A city to cry in: D.C. strivers share secret sob spots and lack of social support structure, plus the whole East Coast high-strung/unfriendly vibe, plus pressure to do well at whatever our Extremely Important Jobs are,” was the earnest response that an online sage gave to the folks confessing their secret sobbing spots.

The corner of 14th and S streets in Northwest Washington is, on Sunday afternoons post-brunch, “the crying corner,” according to one post.

A resident of that craft cocktail corridor reports that he “routinely hear[s] people of all genders and orientations having a meltdown after six too many bottomless mimosas.”

Washington National Cathedral is among the many houses of worship cited as excellent crying venues.

“I am sadly speaking from experience: Churches are the best public places to privately cry,” one tear-jerker wrote.

“You may even get a stranger to pray about your stupid BS.”

DOMESTIC TOURISM IN D.C.

GETTY IMAGES/EXPRESS ILLUSTRATION

Mostly, it’s the young and ambitious strivers, the fired-up idealists, the aspiring disrupters who move to the nation’s capital. And once they get to D.C., they are looking for a special place. To cry.

You’ll find them on the Metro, on that single little tucked-away seat on the old train cars. On a Dupont Circle park bench. Anywhere in Rock Creek Park.

These are some of the places that the stressed-out, angry, sad and overwhelmed go to cry in Washington, according to one of the most entertaining, salty and emotional threads to pop up on Reddit in a while: “Best places to cry in DC.” Why all the tears?

“This is a young and anxious city. And tons of us are transplants, especially from suburban areas, meaning there’s a whole different environment

When you’re in a city that has more sharp elbows than soft shoulders, getting help with emotional issues isn’t always easy. And that Reddit user who explained the anxiety of young Washington nailed it in the next observation.

“I’ve seen plenty of people walking and crying. Or having anxiety attacks,” the writer said. “It’s also really difficult to find a therapist accepting patients here.”

Bingo. Nearly 75 percent of Americans who are looking for mental health care believe it’s inaccessible, according to a recent report from the National

Council for Behavioral Health.

And that lack of access spans the socioeconomic spectrum, including issues about coverage and cost, as we see in the District.

The person who first asked the online universe for help circled back five days later.

“Didn’t expect this post to go anywhere at all. Just stressed and the therapists I called didn’t call back . . . but we’re making it work. Everyone (mostly) has been so kind.

Thanks!!”

Judge sets release terms for Coast Guard officer

MONTGOMERY COUNTY

Coach put on leave amid probe of broom attack

Christopher Hasson faces weapon charges, terrorism accusation

Baltimore’s city servers hit by virus attack U.S. DISTRICT COURT VIA AP

MARYLAND A Coast Guard lieutenant accused of stockpiling firearms and drafting a hit list of prominent Democrats and journalists can be released from custody and supervised by relatives in Virginia while awaiting trial, a federal magistrate judge said Tuesday.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Charles Day stopped short of ordering 50-year-old Christopher Hasson’s immediate release after a hearing in Greenbelt, Md. The magistrate is giving prosecutors time to appeal his decision to a district court judge.

Day said Hasson must be subject to 24-hour home detention at one of two Virginia homes: either his mother-in-law’s rental home or a house owned by his father-inlaw. The magistrate also agreed to using global positioning equipment to monitor Hasson. Court officials in Virginia must inspect the two homes and set up the monitoring equipment before Hasson can be released.

Prosecutors have portrayed Hasson as a domestic terrorist and a racist extremist intent on carrying out killings. Hasson’s attorney says prosecutors haven’t filed terrorism-related charges since his Feb. 15 arrest because they haven’t found any evidence

CRITICAL SYSTEMS OK

Investigators found 15 guns and more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition at Christopher Hasson’s apartment in Silver Spring, prosecutors said.

to back up those claims.

Day said during a hearing last month that Hasson is entitled to be freed pending trial on firearms and drug charges.

Defense attorney Liz Oyer proposed several pretrial release options for Day to consider during Hasson’s detention hearing, the third since his arrest.

Prosecutors oppose Hasson’s release under any conditions.

Their appeal likely keeps Hasson detained pending a district court judge’s review of the matter.

