August And Everything After is 17 years old this year. I think, for a lot of people close to my age, that album was formative. I was 13 when it came out. I loved it relentlessly and fiercely and as though it was something entirely my own, despite the fact that the video for “Mr….
chatham county line cd release show for ‘wildwood’
There’s no doubt in my mind that Chatham County Line are one of the best traditional bluegrass bands working today; even more so because they’re much more than a trad bluegrass outfit. They’re a group of guys who know the lineage their music comes from, and who recognize and draw from that, all while being…

baseball: norfolk tides @ durham bulls, originally uploaded by minervacat. Thirty three. The depressing thing about watching the Tides, besides them getting absolutely spanked by the Bulls, is knowing that these are the guys who still aren’t good enough to play on the really, really terrible Orioles. Sigh. My ball club, ladies and gentleman. We’re…

baseball: gwinnett braves @ durham bulls, july ’10
baseball: gwinnett braves @ durham bulls, july ’10, originally uploaded by minervacat. Thirty two. I think seeing the Gwinnett Braves play would be more interesting if I cared more about their big club and knew more about their farm system. But I don’t. Apparently this kid, Jordan Schafer, is a big deal. He appears to…

baseball: louisville bats (reds) @ durham bulls (rays), originally uploaded by minervacat. Thirty one. I am terribly fond of the Durham Bulls; it pleases me to see so many guys who came through Durham doing so well in Tampa Bay right now. (Except for Matt Joyce, who is hitting .206. But I still love him.)…
