brian fallon @ the black cat
the gaslight anthem @ cat’s cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat.

the physics of meaning @ nightlight, originally uploaded by minervacat. Got to catch the Physics of Meaning (and Perry Wright, who is still singing songs about the Jonestown Massacre ♥) last night; tPoM are nominally locals but Daniel Hart, frontman and brains, spent most of 2009 on tour with St. Vincent, so they don’t play…
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.
