We had a house show. It was a lot of fun, and you should have come. Even more photos on Flickr.

song share: the head and the heart – shake
After several listens, I think I’m pretty into the new Head and the Heart song. I am definitely into the bass line. But Adam and I are still talking about it, so I will probably have more feelings later. That’s why you should have good friends who are also music nerds: you can talk out…
worth getting up for in september
Worth getting up for in September: Hopscotch Music Festival and Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion; the Orioles making the playoffs; Beasley’s Chicken & Honey, and the mac and cheese at the Busy Bee; visiting with old friends; Jesse Thorn’s deeply serious correction-slash-apology on the 9/10 episode of Jordan Jesse Go!, regarding believing that Jim Thome…
these united states @ local 506
Gorgeous set from These United States; Jesse Elliott has an amazing voice and the songwriting on the new record is stellar, even more heartwrenching live. And a wild amp-standing-solo-filled set from the Henry Clay People, who were a joy to shoot under the new light in the 506. More here, in the full set.

I wasn’t certain, however,…
blitzen trapper @ cat’s cradle

beach house — teen dream
trekky records christmas at the cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. Beach House — Teen Dream. Out 1/26, Sub Pop. Beach House makes this variety of stripped-down-but-not indie electro-dream-pop that I forget how much I love for long stretches of time. Wow, what a great opening, huh? Anyway: this is a great album. Drifty, vaguely haunting,…
