Behind the jump are more photos of a cat in a bag. That is the sum total of this post.

chatham county line @ cat’s cradle
Chatham County Line sounded so fantastic last night; intense and joyous and fierce. They remain one of my favorite live acts to see, and it was a pleasure to get to shoot them so up close and personal. (Muchas gracias to Dave and to Dan Dan The Taping Man for the ticket.) Justin Robinson &…
more search strings, summer edition
Because the internet exists, I continue to get great search strings. Behind the jump, people were seriously concerned about booze at the ACC tournament (it was there!), interested in goats, and just plain weird.
girls like us
I finished Sheila Weller’s Girls Like Us last week, and it was spectacular, but, man, it also made me really mad. I understand that it was the emotional atmosphere of the time that Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon and Carole King were getting there start, but all of these smart, capable, infinitely talented women got slapped around…
the lusitania @ motorco music hall
First up, an open letter: dear the Lusitania, I am really, really sorry that y’all had such a shitass time with the sound at your show last night, because playing at Motorco is usually way way way more fun than you guys had. If it helps, and it probably doesn’t, you sounded fantastic from where…
washed up
The Alpha Site went to the beach on Friday, and I took pictures of beach implements abandoned by their humans. Also this rad tsunami warning sign. RUN, LITTLE SIGN GUY, THE TSUNAMI’S GOING TO GET YOU. Anyway: behind the jump, an impromptu series I’m calling Washed Up.
worth getting up for: july
Worth getting up for in July: new sushi restaurants; press passes; promo shoots; a clear mind and big ideas; visiting the lovely lady H. and Dr. N in West Virginia, and the sheer staggering beauty and color of the area they live in; Angry Birds Seasons; Patricia Briggs’ Mercy Thompson novels, Sheila Weller’s Girls Like…
onward soldiers @ nightlight
On the face, this was a strange line-up: Wilmington’s sharp Americana-pop songwriters Onward, Soldiers, with the Triangle’s rockers Effingham and garage-psych trio the Pneurotics, but you know what? It did. Effingham’s Jeremy Blair writes songs with a hook and a pop sensibility if not necessarily a pop sound, and with the collaboration of Magnolia Collective…
locally grown: holy ghost tent revival
my heart was yours, honey what’s mine was yours, honey but that was only for a while
josh ritter @ the cat’s cradle
if there’s a book of jubilations, we’ll have to write it for ourselves I believe in rock and roll as a religion. I believe that if you close your eyes and tilt your head back, the right live music is capable of transformation and transportation. I believe in the church of effects pedals and goosebumps…
