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…

corb lund — losin’ lately gambler
the never @ duke’s von der heyden pavilion, originally uploaded by minervacat. Corb Lund & the Hurtin’ Albertans — Losin’ Lately Gambler. Out 9/21, New West. I occasionally wonder why Corb Lund and his songwriting talents aren’t more of a hit on the American pop country radio waves and in the Nashville scene, but then…
lost in the trees @ gerrard hall
lost in the trees @ gerrard hall, originally uploaded by minervacat. The shutter on Six seized up irreperably last night, mid-Lost in the Trees set, and so tomorrow she is off to Nikon to slip in under her warranty and, in all likelihood, have her CPU replaced. I had an evening’s worth of massive freaking…

I’m finding myself, this week, thinking about promotional photography pretty intensely — what makes a good promo photo, how to develop and pursue ideas and concepts in shooting promos, what I can do to make taking promos an experience that’s rewarding for me as a…
lost in the trees @ cat’s cradle
lost in the trees @ cat’s cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. Despite our best efforts to keep this as accurate as possible, the life of the touring band is fraught with danger and uncertainty. Club dates are sometimes changed due to the whims of delusional, power-hungry club owners, temperamental musicians experiencing pronounced bouts of self-doubt,…

lost in the trees @ cat’s cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. Worth getting up for in August: new Ruby Oliver novels from e. lockhart; when someone gets a music recommendation absolutely spot-on for you; discovering new depths in favorite albums; coffee coffee coffee; heavy metal covers of “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”; photos of crowd-surfing banjo…
the never @ cat’s cradle
the never @ cat’s cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. Love these boys like crazy. Jonny shredded the head on his floor tom Saturday night, and it was glorious and hilarious to watch; a perfect ending to a fantastic set. When they finally get around to finishing and releasing their next album, it’s going to be…
midtown dickens @ TRKfest 2009
midtown dickens @ TRKfest 2009, originally uploaded by minervacat. We mention our cherished nightclub, Cat’s Cradle (in Carrboro), and our indie music boom in the 1990s, when bands like Superchunk, Polvo, and the Squirrel Nut Zippers convinced hundreds of young hairy people to load their cars with guitars and amplifiers and drive to our town….
