I don’t talk much about TV on here, because frankly no one but my friend Amy wants to hear my feelings about how Nick Burkhardt on Grimm is a moron (and I’m continually about six episodes behind in Justified), but I’ve just watched the Amazon Prime pilot of BOSCH — based loosely on City of…
concert: texoma @ motorco music hall
The Cowboy is playing in yet another band, and as he and I had a bit of business to settle yesterday, I headed over to Durham to check out Texoma, the latest project fronted by Zach Terry, late of various Triangle projects like the Whiskey Smugglers and Gambling the Muse. Despite being only a few…
book review: a whole new ballgame – caryn rose
Last Saturday I was sitting at Trav’s dining room table, eating scrambled eggs and bacon, and talking about — something. Something that was in all likelihood not related to baseball at all. Definitely not this book. Something that prompted me to say, “Hold on, I need to see who’s on the Astros’ top ten prospects,”…
concert: panic! at the disco @ the tabernacle, atlanta, GA
Panic! at the Disco broke the Tabernacle in Atlanta on Saturday, and I was there.
families: a & b, future models

on pete seeger and the expression of joy
I remember, very clearly, the Maternal Unit buying the double cassette tape version of Pete Seeger & Arlo Guthrie’s Precious Friend, a 1981 live compilation of Seeger and Guthrie touring together. (Details on the record itself are here.) She bought it at the little record store that used to be on the first floor of…
preview: panic at the disco on tour / too weird to live too rare to die
Panic! at the Disco’s fourth albums opens with a fuzzy, electronic plea; it sounds nothing like anything else they’ve ever done, and then it explodes into Brendon Urie’s unmistakeable voice and a chorus crying that this is the beat of my heart. Urie lets it all out on the line if you love me, let…
album review: curtis eller’s american circus — how to make it in hollywood
Curtis Eller immediately captivated me a few years ago when he moved back to the Triangle after a number of years in Brooklyn; his songs were a mix of the macabre and the historical, the morbid and the hilarious, and his stage presence was the sort that you couldn’t take your eyes from. How To…
album review: thea gilmore – regardless
Unless you hung out with a particular batch of Carleton College alums in the early aughts, and thus hung out with my badass friend Rosie, you might not know British singer/songwriter Thea Gilmore — you probably don’t, in fact. Rosie introduced me to Thea in 2003, with a copy of Loft Music — Thea’s excellent…

More punk in 2014.
