if i put too much blood on the page If you’re already a fan of swaggering Jersey rockers the Gaslight Anthem, then you already know what Handwritten, the band’s fourth full-length and major label debut, sounds like: it sounds like the Gaslight Anthem, and it’s merely a matter of where it ends up falling on…

if she asks you why

i’ve got a theory that it’s a demon
I have a theory. (I have a lot of theories, it’s true. The most important of my theories is Everything Needs More Dave Hause, which I shall test in person this week at the Cradle, along with Everything Needs More Dave Hause Corollary #1, Everything Also Needs More Brian Fallon. But this is not about everything…
the tiny dinosaurs go on an adventure, part one
The tiny dinosaurs and I went on an adventure yesterday. My macro photography needs work, which is exactly why I bought the tiny dinosaurs to begin with. If you’d like to help fund my macro improvement, check out my donation drive, running through Friday.
an appreciation note to rusty sutton
Some time in the last month-ish, Rusty Sutton, excellent bassist, road manager for Lost In The Trees, and sound dude par excellence, installed a single white light in the front-of-stage lights at Local 506. The 506, if you can’t tell, is my favorite venue in the Triangle; I’m a regular, Glenn books impeccably, it’s walking…
girl in a coma @ local 506
I know there are a ton of bands I say this about, but Girl in a Coma really are one of my favorites to shoot — such dynamic women, such clear love for what they’re doing on stage, and such great music. I can’t go wrong shooting them, and I can’t go wrong still being…

what did you expect? an archers of loaf concert documentary
it’s always the east coast, i’m always the asshole “Freezing Point” is not necessarily my favorite Archers of Loaf song, but for some reason, it is my favorite song on last year’s gorgeous re-release of Icky Mettle, which would have been my #1 record of 2011 if it hadn’t been a re-release (I make them…
these united states @ local 506
Gorgeous set from These United States; Jesse Elliott has an amazing voice and the songwriting on the new record is stellar, even more heartwrenching live. And a wild amp-standing-solo-filled set from the Henry Clay People, who were a joy to shoot under the new light in the 506. More here, in the full set.
