Altars to the Virgin of Guadalupe are ubiquitous in Mexico. Police said one such altar to the country’s patron saint was used to disguise an illegal gasoline tap in Puebla. A trail of fuel leaking into the street Tuesday led authorities to a lot where they found an altar with a protruding red hose, which had been connected to a pipeline owned by the state oil company. Police arrested six people accused of filling up from the Virgin’s tap. (AP)

‘Sometimes people change’ BROOKLYN PARK, MD. Randy Stiles learned the hard way: Having a Confederate flag tattoo that reads “Southern Pride” with a noose hanging off it isn’t a path to success. “A lot of public ridicule came from it,” Stiles, 25, said this month as he waited to get the flag on his right forearm covered. “I’ve got to get it gone.” Eliminating a tattoo like this takes hours under the needle and usually costs as much as $500. But Southside Tattoo in Brooklyn Park, Md., is removing the hate for free, covering up racist and gang-related tattoos as part of its mission. A no-cost cover-up fits right into Stiles’ budget. Though he got the tattoo at 18 — when he was “young and dumb,” he said — the father of three now hopes to move into management at the trucking company where he works and worries the tattoo could hold him back. Though he’s not a racist, he said, the tattoo made him look like one. “It’s not something I would

He and his wife turned to Facebook, offering free cover-ups for racist or gang tattoos with “no questions asked.” “Sometimes people make bad choices, and sometimes people change,” the post reads. “We believe that there is enough hate in this world and we want to make a difference.” The post helped lead to a crowdfunding effort for the Random Acts of Tattoo Project, which Cutlip created with his wife. Cutlip doesn’t take any of the money, but plans to direct it to tattoo artists in other parts of the country who can’t work for free and to those with training in laser tattoo removal. Cutlip, who’s been tattooing for 25 years, said he’s seen plenty of people make mistakes with ink, even involving more mundane designs. Decades later, a customer might not appreciate, say, a tattoo of a dolphin or a college beau’s name.

Show of discontent at home
Virginia GOP lawmaker gets an earful in district that Trump won easily
STEVE HELBER (AP)
VIRGINIA There was a time when Rep. Dave Brat, R-Va., was heralded for his ability to harness grassroots support to defeat the ultimate establishment figure: House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. But three years after winning Cantor’s seat, Brat found himself face to face with angry constituents who said they were frustrated by his inaccessibility and wanted to hold him to account for his support of the Trump administration. At a town hall Tuesday night, Brat absorbed a near-constant onslaught of heckling, interruptions and nasty comments aimed at him by about 200 residents who descended on Blackstone, Va. Hundreds more were shut out, and spent the event on the sidewalk, listening to an outdoor loudspeaker. Brat later said that he anticipated the jeering and promised to hold more town halls, as he did through his first term, although none have been scheduled yet. “I thought it was going to be worse,” he said. The drama unfolded in Nottoway County, a rural community carried by Trump in November, and was just one of several town halls held by GOP lawmakers across the country who are grappling with how to respond to newly animated Democrats. Thomas M. Davis III, a former Republican congressman from Virginia, called the flood

of phone calls, social media comments and protests a “rude awakening” for members of Congress from seemingly safe districts. “I think here are some members who are from single-party districts who have never had to talk to the other side because they have not been relevant to their re-election,” he said. Brat handily won re-election last year in a district drawn to favor a Republican, beating Trump’s margin by nearly 10 points, but Democrats are making their presence known. “These folks may not be able to beat David Brat but they can make noise,” Davis said. Many seized on a chance to let loose on Brat after his recent complaint that women were “in my grill” with demands that he hold a town hall.

When he finally relented and scheduled the public event in Blackstone, an hour south of where most people in Brat’s district live, they were ready. “It was kind of rowdy, but at the same time he kind of created that situation because of his elusiveness,” said Karen E.
Peters, a Chesterfield resident who voted for Brat in 2014 but against him in 2016. Nicole Subryan, 44, a registered nurse from Petersburg, which is not in Brat’s district, held up a sheet of paper with the word “LIE.” She and others seemed unimpressed with his recitation of his grassroots credentials, which helped him topple Cantor, who was criticized for being out of touch with his constituents. And that, said Quentin Kidd, a political scientist and pollster at Christopher Newport University, could come back to haunt Brat. “He has to realize how precarious your hold on a supersafe district can be because he’s the one who demonstrated how precarious a super-safe district can be,” he said.

