Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert
(MUSIC) Along with being a prolific songwriter in her personal proper, Cat Power (aka Chan Marshall) has the power to rework an present track, respiration new life into old classics (as evidenced by her wildly common cowl of Phil Phillips’ “Sea of Love”). On her latest launch, Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert, Marshall recreates Bob Dylan’s famously bootlegged Manchester Free Trade Hall efficiency (continuously mislabeled because the “Royal Albert Hall Concert”), full with the precise setlist and notorious crowd heckles. Don’t miss the chance to see this trustworthy tribute with songs like “She Belongs To Me,” “Mr. Tamborine Man,” and “Like a Rolling Stone”—lord is aware of you will not be listening to these at an precise Dylan live performance (he is too cool, he’ll by no means give the folks what they need.)

A Conversation with Eric Kim: In‑Person & Online
(FOOD) Allow me to fangirl over New York Times staff writer Eric Kim for a minute. His tuna mayo rice bowl recipe has quickly become my go-to WFH lunch and hyperfixation food du jour (add a little cucumber and avocado, scoop it all up with seaweed sheets, and thank me later). I adore his poignant, lovely food writing (see: this ode to wonton chicken salad and this romantic paean to midnight pasta). And I love how craveable and nostalgic his recipes are—I mean, how could you not want to make cheesy peanut butter noodles, gochujang caramel cookies, black sesame Rice Krispies treats, or matcha latte cookies topped with a cloud of old-school boiled milk frosting? His debut cookbook Korean American features recipes like gochugaru shrimp and grits, caramelized kimchi baked potatoes, and gochujang-buttered radish toast, as well as personal essays on his upbringing as the son of two Korean immigrants in Atlanta. He’ll chat with local author J. Kenji López-Alt about the book at this event.

Ma’Chell M. Duma: 33 1/3rd – Invasion Of Privacy
(BOOKS/MUSIC) Peruse the list of 33 1/3 book titles and you’ll find that most of the albums in the long-running series of “short books about popular music” have had several years (sometimes several decades) to establish a place in music history before being featured. Miles Davis’s Bitches Brew, Joni Mitchell’s Court and Spark, The Pogues’s Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash, Fugazi’s In on the Kill Taker… there are nearly 180 books total, so I won’t name them all, and there is some excellent work among them. But this month, 33 1/3 released their youngest addition yet, Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy, written by local music journalist (and occasional Stranger contributor) Ma’Chell Duma. The book is not only full of observations about Cardi B and her history-making record, but it also explores some of the discourse that has followed Cardi’s success, including the wage gap in pop music (Chapter 9: Money Bag) and the history and mainstreaming of pussy rap (Chapter 3: Bickenhead). (I did an unofficial count and the word “pussy” appears in the book at least 70 times. Cardi would be proud.) On Friday, Duma will discuss the book with DJ Miss Ashley of KEXP at Easy Street Records, with a live DJ set and book signing session to follow. (Easy Street Records, 4559 California Ave SW, 7 pm, free) MEGAN SELING

Massive: The Power of Pop Culture
Collection. COURTESY OF MOPOP
(VISUAL ART) The Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) has unveiled a new long-term exhibit that asks visitors to consider their role as creators and consumers of modern pop culture. Across 2,400 square feet, the showcase will feature 80-plus artifacts, films, and interactive experiences that range from Judy Garland’s iconic gingham dress from The Wizard of Oz to Kim Kardashian’s gaudy neon sneaker pumps. (Side observe: Can you think about what these items would appear like if styled collectively? Iconic.) The exhibit will dig deeper than a conventional artifact show with thought-provoking questions on appropriation, superstar tradition, and illustration. (MoPOP, 325 Fifth Ave, each Thurs–Tues beginning March 16, included basically admission) AUDREY VANN

Raúl de Nieves: a window to the see, a spirit star chiming within the wind of marvel…
(VISUAL ART) I attempt to keep away from saying a present has “one thing for everybody” except it is actually, actually the case, however New York-based artist Raúl de Nieves’s a window to the see, a spirit star chiming within the wind of marvel… would possibly match the invoice. De Nieves will transport aesthetic traditions of Mexican craft, Catholicism, Tarot, the European artwork canon, drag efficiency, and punk music to the Henry—significantly, I’m betting you are into at the least a type of issues, proper? The solo exhibition of work, sculptures, and performances by the Mexican-born artist will embrace one in all his signature “stained glass” installations (made with coloured acetate and tape), which is able to think about a celestial panorama and rework the museum’s largest gallery area right into a “container of coloured gentle.” The objective? A reflective, meditative journey—anticipate temple-like seating, a kaleidoscopic ambiance of ever-changing gentle, and ritualistic performances punctuating the run of the exhibition.

Nine-Tenths of The Law: Squatters’ Cinema
(FILM) Squatters should not a gaggle of parents that I’d beforehand related to cinema, however I’m not afraid to confess that I used to be mistaken. “In 2019, a radical group calling itself the Cinéma La Clef Revival Collective pressured their approach into the derelict building which housed La Clef (The Key), a ’70s-era cinema,” The Beacon explains. The French collective revitalized the area, which had shuttered in 2015 as a result of the homeowners needed to promote the property for redevelopment. Booo! La Clef Revival has fostered a community-programmed area for “squatter’s cinema” ever since, shouting a gargantuan “fuck you” at exclusionary rental practices and vampiric landlords and builders. Show as much as this screening collection all through March for a number of squat-centric flicks like Occupied Cinema, Winstanley, and plenty of others. One of my private faves, Robinson’s Garden, will display March 18-20—it is a clear-cut punk assertion providing up a uncommon glimpse of a multicultural Tokyo sans metropolis pop and monetary prosperity. Not to gush an excessive amount of, however the movie attracts from underground No Wave aesthetics (suppose Jim Jarmusch) to inform an anticapitalist story of a bohemian drug supplier who discovers an deserted building lush with vegetation. Promise you may dig it. (The Beacon, 4405 Rainier Ave S, a number of dates by March 30, $12.50) LINDSAY COSTELLO

twenty seventh Annual Daffodil Day
(SPRING) Seattle, we did it! We made it by winter! We cannot guarantee that you will see the solar on the primary day of spring, however you’ll be able to choose up an excellent (free!) daffodil to have fun. This spring custom sources daffodils grown inside 100 miles of town by multi-generational family-run farms which have been market fixtures for many years. Even as somebody who “does not like flowers,” there’s one thing about seeing dozens of strangers walking round with vibrant yellow blooms that places a smile on my face.