“The Government continues to believe that the defendant poses a serious danger and must be detained pending trial,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Windom

wrote in a court filing.

Hasson is a self-described white nationalist who espoused extremist views for years and “intends to murder innocent civilians on a scale rarely seen in this country,” Windom wrote in a previous court filing.

Hasson has pleaded not guilty to charges of illegal possession of firearm silencers, possession of firearms by a drug addict and unlawful user, and possession of a controlled substance. Investigators found 15 guns, including seven rifles, and more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition at Hasson’s basement apartment in Silver Spring, prosecutors said.

Baltimore’s City Hall shut down many of its computer servers Tuesday after some kind of virus attack, but officials said automated public safety systems were still functioning. Lester Davis, a spokesman for Mayor Bernard “Jack” Young, said city technology employees were “working diligently to locate the source and extent of the infection.” It wasn’t immediately clear if any personal information had been compromised.

Critical systems such as the 911 network remained up and running. The virus came over a year after a ransomware attack hobbled Baltimore’s 911 dispatch system.

That March 2018 attack prompted a roughly 17-hour shutdown of automated emergency dispatching. (AP)

Bonus years? Just kidding.

POLITICS President Trump for months has griped, complained and tweeted about what he says is the unfair Russia “witch hunt” investigation that has consumed nearly half of his presidency.

Now, the president has floated a possible solution: two bonus years.

Trump over the weekend shared a tweet by Jerry Falwell Jr., president of Liberty University, in which Falwell complimented Trump for “no obstruction, no collusion” and a soaring economy, before adding, “Trump should have 2 yrs added to his 1st term as pay back for time stolen by this corrupt failed coup.”

White House officials and others close to the president said he was joking and is not serious about trying to increase his first four-year term by 50 percent — an extension that would violate the Constitution and has no historical precedent.

But Trump’s suggestion came as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., also raised concerns about the president potentially refusing to accept the legitimacy of a Democratic victory in the 2020 presidential election — saying it was important that Democrats win “big” to protect the country from such an outcome.

“We have to inoculate against that, we have to be prepared for that,” Pelosi told The New York Times.

President floats idea of getting two extra years to make up for lost time

President Trump has argued that the Mueller probe cost him two years.

The remarks underscore real anxiety within factions of the country that Trump — who repeatedly complained about a “rigged” election in 2016 — may decide to contest the legitimacy of the election in 2020 if he is defeated or otherwise argue for an extended time in office.

“Everything that he says is a trial balloon — even his, quote, jokes are trial balloons,” said Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a New York University professor who studies authoritarian rulers. “But if you look at what he jokes about, it’s always things like this — it’s the extension of his rights, it’s the infringement of liberties. And authoritarians are continually testing the boundaries to see what they can get away with, and

‘Case closed’ As far as Mitch McConnell is concerned, it’s “case closed” when it comes to investigating President Trump. In his most significant comments yet on the matter, the Senate Majority Leader on Tuesday accused Democrats of acting out of political spite by continuing to investigate Trump despite the Mueller probe’s ending with no charges against him. (EXPRESS)

everything he does is a challenge to Democrats to mount some response against him.”

Trump’s defenders say the

president is merely being provocative, expressing his real anger over the extent to which special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe has consumed his presidency. White House aides and other friends say they have not heard Trump privately discuss the possibility of an extended term — often an early warning sign he is seriously entertaining a controversial action.

Asked about Trump’s suggestion that he receive two more years, Sen. Lindsey O. Graham, R-S.C., chuckled and said, “I think y’all people are crazy.”

“When it comes to Trump, people need to dial it back a little bit,” said Graham.

More broadly, the idea that the special counsel investigation resulted in two “stolen” years of Trump’s presidency has already become a re-election argument for Trump and his allies.

On Sunday, Trump tweeted about his “tremendous success” in office, despite the fact that “they have stolen two years of my (our) Presidency (Collusion Delusion) that we will never be able to get back.”

And in a statement Monday, Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh wrote that Trump “has been hounded mercilessly for two solid years and still has racked up tremendous wins on behalf of the American people.”

