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.
Barely a week into the new year, we've already got the first great local album of 2009 -- North Elementary's "Not For Everyone Just For You" -- which is kind of funny, because the Chapel Hill band actually finished making it nearly two years ago. But it was worth waiting around for. For some explanation as to why this happened, check the interview with North Elementary main man John Harrison in Friday's paper. The band also plays a free show tonight at Carrboro's Cat's Cradle.
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.
