Sunday night’s show on Brown’s Island felt like a ritual, maybe even a communion, as a field full of strangers came together under clear skies and perfect weather. Modest Mouse, The Flaming Lips, and opener Friko gave the crowd exactly what we came for. Modest Mouse...
Check out this wonderful set of photos by Mike Brodie. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, so I imagine there is a part of everyone that would love to join these kids and live on their own terms.

Looking at Marcus Hyde’s photos, I can’t help but wonder what led the man who started out shooting rocks and trees for his high school darkroom class into the realm of fashion photography. Despite its association with fashion, much of his work, in my opinion, has enough artistic merit to stand alone as portraiture. A number of his photos are...
New photos from our friend and photographer Nick Ghobashi. Nestled in the back of a city neighborhood, next to a graveyard, this little slab of paradise gets its name from the nearby trail that leads to the beach. It's not really much of a beach, more like a lil sand on the shore of the river where you can have some fun, get chased by snakes and...

Apparently Virginia Beach has some things going for it. From what I can tell, the place is ripe with youthful rage and wild-spirited party animals. The whole scene is either obscenely weird or weirdly obscene, and while the boys and girls from the Tidewater are drinking a tripped out Kool-Aid, a talented triangle is capturing it all. Along with...
As a former history major who wrote my senior thesis about theater as a form of edification for Richmond society (what was I smoking?), I felt like a hypocrite for not visiting the Valentine History Center since moving to RVA. Having heard heaps of praise about what is colloquially called the “tattoo exhibit,” I decided I could no longer put off...
Last week, we brought you Chad Brown's recap of the wild, crazy, and completely overwhelming experience he had at SXSW 2012. But in truth, that was only half the story.

This photo set from LIFE Magazine shows that skateboarding goes back further than California in the seventies. These kids were having a blast and now they are grandparents. I wonder what they think of the X-Games? This photo set from LIFE Magazine shows that skateboarding goes back further than California in the seventies. These kids were having...
