It’s better that Michael Brown was clearly imperfect, clearly flawed.Â
Jason Parker’s “Homegrown”
Monday, November 24, 2014 12:33 — 0 Comments
We at The Monarch love this concept: bringing a group of Seattle musicians together to celebrate jazz, music, and the Seattle scene. Jason Parker is one of the best at this – he is a galvanizer of talent, which is one of the best artistic qualities someone can have, in my humble opinion. Jason writes, “The Seattle jazz scene is bursting with talent and is a true hidden gem of the jazz world. Seattlites know how special it is, but word is only now starting to get out to the rest of the world. I decided to shine a spotlight […]
Talking Interstellar
Monday, November 24, 2014 12:12 — 3 Comments
I thought Interstellar was one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen—in fact about an hour in, I’d taken my wrist watch off, started smelling it, and playing with it as if it was a bird. To me—and I read, write and edit work every day—it felt like the Nolans threw millions of dollars at a half-baked short story they wrote over the weekend. But Michael Park, lecturer at Stanford University and holder of a Ph.D in theoretical particle physics from Rutgers University, saw the movie’s merits—and then some. Park, whose research has focused mostly on developing strategies for searching […]

One Super Important Question For Corinne Manning
Monday, November 17, 2014 12:28 — 0 Comments
The James Franco Review is the newest literary publication out of Seattle – the mission of it is simple: treat every submission as if it was from James Franco, i.e. a celebrity lauded for creative work by many. “This isn’t about satire,” says the review’s Facebook page. “This is about visibility. JFR considers your work of prose & poetry assuming it’s already worthy of an editor’s attention.” What a fun, great idea! As a result, we wanted to reach out to the review’s founder, Corinne Manning, and ask her one super important question!
Sports Talk

Shaun Scott and I love to talk art, movies and sports. Things get particularly spirited when we talk sports because children’s games played by adults in physical prime are something we’ve loved ever since we were kids on the east coast. So, here is one in our continued series, Sports Talk. This time, focused around an old picture of Michael Jordan that Shaun dug up.
