One Super Important Question For Sean De Tore
Thursday, January 16, 2014 11:00 — 0 Comments
Sean De Tore is one of the coolest cats in the biz. He works on KIRO Radio’s Ron and Don Show, is a regular contributor to the widely popular TBTL Podcast and curates, and produces and hosts The Mixtape Podcast, which features an array of Seattle’s best bands (he even has a Mixtape tattoo!). We at The Monarch wanted to ask Sean One Super Important Question about what inspires him about the Seattle music scene.Â
Rolling Along With Jen Chiu

Jen Chiu, mastermind behind the Roll with Jen food blog, is one of the most fun people to go out to dinner with. She knows all the hot spots, many of the chefs, and is constantly asking questions about recipes, flavors and everything else that makes for fun dinner conversation. As such, we thought we’d ask HER a few questions about what she likes about the Seattle – and northwest – food scene.Â

Seahawks and Jesus

This clip of the devilish Mark Driscoll popped up the other day with him talking to Seahawks players. Besides looking old and sounding foolish, he never lets go of that bible! Given the video, we thought we’d check in with our resident religion expert, Stephanie Drury, to get her thoughts on the conversation.

Our dear friends Sean De Tore and Rachel Belle (both of KIRO Radio fame) went down to Austin, TX over the summer to compete in – and document – the O. Henry Pun Championships. Aided by donations via a Kickstarter campaign, the two brought cameras and their plucky personalities to the event and even landed some home run puns. Check out the teaser trailer for their 2014 documentary Punster here:

Sisters Kristen and Carrie Watt curate and host both the Seattle Living Room Shows and Seattle Secret Shows, both of which have grown from small 15-20 person performances beginning in 2008 to bigger – yet still intimate – 100-200 person shows to date. They’ve booked bands from St. Paul De Vence to Damien Jurado. The Monarch caught up with the Sisters Watt to ask them a few questions about the great things they got going on!
The Evil Eye: A Love Story – Andrew Harris
Wednesday, January 8, 2014 12:06 — 0 Comments
Truth be told, Benjamin Verdoes never set out to write, let alone record, a solo album. Originally written for an audience of one, his girlfriend Ifrah, these particular works were – no, are – so intensely personal that showing them to anyone but a few select friends, was, as Verdoes puts it, “the scariest thing I’ve ever thought of.†The 11 gifts on The Evil Eye are autobiographical in a way that Verdoes’ previous works have not been, proving a new challenge to the veteran songwriter. Â

City Of Lost Dreams

New York Times bestselling author Magnus Flyte (aka Christina Lynch and Meg Howrey), who wrote City of Lost Dreams, will be reading at Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park on Thursday, January 16th at 7pm. So, we thought we should take a moment and ask the author(s) a few questions about their latest novel!
The answer isn't poetry, but rather language
