Diarrhea Planet, Music Band, Boone Howard
People are still talking about that one time Diarrhea Planet played in the woods at Pickathon. Those crazy kids with the interstellar runs know how to put on a rowdy good time. They’re a whirlwind of flying kicks, guitars, hooks, amp surfing, and mean drum beats. This Nashville rock ‘n’ roll six-piece is a crapload of fun. COURTNEY FERGUSON

Rob Spillman
As editor of Portland’s own (and Brooklyn’s own) Tin House, Rob Spillman knows good writing, and his own is no exception. Spillman’s new memoir, All Tomorrow’s Parties, is a freewheeling, globe-spanning account of Spillman’s misspent youth, written in pleasantly clean, pared-down prose. If you’ve ever been a broke young person with an interest in art, he’s got your number. MEGAN BURBANK
