Tides sweep the eggs ashore, where they cling to seaweed and rock and pebbled beach. Kelp washes up four inches thick with the yellow roe. Murders of ravens feed on the eggs, and scores of gulls. Did I dream that I saw 15 bald eagles, like waiting angels, in one tree? No.]]></description><author> Janisse Ray</author></item><item><title><![CDATA[OUR PICKS]]></title><link>http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A6958-2005Apr21.html?nav=rss_print/weekly/weekend</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A6958-2005Apr21.html?nav=rss_print/weekly/weekend</guid><pubDate>Sun, 24 Apr 2005 7:48:52 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[  OUR PICKS <br> Exhibition <br>On Monday at 10 and 3, the Corcoran College of Art and Design will host    "Memorials of Identity: New Media From the Rubell Family Collection,"  a free presentation of multimedia works on the themes of memory and identity by artists both established (South African William Kentridge) and emergent (Indonesian-born, Amsterdam-based Fiona Tan).

Like most of those bands, the Duhks boast a full bevy of skilled pickers who can play this pre-bluegrass music with both a command of the original sources and the freewheeling openness of the post-Grateful Dead era. But this Winnipeg quintet has something the others don't: a lead singer so charismatic she can focus the anarchic spirit of old-time music to a narrow point. Jessica Havey leads the way on "The Duhks," an album that should be a breakthrough for the band and for the genre's youthful revival.]]></description><author></author></item><item><title><![CDATA[DEATH FROM ABOVE 1979  "You're a Woman, I'm a Machine" Vice]]></title><link>http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A6948-2005Apr21.html?nav=rss_print/weekly/weekend</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A6948-2005Apr21.html?nav=rss_print/weekly/weekend</guid><pubDate>Sun, 24 Apr 2005 7:48:52 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[   DEATH FROM ABOVE 1979     "You're a Woman, I'm a Machine"  <em>Vice </em><br> The title of Death From Above 1979's debut album, "You're a Woman, I'm a Machine," is perhaps two-thirds right. Most of the Toronto duo's songs do address women, and the band's elemental sound  --  all bass, drums and vocals  --  does have the clanging insistence of some sort of mechanism. But machines don't have much to say to a "lady," "baby" or "little girl," and DFA 1979 singer-drummer Sebastien Grainger does  --  even if his remarks are nothing a hundred sulky rockers haven't barked before.]]></description><author></author></item><item><title><![CDATA[MINT CONDITION  "Livin' the Luxury Brown"  CagedBird  ZWEI  "2'sday Night" Bolamarge  SOL EDLER  "Song of Solomon, Book One" Bol]]></title><link>http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A6951-2005Apr21.html?nav=rss_print/weekly/weekend</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A6951-2005Apr21.html?nav=rss_print/weekly/weekend</guid><pubDate>Sun, 24 Apr 2005 7:48:52 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[    MINT CONDITION     "Livin' the Luxury Brown"   <em>CagedBird</em>  ZWEI     "2'sday Night"  <em>Bolamarge</em>  SOL EDLER     "Song of Solomon, Book One"  <em>Bolamarge </em><br> A six-year recording hiatus hasn't tarnished Mint Condition's neo-soul sound.

Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra  plays pulsating grooves, some original, some covers of Fela Kuti, with amazing energy in its live shows. See the group at the 9:30 club (202-393-0930) . . .    Ben Lee, Har Mar Superstar  and    Maria Taylor  are at the Black Cat (202-667-7960). Lee can be entertaining, but Har Mar Superstar's kitsch-pop show would be enough of a draw for me. . . . Nothing kitschy about    Dave Alvin   --  instead of gimmicks he relies on pure songwriting skill. He's doing an acoustic show at the Birchmere (703-549-7500) . . .

The Norwegian pianist tries to play as quietly and slowly as possible without fading into nothingness. This approach has made him popular with audiences seeking the soothing backdrop of New Age music, but there's much more going on in Gustavsen's music than that.]]></description><author></author></item><item><title><![CDATA[ED HARCOURT  "Strangers"  Heavenly/EMI]]></title><link>http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A6933-2005Apr21.html?nav=rss_print/weekly/weekend</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A6933-2005Apr21.html?nav=rss_print/weekly/weekend</guid><pubDate>Sun, 24 Apr 2005 7:48:52 GMT</pubDate><description><![CDATA[   ED HARCOURT     "Strangers"  <em> Heavenly/EMI </em><br> "Strangers" is hardly the pop equivalent of a confetti cannon.

In addition, although it is not kosher, Bethesda's Tragara (4935 Cordell Ave.; 301-951-4935) continues its tradition of offering kosher-style seder menus through the Passover holiday.]]></description><author></author></item></channel></rss>
