american aquarium @ tir na nog, originally uploaded by minervacat. There were things I was going to post about — how Whit (hands seen here) hates my camera and always peers at it suspiciously like it’s about to steal his soul but how it often makes for the best photos I take of American Aquarium,…

superchunk @ the cradle
superchunk @ the cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. I am, obviously, not at XXMerge this weekend — this shot is from Superchunk’s Coachella warm-up show at the Cradle this past April. (My weekend plans go baseball, show, baseball, baseball, baseball, show, but neither show is Merge-related.) Am I bummed that I’m not there? Yeah, a…
annuals @ the cat’s cradle
annuals @ the cat’s cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. Today I can’t decide what annoys me more: killer live bands who make sub-par studio albums, or great studio bands who suck live.
lost in the trees @ cat’s cradle
lost in the trees @ cat’s cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. I absolutely killed it shooting Lost in the Trees last night at the Cradle, in part because the light was great, in part because they’re all crazy-comfortable with my camera and I’m crazy-comfortable with them, in part because any 13-person indie pop chamber orchestra…

samantha crain & the midnight shivers @ the local 506, originally uploaded by minervacat. Joe Kwan (of the Avett Brothers) and Dolph Ramseur (of, well, Ramseur Records) were at the show I went to at the 506 last night. It was vaguely weird in a way I couldn’t put my finger on; it’s not like…

american aquarium @ the cat’s cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. I’m always glad when these boys come home for a while, because I miss them when they’re on the road. I miss them as people, I miss their live shows, I miss their comfort with my camera. They’re good dudes, and we had a blast…
weesefest 2009: american aquarium @ the pour house
weesefest 2009: american aquarium @ the pour house, originally uploaded by minervacat. Happy 4th of July, y’all. I recommend celebrating the independence of this country with country music, bourbon, and pies with bourbon in them, but you do what you gotta do; my word’s sure not law, or even strong suggestion.
the ginger envelope @ local 506
the ginger envelope @ local 506, originally uploaded by minervacat. Sometimes the trouble is that none of the photos I took last night look remotely the way that Matt Stoessel’s soaring pedal steel sounds in a mostly-empty 506, or feels in that soft spot under my rib cage. A lot of bands use the pedal…
drive-by truckers @ the cat’s cradle
drive-by truckers @ the cat’s cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. Another from the archives; Patterson Hood of the Drive-By Truckers at the Cat’s Cradle, May 2008. Patterson’s long-delayed second solo album, Murdering Oscar (And Other Love Songs), came out last week; I’m finally listening to it and it’s fabulous. Also, this is a film shot…
