YES that too! I didn't previously appreciate the versatility of the onomatopoetic form.

Akira book 6, by Katsuhiro Otomo

Finally read the Akira manga, which was so good it made me retroactively disappointed in the film adaptation (justice for Kei! and Chiyoko! and Miyako! And the much more blatant anti-imperialist themes)

Both excellent choices

Mitski at the Southern Cafe and Music Hall (Charlottesville, VA)....Chappell Roan at 9:30 Club

Feels obvious I would like this. And I do!

Doing an experiment where I listen to Angine de Poitrine even tho I haven't seen That Video

Gladie record is great, what a year for Get Better already

New from me in Washington City Paper, a feature on just a few of D.C.'s dozens of amazing local show photographers--a community as impressive and diverse as the music scene itself!

Spring Arts Guide 2026: The Concerts We Can’t Wait For This season has local bands, up-and-comers, and a few big names—not to mention the return of Mosh Madness and a rave on Pennsylvania Avenue.

You should go to more shows.

For the @wcp.bsky.social spring arts guide, I wrote up Mclusky, Gelli Haha, and Dry Cleaning. That’s only a drop in the bucket for what’s ahead.

Mclusky in town the same day as Mosh Madness is the most vexing overlap of the year, hands down

Shot in the Dark: Turning the Camera On Local Music Photographers Meet the freelance artists who crouch and climb around DIY venues to capture D.C. bands and music history on camera.

Local music photographers squeeze into unusual venues, stumble into push pits, and climb on top of gear boxes to get the shot.

For the Spring Arts Guide, contributor Taylor Ruckle turns the camera on the documentarians of the city’s underground and DIY culture.

First one I thought of was Tongue Tied by Grouplove

I also think Arrival is his best and feel so ambivent about his Dunes. Didn't know he felt this way about dialog but it makes sense, the worst part of either Dune movie is any time a character is speaking

Album kicks so much ass. I can't handle energy drinks anymore, but that's ok, I can just put this on instead

Cover design still looks like the future.

The Albini version of Public Witness Program goes so hard

Highly recommend. Bought the first volume years ago when I was working at a used bookstore - public library has me covered for the rest