“That he has succeeded in the face of unprecedented partisan attacks is absolutely an argument for his re-election,” Murtaugh said. ASHLEY PARKER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

MEASLES MEASURE

Germany could fine parents who skip vaccines

Germany’s health minister has proposed fining parents who don’t vaccinate their school-age kids against measles up to 2,500 euros, or $2,800. The fine is part of a draft bill Jens Spahn has submitted for debate as outbreaks of the highly contagious but easily preventable disease spread worldwide. The point, Spahn said, “is not to fine people. The goal is to ensure that people are immunized.” Germany has already seen 300 measles cases this year.

Asylum officers told to toughen up on migrants IMMIGRATION The Trump administration has sent new guidelines to U.S. asylum officers directing them to take a more skeptical and confrontational approach during interviews with migrants seeking refuge. It is the latest measure aimed at tightening the nation’s legal “loopholes” Homeland Security officials blame for a spike in border crossings.

According to internal documents and staff emails obtained Tuesday by The Washington Post, the asylum officers will more aggressively challenge applicants whose claims of persecution contain discrepancies, and they will need to provide detailed justifications before concluding an applicant has a well-founded fear of harm if deported to their home country.

The new guidelines are among the most significant steps the administration has taken to limit access to the country for foreigners seeking asylum, whose right to apply for humanitarian protection is protected by U.S. law and rooted in post-World War II international treaties granting refuge to those fleeing persecution.

The changes appear to signal the administration wants to turn away asylum seekers earlier in the legal process, aiming to cut down on the number of applicants who enter the court system and to deter others from attempting to cross into the United States to seek asylum.

The growth of meatless Plant-based burgers are becoming mainstream. Here’s how they compare to beef.

How do they taste?

HEALTH If you want to skip meat, a new era of options is here.

Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods are among the companies racing to tap into the massive U.S. market of meat eaters by more closely mimicking the taste of beef than the vegetarian patties of the past. Others are working to grow meat in labs.

So, are the plant-based patties better for you or for the planet?

Here’s what you might want to know before taking a bite.

Reviews generally say Beyond Meat and Impossible burgers taste similar to meat. Unlike with a steak, any discrepancies in taste between beef and the plantbased burgers may be masked by buns, cheese and toppings. Both Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods have also updated their recipes, and may keep doing so to make them even more like meat.

How much do they cost?

At a Whole Foods in New York, two Beyond Meat patties cost $5.99, roughly double the price of two ground beef patties. Impossible burgers aren’t yet available in grocery stores. But at a Bareburger restaurant in New York, it’s an extra $3 for either of the plant-based patties.

Are they healthier?

What’s in them?

Beyond Meat’s ingredients include pea protein and canola oil. Impossible Food’s patties

Are they better for the earth?

GETTY IMAGES

As with many questions about diet, it depends. For better or worse, patties from Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods can be nutritionally similar to beef.

Beyond Meat’s 4-ounce patty is listed at 270 calories, while Impossible Foods’ is listed at 240 calories. Ground beef’s nutritional profile can range, but a similarly sized patty with 80% lean meat has around 290 calories.

Protein content is about the same, while other nutrients vary.

Some may like that the plantbased patties have fiber, but dislike that they’re higher in sodium.

For overall diet, what matters more might be how the patties are served. At Umami Burger in New York, for example, a burger with two Impossible patties, cheese and fixings tops 1,000 calories.

“People are going to be fooling themselves into thinking these are not just better, but healthy,” said Yoni Freedhoff, an obesity expert at the University of Ottawa.

People also may not realize the saturated fat content can be similar to beef burgers, he said.

Fast-food chains join meatless burger craze In 2018, White Castle became the first major fast-food chain to put meatless burgers on its menu, serving the Impossible Slider, directly above, nationwide by the end of last year. Then, Carl’s Jr. and Burger King joined the veggie patty party. In January, Carl’s Jr. launched the Beyond Famous Star burger at more than 1,000 locations. And Burger King’s trial of the Impossible Whopper, top, at 59 restaurants in St. Louis went so well that it recently announced that it will be offered at all 7,200 of its U.S. locations by the end of the year. (EXPRESS)

have soy protein and coconut oil. Impossible says its patties have a flavor and hue similar to beef partly because of soy leghemoglobin, a protein the company makes by genetically modifying yeast.

