You must, after the age of 33, continue to do a certain type of work, or else go into the shoe business; forget music or it’ll turn into hatred, or else reiteration, redundancy, and in many cases death. — Garth Hudson of the Band, 1984. I wonder what Patterson Hood would think of that. One…

bristol rhythm & roots reunion 2010
Cost effective and bitchin’, as one of my coworkers would say. Happy 10th birthday, Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion! You don’t look a day over seven. You were a highlight of 2009, and you brought it again in 2010. Can’t wait for 2011. “Was that your brother?” One of the best parts of the festival…

bristol rhythm & roots 2010
I think this may be my second favorite place in the world outside of the state of North Carolina (Camden Yards is my favorite). Not this Econo Lodge specifically, but Bristol in general. We’re in Tenne-virginia for the 10th Annual Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion this weekend; keep an eye out here for photos and out…
superchunk @ the nasher museum of art
Unbelievable. Phenomenal. Amazing. Pick an adjective for “blew my mind” and it’s the right one. What a set. More photos behind the jump. Set list, courtesy Mr. McCaughan himself: So Convinced/Water Wings/Crossed Wires/My Gap Feels Weird/Song for Marion Brown/Watery Hands/Let It Go/Fractures in Plaster/Rosemarie/Shallow End/Punch Me Harder/Mower/Digging for Something (w/ John Darnielle)/Pink Clouds/Hyper Enough/Everything At…
superchunk — majesty shredding
Superchunk — Majesty Shredding. Out 9/14, Merge Records. On Monday night, I made a metaphorical horrified face at Ash over IM, at the thought that someone my age or older had literally never heard of Superchunk before this week. I’m not judging! I was simply surprised, because at the age of 14, Superchunk put out Foolish and some…
those darlins @ local 506
Those Darlins, at the top of their game, are excellent: playing ironically earnest kitschy cowpunk — like “Wild One”, the unquestionable highlight from 2009’s self-titled debut, and their stellar cover of “Let’s Talk Dirty In Hawaiian” from this year’s Prine tribute album, Broken Hearts & Dirty Windows — and harmonizing in a way that manages…
bristol rhythm & roots 2010 preview
The boys in Holy Ghost Tent Revival turned me on to Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion two springs ago, when I was hanging out in the studio with them. “It’s great,” they said. “You should go.” A couple of months later, Josh Daniel from the New Familiars told me the same thing. Last August, Ian…
trekky records day-dream day party
There are definitely things that I’m sorry to have missed about Hopscotch; anything that big happens, something is bound to happen that you’re sorry to miss. But I got my money’s worth — ie just the cost of drinks — and far far more, at Trekky’s Day-Dream day party. The Triangle has a host of…