VIRGINIA Virginia’s Democratic leaders are taking a stand against President Trump over immigration enforcement, with Gov. Terry McAuliffe promising to veto three bills passed by the Republicancontrolled legislature designed to help the federal government arrest undocumented residents. The issue is also playing out across the country, where at least 29 states and D.C. are considering legislation in 2017 regarding illegal immigrants. In Virginia on Wednesday, a bill that would prohibit localities from declaring themselves “sanctuary cities” for undocumented immigrants passed the state Senate, where Republicans hold a slim majority. On the same day, McAuliffe said he would veto it, along with two other measures that would toughen the state’s stand on immigration. His stance comes after state Attorney General Mark Herring challenged Trump’s travel ban in federal court, and positions the state as one of the more aggressive in pushing back against the new administration. The state’s role in federal immigration policy is also becoming a focus of Virginia’s closely

watched governor’s race this year, as Democratic hopefuls Tom Perriello, a former congressman, and Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam have condemned Trump’s actions while their Republican counterparts support them. The issue plays one way in vote-rich Northern Virginia, with its high concentration of immigrants, and differently in rural and down-state suburbs. Virginia is one of 25 states considering legislation this year that would ban the practice of designating sanctuary cities, or places where undocumented people are protected from federal immigration enforcement. Eight more states, plus the District, are considering measures to support sanctuary cities, according to
the National Conference of State Legislatures. On Wednesday, the Virginia ACLU and several groups that serve the immigrant community — including a number of churches — called on McAuliffe to veto the three bills that are now before him. His spokesman said he would. “He doesn’t agree with efforts to turn state or local law enforcement officials into ICE agents,” said spokesman Brian Coy, referring to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. “Our police and sheriff’s departments already have critical jobs to do without being forced to enforce federal immigration law.” GREGORY S.

nation+world British man attacked base near Mosul; had been released in 2004
NATIONAL SECURITY A British suicide bomber who blew himself up in Iraq was identified as a former Guantanamo Bay detainee, prompting questions about how his case was handled after lawmakers and the media lobbied hard for his release. Jamal al-Harith is said to have detonated a bomb this week at an army base near Mosul. The Islamic State identified the 50-year-old bomber as Abu Zakariya al-Britani, a Muslim convert from Manchester. He was born Ronald Fiddler and was known more widely in Britain as
Jamal al-Harith. In March 2004, after a massive campaign by politicians and the media, Harith was released from the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay, along with four others who had been held for two years without trial. He received a reported 1 million pounds in compensation after the British government settled a lawsuit alleging that British agents were complicit in his torture. The payout was arranged in 2010, when the Conservative Party’s David Cameron was prime minister. Born in Manchester, Harith worked for a time as a web designer and later converted to Islam. Shortly after 9/11, he was kidnapped when crossing the Pakistan-Afghanistan border and

Arthur Snell, the former head of Prevent, the government’s flagship counterextremism program, said that British authorities had failed to keep tabs on Harith.

Scientists: Discovery of 7 planets is best bet in search for alien life
NASA
Protections for transgender students lifted
A rendering of what the newly discovered TRAPPIST-1 system looks like compared with Earth’s solar system.
thought life can thrive. Coincidentally, TRAPPIST-1 is in the constellation Aquarius — the water-bearer. Though the planets resemble Earth in terms of size, mass and the energy they receive from their star, further observation is required to figure out what the TRAPPIST-1 planets are made of, if they have atmospheres and whether they hold water, methane, oxygen and carbon dioxide — “biosignatures,” or signs of life. Gillon and his team used ground and space telescopes to identify the planets, which they labeled “b’’ through “h.” The letter “A’’ is typically reserved for the star. The planets cast shadows on their salmon-colored star as they pass in front of it; that’s how the scientists spotted them. The six inner planets are locked in an orbital resonance, meaning the bodies exert regular gravitational influences on one another. By measuring those influences, astronomers could determine the planets’ mass. That in turn allowed them to loosely calculate their densities — giving a sense of how much iron, rock, water and gas the bodies contain.
NASA
SCIENCE A newfound solar system just 39 light-years away contains seven warm, rocky, Earth-like planets, scientists say. The discovery, reported Wednesday in the journal Nature, represents the first time astronomers have detected so many terrestrial planets orbiting a single star. Researchers say the system is an ideal laboratory for studying distant worlds and could be the best place in the galaxy to search for life beyond Earth. “Before this, if you wanted to study terrestrial planets, we had only four of them and they were all in our solar system,” said lead author Michael Gillon, an exoplanet researcher at the University of Liege in Belgium. “Now we have seven Earth-sized planets to expand our understanding.” The newly discovered solar system resembles a scaled-down version of our own. The star at its center, an ultra-cool dwarf called TRAPPIST-1, is less than a tenth the size of our sun and about a quarter as warm. The star’s nearness to the planets means that, from their perspective, it appears about three times as large as our sun. Its planets circle tightly around it; the closest takes just a day and a half to complete an orbit and the most distant takes about 20 days. If these planets orbited a larger, brighter star, they would be fried to a crisp. But TRAPPIST-1 is so cool that all seven of the bodies are bathed in just the right amount of warmth to hold liquid water. And three of them receive the same amount of heat as Venus, Earth and Mars, putting them in “the habitable zone,” that Goldilocks region where it’s
Dwarf star TRAPPIST-1 has a dim glow that skews toward the infrared end of the light spectrum, giving the planets’ skies hues of a perpetual sunset.
Planets e, f and g are the most intriguing because of their position in TRAPPIST-1’s habitable zone. However, the planets’ proximity to the star and one another means that they are tidally locked, like Earth’s moon. One side of each planet always faces the sun; the other is stuck in darkness. This would make for a temperature gradient that could generate powerful winds. Though 39 light-years would be a long way for humans to travel, it’s practically next door when you consider that the Milky Way galaxy is 100,000 light-years across. That puts TRAPPIST-1 within the
South African court rules that government’s decision to withdraw from ICC is unconstitutional
reach of the James Webb Space Telescope, which will be able to detect atmospheric components and thermal emissions from the planets when it launches in 2018. The TRAPPIST-1 researchers, along with several astronomers not involved with the study, say this system is our best target yet to search for extraterrestrial life. Though exoplanet scientists often focus on worlds orbiting sunlike stars, the brightness of those stars makes it difficult to spot small, rocky planets. TRAPPIST-1’s planets are easy to find amid its dim, cool glow. SARAH KAPLAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)
EDUCATION The Trump administration has lifted federal guidelines that said transgender students should be allowed to use school bathrooms and locker rooms matching their chosen gender identity. The Wednesday decision is a reversal of an Obama-era directive issued in May. It will now be up to states and school districts to interpret whether federal sex discrimination law applies to gender identity. A letter sent to schools nationwide Wednesday says the directive caused confusion and lawsuits over how it should be applied. Transgender rights advocates say the Obama-era directive was necessary to protect students from discrimination. Opponents argued it was federal overreach. The reversal represents a significant setback for the gay rights movement, which made enormous gains under former President Barack Obama. It suggests that President Trump, who had signaled during the campaign that he supports gay and transgender rights, will hew closer to the GOP party line. The decision does have an immediate impact on public school students because a federal judge had already put a hold on the Obama-era directive, but will instantly affect several legal cases, including that of Gavin Grimm, a transgender Virginia teen who sued his school board for barring him from using the boys’ bathroom.

