Out last night to catch Birds & Arrows playing the middle set on a three band bill; Andrea was nice enough to put me on the list and the 506 was nice enough to (accidentally, I think) leave two tiny white lights on during the sets, mitigating the red-and-pink of the usual scheme and neutralizing…

What a difference a year makes.
what you own
Today the history of photography podcast that I listen to harped a lot on shooting what you love, what inspires you, so behind the jump, a handful of concert shots from 2009 that I haven’t posted yet. No commentary — just six shots, including the one of Micah above, that make me happy.

american aquarium @ the pour house, originally uploaded by minervacat. This is for Martha, who picked out the photo, and for Chris. Two years ago tomorrow, I went out to the 506 with t. We were there to see the Prayers and Tears of Arthur Digby Sellers (Perry, cough up that new album now!), who…

langhorne slim @ the cat’s cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. Langhorne played a great set. “Back to the Wild” is a perfect opener, and the setlist was a good mix of old stuff and tracks from the new album, including my personal favorite “Diamonds and Gold”. I was disappointed not to hear Be Set Free…

Out to see Blitzen Trapper and Wye Oak last night; Blitzen Trapper were super enjoyable, but Wye Oak was the amazing surprise of the evening.

Behind the jump, a thousand words in words and seven thousand in photos on Bristol, Tennessee. (This is long; sorry! In my defense, it’ll probably be the longest thing I ever post on here.)

american aquarium @ the pour house, originally uploaded by minervacat. what do you know about me other than what you can see Friday night, American Aquarium dusted off the title track from their first album, a song I never thought I’d get to hear live, and it was as wonderful as it could have been…
boulder acoustic society @ local 506
boulder acoustic society @ local 506, originally uploaded by minervacat. Brent Best, who I firmly believe is a certified crazy motherfucker but who can write a song like nobody’s business, actually went and got his ex-band Slobberbone back together for a week’s worth of out-of-state reunion shows. I saw mentions of those shows elsewhere on…
