RTP-area local music and culture

[grady <grady AT ibiblio.org>]

Also MIA:

Blackstrap (supposedly gonna show up any day now & will be on the 2005 
list, I reckon)
Wigg Report (in my hot little hands, but missed the deadline to get 
playlisted in 2004, since we kinda shut down in the last half of December)
Nathan Asher & the Infantry (I've read about it in the Indy, but that's 
all I know)
My Dear Ella (they sent us a copy ages & ages ago, while they were still 
shopping for a label, & at the time we had agreed that Eric would let us 
know when it was actually 'released', & we'd playlist it then, but I 
never heard back. Is it too late?)
Choose Yr Own Adventure's 2nd CD of the two-parter showed up in my 
personal PO Box the other day, so hopefully it'll hit XDU sometime soon.

Indy also claims we're due for a Fake Swedish album any day now, which 
is good news for me, at least; they're my fave 60s 
Stones/Faces-influenced local rockband.

Bands: that address again is WXDU, PO Box 90689, Durham, NC 27708. 
Please do yrself a favor & don't rely on 'the label' or 'the press guy' 
to send us your CD; they are slackasses, slacker even than you.