what’snew@metro F
A Message from Metro General Manager/CEO Paul J. Wiedefeld Earlier this month, we released the first Back2Good update to provide a glimpse of the state of Metro at the beginning of 2017. This report demonstrates progress being made to improve system safety and the customer experience, and achieve critical cost savings. After a difficult year that included the start of the aggressive SafeTrack maintenance program, we are now beginning to see incremental improvements in the performance of our railcars, track repairs, new safety procedures and efforts to reduce expenses. One of the latest efforts to lower costs is a new partnership with the federal government to lower the rate we pay for electricity used within the District of Columbia. This is expected to save Metro more than $1 million each year, and we’ll explore similar partnerships in the other jurisdictions. In 2017, we are conducting “Get Well” maintenance efforts on our railcars, retiring the oldest and least reliable cars, and bringing more 7000-series trains into service. By the end of 2017, all 1000- and 4000-series railcars should be off our system, and that should mean fewer offloads and delays caused by railcar issues. We are also focused on improving the customer experience by making our rail stations cleaner, brighter and safer. And when SafeTrack comes to a close this summer, we will move to a new preventive maintenance effort that identifies and addresses track defects before they cause a service disruption. All of this work comes down to one thing – providing service that meets the standards of safety and reliability that our riders deserve. Read the first Back2Good update here on this page. We will be providing more in the coming months, and we’ll look to you – our riders – to tell Metro when we’re getting “back to good.”

Deportee camps in Mexico? U.S. plan aims to send non-Mexican refugees back across border, too WASHINGTONPOST.COM POWER POST
Meeting shows new stance of conservatives
Protesters in Boston demonstrate in support of immigrants and refugees.
Tijuana was overwhelmed, and while the government did little, a string of private Christian groups pitched in to open shelters with improvised bedding, tents and sanitary facilities. Mexicans quake at the thought of handling not thousands, but hundreds of thousands of foreigners in a border region already struggling with drug gangs and violence. It’s unclear whether the U.S. has the authority to force Mexico to accept third-country nationals. The DHS memo calls for the department to provide an account of U.S. aid to Mexico, a possible signal that Trump plans to use that funding to leverage Mexico into accepting the foreigners.
STEVEN SENNE (AP)
POLITICS Mexicans fear deportee and refugee camps could pop up along their northern border under the Trump administration’s plan to start deporting to Mexico all Latin Americans and others who entered the U.S. illegally through the country. Previous U.S. policy called for only Mexican citizens to be sent to Mexico. Migrants known as “OTMs” — Other Than Mexicans — were flown back to their homelands. Now, under a sweeping rewrite of enforcement policies announced Tuesday by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, migrants might be dumped over the border while their asylum claims or deportation proceedings are heard in the United States. Officials didn’t say what Mexico would be expected to do with them. The only consensus so far in Mexico about the new policies of President Trump is that the country isn’t remotely prepared. “Not in any way, shape or form,” said the Rev. Patrick Murphy, a priest who runs a shelter in the border city of Tijuana. The shelter currently houses about 55 Haitian immigrants. They were part of a wave of thousands who swarmed to the border in the closing months of the Obama administration in hopes of getting asylum in the U.S.
“We are not going to accept that because we don’t have to and it is not in the interest of Mexico.” LUIS VIDEGARAY, Mexico’s foreign relations secretary, on the new U.S. policy of deporting non-Mexican illegal immigrants to the country
“I hope Mexico has the courage to say no to this,” said Murphy. Mexico’s foreign relations secretary, Luis Videgaray, said Wednesday that his country has “no reason to accept unilateral decisions imposed by one
government on another.” Victor Clark, director of Tijuana’s Binational Center for Human Rights, said Mexico can refuse to accept non-Mexican deportees. The United States could pay to build the needed facilities. There would be precedents for such a deal, such as Turkey agreeing to house Syrian refugees headed for the European Union in exchange for at least $3 billion in aid. “For this to be politically acceptable in Mexico, it would have to be paid,” said Alejandro Hope, a Mexico City-based security analyst. “No Mexican administration could accept this kind of thing unless it were accompanied by billions of dollars.” MARK STEVENSON (AP)

