Technical problems have been resolved and here is more live footage of Hammer No More the Fingers and the Future Kings of Nowhere.
Hammer No More the Fingers headlined at the Duke Coffeehouse last night as part of Viking Storm II. Here's video of "Viking Storm." We're working on some technical issues right now, but we should have more video coming soon so be sure to check back.
After many reported Orlando Bloom et. al. sightings over the weekend at Full Frame and around Durham, Main Street finally will begin shooting. According to the schedule, today's filming is set for 206 N. Dillard St. at the corner of Liberty and Dillard. We're going to try and head out there later today to see what's going and if we can get any paparazzi shots. Check back later in the day for updates.
Burma VJ: Reporting from a Closed Country took the top prize at Full Frame this weekend. Last year's winner, Trouble the Water, went on to be nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the Academy Awards. Burma VJ was a finalist in the documentary category at Sundance this year. The film also picked up the Center for Documentary Studies Filmmaker Award and Full/Frame Working Film Award.
A lot of great stuff has happened at Full Frame this week. It's all sort of whirled by thus explaining the lack of blog posts, which we will make up for in the coming days with reviews, Q&A bits, etc.
Sorry to be a little late on this (Full Frame all day). Merge has released some details on its 20th anniversary festival, XX Merge. The event is a centerpiece of the local label's year-long anniversay celebration.

Dashboard Confessional played Page Auditorium last night (see the review here). Before the show, frontman, core member and Banana Republic sales rep Chris Carrabba took some time to talk to me about the musical project that has defined his past decade and his basketball preferences.
Bombadil (Duke alums!) will release its second LP Tarpits and Canyonlands July 7 on Ramseur Records, the same label that the Avett Brothers exploded on. To build some anticipation for the release, they have released a short documentary about the recording of the album in Monroe, NC. Check it out below.
News of Main Street's shooting locations and schedule was released yesterday. BCR has given a photographic breakdown of these locations. The maps showed a lot of the locations to be in downtown Durham, and BCR shows specifically where they are. Check it out here.
We're catching wind a little late on this one, but there's still some time left to see acclaimed filmmaker Mark Rydell before he heads out of town. UNC-Chapel Hill is presenting a retrospective of the On Golden Pond director's work at the Chelsea Theater in Chapel Hill this week. The retrospective began yesterday with screenings of his 1972 John Wayne picture The Cowboys and multiple Oscar-winner On Golden Pond from 1981. Rydell is visiting the UNC this week and is present at the screenings.
Dashboard Confessional plays Page Auditorium tonight at 8 p.m. And according to front man Chris Carrabba's Twitter, it should be an exciting night for the seeming Duke fan. Two of the singer's last five tweets have been about the Blue Devils--the last one coming the night of Duke's loss to Villanova. Is Carrabba actually a Duke fan or has tonight's performance just piqued his interest in K's squad? Hopefully, we'll find out tonight.
Full Frame is set to take over downtown Durham all weekend long. But come Monday, the docs are out of Durham, and fiction is in. Main Street, the new film directed by John Doyle from a Horton Foote script, is set to begin filming April 6. The Durham Visitors Bureau has a map of filming locations and a tentative calendar for shooting dates. The film is the 18th feature film shot in the Bull City and the first since 1996's Bandwagon.
There's a scene in You've Got Mail toward the end. Right before Tom Hanks' Joe Fox reveals himself to be NY152 to Kathleen Kelly.
Durham is about to get a bit more glamorous. BCR has the details on the casting of Main Street, the new movie set to be filmed in the Bull City. Mr. Darcy Colin Firth, Oscar nominee Patricia Clarkson, Oscar winner Ellen Burstyn and Andrew McCarthy. IMDb has the first three listed on the John Doyle film's page but McCarthy is absent. BCR is also reporting that Orlando Bloom and Amber Tamblyn have been linked to the project.
(Via qoolquest) In a stunning example of why Twitter is the dumbest thing ever (but a little bit amazing), we present this video. Found on ?uestlove's Twitter, Pharrell Williams shows he will do anything to get some McDonald's in Paris.
