Music fans starved for sonic entertainment in lieu of live events can turn to box sets. There are a number of career-spanning and deluxe-album collections on the market. The only issue is where to begin since there are so many choices. Here are four of the year's best from the Replacements, Tom Petty, Wilco and Dire Straits. For photographer and artist Grace June, confrontation has never come naturally. But with her latest photo series, June has found a way to add her voice to the conversation without forgetting to listen. The series, June said, is titled “We Hear You” in response to those who have said, “I can’t breathe.” Spokane audiences have the chance to watch two new performances thanks to WestCoast Entertainment and STCU Best of Broadway. Beginning Friday, Emmy winner and Tony nominee Liz Callaway's "Home for the Holidays" will be available for viewing. During "Home for the Holidays," Callaway will perform holiday favorites, Broadway showtunes and more. Local rock duo Indian Goat wasn’t about to sit back and graze while waiting for the world of live music to return. Instead, guitarist/vocalist Garrett Zanol and drummer Travis Tveit have taken the past few months to release their latest single, “Rolling Winds,” in November, debut a new music video for their signature stomper, “Be Your Seer,” in December and more. There's nothing sexier than a man with a secret recipe for fried chicken. That's the marketing bet KFC is making in a 15-minute "mini-movie" that's airing on Lifetime this Sunday. In "A Recipe for Seduction," Mario Lopez stars as Harland Sanders, a private chef working for a family whose adult daughter has ditched her fiance for Sanders. If anyone in the world of rock can rest on his laurels, it's Paul McCartney. To put McCartney's place in music history in perspective, I'll defer to George Martin. During an interview with the iconic Beatles producer some 20 years ago, I asked if he ever felt guilty for not cultivating the songwriting genius of George Harrison: "No, I was too busy working with the two greatest songwriters of the century." The Broadway musical comedy “The Prom” (2020, PG-13), about a group of stage actors that descends on a small Indiana town to support a lesbian couple barred from attending their high school prom, comes to the screen from director Ryan Murphy with Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Andrew Rannells and James Corden as the Broadway performers. (Netflix) When the Avalanches’ debut album, “Since I Left You,” was released in 2000, it was a commercial and critical success. Composed painstakingly of more than 3,000 vinyl samples, the sound was brand new: a vast quilting of audio fragments, some decades old, which took the ’90s trend of sampling somewhere completely new. Holiday lights will still illuminate Manito Park this year, just not from inside Gaiser Conservatory. Instead, the annual event has been reworked as a drive-thru holiday lights tour to allow for social distancing. Enchanted Garden Drive-Thru Holiday Lights at Manito Park, presented by the Friends of Manito and Spokane Parks, opens Friday. In olden times, the people behind the so-called gay agenda wanted nothing more than what everyone else already had: marriage, kids, suburban bliss, job security and equal access to all the benignly merry things in life. Some in the LGBTQ+ sphere fretted that this wish list, once granted, strips away some of the qualities that set us uniquely apart. For a company with legions of fans, it seems like every other day Nintendo finds new ways to piss them off. In the past two weeks, the company has been responsible for the shutdown of two video game tournaments in the interest of protecting its copyrights. In late November, Nintendo sent a cease-and-desist letter to the Big House.  “Sound of Metal” opens and closes with tight close-ups on Riz Ahmed, the actor whose performance carries this story of a drummer going deaf. It’s a small film made larger by Ahmed’s ability to take something so interior – hearing loss – and make it so visible and so palpable. While the COVID-19 pandemic has canceled countless events this year, event organizers have made their creativity clear, either figuring out how to present events virtually or rework them so they can continue safely in person. And the holiday season is no different. This month, dozens of holiday traditions have been reinvented. The holidays will feel a bit different this year, but some traditions cannot be thwarted – like our annual viewing of “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Though your gatherings might be smaller than usual, there are a ton of family-friendly viewing options on streaming and a growing number of ways to make them a virtual group experience. On Thursday, the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at WSU announced the recipients of the Black Lives Matter Artist Grants. Each of the 20 winners will receive $2,500 to “fund the creation of art that communicates the voices, experiences and artistic expression of social justice efforts in response to systemic racism,” per a news release.  "Every day's a prize, and sometimes you'll find an answer in the sky," is a line from Elton John "An Answer in the Sky." Cami Bradley, aka Carmen Jane, can relate to John's deep cut since she found her answer in the sky with the help of director Ellen Picken. After listening to Bradley's single, "Numb," Picken envisioned The Spokesman-Review clocktower. Gary Oldman stars as the colorful, alcoholic co-writer of “Citizen Kane” in “Mank” (2020, R), directed by David Fincher from his father’s screenplay. Shot in black and white, this portrait of classic Hollywood also stars Amanda Seyfried as Marion Davies, Charles Dance as William Randolph Hearst and Tom Burke as Orson Welles. (Netflix) Part of the reason most virtual concerts have fallen flat is due to lack of interaction. An essential element of shows is the give and take between the recording artist and the audience. Jim Brickman understands how important it is to engage with fans. The pop/new age solo pianist will perform Friday from his Cleveland home studio. Spokane Arts announced its third and final round of Spokane Arts Grants Awards for the year, with nine local artists and organizations receiving a total of $41,827 from the nonprofit arts advocacy group. The nine proposals from a pool of 28 will use the monies to fund projects in literature, dance, education, painting, therapeutic arts, storytelling and music. From casting call to final dress, the University of Idaho’s upcoming production of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” from Friday-Dec. 13 has been organized entirely over Zoom. Adapted by MFA playwriting candidate Kendra Phillips, the holiday classic will be presented in semi-staged readers theater-style with lighting, special effects and costuming.
