I guess the thing that got me is that its written right after the N&O put out
the local great 8 (they are in the same newspaper). I guess she thought all
of the picks sorta stunk as well as everything else written in the Indy.. And
from the 1st few paragraphs make it clear she is not just unhappy with the
Cary scene.. I just don't know what this guy she loves so much has to do '90s
buzz in Chapel Hill.. I can understand why the Rovers sorta stink to a
Nashville transplant living in Cary.. but man did she listen to Bull City or
Bowerbirds etc..?
I know its pointless to try to understand.. so I'll second Grady's take..

1st few paragraphs of article..
"I’m gonna come right out and say it. The local music scene around here sort
of stinks.Sure, there’s the Cat’s Cradle in Carrboro that gets the bulk of
the area’s good tours, Local 506 down the street in Chapel Hill to take care
of the smaller acts, and I suppose Lincoln Theatre in downtown Raleigh has
its moments.
But where are our great local bands? There was buzz in the ’90s that Chapel
Hill was to be the next Seattle.
I think that’s why I get so excited when someone like James..... comes along."