The meat industry, meanwhile, is appealing to people who prefer simpler ingredient lists.

“A beef patty is one natural ingredient: beef,” says the North American Meat Institute, which represents meat makers.

Denver voted Tuesday on whether to become the first U.S. city to decriminalize “magic mushrooms”

Experts say reducing overall red meat consumption would be better for the planet. Beef is considered taxing on the environment because of the resources it takes to grow crops to feed cows. Cows also produce the greenhouse gas methane, mostly through burps.

What’s next?

On the horizon is meat grown in labs by culturing animal cells, but it will be some time before people can get a taste. Right now, the solutions used to help cells grow are expensive and limited since they’re mainly made for medical therapy purposes, said Bruce Friedrich, executive director of the Good Food Institute, which advocates for meat alternatives.

Still, the meat industry is watching and mobilizing to “protect beef nomenclature.”

Already, Beyond Meat’s debut as a public company may be confirming the meat industry’s concerns. CANDICE CHOI (AP)

Bland’s video of traffic stop in 2015 surfaces AUSTIN, TEXAS Cellphone video recorded by Sandra Bland, a black woman found dead in a Texas jail following a confrontational 2015 traffic stop, shows for the first time her perspective as a white state trooper draws his stun gun and points it at close range while ordering her out of her car.

The 39-second clip revealed by the Investigative Network, a nonprofit news organization in Texas, aired Monday night on Dallas television station WFAA. Bland was found hanging in her jail cell outside Houston three days after her arrest.

Her death, and dashcam video showing trooper Brian Encinia trying to pull the 28-year-old Chicago-area woman out of her vehicle, became flashpoints in the debate over the treatment of black people by police.

The clip of the July 2015 traffic stop near Prairie View A&M University shows Encinia opening Bland’s car door and drawing his stun gun as she tries to steady her phone’s camera. The flashlights on the stun gun flick on and Encinia yells, “Get out of the car! I will light you up. Get out!”

Cannon Lambert, an attorney for the Bland family who settled lawsuits against the state of Texas and the Waller County Jail that totaled nearly $2 million combined, said he never saw the video until it was recently shared by a news reporter. But the Texas Department of Public Safety disputed that claim. PAUL J. WEBER AND CLARICE SILBER (AP)

Myanmar frees jailed reporters YANGON, MYANMAR Two Reuters journalists whose reporting on the Myanmar military’s abuses of Rohingya Muslims got them imprisoned and drew the world’s attention to curbs on freedom of the press were freed Tuesday as part of a mass presidential pardon.

Wa Lone, 32, and Kyaw Soe Oo, 28, walked out of Yangon’s notorious Insein Prison at about 9:40 a.m. As they passed through the front gate, waving to the gathered crowd, they were mobbed like rock stars by fellow reporters who as professionals had covered their plight and as colleagues pushed for their release.

THEIN ZAW (AP)

Journalists were held over reporting on killing of Rohingya by military

Reuters journalists Wa Lone, left, and Kyaw Soe Oo wave as they walk out of Insein Prison after being released in Yangon, Myanmar, on Tuesday.

“I want to thank our friends and families who were trying for our freedom and also to those from all over the world who sympathized with us,” Wa Lone

said. “I am really excited to see my family and colleagues. I can’t wait to go to my newsroom.”

The two reporters were arrested in December 2017 as they

were working on a story about security forces involved in killing Rohingya and were accused of illegally possessing official documents, a violation of the colonial-era Official Secrets Act. At their trial, the two contended they were framed because of official displeasure over their work, but they were convicted last September and sentenced to seven years in prison.

The case drew global attention not only as a media freedom issue but also as an example of how democratic reforms in Myanmar have stalled under Nobel Peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi’s civilian government, which took power in 2016 with high hopes that it would usher in a new, more open era after decades of isolation under military rule.

Ga. abortion ban now law have been energized by the new conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court that includes President Trump appointees Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.

They are pushing abortion bans in an attack on the high court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, which legalized abortion nationwide until a fetus is developed enough to live outside a woman’s uterus.

