Founders of Merge Records in Durham, Mac McCaughan and Laura Ballance, will discuss and sign copies of the new book they wrote with John Cook, Our Noise: The Story of Merge Records, the Indie Label that Got Big and Stayed Small.  “One of the most respected imprints in an often disreputable industry, Merge has defied the odds by releasing some of the finest rock and pop music of the last 15 years,” writes the Chicago Tribune.  Mac and Laura are two of the members of the pop-punk band Superchunk.  Mac and Laura will play some of their favorite Merge songs and show some slides—and we’ll offer beer and wine.  (We’ll also play the 20th anniversary Merge Records sampler CD.)
