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…

the low anthem @ the cat’s cradle
the low anthem @ the cat’s cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. Do the new blogging rules mean I have to tell y’all this? Anyway: Kristin from Warner/Atlantic/Elektra very kindly guest-listed me for the show last night; Southeastern Camera in Raleigh supplied the camera body (that was at a cost to me, at least) as Six…
the old ceremony “walk on thin air” cd release party
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….

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…
mike doughty @ the arts center
mike doughty @ the arts center, originally uploaded by minervacat. My favorite Doughty song is his cover of “Looks”. The first Doughty-penned song I ever loved was “Circles” and the solo song that hooked me post-Soul Coughing was “Grey Ghost”. But the opening lines of “Unsingable Name” — i want to be your absolute ultimate/want…

mike doughty @ the cat’s cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. Mike Doughty — Sad Man Happy Man. Out 10/6, ATO Records. I held off on reviewing this because I knew that I was seeing Doughty on a Tuesday; what better day to talk about his new album than a day I’m going to see him?…

mason jennings @ the cat’s cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. Heather wrote a great post about an old old old school Mason Jennings bootleg over at Fuel/Friends on Sunday, and a) it got me digging out all my old Mason boots and b) realizing that I could kick in a little about that show in…
built to spill @ cat’s cradle
built to spill @ cat’s cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. I could seriously watch Doug Martsch noodle around on his guitar forever and not get bored. He’s such an odd, awkward frontman, and yet simultaneously fantastically compelling when he gets behind a mic — actually, seeing Martsch made me wonder if some of Matt Berninger’s…
