— MICH A EL A MIR W ILLI A M S, TESTIFYING WEDNESDAY ON CONRAD MURRAY’S CALL TO HIM ABOUT MICHAEL JACKSON.

AL SEIB/AP

The last days of Michael Jackson’s life were filled with the adulation of fans, a rehearsal performance onlookers described as amazing and intense preparations for his big comeback in London.

But things took a tragic turn, according to Michael Amir Williams, who testified Wednesday in the trial of the doctor charged with involuntary manslaughter in the superstar’s death.

Williams, who had gone with him to the rehearsal and had dropped Jackson at home, said he got a frantic call the next day from Jackson’s doctor, Conrad Murray.

“He said, ‘Get here right away. Mr. Jackson had a bad reaction.’ He

Michael Amir Williams, Michael Jackson’s former personal assistant, testifies Wednesday during the second day of Conrad Murray’s involuntary manslaughter trial.

said, ‘Get someone up here right away,’” Williams told the jury.

A securit y guard, Faheem Muhammad, testified that he arrived at Jackson’s bedroom to

find Murray sweating and nervous, leaning over Jackson and trying to revive him. He said that Jackson’s two older children, Paris and Prince, were in shock, and that

Paris fell to the ground, curled up and weeping.

Moments later, Muhammad said, he heard Murray ask whether anyone knew CPR. The testimony on the second day of the trial helped shed light on what Murray did and didn’t do after he found Jackson unconscious in June 2009. Murray, 58, has pleaded not guilty. If convicted, he could face up to four years in prison and would have to relinquish his medical license. (AP)

$1,000 OFF INSTANTLY REBATE ENDS 10/1/2011

Amazon fired the first significant shot at Apple’s tablet dominance, announcing its own tablet and new versions of its popular Kindle reader at bargain-basement prices that could be a draw for cash-strapped consumers.

The Seattle retailer on Wednesday announced upgrades to the Kindle that will start at $79 for a basic e-reader, $100 for an e-reader with a touch screen and a third one priced at $149 that offers a 3G wireless connection with no monthly charges.

Amazon chief executive Jeff Bezos also unveiled the Kindle Fire, a full-fledged tablet for $199, less than half the price of Apple’s cheapest version of the iPad, now at $499. “We’re building premium products at non-premium prices,” Bezos said at the company’s announcement in New York.

Amazon’s audacious move comes as companies as diverse as

Facebook, Wal-Mart, Verizon and Google ferociously battle to become the gateway for consumers to get their movies, TV, music and news.

In this race for eyeballs, these companies are overlapping in ways they never had before and are rapidly transforming the gadgets that consumers use. Facebook is trying to become a platform for TV and movies. Wal-Mart is also streaming videos like Netflix.

Tablets are key to delivering more multimedia content. They are expected to become a major segment in the consumer electronics market,

Federal health officials say an outbreak of listeria in cantaloupe is expected to cause more illnesses and may lead to more deaths in coming weeks.

So far, the outbreak has caused at least 72 illnesses, including as many as 16 deaths, in 18 states.

The heads of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday that consumers who have cantaloupes produced by Jensen Farms in Colorado should throw them out. If they are not sure where the fruit is from, they shouldn’t eat it. The company shipped the fruit to 25 states.

Pregnant women, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems are especially susceptible. (AP)

Symptoms of listeria illness can include fever, muscle aches, vomiting and diarrhea. If antibiotics are taken early, the infection can be cured. (AP)

8hkii[bi Until recently, the idea that the 27-nation European Union might disintegrate would have been unthinkable, for the Continent’s unification was considered a rousing diplomatic success.

But the EU’s two most cherished achievements — a common currency and borderless travel — are under threat. And the possibility that the experiment that is the EU might not survive in its present form has entered the debate.

Polish Finance Minister Jacek Rostowski has raised the prospect that the EU might split apart. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said if the euro failed, so would Europe.

British chancellor George Osborne has said only weeks remain to save the euro.

These officials are not predicting the EU’s demise, but it is a measure of the gravity of situation that they are discussing it at all.

The challenge is how to manage a currency for 17 countries, and a borderless travel area for 25, without strong central governance.

;khef[ German Chancellor Angela Merkel, below, hinted the second Greek bailout package might have to be renegotiated amid increasing market speculation Wednesday that European leaders want to force private holders of Greek bonds to take bigger losses. Merkel didn't rule out altering the terms to the $148 billion package, saying the decision must be based on how Greece's debt inspectors, the so-called troika, judge Athens' austerity efforts. The troika — the IMF, ECB and European Commission —return Thursday to Athens for a fact-finding mission, after which the eurozone’s financial ministers will meet in October.

In Athens, a second 24-hour public transportation strike left commuters struggling to reach work without buses, subway services, taxis or trams on Wednesday. Greeks have been outraged by new austerity measures — including a new property tax passed Tuesday, and pension cuts — after more than a year of spending cuts and tax hikes.

France proudly presented next year’s budget on Wednesday as the first to cut spending since World War II, as it tries to convince investors that it will rein in its debt. But economists said the cuts in the 2012 budget are not substantial enough to reduce the country’s debt load. France hasn’t balanced its budget in three decades. (AP)

Decisions must be approved unanimously, meaning a single country can block action. Such a constraint has led the EU to react more slowly and less decisively to the crisis than markets would have liked, exacerbating the situation.

The EU was created out of the ashes of World War II: Its initial goal was to use economic integration to prevent Europe from going to war with itself again. By that measure it has succeeded — and for that reason, some fear its demise.

But Jose Manuel Barroso, the president of the European Commission, said Wednesday he was confident that Europe would summon the political will to survive.

“I tell you, yes, it is possible to get out of this crisis,” he said. “Not only is it possible, it’s necessary.”

Libya’s new rulers believe Moammar Gadhafi may be hiding in the southern desert under the protection of ethnic Tuareg fighters, while two of his sons are holed up in cities besieged by revolutionary forces elsewhere in the nation, officials said Wednesday.

“It’s a very large bit of land to

cover,” a Libyan military official said. “We don’t have the people to cover it all, and [Gadhafi] could move around quite freely.”

Anti-Gadhafi forces overtook Tripoli and much of the country last month, but the longtime ruler and his family have been hiding as fighting continues in Gadhafi’s hometown of Sirte, Bani Walid and the southern city of Sabha.

Col. Ahmed Bani, the military spokesman for the National Transitional Council, confirmed that Gadhafi’s son Seif al-Islam is in Bani Walid and another son, Muatassim, is in Sirte.

Though Bani gave no evidence, it was the first official confirmation that the revolutionaries believe they know the location of the two sons since the family fled. (AP)

The monthly average of armed clashes, roadside bombings and other violence in Afghanistan is running 39 percent ahead of last year’s figure, U.N. reported Wednesday, with more complex suicide operations involving multiple bombers and gunmen.

