If Far Out vs. Hot Dang had an awards show, people would get up from their seats, walk to the stage, and give awards to Far Out vs. Hot Dang. Because landing on our Twitter list is easily as good as an Oscar, and we expect some kind of quid pro quo for that shit. [...]
If you’re looking to get your same-sex loving ass on the dance floor, but you want more to dance to than just Madonna remixes, The New Gay may be able to help.

As much fun as it is to ask Washington's power elite about their cultural tastes at the end of every year, our elected officials rarely stray from safe, vanilla choices. Though President Barack Obama once called The Wire his favorite TV show—even singling out Omar Little as his favorite character—he often cites SportsCenter as his [...]
Bored by the home-made signs, disappointed that I could barely see and hear what was going on onstage, and hoping to escape the crush of the crowd, I wandered into the west building of the National Gallery of Art on Saturday, where I wasn't the only person who'd come to the National Mall for the [...]

The Post's Chris Richards has the early recap [...]
Head-Roc used it conspicuously last week. Tabi Bonney promises that he'll ask Lady Gaga why she is doing it so hard. YU and Oddisee titled a track with it. It is "lunchin' " or "lunching," and it is old in the DMV. But it is eminently useful and still quite awesome, in the way that [...]
in which the author discusses five books he'd read, if time permitted.
1. Anglo-Spanish Rivalry in Colonial Southeast America, 1650-1725, by Timothy Paul Grady.
I was having dinner (or was it lunch?) the other day with a friend. We had sushi (unless, maybe, we had Mexican). After lunch, we went for dessert (cupcakes? Or was it [...]
