My latest for Pigeons & Planes. The OK Hotel is a vital part of Seattle's music history, from Nirvana to Blue Scholars. But I also found it's a sweet story about a young couple who took a chance on an old building only to become the hub of a movement. www.pigeonsandplanes.com/read/ghosts-...

The Ghosts of the OK Hotel

The OK Hotel most famously hosted Nirvana before they drove down to LA to record ‘Nevermind,’ but the historic Seattle venue has a long, storied history in grunge, rap, and more. The ghosts from its h...

Remy Zero's 'Villa Elaine' has been a guiding light for me for years. The band was always on the brink of success but never quite got there. With the album finally getting pressed to vinyl, I plead my case for Remy Zero and what it means to love an album forever in this week's Another Thought.

With all this talk about opera right now, I thought I’d bring back this piece I did years ago on Evelyn Mandac, the first Filipino to ever sing at the Metropolitan Opera House. It took me years to track her down, I still find myself thinking back on her inspiring story www.kexp.org/read/2021/5/...