The statistics show that the intensity of the nearly decade-old war is growing, not abating, as the U.S. and other nations start to withdraw forces, with a goal of pulling all combat troops out by the end of 2014. The Taliban’s resilience raises concerns about whether the Afghan government and its Western allies have a grip on security and whether the Afghans can secure the nation by themselves.

NATO says it has made progress in taming the Taliban insurgency, but the Taliban have hit back with several high-profile attacks in the capital and assassinations.

In its quar terly repor t on

C[Wdm^_b[ $$$ On Wednesday, three international service members were killed in a roadside bombing in eastern Afghanistan, the U.S.-led coalition said. So far this year, 124 international troops have been killed in Afghanistan. Also Wednesday, gunmen killed eight Afghan policemen during an ambush at a checkpoint near Lashkar Gah, the capital of Helmand province in the south. (AP)

Afghanistan, the U.N. said that as of the end of August, the average monthly number of incidents stood at 2,108, up 39 percent over the same period a year earlier. The figures include insurgent attacks and assaults led by NATO and Afghan forces.

The U.S.-led coalition said it disputes the U.N. figures and planned to release its own statistics related to overall violence trends in Afghanistan on Thursday. (AP)

$93 million; Virginia Railway Express; and bus systems in Arlington and Loudoun counties and Alexandria and Fairfax. Since the fiscal year began July 1, the department has withheld $20 million.

“If this isn’t resolved, it will mean jurisdictions won’t have money to pay their bills,’’ said Jeff McKay, an alternate member of Metro’s board and a mem-

ber of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. “They’ll either have to stop services they’re providing or they’re going to have to find another source of funding.”

Local jurisdictions and transit agencies, including NVTC, were asked to sign a revised annual contract with Virginia that would allow the state to have a seat on some of their boards. Metro board members

First Lady to Chair ’12 Cherry Blossom Festival

A team of engineers make their way down the Washington Monument Wednesday as part of their inspection of the quake-damaged landmark, which is closed indefinitely.

High Drama at Closed Monument Crews rappel down structure to assess earthquake’s damage MWi^_d]jed In what looked like a scene from a Hollywood action movie, an elite team of professionals rappelled down the Washington Monument Wednesday — not to carry out a covert mission, but to look for damage done to the 555-foot-tall marble obelisk by last month’s earthquake.

As tourists squinted at the structure, two men and two women climbed from a hatch and observation windows at the top of the monument and slowly began lowering

themselves with ropes and harnesses down its pyramid-shaped cap, where a large, inch-wide crack was located and where they expected to find the most damage.

From the ground, their movements appeared methodical and deliberate, but it was still enough to make family members and gawkers nervous. “This doesn’t make me feel very good right now,” said Deb Blanchard, whose brother Erik Sohn was one of those rappelling down the monument.

Engineers said that the 1884 landmark is structurally sound but that they need to catalog every defect so they can determine how long it will take to repair it and reopen it to the public.

Jeebi J_c[ During the daredevil inspection of the Washington Monument, which is expected to last several days, the intrepid climbers will work their way up and down the sides of the entire monument, snap photos with a digital camera and tap the stones with a soft mallet, listening for indications of damage. They have masonry tools to remove loose stone or mortar. Each is also carrying a two-way radio and an iPad loaded with data from the 1999 restoration of the monument. (AP)

To carry that out, they called in a “difficult access team” of specialists certified in both architectur-

al engineering and climbing. The team was supervised by a park ranger with extensive mountaineering experience in Denali National Park in Alaska, home to North America’s highest peak.

National Park Service officials hope to announce a timetable by mid-October for repairing and reopening the monument. The monument sustained numerous cracks during a magnitude-5.8 quake last month, and it has been closed to visitors ever since.

Daylight can be seen through some of the cracks, the largest of which is 4 feet long and an inch wide. Inside the obelisk, pieces of stone and other debris rained down during the quake. (AP)

First lady Michelle Obama will be the honorary chair of the National Cherry Blossom festival next year as the event celebrates its centennial, festival officials announced Wednesday. Festival chair Diana Mayhew also announced that the two-week festival is being expanded to five weeks to mark the 100th anniversary of the planting of the trees in 1912.

Prime Time For Christie GOP clamor is increasing for the N.J. governor to join the 2012 race 7dWboi_i It was about this time five years ago when political strategist David Axelrod sat down and wrote a memo to thenSen. Barack Obama, who was considering whether to run for president after months of saying he would not.

“History is replete with potential candidates for presidency who waited too long rather than examples of people who ran too soon. ... You will never be hotter than you are right now. ... In short, there are many reasons to believe that if you are ever to run for presidency this is the time.”

Those words could easily be included in a memo that one of Chris Christie’s advisers might send to the New Jersey governor, for many of the elements that led Axelrod to encourage Obama’s run apply to Christie now.

Christie’s blunt style has captured the imaginations of many Republicans, as Obama’s hope and change message stirred Democrats then. He is a fresh face in a party that is in transition and looking for something more. He is being encouraged to run by ordinary citizens, wealthy fundraisers and party leaders who don’t want to let an opportunity for victory in 2012 slip away.

After persistent economic problems and a breakdown in Washington, the perceptions of Obama have changed, which is why he is vulnerable in 2012.

To some Republicans, no one offers a more distinctive alternative to Obama’s style of leadership than Christie.

GOP challengers to Obama will make the argument that both different policies and a different kind of leadership are needed to get the country mov-

?d j^[ Ifejb_]^j

H[WZo je Hkd5 Chris Christie exudes self-confidence, but he has shown some humility in at least one area: whether he is ready to be president. He has expressed misgivings about whether he could really do the job as he thinks it should be done. If he is reconsidering whether to run in 2012, the most important question he will have to answer is not whether he can win the election, but whether he is ready: Does he believe that, if he were to win, he could effectively lead a country in the throes of serious economic problems and a partisan environment in Washington and nationally that has made governing more and more difficult? That is a deeply personal question, and only Christie can answer it. (T WP)

9^h_ij_[Êi 7bbkh[ The appeal of Chris Christie, according to Republicans, is twofold. In a state with a legislature controlled by Democrats, Christie, who was elected in 2009, has pushed through a series of conservative ideas to balance New Jersey’s budget: capping increases on property taxes, reducing retirement benefits for teachers and other public employees and not raising taxes.

But what Republicans love even more is Christie’s mix of humor, bluntness and confrontation when he appears in public.

“He clearly does his homework and has a mastery of the issues,” said Pete Wehner, a former top adviser to President George W. Bush. “Governor Christie also comes across as blunt, no-nonsense, tough but decent.”

In his year and a half in office, Christie has turned his townhall meetings into memorable moments that Republicans around the country have watched on YouTube.

Last year, Christie confronted a heckler by declaring, “It’s people who raise their voices and scream and yell like you who are dividing this country.” In another appearance, when a public school teacher in New Jersey complained to Christie about his proposals to limit increases in teachers’ pay, he replied, “Teachers go into it knowing what the pay scale is.”

