Dawn of MIDI: “Mesmerizing, minimalist music somewhere between techno and krautrock” at Neumos tonight.
Wine for a Dollar a Glass: And there’s great poetry to go with it, including that of Stranger Genius short lister Shin Yu Pai.
Stranger Genius Maged Zaher: He reads with Lena Khalaf Tuffaha and Rajaa Gharbi at an event organized by the Arab Poet Society. Tonight at Bellevue College.
Olympia Snowe: No, she’s not a Stranger Genius, but she is a former US Senator, which is nothing to sneeze at either. She’s giving a free talk at Kane Hall tonight on the UW campus.
Woodsy Folk Rock: There’s a lot of it out there. Maybe too much. But if you like it, this is the band to see—they do it right.
Seattle Psych-Rock Fest: Hypnotikon isn’t for another week yet, but if you’re like Dave Segal and can’t wait, check out the pre-party tonight at Lo-Fi.
First Thursday: Today.
And the rest of it all.
