Norfolk and Western

Northfolk and Western 1
Originally uploaded by mearse.

fantastic show at higher ground last night. both bands, northfolk and western and devotchka played great sets.

norfolk and western were much more electric and loud than other times i have seen them - great blend of songwriting, sonic dissonence and instrumentation... i was glad there was no melodica or hand-clapping. (the last four or five bands i have seen had both)
they also covered neil young (heart of gold) about three minutes after i mentioned that adam was playing like him, which rocked.

basically i left the show wanting to be in portland even more than i do on any given day.

there are some more photos on the flickr site... and more to come at some point.

Burlington Grid Project?

I found this link:

http://www.portlandgridproject.com/

The city was divided up into grids and then distributed to tons of photographers to capture.

Here are some examples. I think I want to get this started in Burlington. It would be a great community creation.
