Sweet harmonies, summer songwriting, and three dudes who have no right to make as much glorious noise with acoustic instruments as they do. Kennebec, even as an acoustic trio, has such a huge and full sound, I am dreaming of finally getting to hear them electric, with a rhythm section. They were tremendous on Friday…

the magnolia collective @ the station
What do you do when you see the same band, every month, at the same venue? And they’re a band you love, but there’s only so many photos of Mimi’s fantastic shoes that you can take? A dedication to local music pushes me as a photographer; I have to find a way to get new…
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…
this is a photo of a cat in a bag
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.
