RTP-area local music and culture

[grady <grady AT ibiblio.org>]

At some point Marisa moved from NYC to London, which means that a few 
minutes ago I read a reference to "UK-based magazine 'Sup," which 
startled me out of my Monday-morning stupor.

They've just published issue 18, and must be somewhere near a 10-year 
anniversary.

It's all online at http://www.supmag.com

Parts of it are still kinda clueless, tho:

"Anyway, I digress -- back to Sunday night in Durham. Another thing I 
couldn't understand was: "Why Durham, rather than Carrboro, clearly the 
indie rock center of the North Carolina?" I was reluctant to drag my 
lazy ass the 10 miles to the venue just to see a lackluster performance 
from Spoon, and I admit it was the lure of meeting Britt Daniel and 
shooting the interview with him that drew me more than the prospect of 
the music to follow. After the interview, nearly an hour was spent just 
walking around downtown Durham to find some food, to no avail. For 
Chrissakes -- what a wasteland."

Couldn't find food in Durham, clearly the foodie center of the North 
Carolina? Oh dear.
