you are the lump in my throat i am the aching in your heart [John Doe, “The Golden State”] This song is either the creepiest romantic song I have ever heard, or the most romantic creepy song. I can’t decide. It’s gorgeous, regardless. Go tell the people you love that you love them. Actually, do…

onward, soldiers @ open eye cafe
Wilmington’s Onward, Soldiers are spending a lot of time up in the Triangle these days, and I, for one, couldn’t be happier — the Open Eye is not an ideal performance space, weirdly shaped and full of graduate students with laptops who don’t understand why there is a rockin’ band playing and also made of…
i don’t feel much like starting now
will i ever know silence without mental violence will the ringing at night go away
to hate like this is to be happy forever
Dean Smith made basketball a religion in our family, rivaled only by Presbyterianism, barbeque, and the Democratic Party. For many years, our dream scenario had gone something like this: Dean beats archrival Duke and its coach, the detested Mike Krzyzewski, for the national championship in April, then runs for the Senate (for which he had…
there was a band playin’ in my head
Another good friend, Michael Cooper, I used to hang with a lot. Great photographer. He could hang and hang; he could take so much stuff. He was the only photographer I ever knew who actually had a tremor when he was taking pictures, and yet they’d come out right. “How did you do that? Your…
hockey: thrashers @ canes
There was overtime and the Canes won! Teenage girls screamed for Jeff Skinner like he was all four of the Beatles! The dudebros in front of us were so excited about the game and super adorable! I have almost finally gotten my white balance right in the RBC Center! A++ hockey experience, Canes, will likely…
gambling the muse @ nightlight
I am trying really hard to make good on my goal to see more, new local bands this year, and Gambling The Muse is one of those bands — apparently, according to my Photojojo time capsule this week, I actually saw them play at the Dylan vs. Petty benefit last year, but that evening ended…
paleface & mo @ the pour house
Paleface & Mo played to a small — rainy Thursday, a huge show at Kings down the street –but enthusiastic crowd at the Pour House last night, and unlike other shows I’ve hit lately, I knew it wouldn’t be a disappointment, and it wasn’t. The set was short, just over an hour, but packed with…
preview: paleface & mo @ the pour house
People intimately familiar with Paleface’s music are usually familiar with his background: Daniel Johnston discovered him, Beck was his roommate, Danny Fields molded him, and after having a huge influence on the New York City anti-folk movement and two major label releases, Paleface sort of fell away, self-releasing cassettes and albums until Concord’s Ramseur Records, home to weirdos…