Uber, Lyft drivers set to strike today

Getting an Uber or a Lyft may be nearly impossible today as drivers for both companies plan to strike in major U.S. cities to protest what they say are unfair wages and poor working conditions. Thousands of drivers are expected to shut off their apps and join rallies outside the companies’ offices. The move comes as Uber prepares for an initial public offering this week, just weeks after Lyft hit the public market.

Comedy of errors: Injuries, bad luck plague Nationals When the morning begins with the singular hope that the initial results of Yan Gomes’ MRI exam mean that he’ll be able to play Tuesday night in Milwaukee — because if he can’t, who the heck will hit cleanup? — well, then, the Major League Baseball team in question has crossed the threshold into that space where you can either laugh or cry, but you must pick one. When there is concern that Andrew Stevenson can’t answer the bell for the fifth inning, the absurd portion of the season is in full swing.

Never, in the Nationals’ 15 seasons of existence, has it felt so late so early. The you’ve-gotto-be-kidding element to all the injuries has some very real ramifications for what this season is (troubling) and what it can become (an unmitigated disaster).

Before the completely-indisarray Nats faced the ascendant Brewers on Tuesday night, exactly one National

League team had a worse record than Washington: the Marlins. This is dire territory.

The injuries and the circumstances around them are important. Here, though, is why they matter not just in the standings: Fielding a lineup without your opening day Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 5 hitters — and without your eighth-inning pitcher — makes it nearly impossible to evaluate the leadership in place.

Sift through the wreckage, and there’s a real urge to blame anyone for all the chaos. Can’t we strangle someone for the pitch that broke Trea Turner’s finger while he attempted to bunt or the one that plunked Anthony Rendon in the elbow, costing him 2 ½ weeks before he was activated Tuesday?

“That’s part of the game,” General Manager Mike Rizzo said late last week, back when it seemed like there was no way to know they’d get bleaker.

“Those things happen. You can’t attribute those injuries to the medical staff or the training staff or the baseball staff or anything else.

WASHINGTON POST AND GETTY IMAGES

ATLANTA Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp on Tuesday signed into law one of the nation’s most restrictive abortion laws, a measure that bans the procedure once a fetal heartbeat is detected, which can be as early as six weeks — before many women know they are pregnant.

Kemp, a Republican, said he approved the bill “to ensure that all Georgians have the

opportunity to live, grow, learn and prosper in our great state.”

T he sig n i ng caps weeks of tenKemp sion and protests at the state Capitol and begins what could be a lengthy and costly legal battle over the law’s constitutionality. But a legal showdown is exactly what supporters want.

“We will not back down,” Kemp said. “We will always continue to fight for life.”

DERBY WINNER

The Nationals reinstated third baseman Anthony Rendon, top left, from the injury list Tuesday, but the return dates for sluggers Trea Turner, top right, Ryan Zimmerman, bottom right, and Juan Soto remain unclear.

“We have to find ways of winning games without those guys. It makes it much more difficult. You’ve got to play really good, clean, almost perfect baseball, and you’re missing your second, third, fourth and fifth hitters in the lineup at the start of the season.”

How prescient. The Nats made four errors in Monday’s 5-3 loss to the Brewers and looked comical doing it. Carter Kieboom, the shortstop prospect on which the Nats are so high, committed his fourth in just 10 games in the field.

He was optioned to Triple-A Fresno on Tuesday.

Just when you start to get

fired up about how badly they’re playing, you remember so many of the guys making so many of these mistakes aren’t supposed to be out there.

The wait to get Rendon back ended Tuesday. The wait for Turner could be long. Ryan Zimmerman and his plantar fasciitis — who knows? Juan Soto and his 20-year-old bad back? Trevor Rosenthal? Matt Adams?

Is it September … already?

“We’re still optimistic,” Rizzo said at the end of last week’s homestand.

Kentucky Derby winner Country House won’t run in the Preakness.

Assistant trainer Riley Mott confirmed Tuesday that the long shot winner of horse racing’s biggest event is no longer being considered for the second jewel of the Triple Crown. Country House was elevated to the winner’s circle at the Kentucky Derby after Maximum Security was disqualified for impeding other horses.

