I don't know about you, but sometimes I can fall way behind on popular culture. Unless my kids tell me about something, I'm usually oblivious to it until I come across something that compels me to join the rest of the human race. Such was the case with Jerry Seinfeld's Hulu show"Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee." Recently, I came across something online about the show's host reuniting with his old"Seinfeld" co-star Julie LouisDreyfus. That was enough to ignite my curiosity, but I was stunned to learn Seinfeld's"Comedians" show was already in Season 6.

At any rate, I've spent the last severalweeks playing catch up with the show and have found the show quickly has become my new favorite thing to watch, whether it's on network TV or an Internet

Kacey Musgraves"Pageant Material" (Mercury Nashville) On hersophomore album, Texas singer-songwriter Kacey Musgravesoffersquick reassurance for those worried that some ofher pop dalliances — like opening for Katy Perry — might lead her astray from her country roots. eYou can take me out of the country/But you can't take the country out of me," she sings on "Dime Store Cowgirl,""It don't matter where I'm goin'/I'll still call my hometown home.""Pageant Material" is, in fact, probably even more country than 2013's "Same Trailer Different Park," which netted Musgraves a pair of Grammy Awards and plenty of critical acclaim. Co-produced by Musgraves with Luke Laird and Shane McAnally, who co-wrote most of the album's13 tracks ishe also covers Willie Nelson's "Are You Sure," with Nelson guesting, as a hidden bonus track),"Pageant Material" is melody-driven, rootsy and easygoing, defi ned by ringing acoustic guitars,weepy pedal steel and rich harmonies. It's the sound of a group of musicians playing in a circle — which is exactly how Musgraves and company recorded it at RCA's historic Studio A in Nashville.

LISA BRITTON Ibritton@bakercityherald.com @goNEoregon renowned painter Marcia Cook as the featured artist for July. The opening reception starts at 6 p.m. Friday at Peterson's, 1925 Main St. Originally from Seattle, Cook has lived and painted extensively
throughout the United States for the past 45 years. She has shown her work and received awards through juried shows across the country and has pieces in private collections throughout the U.S., UK and Australia. Cook called Baker City home for 12 years and acquainted herself with the local landscape through painting "plein aire" ion-sitel sketching and photography. She bases her composition on
those photographs, field studies and color notesto compose her paintings in her home studio. "My goal is to invite the viewer to stopand experience a particular moment in time," she said. In 2013, she moved to Spokane, Washington, to be close to family. For more information, contact Peterson's Gallery at541-5231022,mail@petersonsgallerynet or www.petersonsgallerynet. An art show titled "In Plein Sight" will be featured during July at Anders Atelier and Gallery, 1802 Main St. The show features a new body of work by Sandra Ford, all done in oil en plein air, which means painting on site outside. "In Plein Sight" opens at 6 p.m. Friday, and the show will be up through July. Cabin Cowboy Designs, 2013 First St., will be open from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. for the First Friday Art walk.

a< l~i>i I Audio overkill~ Some question 'high-res' By Ryan Nakashima The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Its backers say it does for music lovers what ultra high-definition television has done for couch potatoes. It'sa digitalformat thatpacks nearly seven times the data found on CDs, touted as producing crystal-clear sounds with a sharpness thaQI blow consumers away. Advocates like Neil Young and majorrecord labelssay theformat that's the high end of what's known as'high-resolution" audio restores textures, nuances and tones that listeners sacrifice when opting for
the convenience of music compressed into formats like MP3s or
Apple's AAC. But some recording-technology experts say this super high-res format — known by its 192 kHz, 24-bit technical specs — is pricy digital overkill, an oversized"bit bucket" that contains sounds only dogs or dolphins can truly enjoy. Some cynics say the push to high-res audio is just another attempt to get consumers to rebuy music they already own. Marc de Oliveira did just that in February when he bought Bob Dylan's latest album,"Shadows In
The Night" from the Young-backed PonoMusic store. Already having bought the CD fiom a physical record store, the Copenhagen-based 49-year-old IT consultant splurged on a24-bitversion,hopingtofeel more present in the room where Dylan recorded. Instead, he stumbled on a blog that analyzed the file and found no more than 16 of the 24 bits were used, the same as on the CD. After months of de Oliveira trying to get a refund, Pono's Vice President of ContentAcquisition Bruce Botnick replied to his posts saying that Dylan himselfliked sample
CDs cut in the studio. Engineers mastered the album from those discs, forever locking this particular releaseatthelowerspecs. Still, that hasn't changed what Pono is charging for the file, $17.99, versus the physical CD, which costs

watches that run Google's Android Wear system. For instance, the most popular navigation app, MapsGPS, feels rudimentary. What's good:I can go about five days between charges, while rivals smartwatches max out ata day or two (Apple Watch is officially at 18 hours, though I typically get several hours more). In addition, the display is always on, so you can usea watch as, well,a watch all day. With some smartwatches, the screen goes dark to save battery. The bottom line:The no-frills smartwatch comes across asa toy, but it's also much cheaper than a $349-and-up Apple Watch. Pebble's silicone band feels flimsy, though you can buy better ones from outside parties. Pebble Time supports bothiPhones and Android; some apps andfeatures work with just one or the other.
NEW YORK — As much as I wish the Apple Watch could do more, I find it the best smartwatch available, given its polished design and wide range of apps. But there may be reasons to consider something else. For one thing, Apple Watch requires an iPhone. Pebble Time, in particular, works with both iPhones and Android devices and excels at battery life. But it falls short elsewhere. Whether you need a smartwatch at all is anothermatter.Many people arehappy having one, but others won't need one yet. If you need to stay connected continually and find that pulling out a phone is inconvenient, you might be in the market for a smartwatch. It will give you regular updates, replicating notifications on ANDROID WEAR ($200TO 5350) your phone. You'll also get apps like navigation and fitness. Any manufacturer can make watches based on H ere's a look atsome ofthe alternatives to Android Wear.

