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…
patterns #8
patterns #8, originally uploaded by minervacat. The carpet in a Courtyard Marriott in Savannah, Georgia.

It’s my standard meeting-notes-margin doodle….

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…
jonny’s birthday party
jonny’s birthday party, originally uploaded by minervacat. An unexpectedly nice thing about Jonny’s birthday party last weekend was being in a casual social setting with people who are comfortable enough with my camera — from having it pointed at them on stage regularly, or seeing me point it at a stage — that they mostly…
jonny’s birthday party
jonny’s birthday party, originally uploaded by minervacat. “The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman…
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.
