Umm ... Dropnew
The name may scream Rolling Stones, but Paint It Black are a screaming, tough-as-nails punk band, though their new album eerily explodes into foreign territory while still looking back to the genre's undiluted ideals.

New Police Chief's Record is Worrisomenew
I covered D.C. police and courts when Charles Ramsey was in charge, and he seemed to have one way of doing things. If there was a high-profile appearance, a high-profile disappearance or any action at all in well-developed parts of Northwest Washington, he brought a flood of blue and white. But if there was a stabbing, a shooting or a beating in the neighborhoods, he hardly changed a thing.