Thousands of newly released emails detail EPA head Scott Pruitt’s close ties to fossil fuel industry
Thousands of activists are meeting in National Harbor, Md., this week for an annual gathering that will vividly display how President Trump has pushed the Republican Party and the conservative movement toward an “America first” nationalism that’s long existed on the fringes. Panels scheduled for the Conservative Political Action Conference — which began Wednesday night and concludes Saturday — include how the left does “not support law enforcement” and why the U.S. can’t have the same security standards as heaven (“a gate, a wall and extreme vetting”). The event will also showcase the tension created as new voices reshape conservative thinking. This year’s CPAC schedule represents a marked shift toward Trump’s politics and penchant for showmanship. Nigel Farage, the pro-Brexit politician, will speak the same morning as Trump. Reality TV star Dog the Bounty Hunter will appear with a group trying to draft Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, a frequent Trump supporter on cable news, into Wisconsin’s 2018 Senate race. Former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele said the American Conservative Union board will have to face the reality that connecting the Trump wing and more traditional conservatives won’t be easy.

Pierre Garcon, top, and DeSean Jackson have dropped hints that they’ll test the free-agent market.
WELCOME TO TOWN
Wizards get Bogdanovic from Nets
RICK SNIDER | SPORTS GURU
If Pierre Garcon’s Instagram account is any indication, the Redskins’ wide receiving corps may soon be short-handed. Garcon this week posted “YallHiring?” on social media, stoking speculation over his upcoming free agency. On a podcast with ESPN’s Adam Schefter this week, DeSean Jackson talked about the potential “great story ending” of a return to the Eagles when the league year begins March 9. Instead of debating which top receiver Washington should retain, the team could find itself without both. That prospect might not make quarterback Kirk Cousins eager to sign a long-term deal, either. Garcon and Jackson, both 30, have said previously they would like to stay. That sounds swell until outside bidders dangle what could be the last big-money contracts of their careers. For their part, the Redskins would like to keep both.
Jackson stretches defenses like few NFL players. He had 56 catches in two of the past three years with Washington, topping 1,000 yards each time. Garcon has been a leader during five seasons in Washington with a team-record 113 catches in 2013. He had 1,041 yards on 79 catches in 2016, and when the Redskins needed a first down, they often looked his way. The Redskins are also at risk of losing two fellow unrestricted free agents, defensive lineman Chris Baker and tight end Vernon Davis, and a restricted one in tailback Chris Thompson. This spring could bring the biggest loss for Washington since free agency began in 1992, and that’s not factoring in a potential exit for Cousins if he doesn’t get the franchise tag. If the Redskins give Cousins the tag for $24 million this year, they might not be able to afford the blockbuster deal Jackson is seeking. Jackson is dinged up too often and has caught 60 balls just once in the past seven seasons. With expected suitors such as the Eagles, Rams and
GETTY IMAGES
Wide-open future: Garcon, Jackson both likely to bolt
Buccaneers, Washington may balk at his price tag. Garcon wants a longer contract than the Redskins can give him. Receivers tend to slow down around age 30, so the team would likely prefer a two-year deal rather than the four-year contract Garcon would want. Three years would be a compromise, but other clubs could inflate the bidding. What does Washington do if it loses both receivers? Pray Josh Doctson gets healthy after the first-rounder played only 31 snaps last season with Achilles problems. Maybe pick a receiver in the first round for the second straight year despite a defense desperately needing linemen. Perhaps rely
more on tight end Jordan Reed and Thompson, who combined for 115 catches last season. Definitely promote Jamison Crowder to the No. 1 role after he hauled in 126 receptions and nine touchdowns in his first two years. Washington could also go shopping. Kenny Stills, Kendall Wright and Brian Quick are all 27 or younger and slated to become free agents, but they’ll be pricey. It won’t take long for the Redskins to know their options. Most likely, Jackson and Garcon won’t be among them.
In an attempt to bolster bench production, the Wizards acquired 6-foot-8 swingman Bojan Bogdanovic, below, and power forward Chris McCullough from the Nets on Wednesday, the day before the NBA trade deadline. Washington will send Marcus Thornton and Andrew Nicholson, veteran reserves who had fallen out of the rotation, and a 2017 first-round draft pick to the Nets. Bogdanovic, 27, has started 54 of his 55 games for the Nets this season, averaging 14.2 points and scoring 20 or more 12 times. Although McCullough, 22, appears to be more of a project, he has made steady progress since tearing an ACL in 2015. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Pelicans’ potential ‘is scary’ NEW ORLEANS DeMarcus Cousins says his prayers have been answered. The Pelicans’ newest All-Star maintained Wednesday that he liked Sacramento and initially wasn’t happy about being traded Sunday night, but revealed he was frustrated with the lack of elite talent on the Kings’ roster. “I would go home, just stressed out,” he said, “pulling my hair out, you know, praying, praying, praying: Just send me some help.” Cousins was dealt along with Omri Casspi for Buddy Hield, Tryeke Evans, Langston Galloway and first- and second-round picks this summer.