Christie then told the woman she could stop teaching if the pay was not enough.

“He has a tremendous way of communicating that makes conservatives crazy motivated,” said Curt Anderson, a longtime GOP strategist. He added, “He is not politically correct. Political consultants would say you can’t argue in public with a teacher. ... Christie just throws caution to the wind.” (TWP)

In New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, many Republicans see a fresh face and a chance to win in 2012.

ing, which was part of Christie’s goal when he spoke Tuesday at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.

He belittled Obama as a “bystander in the Oval Office” and a chief executive who lacks the courage to lead.

He sought to portray himself as Mr. Take Charge. There is a simple rule for effective governance, he said: “When there is a problem, you fix it. That is the job you have been sent to do, and you cannot wait for someone else to do it for you.”

If Americans decide they want a replacement for Obama, Christie’s advocates will argue who better than someone willing to shake up the system, to get in the face of opponents or of slow-moving legislators or even the voters? Someone, in other words, determined to get results.

It is easy to imagine someone around Christie telling him today: You are uniquely suited for these times. That is the essential case for running, and he might not get another moment like this. DAN BAL Z (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Most Valuable Addition CW`eh B[W]k[ IeYY[h Cast away by two teams within two months, Dwayne De Rosario didn’t exactly get his Most Valuable Player campaign off to the most conventional of starts.

First traded by Toronto to New York in April, and then by New York to D.C. United in June, De Rosario has done nothing but produce since his arrival in Washington. In the process, the veteran playmaker is building a pretty strong case to be Major League Soccer’s MVP. His most recent performance, in which he scored the quickest hat trick in league history in a must-win game for D.C., is the latest piece of compelling evidence.

. F$C$ Thursday | ESPN2

“He’s my most valuable player right now,” an admittedly biased D.C. coach Ben Olsen said. “This is what he does, and this is why we wanted him. He’s been exceptional, and the guys have jumped on his back as well and rode the wave.

“The great thing about Dwayne is that he’ll forget about this and move on and try and do it again.”

De Rosario’s transcendent showing against Real Salt Lake Saturday night will be tough to duplicate.

In the opening 31 minutes — and in a span of 18 minutes — De Rosario split Salt Lake’s defense with a pinpoint diagonal through ball to set up Andy Najar for a breakaway goal and then scored three highlight-reel goals of his own — a well-timed diving header, a curling shot from distance and a powerful 35-yard free kick — to give

Dwayne de Rosario has been among the league’s best since joining D.C. United

United a 4-0 lead.

“It was pretty amazing, and there were some great goals too,” said Real Salt Lake midfielder Kyle Beckerman, a Crofton, Md., native who is also in contention for league MVP. “We didn’t know what hit us. We tip our hat to him.”

No professional player in any major sport has played for three teams in one season and won an MVP award in that year, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. But De Rosario is giving the voters plenty to think about, especially as he carries United to the brink of the postseason.

De Rosario has accumulated a league-leading 13 goals and 11 assists in 28 games this season; 10 of those goals and six of those assists came in 13 games with D.C. Though the club has an option on his contract for next season, questions will persist about whether De Rosario is deserving of a high-money Designated Player deal — a desire of his for the past few years.

If Olsen has his way, a resolution should come quickly on the contract.

“We’ll keep him around,” a confident, smirking Olsen said. “I talked to [United] owner Will Chang. He’s not going anywhere.” AVI CREDITOR

7 Bej ed j^[ B_d[ \eh Kd_j[Z Despite Dwayne De Rosario’s heroics on Saturday, all will be for naught if United can’t capitalize on the momentum in its Eastern Conference battle at Philadelphia on Thursday (8 p.m., ESPN2). Both teams are among six that are within four points of each other for first place in the conference standings, and D.C. could leapfrog the Union by taking all three points. Conversely, a loss would seriously damage the team’s playoff hopes, considering the tightness of the standings. The circumstances for Sunday’s match at Columbus, another conference contender, are no different. Consistency has been a problem for D.C., which is seeking its first consecutive league wins since June 2009. “It’s been up-and-down, and it’s a little bit of who we are right now. But at some point that’s got to change, and hopefully it’s this week,” D.C. coach Ben Olsen said. D.C. and Philadelphia played to a 2-2 draw in their other meeting this season, and Union twice battled back from one-goal deficits to earn the draw at RFK Stadium on July 2 — a day that also marked De Rosario’s D.C. debut.

Hall Backs Off His Blitz Criticism Redskins star says he was ‘overzealous’ after loss to Cowboys DeAngelo Hall says he “might have been a little overzealous” when he unleashed profane remarks targeting the coaching staff, and teammates rallied around the Pro Bowl cornerback Wednesday as the Redskins sought to defuse their first internal uproar of the season.

Hall stood at the podium for about 10 minutes to explain his oneminute spew in the locker room after the 18-16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night. “I might have been a little overzealous. You guys know me — I’m passionate about football,” Hall said.

Hall was the victim on a 30-yard completion from Tony Romo to Dez Bryant that converted a thirdand-21 during Dallas’ game-winning drive. Afterward, Hall faulted defensive coordinator Jim Haslett for calling yet another all-out blitz on the play, saying it doesn’t take a “rocket scientist to figure it out

DeAngelo Hall’s mini-tantrum runs counter to the new culture of order and discipline the Redskins are trying to establish in the second year under Mike Shanahan. Hall raised some eyebrows last week when he spoke about targeting Tony Romo’s injured ribs, but this is the first incident that threatened to rock the team boat. But teammates were quick to stand up for Hall. “I think this reaction was totally different than stuff in the past,” said linebacker London Fletcher, who cocaptains the defense with Hall. (AP)

after a while.” He was also called for a face-mark penalty, a flag he still disputes.

Hall, who has been outspoken and temperamental throughout his career, said he couldn’t sleep after the loss, the Redskins’ first of the season. The team plane didn’t arrive back in Washington until about 4:30 a.m., and he said he was at Redskins Park by 8 a.m. to watch the film.

Hall met with coach Mike Shanahan and Haslett to review the play. The conclusion: There were several players that could’ve performed better.

“After sitting down and hearing his reasoning behind it, if I’m on ‘Madden’ I probably would have did the same thing,” Hall said, “probably try to get the ball out of the guy’s hands as quick as possible, man. ... I definitely understood where he was coming from.” (AP)

The Ozzie era has begun for the Florida Marlins.

Hours before the final game in the stadium they’re leaving, the Marlins formally introduced Ozzie Guillen as their manager for 2012.

“We’re very excited,” Guillen said at a stadium news conference Wednesday. “It’s a big, big step in my career, a new chapter. Hopefully I can bring energy, flavor and enthusiasm, but the most important

thing is a winning team.”

The announcement carried little suspense. Guillen’s website leaked the news late Monday that he had agreed to become the Marlins’ manager, and he tweeted Tuesday that he was in Miami and “ready to go.”

