The New York Times ‘Fall Music Preview’ section on Sunday had this item and it totally mentions Providence.
LIGHTNING BOLT Who knew that the members of Lightning Bolt — the utterly bonkers bass-and-drums duo from Providence that has been king of the noise-punks for most of the decade — were such perfectionists?

Oh good, I’m glad that our only Times mention this week wasn’t the one about sewage runoff getting into our water.
