You know how we feel about ladies with big...voices. And guitars, too. It's been far too long since we celebrated ladies who play it loud.
Clarence included Sleater-Kinney in his Gheorghemas finale, so they've been mentioned here recently. They should be mentioned more. Their long-awaited reunion has critics agog, though it would've even if didn't rock.
Ex Hex released Rips in October. It does. The D.C.-based band (bassist Betsey Wright still works at The Black Cat) is led by veteran punk Mary Timony, who's exactly my age. If slightly more edgy.
Indie types will know Courtney Barrett from her summer hit 'Avant Gardener', a slow-moving, but clever story of an anaphylactic episode (rock and rolllllllll). "Pedestrian at Best' starts with a grungy riff and stays there.
Finally, badass Annie Clark has another new track out (as a part of a forthcoming digital remix of her self-titled 2014 record, St. Vincent). We've lauded her before, but man, she's as good as anyone making music today.

tribe are 2-point favorites on the road against conference co-leader uncw. the seahawks blew a 20-point halftime lead in williamsburg earlier in the season, and will be gunning for the good guys. w&m just shat the bed in charleston against the league's worst team. gut check time for the tribe. i wouldn't bet this one (or any one i tout, really), but i'll take the tribe.
high point's john brown threw down one of the most absurdly athletic dunks i've ever seen last night:

underrated: the off-the-bounce underhanded alley oop
I saw TR and Schpeck execute that same play in a lumpless gravy game. Schpeck has mad ups.
I saw you tweet about that last night. I think the pass is better than the dunk.
Pete Rock is djing a J. Dilla mix on Sirius Backspin right now. It's worth checking out.
If you like Dilla.

Nice. I love Dilla. Most underrated hip hop
Producer of all time.
I'm not sure she rocks, but I heard a female singer on NPR this morning who sang like a fairy and has an invisible friend named Clarence.
Just started watching "The Fall". This show is dark and intense. Recommend.
I'm not sure what the line on Florida-Kentucky is but I'd advise you to take UK. Florida is going to get smashed.
Schmoozed our way into a stocked halfcourt suite for ODU-Charlotte. I like hoops even better this way.
I just got done telling people that ODU was following suit like the Tribe the other night and blowing it against a weaker opponent. Then the Monarchs rattled off 12 straight and tied it. I'm bad at this.
Don't be this guy:
Clarence, speaking of the ODU sophomore guard: "Hey, Jordan Baker. Like the girl in Great Gatsby."
Everyone else in this section: "............"
If looks could kill.
Next time try "Jordan baker, like the MLB umpire?..."
The internet is neat:

tribe wins! tribe covers!
Go see Jason Isbell when he's in your neck of the woods. Sweet Jesus does he put on a show.
Florida lost. They played better than I expected but they still lost. Dammit.
zman, did you see isbell tonight? lammie alan reed was in the house.
Yes. Too bad i didn't know that earlier.
ahem, gtb team in and/or near brooklyn. we'll need a report on this:

and hello, gheorghies. someone should make sure clarence has stopped insulting our intellectual inferiors.
12:30 am at penn station on a Saturday night is so confusing. Droves of tramps pouring off of trains while droves of tramps fight their way on to trains.
