Article by me in the News & Observer on blogging.

You can find lots of responses from some of the folks I interviewed, as well as info on the RTP bloggers on Bruce and Katy Loebrich's site.

Upcoming shows I plan to see, and maybe write about here:

Roxotica (photos from Ross Grady's trianglerock.com). Saturday, Feb. 8 at Ringside.
Can't wait to see this one -- chick rockers and NWOBHM. What else do you need? The only thing possibly better might be the all-female Iron Maiden tribute band I keep hearing so much about.

The Datsuns, Wednesday, March 19, at Cat's Cradle.

Sahara Hotnights, same week at the Datsuns at the Cradle. Can't remember the date right not, and it's not on the Cradle site.

Still hoping QOTSA will be moved from Lincoln Theatre to the Ritz.

Links to bands and other music stuff I like:

The Hellacopters (even though I'm not that fond of their new CD, "By the Grace of God")


Gluecifer, an excellent band from Norway.

Here's a cool Thin Lizzy Web site that was started at UNC-Greensboro back in 1994!

Adam West

Mensen (I actually haven't heard them yet, but I always make an effort to support chick bands.)

Lynyrd Skynyrd


They may look like Brian May, but they'll never be as cool as he is.

The Best Band in the World

All Night, from Greensboro; one of the best bands in North Carolina right now, tied with The Needles (Wilmington) and The Loners (Raleigh).
