Picks of the Week 2Friday (Oct. 23), 9pm-2am, The Cellar 744, LahainaThere may be three of them (all in the music business, no less), but neither the Mark Farina of Australia or the Mark Farina of Italy holds a candle to the United States' very own. Born in Chicago, the very home of house music—during the second spring after the Summer of Love (by which I mean, the first one in 1967, in San Francisco, not the one referred to as the "second" in the U.K., a period between 1988 and 1989 heralded as acid house's season of maturation)—Mark Farina was in his mid-to-late teens when the genre hit full swing, emerging from his hometown's underground club scene. Today, Farina is one of the genre's biggest names, and describes himself as a "modern day traveling minstrel." Touting 100 shows per year since the end of his Mushroom Jazz club night in San Francisco, Farina, amidst world travels, released the six-volume Mushroom Jazz series, a body of work that exemplifies his trademark acid jazz-meets-urban beats style. He'll hit Maui this Friday, in a show with enough oomph to make DJ Dynasty Handbag squeal "Ooo, weee!" and get T'Shane to shut-up and dance. 877-71-GROOV, www.groovetickets.com |

Music SceneHow a Filipino boy from Oahu crashed Seattle's hip-hop scene"First and foremost I do have a story to tell. It's my own story, my individual story, but it's not so individual that no one can relate to it," says MC Geologic (aka George Quibuyen). Quibuyen and DJ Sabzi (aka Saba Mohjerjasbi) comprise the Seattle-based hip-hop duo Blue Scholars, which since 2002 has been steadily stirring up nationwide buzz. |

The idea of a sustainable yard—one that uses plants that require less water and labor—should have broad appeal, especially here on Maui. Contrary to popular belief, sustainable landscaping will not make your house look abandoned. |
