It's day two of Bumbershoot, folks. Everything you need to have the best Sunday of your life is on our Bumbershoot calendar, including showtimes and more recommended shows than you can possibly see in one day.
To get you started, here's a handful of top picks for today.
MUSIC
The Melvins
"For over 30 years, Melvins have been perhaps America’s preeminent metal/proto-grunge/comedy band." -Dave Segal
Neko Case
"For country-inflected rock in the 21st century, it doesn’t get much better than Neko Case." -Dave Segal
Lee "Scratch" Perry and Subatomic Sound System
"Bet your bong that SSS will reverently bolster their legendary frontman with a buoyantly gravid foundation." -Dave Segal
WORDS & IDEAS
A Tiny Sense of Accomplishment: Sherman Alexie and Jess Walter
"A much looser, bantery version of two of the NW’s most august authors as they do their very good podcast for an audience." -Sean Nelson
"Scary Feminists"
"Chelsea Cain is not 'scary,' unless by scary you mean scary talented." -Sean Nelson
ART
Between Garage & Grunge: Glitter, Glam, and Proto-Punk in Seattle's Subversive '70s
"The brilliant Larry Reid curates this exhibition of flyers, posters, album art, and related musical ephemera from this little-discussed period of NW rock and art culture." -Sean Nelson
