in the margins outside the commercial gallery system inscribed by the official fair. As a result, it's a place for artists to take risks and show edgier, more exploratory work. But it's also a great chance to catch emerging artists destined to be scooped up by galleries—(before Seth David Friedman was represented by Season Gallery, his intimate, biomorphic sculptures were featured at Out of Sight). Curated by Greg Lundgren, Ben Heywood, S. Surface, and Justen Siyuan Waterhouse, this year's Out of Sight promises to be a destination in its own right, full of promising young artists, seasoned veterans, and just about everyone in between. EMILY POTHAST

His newest album, Warm Blanket, fleshes out his sound with electronic elements and bigger beats, with May's vocals sounding like a cross between Edwyn Collins and Mayer Hawthorne. Blanket's best song, "Born Too Late," possesses a string-laden homage to John Barry's "Midnight Cowboy" theme, so my previous indifference toward May has receded a bit. DAVE SEGAL

62. Jarrad Powell & Golden Retriever
As director of Seattle ensemble Gamelan Pacifica, Jarrad Powell has been responsible for a lot of spectral, deeply tranquil music in the namesake vein of that group. They prove that the beautifully tintinnabulating gongs of gamelan never wear out their welcome, never fail to dissipate your anxiety (of which we have a surplus this year). Powell’s solo output also is profoundly meditative and teeming with interesting percussive timbres. Portland’s Golden Retriever—modular-synth genius Matt Carlson and bass-clarinetist Jonathan Sielaff—have been elevating Thrill Jockey’s catalog over the last five years, issuing three albums that explore the transcendental nexus where early avant-electronic composition, astral jazz, and ambient music converge.

Capitol Hill brunch-and-brews institution Linda’s Tavern continues to give back to the community with a yearly sample of free local music. And while the average income of the restaurant’s neighbors continues to change, the sonic fare of Linda’s Fest does not—heavy, rhythmic, and loud continue to be adjectives of consequence. Because, really, what is the sound of brunch? It is the aural equivalent of that which quenches the hangover: grease, carbon, caffeine, and further blood-borne ethanol. This year’s amp-worship seminar features Chastity Belt as keynote speaker. Support comes from Bread & Butter, Scott Yoder, DoNormaal, Guayaba, and Ex Licks. JOSEPH SCHAFER
