![[review] Veelee – The Future Sight](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3374041_lg.jpg)
mp3: Veelee - "When You Gonna Come Home?" by Brian Tucker In two years the Chapel Hill duo of Matthew Park and Ginger Wagg, known by the playful moniker Veelee , has released an EP and their new semi full-length The Future Sight . Having played with The Love Language and Superchunk in that time, with The Future Sight they've made one of the year's most engaging and magnetic albums. Recorded at home The Future Sight is a harmonious, ambient hook-heavy album. Wagg and Park both sing, complimenting each wonderfully, each sharing a [...]
A Kite and Its String created with Google Maps Featuring three large universities (UNC-Chapel Hill, N.C. State, and Duke U.) and 10 other colleges and community colleges, the cities of Chapel Hill, Raleigh, and Durham form "The Triangle" area of North Carolina. For many years, the Triangle region has served as a hot bed for indie rock, and is often underrated when compared to the likes of Athens and Austin. Like these other southern university cities, the Triangle is famous for a confluence of music styles [...]

Here is our regular round up of the best of January's posts plus a couple of new tracks for your listening pleasure - all beautifully designed to make one perfect mixtape. Download Wooden Wand – The DNR Waltz mp3 More classic down-tempo folk from greatly underrated MM fave.

We going to be bouncing around Milwaukee venues on Saturday night. In addition to the Kneel to Neil benefit at Linneman's , we're also looking forward to checking out the bands at Bay View Brewhaus .

If you're thinking about heading out on Saturday night, get there early to check out Clean Hands . [...]
The annual Troika Music Festival starts tonight, and I'm super excited about it. Thought I'd give yall a quick preview of some of the shows I'm going to see tonight. I'll be catching three acts all at the same venue. First up, Old Bricks . To be honest, I haven't listened to too much of their music. But what I have heard is nice, fitting for the colder weather. This song off their latest album, Bastard Colors, released through local [...]

Butterflies - "Goodbye (Like a Stranger)" Download Next is Gray Young , whose album "Staysail" will be out on 307 Knox next Friday (Oct. 23). [...]
Years ago I spent three weeks living on a farm in Saxapahaw, and came to the conclusion then that, despite popular belief, it's actually a hell of a lot hotter in the country than it is in a city. I thought about that Saturday at TRK Fest while witnessing several local musicians, and a whole lot of local music fans, on the verge of passing out due to heat exhaustion. Poor Ryan Gustafson (below) looked like he was just going to melt up on stage. The only good thing I can say about the heat is [...]
As promised, here are the videos from Tuesday's music.mync.com showcase for Cherry Bounc e. This show was good for me because I got to see two bands I'd heard a bit about, but hadn't seen. The first video was from Veelee , who I think have a lot of potential but need to tighten up, especially on the drums. Veelee from Mann's World on Vimeo . [...]
Just a quick note to say I caught Veelee and A mericans in France at last night's music.mync.com showcase for Cherry Bounce at Slim's. I enjoyed them both, Americans in France more so. Would have loved to have seen Gray Young , but it was past my bedtime. I'll add videos and more details later. Right now here's a photo as a quick tease.
