holy ghost tent revival @ the pour house, originally uploaded by minervacat. You guys are probably one of the only cities that understands what that’s like. ‘Cause you — the city of DC, from what I’ve read, in certain books, you nurture your own bands, you go see your own bands. If they’re local, you…

…soihadto… @ local 506, originally uploaded by minervacat. I had a brief (we got derailed by other things) but interesting conversation over IM, about the definition of the term “side project”, with Ash over the weekend1, which is appropriate today, because of the band I saw last night. Technically, if you are into getting technical,…
dylan vs petty covers benefit for haiti
dylan vs petty: big fat gap, originally uploaded by minervacat. My plan for today was to post several Tom Petty and Bob Dylan covers, in honor of the Dylan vs. Petty Haiti benefit show that we attended last night, but it turns out that in my enormous collection of covers, I actually have very few…

the new familiars @ the blind tiger, originally uploaded by minervacat. It’s rare that I forget how much I love a band, but if I go a while between instances of seeing them live, sometimes I will forget how great someone is live. And that went for the New Familiars; I hadn’t seen them since…

the gaslight anthem @ cat’s cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. There’s no doubt that the Gaslight Anthem’s The ’59 Sound is an incredible album, from start to finish; it deserved every piece of raving praise that it received at the end of 2008 and I’m desperately excited for their next release. They also put on…

The function of music is to release us from conscious thought. — Sir Thomas Beecham From top to bottom, the Drive-By Truckers, Josh Ritter, Wye Oak; three artists I’ve shot before, three artists I’m hoping to shoot again this year.
single artist cover albums!
drive-by truckers two-night stand at the cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. This week at work I’m listening to a huge playlist on shuffle; songs rated four or five stars that I haven’t heard in three months. Today, Adam Sandler doing “Werewolves of London” kicked up, and it got me thinking. I love a good cover…
