August was pretty well a spectacular shitshow of epic proportions, but there were a few good things. Worth getting up for in August: surprise last minute sets from Micah Schnabel; the Cowboy, just in general, because I’m stupid fond of him; vintage dresses on Etsy; advances from Bloodshot records; working with the Bottom String; big…

rock me like a hurricane
I like to think that in 30 years, some 20-something woman will love my photos of the Cowboy the way that I love Elliot Landy’s photos of Rick Danko.
locally grown: future islands @ wallace plaza
I like wild electronic noise, and both Future Islands (top two) and Motor Skills (bottom two) do that very, very well.
ben and christi’s wedding
Gorgeous couple, gorgeous ceremony, gorgeous day.
micah schnabel @ tir na nog
There aren’t a lot of people for whom I’d drive to Raleigh, to see them play a 45 minute set, on a weeknight; maybe four or five bands of the 2500 in my iTunes, and two or three solo acts to boot. But Micah Schnabel (and his band Two Cow Garage) is one of them,…

More behind the jump, and the rest here.

baseball: red wings @ bulls
Twenty-one. I love being a Triple A area for a lot of reasons, but mostly for rehab starts. Last night out with the Film Critic, the game featured 100% more Justin Morneau than usual.
HONKY @ local 506
Remember when Pam sent me to a hardcore show, only she didn’t tell me it was a hardcore show and then I had a really great time anyway? (The first and only time I saw a show at the late, sometimes great, now departed Brewery! Which is a shame, because the Brewery was the only…
