The Mill

Chilling out in Carrboro UNC women’s basketball Coach Sylvia Hatchell relax- es with an iced-tea at Tyler’s Taproom on Main Street af- ter her Monday evening ra- dio show, which broadcasts live from the restaurant. Hatchel, who celebrated her 500th win Feb. 7 after the third-ranked Tar Heels beat Clemson, 79-47, took in an intense Rutgers-Tennes- see game with friends after her show. The Tar Heels take on Virginia on Friday. The next broadcast of Hatchell’s show is Monday, Feb. 18 on WCHL-1360 AM photo by KIRK ROSS TJ & DJ High praise from many quarters for the free lecture delivered at the UNC Student Union last Friday by Paul Miller, aka DJ Spooky, aka That Subliminal Kid. Lots of fascinating clips and music, including a look at his remix of the movie WattStax woven together with Miller’s views on art, music, history and remix culture. Those in attendance were also treated to free CDs and stickers. Highest praise came, perhaps, from renowned black composer T J Anderson, who moved to this area about 18 years ago after a storied career at Tufts. Anderson, who joined UNC art professor Lyneise Wil- liams and Miller for a Q&A afterward, called Miller a genius and told the audience that they’d been watching the future of art. Sam “The Dot Man” McMillan beckons you to join him for the Sixth Annual Fearrington Folk Art Show at the Barn at Fearrington, February 23-24 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Works by 30 of the Thrift Store Find Southeast’s best folk artists will be on display.