Davis and Cousins debut as teammates tonight at home against Houston. Davis is averaging 27.7 points, 11.9 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game this season. On Sunday, he scored an All-Star Game record 52 points and was named MVP. Cousins is averaging 27.8 points and 10.6 rebounds and can become a free agent in 2018 unless the Pelicans can sign him to an extension. The key with Cousins, who declined to discuss his contract, is his disposition. Asked to describe how intense he is, Cousins grinned and said, “about 17 technicals’ worth,” as he referred to his league-leading technical foul total, which has already resulted in a suspension. He said he has to rein in his emotions but “remain myself.” BRETT MARTEL (AP)

This bass is driving D.C.’s jazz scene MUSIC On a recent Sunday outside RhizomeDC, Luke Stewart pondered the music he’d just performed — a shower of unrehearsed fireworks the bassist and his collaborators had channeled on the spot. “Improvisation has the possibility to be relatable to anybody,” Stewart says. “It’s the only approach to music that provides an opportunity for people to experience something the world has
never heard. And that’s infinite. Bottomless.” So is Stewart’s desire to infuse fresh energy into D.C.’s ailing jazz ecosystem. After 11 years in the area, the 30-year-old Mississippi native has made himself into the most consistent presence in the District’s improvisational music community, organizing roughly 10 concerts a month. He plays in at least nine groups and, on top of that, co-pilots the jazz site CapitalBop and hosts a weekly jazz program on WPFW (89.3 FM). As a musician, Stewart says his greatest concern is learning how to express his commitment to

Diners at The Block in Annandale can enjoy treats such as poke, bubble tea and craft cocktails from six vendors.
In Annandale, new snacks at The Block Union Market isn’t your only option for a cool food hall. The Block, a space with six vendors, is hiding in a nondescript shopping center in Annandale, Va., next to a Kmart. Developer Arturo Mei says he wanted to give residents in the area “something that people didn’t have to go to D.C. for.” Inspired by food halls he’d seen in New York and Los Angeles, Mei converted 5,000 vacant square feet into the concept, which he says is meant to capture the vibe of a block party (hence the name). The best way to enjoy The Block is with stops at various stalls for a meal that progresses over a few hours, including drinks, small plates, a bowl of soup or poke and dessert. And that’s just in the early days. “We would like to make something like this even bigger in the future,” with a wider range of cuisines, he says. Stalls have been gradually added to the roster since The Block’s opening in December. Here’s a rundown of what you can expect. BECKY KRYSTAL (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Mei had been parking his SnoCream Company retrofitted school bus near The Block’s building for around two years before setting up shop in the food hall, where he sells his interpretation of the relatively new Taiwanese dessert. It’s a bit like shave ice and a bit like ice cream and uses a special machine to create fluffy mounds of the frozen treat, in flavors including Thai iced tea, mango and pandan. It’s decorated with such toppings as taro pudding, mochi and cereal, and sauces along the lines of caramel and condensed milk. The stall also serves boba, or bubble, tea.

