Stranger Suggests: Hiatus Kaiyote and Digable Planets, Capitol Hill Block Party, Longlegs in 35mm, ML Buch, and as Much Soft Serve as You Can Eat
(MUSIC) Aussie jazz-funk ensemble Hiatus Kaiyote will take to Remlinger Farms in support of their fourth album, Love Heart Cheat Code, which embraces spontaneity with improvised tracks like "Sparkle Tape Break Up" and "And We Go Gentle." However, the show’s real draw is that Digable Planets, the greatest hip-hop group of all time (in my opinion) is opening. The trio of rappers, who have adopted the insect alter-egos Butterfly, Ladybug Mecca, and Doodlebug, will perform classic tracks from their influential jazz-rap albums Reachin' (A New Refutation of Time and Space) and Blowout Comb. If you're not familiar with the group, I suggest listening to their 1993 track "La Femme Fetal," which tackles the persistent issues of abortion rights and fascism.

Predicting Washington’s Starting Offense: Skill Positions
The Husky football season begins at the end of August. Continuing our look at this year’s program, it’s time to project the week one starting offense for Washington. The offense returns zero majority starters from last year’s high-powered unit. It added several transfers at many positions, and the new staff will be running a pro-style system. Big Ten Media Days are later in July, and Fall camp will get underway shortly thereafter. We have predicted the starters in the secondary and the front seven. But now, and based on what we’ve seen thus far in the offseason, here’s what the starting skill position players on the Washington offense might look like come August 31st.
