  1. @martinroyle Great song, just not a great track two. Kills the momentum. Swap places with "Policy of Truth" and it might be a perfect album.
  2. @CricketCemetery @dangerdome Every album is superb. Who else in hip-hop can say that? I don't believe in GOATs but never hear her discussed.
  3. Near-perfect albums perhaps purposefully made imperfect by artists who picked the wrong song for track two: "London Calling," "Violator."
  4. Is Missy Elliott the most underrated artist in all of hip-hop? Or all of pop music?
  5. Convo with @FutureTiming about how Missy Elliott never dropped a less-than-great album/"controlled the vibe." Serious quality control.
  6. Did I just hear Will Oldham on "Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me!"? NPR = indie rock illuminati.
  7. It was VERY LOUD (and very cute). My review of #OneDirection at the Patriot Center in tomorrow's WaPo, online now: wapo.st/LhJ6pM
  8. Is Twitter a perpetual mourning machine? Read @MonicaHesse on grief as a meme: wapo.st/LMpHzG
  9. @rachelmachacek Excellent hypothesis!
  10. Every generation deserves five well-mannered young men to ferry them across the the raging hormonal rivers of puberty: wapo.st/LhJ6pM
  11. Phew. Sounds like 24/Seven is just moving down the block. #butineedfalafelnow RT @fritzhahn: Yeah, Joe - moving into the old Love Cafe spot.
  12. Aw, maaaan. 24/Seven on 14th and U Street is back to 0/Zero again. The entire front is boarded up with plywood.
  13. Respect to the guy trying to sell copies of Express for $1 on U Street right now.
  14. After the One Direction show, chaos ensues. Parents can't find their children and music critics can't find their Zipcars.
  15. Parents, teach your kids how an encore works. Everyone at this One Direction show dashed for the exits and are now rushing back in. #cute
  16. @thecaribbean Ahem, it's spelled "1D."
  17. Screaming at this One Direction show is so loud, it's making passages of the music completely inaudible. A first for me. #1D #extremesounds
  18. Twitter says Death Fest is underway in Bmore but I bet the decibels are higher at this screamy One Direction show in Fairfax. #extremesounds
  19. DJ is warming up this One Direction crowd with some Cee Lo. These kids are singing the "forget"s and "ain't that some shhh"s. #cute