Japandroids drummer David Prowse, left, and guitarist Brian King have a thing for blackand-white portraits.
CAMILO CHRISTEN
SUN 26
Searching for the sound Rock duo Japandroids embrace the journey on a big, bold new LP MUSIC The first two Japandroids albums, “Post-Nothing” and “Celebration Rock,” each followed a dogmatic but simple formula: Singer-guitarist Brian King and drummer David Prowse banged out eight loud and raw rock songs just as they would play them live. The albums’ covers even looked the same: Each had a black-andwhite photo of the pair framed with a white border against a black background with white lettering that said “Japandroids” and the title. “When we finished [2012’s] ‘Celebration Rock’ and we finished touring that record, we’d kind of completed everything we set out to do,” King says. “We loved really raw and direct live-sounding records, and that’s what we wanted to do when we first started the band. … There was nowhere we could push those same kind of songs and
that same kind of sound and same kind of show to a more maximal point. It was already at a 10.” The Canadian band’s justreleased third album, “Near to the Wild Heart of Life,” doesn’t throw out that formula completely, but the record does mark a new era. Gone is the cover aesthetic (this time it’s a blackand-white photo of the duo with no words) and, more importantly, the sound has subtly shifted. For the first time, the duo embraced overdubs, adding acoustic guitars, synths and background vocals to their anthemic rock songs. “We wanted to try and make a record that was more like a real studio record,” King says. “It wasn’t supposed to be something that sounded live or sounded really off-the-cuff. A lot of the great rock records that we love [have] a little bit of everything — a range of songs and tempos and emotions — and a lot of great rock ’n’ roll records take you on a journey from start to finish. We never really felt like
Turning heads For the B-side of the “Near to the Wild Heart of Life” 7-inch vinyl single, Japandroids recorded a cover of Talking Heads’ “Love —> Building on Fire,” an early track from the art-pop band. “The thing I love about that song is it’s really simple and it lends itself to a little bit of adding your personality to it,” guitarist Brian King says. R.G.
we accomplished that on our first two records, and that was something we were really conscious of.” On the surface, “Near to the Wild Heart of Life” still sounds similar (this isn’t Radiohead’s game-changing “Kid A,” King notes), but listen closely and you’ll find that these eight songs are bigger, bolder and more complete. “There’s this feeling of rebirth, in a way,” King says. There’s even a loose narrative: The first four songs tell one story, the next three tell another and album closer “In a Body Like a
Grave” serves as an epilogue that ties it all together. It shouldn’t be a surprise, then, that the album’s title (and opening track) “Near to the Wild Heart of Life” was inspired by two books King read: James Joyce’s “A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man,” which uses the phrase at one point, and Clarice Lispector’s novel “Near to the Wild Heart.” As King wrote the song, the direct link between his words and these two works of fiction became less obvious, but he was still drawn to the phrase. “It’s the word ‘near,’ ” he says. “The fact that you’re near to the wild heart of life but you’re not there. … In a sense, you’re always near what you’re looking for but … we’re just never quite there. That’s what I think all the songs had in common. You’re trying to get to a place, and when you get there, you’ll just be trying to get to another place. It’s the journey forward that matters.” RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS)

They are so cute and snuggly and somehow hate you and love you at the same time. “Kedi” is about the street cats of Istanbul — seven of them, in particular, all of whom clearly think they are far too good to be in this movie. This group represents the hundreds of thousands of cats who roam the city and have integrated themselves into its culture. Just like it’s true that a cat owns you — never the other way around — this group rules an entire city.

BY LI LI DIRECTED BY JACKIE MAXWELL
CLAUDIO VAZQUEZ
FILM In the 1960s, inside the clapboard duplexes of Southeast D.C., a new style of blues was born. Fleet-fingered teenagers with omnivorous musical appetites cooked up an Americana gumbo that married the blazing tempos of bluegrass with fresh, jazzy chords. That scene, and its foremost practitioner — a virtuosic guitar player named Danny Gatton — are the subject of a new documentary, “Anacostia Delta,” that will get its first big screening on Saturday at Amp. “Danny coined the term ‘Anacostia Delta’ because the music started in Southeast D.C. and, from there, percolated throughout the rest of the region and the world,” says Ken Avis, a coproducer of the film. “When he lived there, it was primarily a neighborhood of working-class white people who moved into D.C. after the war, and they brought banjos and bluegrass, and mixed that with the jazz and the soul and the country and the funk that was already here.” That a particular style of blues originated here is news to many, but Anacostia Delta guitarists like Gatton, Billy Hancock and the late Roy Buchanan are beloved among blues connoisseurs, Avis says. “These guys are still cult legends around the world,” he says. Director Bryan Reichhardt hopes his documentary will get the word out about D.C. blues musicians who never got their due — especially Gatton. The cover boy for Guitar Player magazine’s 1989 article on “amazing players you’ve never heard of,” Gatton was admired by Eric Clapton and Les Paul for

his lightning-fast fretwork and quicksilver imagination. “He was just untouchable. You never knew what was going to come out of that magic box of his,” says Dave Chappell, a former student of Gatton’s. “Even if he was playing a jazz tune, you might hear a banjo roll or a Les Paul quote — you didn’t know what was going to happen next.” Gatton, who hated touring, played locally and made ends meet by working in a sheet metal shop. He finally got a major record deal with Elektra, putting out two largely instrumental albums in 1991 and 1993. The first, “88 Elmira St.,” was critically acclaimed, but the label ultimately dropped Gatton due to sluggish sales. He seemed to take the setback with characteristic equanimity and good humor, according to his friends and family. When Gatton committed suicide in 1994, everyone was stunned,
Chappell says. “He must have had demons that we just weren’t aware of,” Chappell says. “That makes his musical generosity even the more impressive. He was like a musical Santa Claus, always willing to take young musicians under his arm and show them a thing or two. I am so thankful to have known someone like him.” Gatton’s music lives on through Chappell and other guitarists who were inspired by Gatton and the Anacostia Delta sound he helped shape, Reichhardt says. “I hope we have a role in pushing [the music] out there a little bit more,” he says. “That is pretty much our goal: to get the music out there and prove to the world that we are a music town.” SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS)

Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama has been building her mirror rooms since 1965, and she isn’t done yet.
To selfie or not to selfie?
NATASHA HARTH (QAGOMA PHOTOGRAPHY)
EXHIBITS When Yayoi Kusama moved to New York in 1958 with a suitcase of watercolor paintings, the 29-year-old Japanese artist went directly to the top of the Empire State Building. “Seeing this big city, I promised myself that one day I would conquer New York and make my name in the world,” she said in a 2012 interview. Amazingly, she succeeded. For more than a decade, Kusama’s groundbreaking paintings, sculptures and installations won rave reviews and were shown alongside the works of big-name artists like Andy Warhol and Claes Oldenburg. And yet she never quite won the respect accorded to her male counterparts, who were inspired by her work and sometimes even copied her ideas. Stressed out and suffering from hallucinations, Kusama returned to Japan in 1973 and voluntarily checked herself into a mental institution, where she still resides. After she left the U.S., the New York art scene quickly forgot about her, and art historians later followed suit, says Gloria Sutton, an art history professor at Northeastern University. “I think there is just a blind spot when it comes to female artists and Asian artists in the
art history narrative,” Sutton says. “That’s especially true for artists like Kusama, who worked in so many different mediums.” A flurry of interest in Kusama’s work is beginning to correct that oversight, and that includes a massive new exhibit, “Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors,” which opens at the Hirshhorn on Thursday for a 14-week run before traveling to five other museums in the U.S. and Canada over the next two years. “This exhibit, and all the wonderful scholarship around it, will introduce an entire generation to Kusama, and I think it’s so important it’s happening within her lifetime,” says Sutton, who contributed an essay to the “Infinity Mirrors” catalog. “Infinity Mirrors” covers 50 years of Kusama’s work, from her early drawings to her recent colorful paintings and sculptures, but the heart of the show is six “mirror rooms” — little spaces with walls covered in mirrors that reflect the viewer and other objects inside endlessly. At past exhibits, people have waited in line for hours to experience Kusama’s rooms. This is, in part, because they have become trendy selfie spots (see sidebar), but also because the mirror rooms provoke a feeling of wonder and transcendence, Sutton says. “The minute that door closes, you feel the atmosphere of the room,” she says. “It’s quite stunning — your sensory perception
Yayoi Kusama’s mirror rooms have been wildly popular selfie spots in recent years, and the Hirshhorn exhibit will probably be no exception. However, you may want to think twice before snapping a photo. After all, visitors are given only about 45 seconds in each room, and that time is better spent actually contemplating the art, says Washington Post features reporter Lavanya Ramanathan. “I am going to argue for the mindful, ‘be here now’ approach to museum-going,” she says. In contrast, Huffington Post art critic Priscilla Frank says that selfies are a perfectly acceptable way to respond to the mirror rooms. “It’s this very physical way to enact what I think is the spirit of the room: dissolving boundaries, proliferating yourself and also sharing yourself,” Frank says. Whether you snap a photo or not, the trippy experience of seeing your face multiplied endlessly among a sea of glowing pumpkins, floating candles or twinkling lights will either reinforce or puncture your ego, or perhaps do both at the same time. It all depends on you. S.D.
Visitors add stickers to each iteration of Yayoi Kusama’s “The Obliteration Room” (like this version that opened in 2011 at the Queensland Art Gallery in Australia).
Win tickets! Tickets for the exhibit’s first two weeks have all been snapped up. But you can win two tickets — that you can use anytime — by finding polka dots, taking a photo and posting it on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram with the hashtag #expressdots by 11:59 p.m. Wednesday.

just shoots up.” Kusama, 87, began creating the rooms to capture her own hallucinatory visions, says exhibit curator Mika Yoshitake. “She was working endlessly, almost four or five days straight without even sleeping, and she was having these visions of these endless profusions of things, flowers and polka dots and phallic tubers,” Yoshitake says. “The infinity mirror rooms were a way in which to create endless
fascinating environments of these accumulations in an instantaneous way.” Kusama made her first mirror room, “Phalli’s Field,” in 1965, creating an endless expanse of phallic tubers covered, comically, in polka dots. Later rooms provide viewers with a more transcendent experience. 2013’s “The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away,” for instance, is filled with twinkling lights that make visitors feel like they are
You’ll never guess what’s inside 2016’s “All the Eternal Love I Have for the Pumpkins.”

