my heart is yours, honey what’s mine is yours, honey but only for a little while So almost exactly two years ago, on a Thursday night, when I was just getting to know Glenn, I leaned across the bar at the 506 between a Holy Ghost Tent Revival set and a New Familiars set, and…

death to false hope anniversary fest pre-party
I pulled a double-header last night, which is something I may be getting too old to do unless I take the next day off, but it was pretty well worth it. I started the evening in Durham at Motorco with Ash, for the pre-party for this weekend’s two day 60 band Death To False Hope…

onward soldiers @ nightlight
I have, at various points in time, spent a lot of time entertaining myself by thinking up interesting/hilarious/very specifically themed tour pairings. It’s something to think about when I don’t have anything else to think about, and occasionally I entertained myself not just casually with these ideas, but wildly with them, although most of those…
play colors
Painters stand between the junkies and the psychos. They don’t move, they don’t jump or whisper or dance; they listen ferociously. I admire this. — Kristin Hersh I’m reading Kristin Hersh’s Rat Girl right now; it is fierce and gorgeous and utterly heart-breaking. Highly, highly recommended. (I reading it among other things, I should say, as…
jesse malin & the st mark’s social @ kings barcade
I went to see Jesse Malin last night with Ash, basically on the strength of how much I love his ridiculous self-indulgent covers album, and I walked out a convert to everything else he does. The St. Mark’s Social, his current backing band, are incredibly tight musicians, and Jesse is a captivating frontman — can’t…
grant hart @ motorco music hall
I went to college in Minnesota; before that, I listened to the radio, to a few things I found on my own, to the Rolling Stones and the Band. And then I moved to Minnesota, and I met people who knew a ton about music, and my world opened up. Seeing Grant Hart last night…
the magnolia collective @ the station
Up front: 11pm is a late set for me, even on a Thursday, even in Carrboro three minutes from my house, but I’d been hearing great things about the Magnolia Collective’s residency at the Station for months, from various people (okay, including some people that I talk to but whose opinions are suspect, but mostly…
fret sounds
Last Friday I drove out to Graham, with the Cowboy in tow, to take photos at Fret Sounds, a custom guitar building and repair shop run by local musician Brian Haran. Brian, in addition to playing in the excellent Filthybird with his wife Renee, specializes in restoring vintage instruments and building custom pieces from scratch;…
two sentence reviews of 2010 local releases i listened to in january 2011
Since one of my goals for 2011 is to see more new-to-me local bands, the first Two Sentence Reviews of the year is all local to the Triangle-ish, all the time. (Basically mostly I just trust Ash to point me in the good local directions. And she does, and I listen.) Two Sentence Reviews, Local…