Country House’s absence at the May 18 Preakness means there is no chance at a third Triple Crown winner in five years. Trainer Bill Mott said the horse has a cough and was “acting like he’s going to get sick.” Country House joins Maximum Security in skipping the Preakness. (AP)

Rookie defender Pines out for a month with MCL sprain

Hamlin sickened at Dover by carbon monoxide fumes

Liverpool stuns Barcelona in Champions League semis

D.C. United defender Donovan Pines will be sidelined about a month with a sprained knee ligament. An MRI exam revealed a Grade 2 sprain to his MCL, coach Ben Olsen said Tuesday. Pines, a rookie who played at Maryland, has started four of the past five games.

He is expected to miss six MLS matches. The 6-foot-5 Pines was injured during the 3-1 victory over the Columbus Crew on Saturday. He played all 90 minutes and seemed fine afterward. Later, discomfort led to the discovery of the ligament issue. He is the fourth defender to be injured since the start of the season. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Denny Hamlin suffered from nausea and double vision from carbon monoxide that seeped into his Toyota at the end of the NASCAR race at Dover. Hamlin felt ill after Monday’s race and was attended to by medical staff on pit road after he finished 21st. Hamlin was treated and released from the NASCAR medical care center. The illness stemmed from when debris struck Hamlin’s No. 11 Toyota during the race and knocked out the right rear crush panel, allowing fumes into the car. Hamlin said he was feeling fine on Tuesday and was ready to race again this weekend at Kansas Speedway. (AP)

Liverpool delivered the greatest in a long line of famous comebacks to reach the Champions League final on Tuesday, beating Lionel Messi’s Barcelona 4-0 to overturn a three-goal deficit from the first leg. Divock Origi scored twice, bookending two goals by halftime substitute Georginio Wijnaldum early in the second half, to send Liverpool into its second straight final. The comeback was all the more unlikely given that Liverpool was without two of its first-choice forward line, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino. For Barcelona, it was the second year in a row that it let a three-goal lead slip, (AP)

Vampire Weekend frontman Ezra Koenig wonders why the photographer followed him into the bathroom.

CRITIC’S NOTEBOOK

MONIKA MOGI

Big Thief dives into ambiguity

A lifeless resurrection

Down a member, Vampire Weekend struggles to re-create the band’s original sound ALBUM REVIEW Not to damn this band to the ninth circle of faint praise, but Vampire Weekend has always been the epitome of neato.

When the New York quartet first colonized the greater indie blog-realm back in 2007, they weren’t posing as the brave saviors of rock-and-roll. They were just being their charismatic, affable, clever, Columbia-educated, “Graceland”-loving, boat-shoewearing selves. They were being honest. And the songs? They were light, bright, smart and as tidy as they come. It was as if these little tyros were trying to ramp up our skepticism so their melodies could melt it all away.

Max-neato.

Unfortunately, the band’s cheerily apocalyptic fourth album, “Father of the Bride,” arrived Friday after a six-year absence and the exit of a band

56

member — Rostam Batmanglij, the guitarist and producer who originally figured out how to “Father overload a Vam- of the Bride” Vampire Weekend pire Weekend song with sonic details that somehow made everything feel airy.

Without Batmanglij at the controls, frontman Ezra Koenig’s songs now seem to only sprawl and sink. Or maybe we should chalk that up to the fact that Vampire Weekend has since relocated from New York (where you hustle down sidewalks with pep in your step) to Los Angeles (where you slog through traffic in the golden sunshine). Either way, “Father of the Bride” sounds like a tight band trying to get loose — or really, a prim band acting messy.

Koenig’s approach hasn’t

changed all that much, just his execution. So much of Vampire Weekend’s breakout music owed big debts to Paul Simon’s “Graceland” and, 12 years later, Koenig has seemingly returned to the same wellspring of inspiration: the cassette collection stowed away in the glove compartment of his parents’ Saab. Listen to how the saggy groove of “Stranger” runs parallel to that Jimmy Buffett song about volcanoes. Or how the jangle-clap of “Sympathy” pantomimes the Gipsy Kings.

And while there’s a strange filial piety to be felt in these gestures, there isn’t a lot else.

