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.
Merge Records co-owners Mac McCaughan and Laura Ballance are doing a series of bookstore readings for their new tome, which traces the history of the duo's two-decade-old record label -- including Thursday night at Raleigh's Quail Ridge Books. I'll be there to play a very small role, introducing them to start the program. I promise I'll be brief, so come on out. That's 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Quail Ridge, 3522 Wade Ave. in Raleigh.
