Old Craig Zearfoss videos on myspace!

The Triangle's original rock documentarian, Craig Zearfoss, has put some of his old Z-TV videos -- including some of my old band, Chew Toy, on Myspace. Check them out, and relive the early '90s in Chapel Hill.

"Terrible Love" finally on Youtube!

Check out the video that Yak Productions (Spencey and Johnny Pontiac) did for Richard Bacchus and the Luckiest Girls' "Terrible Love," and see how many Slim's regulars you recognize!

Videos from The Lonely H and Sikamor Rooney!

I've decided that rain is the worst thing that could happen to a band playing in Raleigh. Seriously, Raleigh rockers will brave snow, sleet or just freezing cold, but if it rains, they stay the hell home. This fact of life was not good for either The Lonely H or Sikamor Rooney, both of whom soldiered on through great sets to a sparse crowd at Slim's on a Sunday night. The first time I saw The Lonely H, I thought they were amazing. The second time, I thought they were struggling to make up for the loss of their second guitarist. Last night, they were back to amazing. It's too bad only a few of us saw them. Here's Video of "The Meal": New York's Sikamor Rooney probably appreciated the low-key vibe because they played sitting down, due to some sort of exhaustion from the night before. I think it worked for them. Check out the video for "I'll Level with You." See more photos here!

Win a night on the town from Random Thoughts!

Though I dare say, $100 won't touch the bar tabs of some people I know. Check out the Random Thoughts blog.

A fun, then weird night in downtown Raleigh

First things first, someone followed me as I drove home from downtown last night. I had the good sense not to drive home, but what I should have done was call 911. If you know me on myspace, the details are there. Just be careful when you're walking or driving down there late at night. Now, on to the fun part of the evening. The Suburban Sweethearts (pictured above) totally rocked Slim's last night. My understanding is that the most recent indy compared them to The James Gang and Foghat. I don't hear that at all. Instead I hear a whole lot of MC5 with some Flamin' Groovies thrown in. Check out the video from the show. Opening band The Booze, from Atlanta, was an awesome, tight homage to the Nuggets box set, and they're all snappy dressers too. Check out the video for "Hey Amy." More photos here.