The Marlins are staggering to a last-place finish in the NL East.

With the team moving to a new ballpark and making a push to become a contender, owner Jeffrey Loria wanted an experienced manager. (AP)

Calling themselves the Guerrilla Girls, the masked art avengers pasted darkly funny works of street art across the city, calling out sexism and racism in galleries and museums. A quarter-century later, the Girls are going strong with kamikaze ad campaigns all over the world. In conjunction with the National Museum of Women in the Arts’ retrospective “The Guerrilla Girls Talk Back” (on view through Sunday), founding member Kathe Kollwitz reflected on a career of art activism behind a rubber mask.

Why has humor been so important in the Guerrilla Girls’ work?

You did a similar piece for a 2007 project with The Washington Post, “Horror on the National Mall.”

The numbers were just dire. The National Gallery of Art was 98 percent male, 99.9 percent white.

Humor helps you sneak in under the radar and change people’s minds — just look at Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. Our strategy from the start was to prove our case, to show how bad it was [in the art world for women]. We present facts in an outrageous way, with a little fake fur.

How bad was it, exactly?

We did one of our most well-known posters, “Do Women Have to Be Naked to Get Into the Met?,” for the first time in 1989. We went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and counted the naked females in the paintings versus the women artists. Five percent of the artists were women, but 85 percent of the nudes were. Women’s bodies are sought after; women artists, not so much.

“On the one hand, my task was typical of building a character. It was to find Fela’s voice, the way he uses his hands, his eyes, his posture, the way he talks to his band and to the audience,” Ngaujah says.

“On the other hand, what was more important was finding the links between Fela’s psyche, the text and the objectives the show was trying to meet in its storytelling.

“Fela is not a perfect kind of person,” Ngaujah continues. “He also had contradictions to him. To me, he represents the complexity of living in our modern world.”

FehjhW_j e\ W Fehj_ed e\ W CWd J^[Wj[h Portraying the title character in the Tony Award-winning musical “Fela!” is a daunting task, even for 25-year theater veteran Sahr Ngaujah.

In the 2½ hours of the show, which runs through Oct. 9 at Shakespeare Theatre Company’s Sidney Harmon Hall, Ngaujah plays Fela Anikulapo Kuti, the Nigerian inventor of Afrobeat, a dance-happy blend of jazz, funk and West Afri-

can rhythms. He also plays Fela the political activist, Fela the potsmoker, Fela the comedian and Fela the man who married 27 women in one day.

“And that’s just the Fela we’re introducing. We didn’t talk about the fact that he died of AIDS. We didn’t go that deep into his whole presidential bid. It’s a musical,” Ngaujah says. “Still, we weren’t trying to make a show just to make people dance and sing. We wanted to inspire people to look deeper [into Fela’s history] for themselves.”

The show, directed and choreographed by Bill T. Jones, has big names behind it: producers Jay-Z, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith.

Film, dance, music, and theater collide in this tribute to pioneer filmmaker Norman McLaren. Through the use of advanced projection technology, directors Michel Lemieux and Victor Pilon bring McLaren’s iconic masterpieces to life, filling the stage with holographic characters interacting with dancer/choreographer Peter Trosztmer in a dramatic homage to McLaren’s great modernity, humanism, and genius.

Fela is at a nightclub on his private compound, which he’s dubbed the Kalakuta Republic.

He’s decided to leave Nigeria and to give a farewell concert, which turns out to be a lyrical autobiography. The climax comes when military forces storm Kalakuta, arrest Kuti, torture his wives and throw his mother from a window to her death. D.W.

ÇI^WZemiÈ (HIRSHHORN) Based on a photograph of shadows in Warhol’s studio, this vast sequence, made in 1978-1979, is a “sardonic” commentary on abstract expressionism, said associate Hirshhorn curator Evelyn Hankins. But it’s also a rich and varied visual experience. “He never did anything else on this scale,” she says. “It’s a knockout.”

COURTESY HIRSHHORN MUSEUM AND SCULPTURE GARDEN

Two shows of lesser-known works offer a more complete portrait of the artist Cki[kci

Andy Warhol has certainly enjoyed more than the 15 minutes of fame he famously predicted we’d each be allotted. Four decades after he painted them, his soup cans, Brillo boxes and superstar portraits continue to define Pop Art, confronting culture through images that are symbolically freighted yet familiar. They are, as Warhol himself once said, “surface.”

But however simple Warhol’s art looks, he was too restless and prolific to be truly understood through only his best-known works. Now, some of Warhol’s earliest and later works are eyeing each other from opposite sides of the Mall. The National Gallery of Art’s new exhibit “Warhol: Headlines” and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden’s exhibit “Warhol: Shadows” reveal surprising new sides of the artist. (The concurrence of the two exhibits is coincidental — each was planned independently — but the museums have collaborated

Ç<Wj[ Fh[ijeÈ (NATIONAL GALLERY ) This 1981 piece comprises three variations on the front page of an Italian newspaper calling for aid to earthquake victims. Never before exhibited in the U.S., the paintings are “really important,” says Matt Wrbican, an archivist at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. “They’re the first thing he did on newspaper themes after a break of 10 to 15 years.” The triptych is also unusually direct for the usually detached Warhol. “It shows him at his most empathetic,” says National Gallery of Art associate curator Molly Donovan.

— MOLLY DONOVA N, ASSOCIATE CURATOR AT THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART, ON ANDY WARHOL’S WORKS.

on programming efforts.)

The shows have a few things in common: They demonstrate Warhol’s interest in repetition and mechanical reproduction. But where the National Gallery’s show focuses on works that riff on daily reality, the Hirshhorn displays one of Warhol’s lesser-known forays into abstraction — long after he was through taunting abstract expressionists by painting commercial products.

“Headlines” is the more diverse show, featuring paintings, drawings, photos and video, as well as artifacts from Warhol’s collection of ephemera. The display begins with paintings inspired by New York tabloids

and includes collaborations with graffiti artist Keith Haring and episodes of Warhol-produced TV shows, real and imaginary. “In ‘Headlines,’ we see the subjects that interested Warhol throughout his career, celebrity and tragedy being chief among them,” says Molly Donovan, associate curator at the National Gallery of Art. “Shadows” is essentially “a single painting in 102 parts,” explains Evelyn Hankins, an associate curator at the Hirshhorn. The 52-inchby-76-inch paintings are variations

on a near-abstract photo of shadows. Painted in 1978-79, “Shadows” was been shown before, 30 years ago, but never in its entirety. The paintings stretch around the Hirshhorn’s circular second floor, suggesting frames from a film, another of Warhol’s favorite mediums.

Whether abstract or representational, Warhol’s paintings are freeze-frames. As Donovan says of his newspaper-oriented works, “They’re like little moments in the story he was telling about his time.”

