 We all use numbers, every day. Like today, since Bull City are on the Raleigh News & Observer's list of 8 Great Triangle Bands To Watch in 2008. Quoth the N&O's David Menconi: "There is much to admire about Bull City, particularly ex-Dillon Fence drummer Scott Carle's time-keeping, guitarist John Kurtz's effortless playing and the overall level of songcraft. But the most impressive part is how well the pieces fit together on Bull City's debut mini-album, 'Guns & Butter,' a mixture of jingle-jangle catchiness and blues-rock whomp..." Read the rest of the review, watch a video interview, listen to a pair of tracks from Guns & Butter or just download the nifty wallpaper pictured above at the N&O site And speaking of late reviews, Lee Feldman's 2007 platter I've Forgotten Everything received the prestigious Five Bagels (with whitefish) rating in a lengthy review at Lucid Culture yesterday. "Impeccably and tersely produced, this album has cult classic written all over it. Shame on us for taking so long to review it. Five bagels. With whitefish. Because its full of mercury and makes you forget everything." Read more... (See, we didn't make that particular ratings metric up.) |

Urban Myth artistes Bull City and Dan Bryk have both been voted by the music writers of the Raleigh Independent to The Triangle's best 35 songs of 2007 list: Bull City for their epic track Game and Bryk for his quasi-jingle Discount Store. This dropkicks 'em alongside many of our local faves: Bowerbirds, Future Kings of Nowhere, Hammer No More The Fingers, Red Collar, Schooner, and (winner of the UM office pool for best band name of 2007) I Was Totally Destroying It. Yaaaaay to everyone who didn't make the list too. Download the mixtape of all 35 tracks here and discover why they still call Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill "not a bad place for music." |

No, really. Interview with Bryk in today's Daily Tar Heel. Bryk is chuffed to be opening for T-Dot local heroes The Golden Dogs at Local 506 next Monday Nov. 19th. In Kevin Bacon terms: Bryk played in The American Flag with Paul Aucoin, who produced the Golden Dogs new CD "Big Eye Little Eye", which was released in Canada by True North Records (label home of former Bryk drummer Howie Beck) and in the US by local NC label Yep Roc. Dave and Jessica from The Dogs sing backups on The Bicycles "The Good The Bad and the Cuddly", which was produced by... Bryk. |