floating among galaxies. The room that may prove most popular at the exhibit, however, isn’t a mirror room at all. Created anew at every museum it visits, “The Obliteration Room” consists of an all-white space filled with white furniture and objects. Everyone who enters the room will be given a sheet of colorful polka-dot stickers and invited to put them wherever they want. “You are kind of all working together in this communal, utopian
way, to transform the space,” Yoshitake says. “It’s a cheerful, wonderful experience I think a lot of people will enjoy.” But like much of Kusama’s art, “The Obliteration Room” has a sinister edge. Reading into the name of the room, it’s easy to see the polka dots as hollow, as if someone has punched holes into the very fabric of space, Yoshitake says. “She’s suffered a lot, and the artwork is really a kind of
therapy, a healing process for her,” Yoshitake says. Perhaps that’s why Kusama’s installations have attracted such a devoted following. In her relentless quest to heal herself through art, Kusama has opened up a way for others to heal as well. SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS)

Jay Z makes history for Songwriters Hall This year, he’ll become the organization’s first rapper to be inducted MUSIC The Songwriters Hall of Fame announced Wednesday that Shawn “Jay Z” Carter, Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds and Max Martin are among its 2017 class of inductees. Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis and three members of Chicago — Robert Lamm, James Pankow and Peter Cetera — as well as Motown founder Berry Gordy, who deferred his induction in 2016, will also be inducted. Jay Z will become the first rapper ever inducted into the hall when he enters the prestigious
It’s about time Linda Moran, president of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, told The New York Times that Jay Z’s induction this year is “a step into the future.” “We can’t nurture young songwriters if we can’t accept them and grow with them,” she said, adding that Jay Z was “so over the moon” when he heard the news of his induction. “He was flipping out, he was going crazy,” she said.

hits in the last two decades, from “Big Pimpin’ ” to “Empire State of Mind.” Babyface has won countless Grammys for writing hit songs for Whitney Houston, Boyz II Men and other acts, while Martin has become pop music’s leading contemporary songwriter, co-writing No. 1 hits for Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, the Weeknd and other superstars. Songwriting hall nominees who did not move on to induction include the late George Michael, Madonna, Bryan Adams, Vince Gill and Gloria Estefan. The organization’s 48th Annual Induction and Awards and Dinner takes place June 15 in New York. MESFIN FEKADU (AP)

Fans crowdfunding a David Bowie memorial Artists and activists want to create a permanent memorial to David Bowie, the musical legend who died in 2016, in the London neighborhood where he was born. Plans were unveiled Tuesday for a three-story-tall lightning bolt sculpture, inspired by the cover of Bowie’s album “Aladdin Sane.” A crowdfunding campaign aims to raise 1 million pounds ($1.25 million) to build the artwork. The project has local government support. The proposal is to install it across from the Brixton Underground station, beside a mural of Bowie as Aladdin Sane. (AP)

JOSE A commenting on Instagram’s carousel feature, which will allow users to share up to 10 photos at a time. With the new feature, multiple photos can be displayed in the same post. The company said in its announcement that it made the update so users don’t have to choose the “single best photo or video from an experience” to post.
“YES! Been wanting this forever. I’m tired of having my Instagram flooded by vacation pictures from others. ... This is much better all around.”
“Labial glue: the future of feminine hygiene. The copy is DREADFUL. Creative team? All male. Not actually satire.” Mensez, an idea for a vaginal glue for women to use while on their periods. A chiropractor in Kansas came up with and patented the idea for the product, but it does not exist yet. The idea was widely mocked on social media. “Gluing your labia shut during your period is a bad idea,” @DrJenGunter tweeted.

WEST ELM
@GHOSTINMARBLE tweeting about
“The Peggy Couch pay day has arrived.” @THEFEROCITY tweeting after furniture company West Elm confirmed to various news outlets Wednesday that it would refund customers who purchased its infamous Peggy sofa after July 2014. The $1,200 couch has long inspired angry feedback from customers on Instagram, Twitter and Yelp. West Elm removed the couch from its website after writer Anna Hezel recently published a piece titled “Why does this one couch from West Elm suck so much?” on theawl.com.

commenting at buzzfeed.com about Lt. B.J. Gruber of Marion, Ohio, who tutored a 10-year-old with her math homework after she messaged the police department on Facebook. Their exchange went viral after the girl’s mom shared it on Facebook.
“I love the WaPo, and subscribe, and want to love the new slogan. But it reads a little too much like the tagline for a movie.” @JSWATZ tweeting about The Washington Post’s new slogan — “Democracy Dies in Darkness” — which recently appeared on the news organization’s homepage. Some Twitter users poked fun at it by coming up with new phrases in the same font. “Cut my life into pieces. This is my last resort,” @flashboy shared, referencing a Papa Roach song.

mystery is solved, but another looms. You can use what you learned while working out the first one to get a handle on the second.
TODAY: The record highs of 78 at both Reagan National and BWI airports may be out of reach. But the warmth is still remarkable, with highs reaching the upper 60s to mid-70s. That means we might challenge the record high of 73 at Dulles. Partly cloudy skies linger tonight, with a slight chance of a shower.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You can turn fantasy in to reality, provided you share your desires with the right person. You know who that should be. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You may find yourself in something of a quandary as you try to decide between two options of equal value. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’ll want to come in from the cold — figuratively, at least. You need to feel safe and protected without shutting off your emotions.