A rare example of flower power in Warhol’s work, this 1967 piece obscures the front page of an edition of the New York Daily News — and its headline about a bellicose President Lyndon Johnson — with red, yellow, green and lavender flowers, whose shapes were taken from a commercially manufactured applique sheet.

Inspired by a New York Post cover touting a new baby for Britain’s Princess Margaret, this 1962 National Gallery-owned canvas is flanked by three others also based on tabloid front pages. “Those four paintings together are phenomenal,” Wrbican says. “I’m pretty sure they’ve not been seen together since they left his studio in 1962.”

?dj[hfh[jWj_ed Wi ?dif_hWj_ed Cki_Y There are musicians who cover songs — and then there is Bettye LaVette. Whether the 65-year-old singer is performing Fiona Apple or Pink Floyd, she owns it completely, altering the lyrics and melody to suit her perspective. From LaVette, interpretation is the highest form of flattery.

LaVette has been called a soul singer, but she has little use for the term — which she dismisses as a “white euphemism.”

“I’ve never heard any of us refer to each other as soul singers,” she says, preferring instead to

be called a rhythm and blues singer. “No matter what genre a song comes from, when I sing it, it will be rhythm and blues.”

Over the past few years, LaVette has transformed songs by Aimee Mann, Dolly Parton, Led Zeppelin and many others into her trademark sound. Most famously, she performed a powerful version of the Who’s “Love Reign O’er Me” at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2008, which reportedly brought Who vocalist Roger Daltrey and guitarist Pete Townshend to tears.

Not too long ago, LaVette would have thought such a moment impossible. She began singing professionally as a teen in the early 1960s, scoring a hit with “My Man — He’s a Lovin’ Man” and touring with James Brown and Otis Redding.

The next 30 years were a strug-

gle for the singer, but she is finally receiving the acclaim her voice deserves. “Most of me had given up on that,” she says of finally breaking through. “But I guess a part of me didn’t, because I kept working out

and keeping my voice strong.”

LaVette has recorded three albums in the past six years, sealing her comeback and introducing herself to a new generation of fans.

She’s now working on a memoir

with writer David Ritz and choosing songs for her next record of interpretations. The selection process, she explains, is crucial.

A good song “has to make a lot of sense,” she says, “because I do look my audience in the eye.

After that, it doesn’t take too much to make them my own. It’s me that sings them, and I don’t know how to sound like anybody else.”

7 A_Z#<h_[dZbo Cedij[hiÊ 8Wbb The hippest new place for bands to play is on ‘Yo Gabba Gabba!’

Cki_Y If you have a preschooler, you’re already familiar with “Yo Gabba Gabba!” The Nick Jr. program features five monsterish friends — Muno, Toodee, Plex, Foofa and Brobee, shown — and their orange-clad human friend, DJ Lance Rock (Lance Robertson), who sing songs, play games and host bands that parents love.

On Friday, “Yo Gabba Gabba!

Live!” comes to the Patriot Center, where it’s sure to be greeted with high-pitched, juice-fueled screams. And that will just be from the parents.

Longtime friends Christian Jacobs and Scott Schultz created “Yo Gabba Gabba!” in 2004. They

wanted to make a show that looked different from anything else out there. “I think a key to the show’s design is it feels homemade and, at the same time, out of this world,” Jacobs says. “There’s something not right about it, but there’s something that feels fun and friendly.”

An air of accessibility dominates the show, particularly in the “I Like to Dance” segment, in which a child says, “My name is [name]! I like to dance!” and then proceeds to boogie. “We don’t go to dance studios and find dancers,” says Jacobs, who prefers using real, unpolished children. “We want to show kids that dancing is fun.”

Kids’ shows have often integrated stars who appeal to parents, as any adult viewer of “The Muppet Show” or “Sesame Street” can attest. “Yo Gabba Gabba!” gets hipster bands to perform with an odd, infectious enthusiasm.

Jacobs’ and Schultz’s kids “love

Kraftwerk and Run-DMC and the Ramones,” Jacobs says. “So we thought, ‘Why can’t Flaming Lips and Weezer come on the show, but sing something appropriate for kids? Why can’t we write songs like the Ramones or Kanye, but the lyrics are about having a party in your tummy and eating your vegetables?”

As for the live show, what makes it special (and the tickets coveted) is that actors from the TV show take part, including ’80s icon Biz Markie, whose on-screen segment “Biz’s Beat of the Day” is also a part of the stage show.

“It’s about being fair to the kids,” Jacobs says. “If you’re going to the live show, you’re going to see DJ Lance Rock and nobody else [in his place].” KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (E XPRESS) Patriot Center, 4500 Patriot Circle, Fairfax; Fri., $25-$45; 703-993-3000, Patriotcenter.com.

Musical numbers plus a love story lighten the somber, true tale portrayed in ‘Parade’ J^[Wj[h Leo Frank is a Brooklynite living in the heart of Dixie, a Jew in the middle of the Bible Belt. His wife, Lucille, feels underappreciated and thinks he works too much. Then, Frank is falsely accused of rape and murder, convicted (thanks to a shady DA and a press bent on sensationalism), pulled from his jail cell and lynched. Somehow, Stephen Rayne, the director of Ford’s Theatre’s production of “Parade,” sees a love story in the middle of all this.

The musical is based on Frank’s real-life saga in Marietta, Ga., in the 1910s. The change in Leo and

Lucille’s relationship as it moves from strained to strong is the one hopeful note in a show dominated by the politicians, lawyers and media who turned the trial into the Casey Anthony frenzy of the day.

And while it’s not the typical love story you find in a musical, Rayne says the show’s tunes are the perfect way to chart that developing relationship.

“Music has always been the best vehicle for telling a love story,” Rayne says. “Much as smell is evocative, music is evocative. It’s a very good shorthand way of cutting to the chase.”

Rayne, who is British, found that his outsider’s perspective helped when dealing with the tale, which touches on anti-Semitism, race (Frank’s lawyers attempt to shift the blame to Newt Lee, an African-American night watchman) and the divide between the

The 29-year-old star of “Knocked Up” and “Pineapple Express” is a comedic actor by trade, but in his new film, “50/50,” he’s found audiences let the tears flow as much as the laughs.

“It is weird,” Rogen says. “Honestly, it’s not what we expected.”

The other half of the “we” he’s referring to is friend Will Reiser, who wrote “50/50” after he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer at 24. “It’s mostly grown men

who come up to me [after screenings] and say ‘[Expletive] you; you made me cry in front of my wife.

How dare you?’” Reiser says. “And then they say, ‘Thank you.’”

Loosely based on Reiser’s own

experiences, “50/50,” which opens Friday, tells the story of 27-year-old public radio producer Adam Lerner (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), who is diagnosed with cancer and given a 50 percent chance to live. Rogen

plays a variation of himself, Adam’s best friend and co-worker Kyle.

