- The definitive guide to lamb on campus
By WRGW Blog Team You can throw a stone any direction on campus and hit a restaurant selling lamb. It’s bizarre and unexplainable (guesses include D.C.’s diversity, the number of hungover students, divine intervention) but evident: Foggy Bottom has an unholy devotion to lamb. The Blog Team has taken the plunge and done the hard work… - ALBUM REVIEW: Jeffrey Lewis’s The EVEN MORE Freewheelin’ Jeffrey Lewis
More than a story about the healing power of music, “Inger” captures The EVEN MORE Freewheelin’ Jeffrey Lewis’s theme of legacy. Notably, the singer he describes looks a lot like Lewis himself. Taken with the album’s homage to Bob Dylan’s most famous record in the midst of the current Dylan renaissance, it’s clear Lewis is reflecting on his career. Capturing the way relationships shift and identities evolve, Lewis pays tribute to the past, reasserting his value at a particularly opportune time. - ‘We lost trust in our environmental agencies:’ The fight for environmental justice in Ivy City
Walking the streets of Ivy City in northeast D.C., a distinct smell permeates the residential area. Some say it’s similar to burnt rubber, others say it’s reminiscent of a funeral home. The smell is seemingly traceable to an unassuming building on the corner of Fenwick and Capital Avenue: the National Engineering Products, Inc. (NEP) facility, where sealants for the U.S. Navy are produced. - PHOTO ESSAY: BEESON W/ MANNEQUIN FIGHT @ Pie Shop 2/20
Coming from Utah for their first east coast tour, Beeson rocked pie shop with their indie-west born sound. The opener of the concert was mannequin fight which began the night on high vibes. Beeson maintained the energy with their optimistic guitar pics and light lyrics. The band— with Jane Beeson as the lead singer and Carson Ripley and Avery Davis on guitar—seems to have a bright future; at least the concert goers at Pie Shop seemed very pleased with their night. - Tamino @ Lincoln Theatre, 4/17

By Ananya Gondesi The fire and punch emoji is still being felt all over Washington after a massive scandal on Monday. But there’s still a lot to be answered for. Will NSA Director Mike Waltz step down? Will we continue to see deportations of protestors? Will you be able to afford a car in a… - CONCERT REVIEW: Crafted Sounds Special 2/20 @ Cousin Danny’s
The portal to the Crafted Sounds Special was the scariest door of all time. A cigarette smoking musician had to point it out to us. It was snowing and the gray graffitied door with a lock didn’t seem right, for a second we thought the gig was gonna be in the side yard of the house because of the huge “COUSIN DANNY’S” poster hanging outside. - PREVIEW: Beth Gibbons @ The Anthem 3/30
By Julian Hester Beth Gibbons will bring her “Lives Outgrown Tour” to The Anthem on March 30th. Gibbons first found international success with pioneering trip-hop group Portishead’, who’s singles and albums have garnered a cult following.
