What’s going on in the Asheville blogoshpere? Well, let’s take a look:

Gordon and Mountain Xpress have nice round-ups.

But there’s plenty more:

Pixiedyke always makes me laugh. Check up on her home renovations and such, and I’ll keep looking for a Lickalotta update. Here’s what she sounds like:

I did exactly nothing today. Well, I mean, I read books about assholes and ate lunch with D’oh and played the hell out of some Wii, but there was no progress on the bathroom whatsoever. I liked it that way.

On a more serious note, My Weaverville has riverkeeper video of some serious erosion.

Speaking of Gordon, he rounds up some political bloggers here. And did you know that he’s going to be on the panel of the next Republican congressional candidate debate? Gordon gettin’ all pundit on us – he’s more bacon the pan can handle, ain’t he? (By the way, I’m trying to popularize the phrase “more bacon than the pan can handle” after I heard Mike Doughty sing it the other day on NPR. But more on that later.)

George the Bastard is all excited about Lou Reed and Melt-Banana coming to Asheville. Who is “Melt-Banana”?

Lots of beer news at the Asheville Beer Blog. I like beer.

Edward at GIS memories had his first test of the spring semester.

Marie at Blue Ridge Blog is still cranking out beautiful photography while settling into a new job. Just go look and you’ll be hooked.

Melt Banana is a Japanese noise metal band. Their music is hellish.

Melt-Banana are an awesome noise-rock band from Japan that will very likely cause all the yuppies who show up to the Peel to "have a couple of glasses of chardonnay and listen to Lou Reed sing that ‘Take a Walk on the Wild Side’ song" to either scratch their heads in WTF disbelief or run screaming from the theater. That *might* be worth at least half of the admission price.

If they were playing a show by themselves, I’d be all over it. But opening for Lou Reed for a ticket price of $47.50? I’ll pass.
