Things I forgot: how dark both the Station and Reservoir are. Things I learned: every beer Fullsteam makes is great, and so are Sinful Savage Tigers. Things I never forget: how much I love the Static Minds, and Erik in particular. 31! I celebrated by staying up until 4 am last night playing Angry Birds…

slingshot cash @ the cave
I talked Brian Matusz and Brad Bergesen with Jay, yelled at a Red Sox fan for pissing on my baseball stadium, and spotted two, TWO, Royals fans in the wild. I also drank $2 PBR drafts, which is dangerous. Slingshot Cash and Effingham played, too, and they were both excellent. Slingshot Cash releases their new…
the rural alberta advantage @ local 506
I sat here with this window open and blank almost all day; I wanted to say something profound about how gorgeous and heartbreaking and wonderful the Rural Alberta Advantage were last night, how Nils’ voice made me shudder and Paul’s drumming made me laugh and dance in a crowd that was, otherwise, quietly and politely…
wye oak @ local 506
So the thing is: I like Wye Oak recorded just fine. I listen to their records, I enjoy them, they’re good, and I think Civilian is even breathtaking in moments. But it’s live, live Wye Oak sounds like a heartbeat to me, and because I am from Baltimore and they are from Baltimore, it doesn’t…

slingshot cash recording
i’m trying hard to have more sympathy than you if you’re keeping score at home i’m up three to two Fucking around in the studio last night while the Cowboy and his lead guitarist finished up the last track on Slingshot Cash’s new album.
for my flesh had turned to fur
And then sometimes all that is left for you is to post cat photos. From top to bottom, Billy Donovan, the most hateful meatloaf in the world but who is mine and who does love me; Rodney, shep.’s cat, who has a lot to say to everyone about everything, thank you, and would you mind if…
hey, you! you musician! over there! yeah, you!
It looks like we’re going to avoid a major government shutdown for the time being, but that doesn’t mean that the Republicans aren’t just going to decide to stop paying me while I answer phone calls from claimants, so some stuff I thought I’d put out there, local musicians and others: Need new and interesting…
joke’s on me
I’m not sure if all creative people struggle with this, I suspect not, but sometimes I have a difficult time taking myself seriously. As seriously as maybe I should. I really like taking pictures. I like being in the moment, doing it. I like exploring it, I like looking at the pictures. I don’t like…
baseball: stony brook @ unc
Two. Stony Brook, in getting outscored 34-11 over the weekend, did not lend any credence to the theory that northern college baseball teams, a few exceptions excluded, are getting any more regularly competitive with the warm weather teams. Carolina knocked the snot out of them in Game 2 of the series Saturday, and our pitching…
