News & Observer music critic David Menconi's random (and we do mean random) musings about all things related to music and culture of the "popular" variety.
This weekend brings the annual Raleigh Wide Open festivities to downtown, with the alternative-leaning Cherry Bounce stage -- which is expanding into some quirky multi-disciplinary areas this year. For more on what that's all about, see this story from Friday's paper. And maybe we'll see you out and about down there over the weekend.
David Menconi has been the News & Observer's music critic since 1991. Before that, he spent five years at the Daily Camera in Boulder, Colo. He has a masters in journalism from the University of Texas and a B.A. in English from Southwestern University. You can find more of his writing here.
