baseball: unc @ duke, game two
baseball: unc @ duke, game two, originally uploaded by minervacat. Six. Yesterday’s game was a trainwreck of shitty pitching (on both sides) and bad umpiring (at first base). Game three takes the series today. It’s stopped raining, tickets are cheap, and there isn’t any other baseball going on in the Triangle today: why aren’t you…
the morning benders @ local 506
I always want to pat out-of-town bands soothingly on the shoulder after their repeated exhortations to a concert crowd on the subject of dancing fall completely flat. We should issue a public service announcement to bands who’ve never played in the CH or Carrboro before: “It isn’t anything personal, it’s just that the hipsters here…
a glass of wine and a good book
a glass of wine and a good book, originally uploaded by minervacat. An incomplete and totally subjective list of books about music that I have enjoyed: Dixie Lullaby, Mark Kemp.

wrightsville beach, originally uploaded by minervacat. the morning benders, Big Echo. Out 3/9, Rough Trade Records. This is going to be kind of a big statement, but trust me, I don’t make it without having considered and considered and considered the new record from New-York-via-Berkeley’s the morning benders: I think that album-opener “Excuses” might just…

baseball: michigan @ unc, game 3, originally uploaded by minervacat. Five. (Carolina’s 10-1, so I can forget for a few days about Kevin Millwood’s 81.00 ERA.)
baseball: michigan @ unc, game two
baseball: michigan @unc, game two, originally uploaded by minervacat. Four. (After seeing Alice in Wonderland last night, I compared it to yesterday’s game, which should serve as a review for both of them: they were both exciting, with plenty of interesting lovely things happening, and yet somehow they both managed to be kind of boring….
the mantras @ the blind tiger
the mantras @ the blind tiger, originally uploaded by minervacat. We went out to see the Mantras last night because Keith, their frontman, and Brian, their bassist, are friends of the New Familiars, and we’ve seen Keith play with those guys in Greensboro at least a couple of time. It was — an interesting night….
