frightened rabbit @ cat’s cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. Two sentence reviews of reasonably new albums and EPs I listened to in April: Annuals — Sweet Sister EP: this is deliciously sweet, cleverly layered indie pop, and it’s really good, and it just pisses me off all the worse that Annuals remain one of the…

carrboro farmer’s market, originally uploaded by minervacat. A few weeks ago, shep. shared this New York Times article on people who photograph their food on Google Reader, and I just wanted to echo her sentiment from the original share: food photography on that level will make you a lunatic, and I still both miss it…

the new familiars @ broad street cafe, originally uploaded by minervacat. The New Familiars do a lot of things exceedingly well, including the all-purpose “being awesome and beloved to me”, but one thing that they do above and beyond almost anyone I see play live regularly is a cover song — with no regard to…
