And now for something completely different (and musical): the Carolina Chocolate Drops are one of my favorite local bands. They are sustaining and updating the African American string band tradition. They were recently interviewed on Fresh Air, which you can listen to here: [link]
Plus! One of them is married to a Buffista (Darth)!
They'll be in NYC next week on 3/14: [link]
Check 'em out!
Hey! I heard that Fresh Air interview and immediately wondered if any of the NC buffistas knew them. Awesome. That interview was very entertaining.
Darth! I wish he were still here.
Yay Trudy!
Y'all! I just ran into Darth! I conjured him with the power of my MIND.
...I should do that more often.
Okay, finally actually listening-listening to all of
1372 Overton Park
(yeah, yeah) and wow. Did Ben fall in love with The Hold Steady while I wasn't looking? Not that I'm complaining, but two songs made me double-take.
Could you conjure me a sexay man with your mind?