The film was born out of a necessity for Reiser to find levity after his diagnosis. “I didn’t know how to talk about my feelings,” Reiser, 31, says. “All I wanted to do was feel as normal as possible and not make other people feel weird about it. So I’d just joke about it and we would make jokes, and that was how I dealt with it. To someone on the outside, it would come across as insensitive, and it probably was, but that was the only way I knew how to deal with it.”

As a result, the first draft of his script had strong distinctions between the comedic scenes and the more somber subject matter. “We didn’t know at the time

to deal with its own legacy of colonialism, however.)

“I’ve come at it from an outsider’s point of view, and I think that can be beneficial. I don’t have an agenda. I don’t have a side I’m fighting for. Most Americans have passionate agendas one way or another.” KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (E XPRESS) Ford’s Theatre, 511 10th St. NW; through Oct. 30, $27-$40; 202-3474833, Fordstheatre.org. (Metro Center)

“What I discovered,” Reiser adds, “is you remind people the cancer’s there. Then, you let them forget about it for a few minutes, and then suddenly something happens. You kind of weave it out but never quite let them forget.”

Count on Me This week brings us the romcom “WHAT’S YOUR NUMBER?” in which Anna Faris learns that there is a certain amount of partners a woman can have before nobody wants her anymore. While numbers shouldn’t be used to measure a woman’s worth, they do provide some great titles. K.P.K.

' One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest This 1975 film took all five major Oscars that year (picture; lead actor and actress; director; and screenplay).

More amazingly, it actually deserved them. See the glory of Jack Nicholson before he became a parody of himself.

( 2 Fast 2 Furious Should this count as 4? Anyway, cars drive really fast, and Paul Walker is pretty, and then everyone associated with this 2003 film goes home to sleep on a giant pile of money.

IYh[[d Sam Childers, the Pennsylvania pastor whose life inspired the film “Machine Gun Preacher,” is an intimidating guy. Once a criminal and a heroin addict, Childers found Jesus, got clean, went to Sudan and started kicking ass — spending his time both killing bad guys and building an orphanage to house kids who lost their parents in Sudan’s civil war. Screenwriter Jason Keller was hesitant to take on the job of telling the story of this Rambo for Jesus.

“I didn’t know if I could capture his story and what I was learning about Central Africa,” Keller says of the film, which opens Friday. “It scared the hell out of me. So it took a long time for me to finally say, ‘OK, I’m going to write this.’”

Keller was nervous because not only would he have to write about the atrocities that occurred during the story’s time period (and continue to happen), but because he also felt a special burden to call attention to them. “As I started to look at

The writer of ‘Machine Gun Preacher’ tackles a true story of God, war and redemption

Jason Keller, the screenwriter of “Machine Gun Preacher,” felt an obligation to draw attention to recent atrocities in Sudan.

what was going on in Central Africa and I started to feel personally responsible for doing something — and not just writing a check, though that’s great — I turned around and looked at my skill set. I’m not a politician, I’m not wealthy, I’m not an activist in the traditional sense of the word. I’m a screenwriter. So I thought, ‘What if I try to write a

movie?’ And not a little documentary, not a little $5 million movie.

What if I try and write a big movie that can in some way address what I’m discovering?’”

The film stars Gerard Butler as Childers and was directed by Marc Forster (“Quantum of Solace”). Even though Keller had to Hollywood-ize certain things —

shifting the chronology of events, for example — he was determined not to let the script tip into feelgood territory. “None of us would have been interested if it had been a neat, tidy little story about how a bad guy becomes a good guy and does good on the planet. That’s not how this world is. This world is messy. We wanted there not to be easy answers. Because there aren’t.”

* Four Weddings And a Funeral

A cabdriver meets God (kind of) and She has a penchant for skimpy clothes. There are big guns and Gary Oldman and a blue, opera-singing alien! This 1997 film is so much fun.

COURTESY YOKEL

This 1994 romcom brought us the bumbling, floppy-haired charmer who is Hugh Grant. Also a lot of hats, and the puzzling fact that people were still paying Andie MacDowell to act.

WRITTEN BY EXPRESS’ KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY

In “Incendiary,” Dr. Gerald Hurst explains that his investigation of a 1991 fatal house fire found no evidence of arson.

“Incendiary,” opening Friday at E Street Cinema, is similar to Errol Morris’ 1988 doc “The Thin Blue Line”: It makes you really depressed that it’s not fiction. This film chronicles the case of Cameron Todd Willingham, who was convicted and executed for the murders of his daughters, who died in a house fire in 1991. Strides in the science of fire investigation began to cast doubt on the state’s argument that Willingham set the fire, but political maneuvering prevented new findings from superseding the old ones — even though old techniques were based on shaky “science” that reeks of old wives’ tales. Willingham was executed in 2004, but “Incendiary” is a very contemporary story: Texas governor and current Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry refused a stay of execution for Willingham and was accused of manipulating forensics investigations of the deadly fire. The movie isn’t just about this case, though — it’s about political forces who like to ignore science to further their own interests. And if there’s one thing history proves, it’s that science doesn’t take kindly to being ignored. Landmark E Street Cinema, 555 11th St. NW; opening Fri.; $8-$12; 202-4527672, Landmarktheatres.com.

COURTESY NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY

The Real McKay Nellie McKay is the kind of musician publicists describe as “eccentric.” She made a splash with 2004’s “Get Away From Me,” and album that showcased her odd Judy Garland-meetsEminem musical style. Since then, she has further developed her funny, sometimes angry pop-jazz sound — with a tiny detour to do a full album of Doris Day covers, of course. Music Center at Strathmore, 5301 Tuckerman Lane, North Bethesda; Fri., 8 p.m., $38-$58; 301-581-5100, Strathmore. org. (Grosvenor-Strathmore)

Acting President In Washington, we, understandably, tend to focus on Ronald Reagan’s contributions to government; his strengths and failings as a leader; and what he actually knew or didn’t know about that whole Iran-Contra affair. But Thursday’s lecture, which will take place in front of a portrait of the former president in the National Portrait Gallery’s “One Life: Ronald Reagan” exhibit, will examine the Gipper’s acting career. The event is part of the museum’s Face-to-Face Portrait Talk series. National Portrait Gallery, 8th and F streets NW; Thu., 6 p.m., free; 202-6338300, Npg.si.edu. (Gallery Place)

Various locations; though Oct. 2, free; Culturaltourismdc.org.

Do You Hear the People Sing Again?

“Les Miserables,” the musical based on Victor Hugo’s epic novel, wasn’t exactly overdue for a revival — its first Broadway run closed in 2003, its second in 2008. The 25th anniversary production, now at the Kennedy Center, has fresh set designs inspired by Hugo’s gloomy paintings. J. Mark McVey, left, plays Jean Valjean, everyone’s favorite bread thief.

Cigars and Cognac: Anarchy at the Jefferson No smoking. It’s the law — at least, it is in most establishments in the area.

