I never, ever get tired of watching people I love do really amazing things; and I never, ever get tired of shooting hip hop, because it’s something I don’t do often; so I really love when my nerdcore rapper friends come to town, because I get to watch people I love do amazing things they…

magnolia collective @ local 506
This is me resolving that, in 2013, I will leave the house more and be a hermit less, especially when it comes to local music, because my friends are really talented and seeing them play makes me really happy, even when I unintentionally do dumb things at their shows. They also take care of me…
no friends tour 2012
I love when I get to watch people I love be awesome. I mean, of course, it happens all the time here, because so many musicians I love, but somehow it’s even better and more magical when it’s out-of-town friends being awesome. Adam WarRock and Tribe One, plus Mikal Khill and Jesse Dangerously, rocked the…
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…

race wars: touring out of my comfort zone

But last year, Euge was touring comic book stores behind his (spectacular) debut LP The War For Infinity, and his first booking was Chapel Hill Comics…

30 in 30
I’ve written about my friend Michelle a lot before; she gave me my first SLR out of the goodness of her heart, she runs an amazing photography grant, she’s funny and brilliant and wicked, she’s the best mom I know after my own, she’s been one of my biggest cheerleaders and best friends as I…
deserves a quiet night
Anyone who doesn’t know that I spend a ridiculous amount of time listening to, thinking about, talking about and writing about music really, really hasn’t been paying attention. I will talk about music, and why I love it, and musicians I’m fixating on, and how it makes me feel, with anyone who will listen. That…
yanks @ o’s, 2007
yanks @ o’s, originally uploaded by minervacat. When I was small — single-digited, in fact — my father taught me how to keep a baseball scorecard. I like to tell people that it was so I would sit still at games, and pay attention, but I think it was really because he knew how, and…
