If this had just been a Lucero set in High Point, I’d probably have skipped it — rolled my eyes at their booker and stayed home to drink beer and watch the Olympics. But Lucero and Glossary? Oh, hell, no, I wasn’t missing that. Glossary put out one of the finest albums of 2008 for…
college baseball opening day, 2010
acc baseball tournament: duke vs. unc, originally uploaded by minervacat. I love this shot. I love the stillness of Colin Bates — hands on his hat — amongst the motion of his teammates and the fans in the stands around him. I think it’s probably tacky to love your own photos as much as I…

reckless kelly — somewhere in time
holy ghost tent revival @ the pour house, originally uploaded by minervacat. Reckless Kelly — Somewhere In Time. Out 2/8, Yep Roc Records. I was glad that I had a series of topical posts come up this week, because I’ve been dragging my feet on thinking about Reckless Kelly’s new release, which dropped Tuesday. I…
holy ghost tent revival @ the pour house
holy ghost tent revival @ the pour house, originally uploaded by minervacat. You guys are probably one of the only cities that understands what that’s like. ‘Cause you — the city of DC, from what I’ve read, in certain books, you nurture your own bands, you go see your own bands. If they’re local, you…
