The rundown
This week is insanity on a stick. Instead of the usual well-considered and researched prose, I'm gonna resort to the trick of lazy writers everywhere: The list.
HOT: Free drinks at Grill from Ipanema. All you have to do is speak fluent Portuguese. That couldn't be so hard, could it?
HOTTER: 300% Dynamite. It makes driving to work in the rain because you parked your car in a Wednesday street cleaning zone at least a little pleasurable. Really old ska, rocksteady, reggae, all with a reverb that can kill small rodents. Yeah.
SUPER LAME: $100 parking tickets. 7-9:30 a.m. rush hour on a Hill backstreet? Give me a break. Better yet, give me my $100 back.
PASSABLE: The Carlsonics album. There's at least one track here that's Bluestate material and a few others that are worthy of serious rocking out, but DC's best live band (sorry, I don't like Washington Social Club) needs a little more production, even if it's supposed to be underproduced garage rock.
STRANGE: The fact that you can't get Alpha-Bits cereal in this town. What's going on?

That sucks. You can try fighting it - was it a handwritten ticket or one of the printed ones?

Naah, they're all printed now.