The patio at Quill, a bar and lounge at the Jefferson Hotel, is not one of those places. Not only are patrons allowed to smoke cigars, but this Friday from 8 p.m. till 11 p.m. they can also learn the proper techniques for cutting, lighting and puffing them. How to wash down the knowledge? Flights of cognac ($21), of course. 1200 16th St. NW; 202-448-3274, Jeffersondc. com. (McPherson Square)

A Berkel meat slicer will be used to carve artisanal charcuter ie. It ’s a gorgeous hu n k of machinery; Tunks opted for nonelectric, to avoid generating any friction or heat that might melt the fat of delicately sliced hams and salumi.

The line where the chef will spend most of his time has fryers with oil (“creamy, soy, trans-fatfree”) lines that connect to tall, 800pound tanks in the back kitchen.

The fryers can be filled and emptied with the touch of a button. (“Just like McDonald’s!” Tunks says — the only time he’d employ such a boast, we suspect.)

One Lounge’s Mediterranean pizza comes topped with fresh vegetables.

This week, as chef Jeff Tunks ramps up the kitchens of side-by-side restaurants with very different concepts, the executive chef is 6 feet 3 inches of anxiety.

“Nervous? That’s an understatement,” he says. “It scares the bejeezus out of me.

“Let’s face it: I’m a control freak. Everything can be in order, but if we have a Bobby Flay situation — you know, people waiting in line for an hour [like at Flay’s new burger joint on K Street] — it’ll kill me. It’s not a religious experience. It’s a burger.”

Tunks and his Passion Food partners, Gus DiMillo and David Wizenberg, have done their part.

With cooperation from the gods of hospitality, their tavern, District Commons, will have a soft opening Friday. Burger, Tap & Shake is scheduled to open next week.

In a private preview for The Washington Post’s “All We Can Eat” blog, Tunks showed off lots of good ideas and cool kitchen toys.

The burger meat is a mix of organic, wet-aged whole chuck roasts and briskets, ground inhouse. Tunks opted for a burger press that allows for variable pressure control. “We will grind and chill. Portion and chill. Form and chill. Daily,” the chef says.

The 12-quart Emery Thompson batch freezer can crank out ice cream in 11 minutes; again, Tunks’ penchant for control directed him to this high-priced model, which has the capacity to control the consistency of the product whether it’s sorbet, gelato or something inbetween. The chef’s eyebrows raised as he described the amount of but-

Six-ounce patties are first seared on a charcoal grill before they are finished on the griddle, where the line cook covers them with individual lids to melt “the government cheese,” aka American. The grill time helps melt away a little of the fat, Tunks says.

The beverage-dispenser island behind the counter allows for easy staff access. It has 20 beers on tap and a row of milk shake machines.

Nonalcoholic shake flavors include chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and espresso-caramel. BONNIE S. BENWICK (THE WASHINGTON POST )

The second-floor dining area at Sax provides patrons the best view of the restaurant and lounge’s scantily clad entertainment.

CW`eh IWn 7ff[Wb An over-the-top oasis attracts adventurous diners to Penn Quarter <_hij 8_j[ Sax might be the only restaurant in Washington to list a choreographer on its payroll.

Like a little action with your yellowfin tuna? Beginning each night around 6:30 at the newcomer to downtown D.C., dinner is accompanied by performances by eight or so dancers who gyrate on a glass-front, 20-foot “infinity” stage above the bar. The cabaret — ballet meets burlesque meets Cirque du Soleil — lets the owners take advantage of the cavernous space left behind by Posh but adds “more visuals to just dining,” says Nancy Koide, who co-owns Sax in addition to Oya and Sei, both in Penn Quarter.

Sax opened in May with a side of controversy: murals poking fun at official Washington, including one of a bare-chested Bill Clinton cavorting with a familiar-looking

brunette in front of the Capitol.

Within three weeks, the titillating scenes had been painted over. What remained was still an eye-opener dressed with reclaimed chandeliers, wrought iron and even a big church door. What’s not gold leaf is red velvet.

Factor in the ornate balcony seating and the cleavage-baring servers, and you could be in Las Vegas, Versailles or the Playboy Mansion.

The food comes as a surprise.

Much of it is more refined than you might expect, given everything that surrounds it. A bowl of corn soup arrives with icy islands of red pepper sorbet on its surface. Scallop carpaccio is set off with refreshing grapefruit, biting ginger and a froth of coconut milk. Deeply flavored, shredded braised lamb gets its crunch from red quinoa and sweetness from an apple sabayon. It should come as no surprise that the wine list in this over-the-top oasis tilts in favor of Champagne.

Jonathan Seningen, who comes to this kitchen from Oya, knows he faces stiff competition in the dining room. “I have to draw people away from the show and the room and the servers — the eye candy,” says the chef, 33.

Good luck, sir.

As our waitress runs down the dessert choices, she purrs her preference for what amounts to a giant petit four: “My favorite is the Saxual chocolate cake.” TOM SIE TSEMA (THE WASHINGTON POST )

Unhappily Ever After Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore may be headed for divorce )'

The Glitter Gals The most highly decorated hour of TV airs Saturdays on HGTV: “Dina’s Party” at 10 p.m., followed by “Donna Decorates Dallas” at 10:30 p.m.

Dina Manzo, above, once dwelt in the toxic world of Bravo’s New Jersey Housewives. Now, she displays her skills as a party planner who likes to say, “We’re gonna do this big.” How big? Cardboard pillars, a tent festooned with branches of wilting flowers, and spaghetti and meatballs served in “an Italian 8o CWhY chuck wagon” featuring I_bl[h old-fashioned skillets sitting amid what Dina refers to as “real actual wood.” Dina also says “pitcher” instead of “picture.” To thine Jersey roots be true, Dina!

Dallas’ Donna Moss believes no room is complete without chandeliers, crosses and fleurs-de-lys. She twists old sayings into nonsense: “That bed is going to fit in here like a glove.” And she’s totally hands-on. When candles aren’t the right hue, she personally paints them!

Customers praise Dina and Donna, so they must be talented. Although when one husband sees how Donna turned his bedroom into a blood-red, leopard-print-y, super-sparkly boudoir, his mouth says, “Wow,” but his eyes say, “I’d rather SLEEP IN A PRISON CELL.” Read Marc’s previous columns at: expressnightout.com/muse

Timothy Greenfield-Sanders’ “The Latino List” features interviews with Armando Christian Perez (aka Pitbull), left; John Leguizamo, center; and Eva Longoria, right.

Let’s see, leading Hispanic actors on mainstream TV: There’s Sofia Vergara’s wacky trophy wife on “Modern Family”; the conniving Eva Longoria of “Desperate Housewives”; and supporting actors such as Adam Rodriguez who plays a fingerprint expert on “CSI Miami.”

After that, the list thins considerably.