In other songs, Koenig funnels his accurately doomy worldview through cute melodies, singing about “this life and all its suffering” and how “hate is always waiting at the gate.” At one point he asks, “What’s the point of human beings?” On the album’s lead

single, “Harmony Hall,” Koenig presents his desperation — “I don’t wanna live like this, but I don’t wanna die” — with some tambourine shimmy and a wink.

Is this song supposed to sound like a Target ad? As long as we live in a capitalist system, Warholian lulz will never go out of style — but when the entire world already sounds like a commercial, there isn’t much reason to listen to this album more than once.

If you believe in rock-and-roll as a game of eternal returns, “Father of the Bride” might feel like an attempt to replicate Fleetwood Mac’s 1987 opus, “Tango in the Night.” Both albums capture a pop-minded rock group floating beyond an era of music it helped define, simultaneously exuding hyper-presence and obsolescence, a last gasp that sounds more like a contented sigh.

Since the band’s debut album in 2016, Big Thief has pulled audiences in, captured by the voice of singer Adrianne Lenker, below, and the poetic lyrics the band pairs with her delicate tone.

Her voice often comes across as angelic, but on “U.F.O.F.,” the band’s album released Friday, it takes a turn.

This record shows the underbelly of folk — it is vulnerable, obscure and imperfect in a way that feels transparent and raw. Album opener “Contact” is hypnotic and dreamlike.

“Cattails,” meanwhile, plays more fully to the band’s folk side, with foot-tapping percussion and a twangy guitar.

Though the album does not make itself easy to understand, there is comfort in the ambiguity.

Chappelle to receive Mark Twain Prize The Kennedy Center will honor the lauded stand-up in October

(877) 432-1669 www.togetherprogram.org

TOGETHER is a project of Virginia Tech and the University of Maryland, College Park. Funding for this Project was provided by the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Grant: # 90FM0077-04-00.

Dave Chappelle is probably famous enough that he doesn’t need to wear that jacket with a name tag on it anymore.

CHRISTOPHER POLK (GETTY IMAGES FOR NARAS)

COMEDY Dave Chappelle, among the most lauded and oft-quoted stand-up comedians of his generation, will receive comedy’s most prestigious accolade: the Kennedy Center’s Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.

Chappelle, 45, who will be honored at a star-studded gala on Oct. 27, joins the ranks of past recipients, including Julia LouisDreyfus, David Letterman and Eddie Murphy. The performance gala will be televised Jan. 6 on PBS stations.

“Dave is the embodiment of Mark Twain’s observation that ‘against the assault of humor, nothing can stand,’ ” Kennedy Center President Deborah F. Rutter said in a statement. “For three decades, Dave has challenged us to see hot-button issues from his entirely original yet relatable perspective.”

Known for his incisive, offkilter and sometimes controversial approach to joking about race, family and relationships, Chappelle has influenced a generation of younger comedians since becoming a national sensation with “Chappelle’s Show,” his early-2000s sketch comedy

Couples may receive up to $160 for attendance and completion of surveys to evaluate the program.

series on Comedy Central. His subsequent sudden retreat from the public eye added a layer of mystique, but Chappelle has been actively performing stand-up since 2013 and has since won two Grammys and an Emmy.

The son of academics, Chappelle grew up in Silver Spring and began performing standup when he was a 14-year-old student at D.C.’s Duke Ellington School of the Arts.

In 2016, Chappelle signed a $60 million Netflix deal for several stand-up specials, which included sets he had already filmed. “The Age of Spin & Deep in the Heart of Texas” and “Equanimity & the Bird Revelation,” released in 2017, made his comedy accessible

to millions once again. Many fans welcomed his return, while some of the material, particularly about transgender people, drew criticism.

The pair of specials won him two Grammys for best comedy album. Chappelle also hosted “Saturday Night Live” days after Donald Trump’s surprising win in the 2016 presidential election.

He won an Emmy for the episode, which he then donated to his alma mater, Duke Ellington.

The Kennedy Center’s Rutter said, “Dave is a hometown hero here in Washington, D.C., where he grew up. We’re so looking forward to welcoming him back home.” ELAHE IZADI
