Two bands responsible for a couple of the best recordings to come out of Seattle last year (according to one eminent local wag, at least) play this weekend. Do yourself a favor, and try to catch 'em live.

Modern Luv About to be All Up in Your Inbox, NYC

Mark Siano and Opal Peachey have created something weird and sexy ("swexy" riffs Siano) out of their alternate-universe two-online-worlds-colliding cabaret-musical Modern Luv. It was fresh from a well-received run at the Triple Door when I saw its "unplugged" incarnation Tuesday night at the Rendezvous Jewelbox.

When I spoke with Seattle International Film Festival's Artistic Director Carl Spence and Managing Director Deborah Person a few weeks ago, the two were having trouble keeping some big news under their hats. Since the interview was taking place in their freshly moved-into offices at Seattle Center, I couldn't imagine what else they'd be announcing. At the time, SIFF was still working on raising about $160,000 to close out its Film Center capital campaign of $2.8 million.

SIFF has officially moved their offices into the new SIFF Film Center at Seattle Center. They're taking up residence in what was formerly known as the Alki Room in the Northwest rooms. There they will offer exhibits, presentations, and film programming, as well as educational programs. The heart of the new Film Center is a jewelbox cinema seating about 100--though they'll continue showing film at SIFF Cinema in McCaw Hall.
