Songs We Love: Priests, “JJ”
If 2014’s Bodies And Control And Money And Power EP explored how politics informed @666priests666‘s personal lives, then “JJ” dives into the weirdness of the interpersonal — not offering solutions, just asking more questions, which has long been Priests’ M.O.

Alley Lives in Washington
A great read by Puff Pieces drummer, DC historian, and amazing neighbor Amanda Huron.
It’s funny how history gets framed, and forgotten, especially in a place changing as fast as Washington, D.C. Alleys in D.C., a Washington Post reporter told us a couple weeks ago, were “once dreaded.” Now they’re becoming “fun, even chic.” Back in the bad old days – which the reporter glosses…