Stepping into that space is “The Latino List.” The new documentary by Vanity Fair contributing photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders airs tonight on HBO

ÇJ^[ BWj_de [nf[h_[dY[ $$$ Q_iS fhe\ekdZbo X[Wkj_\kb WdZ Z[[fbo cel_d]$È and features interviews by journalist Maria Hinojosa with some of the nation’s most successful Latinos.

Longoria; Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor; rapper Armando Christian Perez, aka Pitbull; astronaut Jose Hernandez; and actress America Ferrera are just a few of the 15 who made the list. The interviews are compelling, funny and raw.

Ferrera, the former star of “Ugly Betty,” talks about the discrimination she faced both because she is Hispanic and because others felt she

isn’t Hispanic enough. Hernandez recalls picking cucumbers as a kid with his migrant worker parents.

John Leguizamo remembers the teacher who inspired him to become an actor by telling him he had the “attention span of a sperm.”

Many of the stories touch on the immigrant experience, but themes of family, education and determination will likely resonate far beyond the nation’s Latino community.

The film’s minimalism is deceptive. Greenfield-Sanders wanted viewers to feel like the list-makers were speaking directly to them, so he used a special camera rig with a mirror that enabled his subjects to look directly into the camera and see a projected image of Hinojosa — who was sitting on the other side of the studio. She had a similar camera and microphone.

Like “The Black List,” the new film is accompanied by a photography exhibit, which is on display at the Brooklyn Museum of Art. (AP)

“The Latino experience in this country is profoundly beautiful and deeply moving, and sometimes painful,” Hinojosa says. “I really wanted to create a space for them to remember and touch back to these core memories and values.”

Dum Dum Girls frontwoman Kristin “Dee Dee” Gundred has simple goals.

“As corny as it sounds, it’s my dream to do this and only this,” she says of making music.

Corny or not, for Gundred and her all-girl California garage-pop band, the dream is coming true. Since Dum Dum Girls’ debut, “I Will Be,” which arrived on HoZac in July 2010, the band signed to indie powerhouse Sub Pop, re-released “I Will Be” and cut the EP “He Gets Me High.” Now, Dum Dum Girls return with their second full-length album, “Only in Dreams,” out this week.

Legendary songwriter Richard Gottehrer (“My Boyfriend’s Back”) and the Raveonettes’ Sune Rose Wagner co-produced the disc.

“Only in Dreams” puts a new gloss on the band’s signature lo-fi sound and showcases the group’s evolution. It’s also the act’s first

Dum Dum Girls’ Kristin Gundred, front, and her band released a new CD this week.

Dum Girls [have become]. I wanted a record that reflected that.”

Gottehrer says that polishing the group’s surf-tinged melodies and showcasing Gundred as a songwriter have been the most important elements in evolving the band’s sound. “This album was a conscious attempt to show people what [Gundred] can really do,” he says.

release to feature tracking by the full band — Jules (guitar), Bambi (bass) and Sandy (drums).

“As much as I love writing songs and recording [on my own], that can always remain a hobby,” says Gundred, who recorded “I Will Be” by herself. “But having a band and touring is the reality of what Dum

Charles Frazier’s “Cold Mountain” was a quick hit, but his second book tanked.

off an absurd $8 million advance.

But the book Frazier eventually produced, “Thirteen Moons,” received jeering reviews and sold far fewer copies than his debut.

So here we are with book No. 3.

Will Frazier’s new novel, “Night-

woods” ($26, Random House), redeem his reputation, or will it only confirm claims that he’s a deep-fatfried Faulkner who got lucky?

Sorry, haters, but this is a fantastic book: an Appalachian Gothic with a low-level fever that runs alternately warm and chilling. Frazier has left the 19th century to produce a cleverly knitted thriller about a tough young woman in the 1960s who has given up on the people of her small town and gone to live alone in the woods.

Frazier’s fans will be pleased, his detractors brought up short, and all of us should be grateful for another very fine novel to read this fall.

It’s not unusual for a singer of one gender to personalize a song popularized by a performer of the opposite gender. On her 10th studio album, “Lady & Gentlemen,” country singer LeAnn Rimes takes the concept even further, reinterpreting nearly an entire album’s worth of male-identified hits from a female perspective. It’s a nervy undertaking given the classic nature of the material, but one that she consistently pulls off with imagination and aplomb.

She gets things started by transforming John Anderson’s “Swingin’” into a Bakersfield-style romp replete with breakneck Telecaster solos and bluesy barbs of steel guitar. On Merle Haggard’s “The Bottle Let Me Down,” she slackens the tempo and employs an atmospheric arrangement suggestive of Rosanne Cash at her ruminative best. For Merle

LeAnn Rimes takes a break from being on the People page to release a new CD.

Travis’s coal-mining classic “Sixteen Tons,” she adopts a jazzy, finger-popping approach reminiscent of vintage Peggy Lee. As might be expected from someone who had her breakthrough hit with the Patsy Cline-style weeper “Blue” (reprised here as a gutbucket shuffle), Rimes sounds completely at home on the ballads. Her lean, bluesy remake of co-producer Vince Gill’s “When I Call Your Name” is another bold move. But even better is her steel guitar-steeped take on Freddy Fender’s “Wasted Days and Wasted Nights,” a gorgeous vehicle for the husky mix of sensuality and vulnerability in Rimes’ voice when she reaches down into the lower registers.

A More Mellow Metal

Mastodon is nominally a metal band, but with each successive outing, the Georgia quartet stomp farther away from that specific label. After a trilogy of progressively more progressive concept albums, “The Hunter” does away with clunky big ideas and shape-shifting epics, resulting in the band’s most efficient and instantly appealing album. The record’s title track, a slow-burner that’s more ballad than bludgeon, is not dissimilar to “One” or “Black Hole Sun,” songs that helped launch Metallica and Soundgarden, respectively, to mega-stardom. But Mastodon isn’t quite at that level yet — the band is still too willfully weird. DAVID MALITZ (THE WASHINGTON POST)

C[[j C_ij[h CWdd[hi This sluggish, unfunny sitcom stars David Hornsby, left, as men’s magazine columnist Andrew Carlson, a mashup of Alex P. Keaton and Niles Crane. When his editor informs Andrew that the new owner wants to revamp the magazine for younger guys (translation: bros), Andrew has to find something to write about besides collar tabs. In a spooky case of life imitating art, Kevin Dillon, right, shows up as the bully who used to pummel Andrew in high school and is now Andrew’s surest path into the zeitgeist of the young American male. It’s as if we’re watching an “Entourage” episode where Dillon’s Johnny Drama gets cast in a stinker sitcom. HANK STUE VER (THE WASHINGTON POST ) 98I

“The Coffee Addiction” (9 p.m., CNBC) discusses America’s love affair with the popular perk-me-up. According to this documentary, Americans consume more than 400 million cups a day. “Addiction” looks at the $70 billion trade in coffee beans, from the Peruvian coffee fields to the boardrooms of Starbucks, a marketing phenomenon that has made caffeine consumption a declaration of status, if not a way of life.
