Love Language video and a note on an art party

The Love Language are a very good local band with a terrific new album.  The excellent Triangle Music blog has a post on the band here.   Excellent stuff! 


The Love Language - Heart to Tell from Merge Records on Vimeo.

One reason I mention it is that they will playing this Saturday night, November 6th, for the after party for the Ackland Museum's Silver Factory Gala  celebrating the museum's exhibit of Warhol Polaroids. The after party is at the Top of the Hill, downtown Chapel Hill.

Calling all area visual artists!

The Town of Carrboro Arts Committee is always on the lookout for artists to show in our venues at the Town Hall and the Century Center.  More often than not we feature up-and-coming artists but we'll show an established artist occasionally.  The application process is very simple.  Go the Town Arts Committee page for more info and the application forms. 

Now a music and art post

Thursday night (September 16th) on the lawn at the Nasher Museum on the Duke west campus local favorites Superchunk will debut their new and excellent new CD "Majesty Shredding."  This is part of an exhibit at the Nasher called The Record: Contemporary Art and Vinyl.

The Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University presents a groundbreaking exhibition that explores the culture of vinyl records through 50 years of contemporary art.

The Record: Contemporary Art and Vinyl features work by 41 artists from around the world, from the 1960s to the present, who use vinyl records as subject or medium. The exhibition includes sound work, sculpture, installation, drawing, painting, photography, video and performance.

The Record includes rising stars in the contemporary art world (William Cordova, Robin Rhode, Dario Robleto), outsider artists (Mingering Mike), well-established artists (Jasper Johns, Ed Ruscha, Carrie Mae Weems) and artists whose work will be shown in a U.S. museum for the first time (Kevin Ei-ichi deForest, Jeroen Diepenmaat, Taiyo Kimura, Lyota Yagi).
