It's been more than three years since COVID began to shake up the world with lockdowns, social distancing and other measures that seem like relics of the past…

Imagine this: You're voting on a matter of national significance, you get to the front of the line, and the poll worker asks, "What state are you from?"…

Last week, Spokane Valley released details about how much the city’s multiple investigations into City Council member Al Merkel have cost. At the Nov. 5 Spokane Valley City Council meeting, an expense report on the agenda stated that two independent investigations found Merkel has displayed a pattern of intimidation and hostile interactions with the city’s workforce, and disregarded the Council’s Governance Manual and Washington state laws despite receiving extensive training on public records rules…

As the 40th anniversary of Expo ’74 approaches, we’ve been poring through over old photos, memorabelia and news coverage from the time. We’ll have more in print in the coming weeks, but print just can’t capture one amazing part of Expo — the music…

When City Council President Ben Stuckart told Attorney Laura McAloon he would not be willing to support her for city attorney this week, he cited two reasons: The first was her interactions with the independent investigator looking into the city's police chief scandal, which partly led to the investigator watering down key findings from her report. But the second was a "nasty" voicemail that McAloon sent to Stuckart's personal cellphone, where she allegedly called him a liar. 

In other words, a single voicemail had become a crucial part of the story.

On August 2, the Inlander made a records request intending to obtain that voicemail, and other recent voicemails from or to McAloon from city leaders during that period…

State Rep. Jenny Graham (R-Spokane) called me on my cellphone the day the Inlander published my story about her unwittingly linking to conspiracy theory posts on Facebook. I called her back immediately — while she was still leaving a voicemail — and was greeted with two blasts of profanity. "You cocksucker!…

After seeing our report last week on two leaders being escorted out of Spokane Regional Health District amidst further cuts to leadership, Amelia Clark, the head boss there, called the cops to file a report on her staff for sharing a recording of what she said during a meeting. Clark, the district's administrative officer, specified during a call to the nonemergency Crime Check number on Monday that she wanted an officer to come take her report in person at the health district, despite such reports typically being taken over the phone…

Acoustic duo Sweet Sorrows to visit India

Over the course of his past couple releases, Fernando Corona has morphed from a strings and beats style electronic musician (Remembranza) into a sound sculptor that has pushed inot a territory that toes the line between doom, drone, and ambient music (Cosmos). Of course, my explanations above are somewhat watered-down, and Corona has always shown himself to be a bit outside what other contemporary musicians are doing while at the same time showing a real willingness to redraw his own boundaries. That progression continues with The Versailles Sessions, and while it isn't being labeled as his true follow-up album to Cosmos, it nonetheless finds him creating something completely unique.

Throwing Sparks is the debut release from Gainsville, Florida five-piece Averkiou, and the group certainly doesn't let moss gather. Clocking in at eight songs and just over twenty-two minutes, it's closer to the running length of an EP, but certainly tries to make up for lack of time in instrumental density. Recorded over two and a half years, the process of tracking the release apparently was the cause of many broken instruments and frayed nerves, but there's a raw promise here that's hard to deny.

If you've ever read the blog of Deerhunter, you probably realize that wild mood swings and prolificness are just par for the course. Brandon Cox has written epic rants and then apologize (or not), laying out feelings and thoughts in words that sometimes just seem like a grab for attention. At the same time that he does this, he posts new original songs (often under his solo guise Atlas Sound, which also released an album on Kranky earlier this year), videos, and mixes. Band member Lockett Pundt also releases songs there under the name Lotus Plaza, and he'll also release an album on Kranky next year. Needless to say, the group stays busy.

While on a flight a couple years back, electronic musician Jan Jelinek started talking to a fellow by the name of Sebastian Bogner. He worked for a pharmaceutical company, and after some discussion disclosed that his mother used to like to "play around with synthesizers." As it turned out, that was kind of an understatement, because his mother (Ursula Bogner) actually was so into electronic music that she had a room in their house when he was growing up that was dedicated to playing. Over time, his mother (who was also a scientist within a pharmaceutical company) recorded different tracks and they pretty much went unheard.

Based on the 2004 true-crime docuseries of the same name, the eight-episode series itself focuses on Michael Peterson, who was accused of murdering his wife Kathleen in 2001.

HBO Max CCO Casey Bloys says that executive producers Sarah Jessica Parker and Michael Patrick King did not want to tell a story that is not reflective of the way New York looks today.

When offering more details about his departure from 'CONAN', the host assures that the final episode will feature clips of his favorite moments from the last 11 years, as well as special guests.

Unveiling the star-studded tracklist of his upcoming studio album 'Khaled Khaled', the 'I'm the One' hitmaker brags about 'making history' by reuniting two of the biggest hip-hop stars for his record.

The 'Justice' singer is reportedly joining forces with the Bangtan Boys for his next music release following the merger of his manager's firm and the group's agency.

The 'Wild Thoughts' hitmaker reveals his reaction upon learning that his 'Wish Wish' collaborator has managed to send in her verse for a song called 'Big Paper' on time.

The 'We Got Love' singer refuses to make new music at G.O.O.D Music because she felt 'underappreciated' at the record label owned by the 'Gold Digger' rapper.

The musician behind 2007's 'Rufus Does Judy at Carnegie Hall' will stream his digital performance from Capitol Studios in Los Angeles where he is joined by Kristin Chenoweth and Renee Zellweger.

The November concerts set to take place at at NRG Park will be curated by the 'Sicko Mode' rapper around the creative theme 'Open Your Eyes To A Whole New Universe'.

The 'It's a Sin' actor reveals one of his Years and Years bandmates is returning as a touring member, only a year after departing the group in March 2020.

The 'Sicko Mode' rapper is expanding his Houston music festival to two days while the 'Cars' hitmaker is set to perform his new album 'Intruder' live at an online concert.

The 'On the Floor' hitmaker introduces her mother to fans as she invites the matriarch to join her on stage and perform a duet at the Global Citizen concert in Los Angeles.
