Urge Overkill, live at Slim's

Following yesterday's downtown live show in Moore Square, Urge Overkill played another set for a customer appreciation party at Slim's. Here are four movies from the show. Go here to see the photos.

Every time I go to Slim's, I end up sitting in that booth up top, looking down at the album covers on the wall. The German Folk Songs album always catches my eye, so I thought I'd take a picture of it.

Pics and movies from Two Dollar Pistols and Hearts and Daggers

Two Dollar Pistols put on a great show last night at The Pour House. Watch out for a podcast on them, featuring new stuff, a short interview with John Howie Jr., and a treat for those who remember Howie's old band Finger. Check out the movies from last night.

Opening were Hearts and Daggers (Myspace), who impressed me just as much last night as they did when I first saw them back in March. Actually, the opening band were The Bo-Stevens (Myspace), who I enjoyed more than when I saw them the first time earlier this year.

My first Raleigh Bloggers meetup

Last night I went to my first Raleigh Bloggers Meetup at Cafe Cyclo. Had a great time talking to cool new people about podcasting, using Audacity, social networking sites and more. I also got links to several new blogs you should check out, including a new local music blog:


taprootradio.com -- Specializing in roots rock, alt.country, deep blues and early soul. The blooger is local, but the music isn't.

joshstaiger.org/ -- Personal blog of Josh Staiger. He also heads up the Meetup.

jacksonfox.org -- A blog about interface design for Web developers

webdevradio.com -- Podcast on Web development

rollerweblogger.org Open source blog server

ryanirelan.com -- Personal and professional blog. Ryan also runs Podcast Free America, which offers advice and information for podcasters of all skill levels.

I also got word today of another Raleigh-based music blog, hickorywind.org, which, as you might expect, is devoted to Americana.
