| 1 | Alice in Chains takes willing Paramount crowd back to 1990 | Entertainment |
| Alice in Chains fans, you should be furious. Last night the band did everything in their power to replicate 1990, which felt disingenuous on several levels, starting with the fact that it's 20 years later. | ||

| 3 | Alice in Chains, Death Cab, Pearl Jam and other NW bands are in the hunt for Grammys | Entertainment |
| Like the homecoming court and presidential election, the Grammys are more about popularity and politicking than merit. And spectacle! Because we'd rather ponder Lady Gaga's man-parts than, like, whether her music's any good. | ||

| 5 | Dark beers for dark days: Seattle's best wintertime watering holes | Entertainment |
| Humankind's deliverance from week after week of dispiriting drizzle and murky skies and shoe-soaking puddles and nighttime at 4:30 p.m. is: beer. Dark beer, dark as an umbrella's underside, thick as a wool sweater, rich like the toasted-dust smell of central heating. | ||

| 7 | Seattle music highlights of 2009 in 800 words or less | Entertainment |

| 8 | An introduction to Baby Gramps, a musical enigma | Entertainment |
| Baby Gramps sings in a voice that sounds simultaneously like a twanged rubber band, a Tex Avery cartoon and Tuvan overtone chanting. He plays a battered and ancient steel guitar in a brilliant, percussive style, sometimes with his elbow. | ||

| 9 | Seattle clubs will be hopping on New Year's Eve | Entertainment |
| New Year's Eve beats Halloween as Reveler's Amateur Hour. Under-experienced, overachieving celebrants don't know how to successfully manage the evening and, when the clock strikes midnight, end up alone on a sidewalk by a gas station or — gasp — in line at the bar. | ||
