17. A Tribe Called Quest/Zulu Nation Tribute with DJs Vitamin D and Sean Malik
    In my opinion, Seattle’s greatest hip-hop producer and DJ is, by far, Vitamin D. Indeed, he is in the top 20 all-time hip-hop producers ever. Without him, there would be no Macklemore; without him, there would be no ground to the Seattle sound. One day, the whole world will discover Vita and realize the full and rich treasure of beats he has produced over the past 30 years. And he has not stopped. He is still spinning, still programming, still producing beats in the town that owes him everything, the 206. This tribute show should be fire. CHARLES MUDEDE

And I think this song is part of me coming to terms with that, airing out that conversation with myself."

    (Capitol Hill, free)

21. Christopher Leonard: The Rise of Koch Industries and Corporate Power in America
    In 2016, New Yorker writer Jane Mayer published Dark Money, which revealed the way that Charles and David Koch used their billions to create a network of arch conservative institutions that continue to wreak havoc on US democracy today. Rather than focus on the many-tentacled political monster they created, investigative journalist Christopher Leonard focuses on the creation of Koch Industries, the insanely large and insanely influential fossil-fuel company that has stymied progress on environmental regulations, sped up the degradation of union workforces, and generally perpetuated blight and pain upon the living world. Early reviews suggest that Leonard's corporate history "keeps you turning pages" despite its heft (the book is 687 pages). Sounds like a good old-fashioned seethe read. RICH SMITH

    See art based on the blobby, primordial life forms that began emerging about 600 million years ago. The artist, Big Schnapps, writes: "Some of the more hard-bodied organisms made it into our fossil records, but the majority of the soft-bodied entities disappeared without a trace.

61. Spesh, the National Honor Society, New Age Healers
    Recently, on my weekly pilgrimage from Capitol Hill to Scarecrow Video, my walking partner and I stopped on the University Bridge to look at the boats. It was warm out and the white sun sparkled on the dark water. That’s what Spesh sounds like to me: all fuzz, warmth, and shimmer. Though their style leans Anglophilic, immediately recalling bands like the Stone Roses and Happy Mondays, their shoegaze moments reflect the Pacific Northwest, too. “Teflon”—which vibrates with guitar and emotion—was “inspired by the drab rainy weather” of January in Seattle, when the song was written. See? All that shimmer just for you. JASMYNE KEIMIG

The Spider Ferns claim to "make music late at night in a converted barn at the base of a small mountain" but the sounds they deftly craft scan as urban and are constructed with spare elegance.  DAVE SEGAL

68. Suzan-Lori Parks Town Hall Takeover
    Most award-winning authors who take the stage at Town Hall come for the evening, do their thing, try to make a Q&A sound interesting, and then leave. But MacArthur "Genius" and Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks plans to hang out all day. In the afternoon, she invites audiences to watch her work on a piece while they also work on their own pieces. After an hour or so, she'll open up the room for questions about the artistic process. Just before dinner, she'll perform “A Million Suggestions from Suzan-Lori Parks,” which is, as advertised, a lecture full of advice on how to be a writer based on her personal experiences. She'll follow that up with a new short play commissioned by Town Hall. Finally, Parks caps off the evening with a live performance from her band, which sounds like an upbeat folk outfit. Bonus: All of this premium content is free. I could not imagine a more perfect event for Seattle's robust contingent of art hippies. RICH SMITH