"They should have probably been moreactive about notaccepting thatasareal24-bitfile,"de Oliveira said. More than 90 percent of the PonoMusic store is represented essentially by digital copies, or rips, of CDs, Botnick acknowledged to The Associated Press in an interview.

3 (though it's also rectangular). There are seven models so far, with more to come. Older models have steep discounts. What'sgood:Android Wear puts the "smart" in smartwatches by anticipating your needsweather, travel times and appointment reminders, based on what Google learns about you. Creepy, but useful — at least during the occasional times when Google anticipates correctly. The bottom line:It's getting there. The app store and user interface for the year-old Android Wear are just starting to catch up to what Apple Watch had in its first week.

iOS CAMEO Cameo wasa popular video app for iOS. It was then bought byVimeo, and now the popular video site is re-introducinga new app built from the ground up. Cameo taps into your Vimeo account but also your iPhone's camera roll for quick editing in 1080p. Basically it's the video editing app you're going to want to use if you're tied up in Vimeo and want to make your video workflow even better. (Free)

Oregon wines offer pleasant alternative e live in the land ofbeef, lamb and elk steaks. It's what we love to eat and for most of the year, it's easy to match the foods we love with a big red wine. When the mercury climbs and the temperature rises and stays high, those big red wines aren't the perfect match for the foods we cook over flames and the meals we enjoy outside. Fortunately, there are many optionsforwines thatare perfect for hot summer days that pair deliciously with the fresh foods and simple meals we tend to enjoy this time of year. You really have to look no further than the sundrenched Mediterranean and learn a few new names — Vinho Tinto, Cotes du Rhone, Crianza and most importantly Rose. I know it may sound shocking
BEVERLY CALDER bellabakercity@gmail.com @goNEoregon but it's true, some pink wines are very,very good wines. The rose wines of the Mediterranean are simply red wines made without

the skins and oak barrels. These wines are dry and full flavored with complex aromas and are brilliant with everything from sticky barbecue ribs to grilled trout. Because they are made without the long-term fermentation on the grape skins, the wines are softer and more lush. The Mediterranean region has been producing wines for millennia. The history of winemaking and the relationship between moderate consumption and good health has been well documented and popularized by the publication of the French Paradox. Typically, the wines from Spain, Portugal, southern Italy and France are blended from multiple grapetypesrather than a single varietal. Blending is the artistry of winemaking and is a way of creating a wine that is meant to be consumed in its youth. These wines are not built for aging and will actually lose much oftheirappealafter afew years. They are also priced very affordably as they are traditionally made without using new oak barrels (which can cost more than
$8001. The other important detail about summer wine selections istemperature.We 've allheard "serve at room temperature" but in the U.S., normal room temperature

hovers around 70 degrees. When a wine label suggests room temperature, it's really meant for someone living in a European castle where room temperature is a nearly constant 60 degrees. The easiest thing to do with our lifestyles, and our current lack of castles, is to put the bottle of wine in the chiller for 15-20 minutes before opening. I know it sounds crazy, red wine in the fridge, but it's absolutely true. You'll notice the difference the first time you try it. Take a sip of red wine that is at itsproper"room" temperature of 55 to 60 degrees and be amazed by its lush, fruit forward flavors that would be lost in a warmer wine. You'll notice the sweet bouquet that is normally masked by alcohol (at normal room temperature) and you can actually smell and taste the evolution of the wine as it opens in the glass. (Just remember to swirl, sniff and sip — every glass is a wine education in itself.) Enjoy living in the bounty of Oregon knowing that hoppy ales are not the only alternative when the temperature soars. There are many truly delicious wines to discover that will also enhance your favorite summer meals. Beverly Calderis the owner of Bella'sin Baker City and La Grande.

Northeast Oregon eats WHERE I ATE:Lostine Tavern, 125 Ore. Highway 82, Lostine WHAT I ORDERED:Patty melt THE VERDICT:Delicious. Lostine Tavern makes a nice break on a road trip and is clean and well lit. I also like its mission — to support small producers in sustainable agriculture. The patty melt features a Carman Ranch grass-fed patty, caramelized onions and Swiss cheese on grilled rye, all for less than $10. I also had crunchy chips with spicy siracha and carrot cake for dessert. Grass-fed beef reminds me of myyouth growing up on a cattle ranch before grass fed was cool. And I absolutely love caramelized onions. I'd drive many miles to get caramelized onions. Also, I'm a sucker for almost any kind of cheese, having lived once in the cheese-centric state of Wisconsin. The carrot cake? Well, as my mom used to say, you have to have your vegetables. I enjoyed the spacious atmosphere and would recommend this place as a must-stop in Lostine. — Jeff Petersen, Go! editor
