death to false hope fest ii: if you had a time machine interviews
I took my tiny digital recorder, with the batteries inserted correctly this time, to DTFH Fest, and ran around asking people my favorite interview question: if you had a time machine, and could go back in time and see one show — either one you missed, or one you want to relive — what would…
death to false hope fest ii
This is the first of what will be several posts about Death To False Hope Fest II this week; some just photos, and hopefully if I manage to get it all transcribed, one full of short interviews with bands, videographers, wives, and punk fans. But this one, this one is just about my Saturday, and…

the mynabirds @ local 506
hat an amazing show. Laura Burhenn has the most phenomenal stage presence, and that voice. The 506 felt electric all night, from Raleigh’s The Design’s wild opening set to Sean Bones’ funky guitar pop to the Mynabirds’ stellar, roof-raising, wall-shaking set. Blew my mind. Full set here.
album review: jon lindsay — summer wildnerness program
Jon Lindsay — Summer Wildnerness Program. Out tomorrow. Jon Lindsay’s Summer Wilderness Program opens with a track called “Oceans More”, a track that on any other album of this title with this release day, would be a sunny, hand-clappy summer anthem — but Lindsay is best at subverting paradigms with his songwriting, and “Oceans More”…
