the old ceremony “walk on thin air” cd release party, originally uploaded by minervacat. (This shot is from February, not last night.) I realized, standing in the audience at the Cradle last night, that I really give these guys a much shorter shrift than they deserve, at least in terms of local bands I adore….
charleston, south carolina
charleston, south carolina, originally uploaded by minervacat. No inspiration again this week; to be honest, I’m not feeling very inspired at this point in time. For example, last night I couldn’t fall asleep and then when I finally did, I slept badly; and I miss Six; and I’m just generally feeling a little anxious and…
baseball: uva @ unc, game 2
baseball: uva @ unc, game 2, originally uploaded by minervacat. In a few years, Allah willing, this boy will wear pinstripes in the major leagues and maybe he will win championships, and I will love him just as well then as I did when he wore Carolina blue, which was pretty much the best. Congratulations…
there are some cheerful motherfuckers
there are some cheerful motherfuckers, originally uploaded by minervacat. A year ago feels like five, today. I’m not sure how I ended up where I am, but I think I’m okay with it.
molina & johnson — self-titled
trekky records christmas at the cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. Molina & Johnson — self-titled. Out today on Secretly Canadian. One of my favorite things in the world is when musicians I enjoy enjoy the company of other musicians I enjoy. For example, it delights me immensely whenever Mike Doughty and Rhett Miller twitter at each…
durham be easy: language arts
durham be easy: language arts, originally uploaded by minervacat. This is for Martha. Friday night’s Holy Ghost show was the 81st show I’ve seen this year (there are 78 of them here, and three (to date) that I didn’t shoot), and while most of them have been in standard venues — bars with stages, stages…
worth getting up for: october
two cow garage @ local 506, originally uploaded by minervacat. Worth getting up for in October: the North Carolina State Fair; a proliferation of excellent national touring acts coming through the CH in specific and the NC at large; the word proliferation; dreaming of road trips; federal holidays1; the new Big Star box set, Keep…
holy ghost tent revival @ local 506
holy ghost tent revival @ local 506, originally uploaded by minervacat. In the last year, I’ve seen these boys an absurd number of times, in more than a dozen venues spread across three states; I’ve hung out with them in the studio, and while they played chess and put cats on producers’ heads and watched…
holy ghost tent revival @ trekky records studio
holy ghost tent revival @ trekky records studio, originally uploaded by minervacat. These boys are unofficially officially releasing their new EP at the 506 tonight, so an old shot from the time I spent in the studio with them this spring. Those couple of days were some of the most fun I’ve had working this…
lost in the trees @ gerrard hall
lost in the trees @ gerrard hall, originally uploaded by minervacat. The shutter on Six seized up irreperably last night, mid-Lost in the Trees set, and so tomorrow she is off to Nikon to slip in under her warranty and, in all likelihood, have her CPU replaced. I had an evening’s worth of massive freaking…
