thursday agenda: deerhoof, artwalk, pollack

  • After launching his literary career with a series of poses (”greatest living writer”, “gonzo rock journalist”) and a weird fall from the McSweeney’s runaway locomotive [nyt,mcsw], Neal Pollack seems to have decommissioned the personas to write Alternadad [$], a sincere take his own adventures in hipster parenting. Tonight, he faces off against local alternadad, Dan Savage, in a bout moderated by Sean Nelson with musical accompaniment by “Awesome”. [chopsuey]
  • Why, hello there February. Aren’t you clever sneaking your first Thursday in the middle of a week dominated by January? Well played, sir. Nevertheless, it’s Pioneer Square Art Walk time, with plenty of openings to get you in the spirit of our shortest month. [seattleartblog]
  • When we were compiling today’s agenda, the most compelling argument for Deerhoof and their cutie lyrics over mathrock came from Samantha who speculates that they’re “what would happen if the dolls from the It’s a Small World [disney] ride went rogue and started a band”. Confused? They’re live on KEXP at 2:30. [neumos]
