On Thursday night, singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes invited us into his living room. He dimmed the lights, lit a few candles and rolled out a big rug before grabbing his guitar and playing some tunes. OK, it wasn’t actually his living room, but the intimacy of the Paramount Theatre, the cozy set and the songs — vulnerable and synth-free — made it feel like our buddy Shawn called us up for a house show.

There's a moment from the 2008 Grammy Awards that gives me chills every time I see it. "Rehab" by English singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse had just been announced as record of the year. Winehouse, with her signature beehive and thick winged eyeliner, stares like a deer in headlights for about five seconds processing what she just heard in a moment of disbelief, before celebrating with her band and family. It's genuine and joyful.

As 2023 comes to a close, it’s time to reflect on all the great media that came out of the year, including books! We wanted to know what titles Seattle Public Library patrons were reading this year, so we asked our friends at the library to share their list of the most checked-out books of 2023. Fittingly, the two most checked-out physical books this year were by authors with Seattle ties: “Lessons in Chemistry” by Bonnie Garmus and “A Fever in the Heartland” by Timothy Egan.

They were spoiled once again when both divas (and we mean that as a compliment) decided to release concert films of their shows for fans to relive or see for the very first time.
