RTP-area local music and culture

I recently reviewed a Warner Bros release for a online publication- WB 
said they'd send a promo, but as the release date neared, no promo was 
forthcoming. So I worked from a leak. Review ran on the official release 
day. Amusingly, I got my package from Warners the very same day, like 
they were figuring, "online mag, no lead time needed", and carefully 
allowed it to leave the mailroom at a specified moment. It came in a 
12x12" box, and I was a giddy that they may have sent me the vinyl. Now 
that's some copy protection I could live with!

Alas, the LP mailer was just there to accommodate a weird rockstar 
trapper keeper with all the lyrics printed on colored cardstock- even 
though the lyrics were in the little booklet that came with the 
digital-audio-buggywhip.
