ATL. "AATeeeeYELLL!" ATL. "ATeeeeYELL", and yes, ....And That Is Why, rocked the lounge. Soft, soft and then hard, and then soft, that was the way it felt, ATL. For their was the soft music from the previous bands and then the BOOM of And That Is Why at the Low Five Lounge.
So we were out and about in the midst of Festival Weekend and caught Dragon*Con. This was the 25th aniversary of the convention and as always hosted a forum for all alum in the form of literature, art, film, and music. Not to mention the active members and participants that complete the convention, while bringing a festival and a city to life.
From the minute Gurufish took the stage at Peachtree Tavern, heads started turning and bodies slid
out of their bar stools to saunter onto the dance floor. Gurufish’s arena soul sound was far too big for
Peachtree Tavern’s little stage – but that didn’t stop Jimmy St. James and his fantastic band from putting
on a killer show.
...and again we thrust into the Atlanta night on Wednesday August 24, 2011 to a place known as Smith's Olde Bar. Smith's always seems to hold a warmth and intimacy that many of the smaller venues often times can't possess. This leads to a pleasant receptive mood for the music and acts to come and neither disappointed this night.

Joy Scout Rocks!
If you haven’t had a chance to catch Oakhurst’s incredibly talented singer/songwriter duo JoyScout – don’t wait another second! This Thursday, August 18th, JoyScout will be performing at Twains in Decatur. The show starts at 8:30pm, and should not be missed.
The lack of imperfection but the neccessity of pleasure and strength. SPINES, without them, we don't walk, but with them we gain identity, integrity, and we thrive. Some music is better than others just are SPINES. Their music holds solid and true. Not lying for the wrong reasons, but existing for the untempered truth of what music and life can be. The comfort of what is challenging, makes a bed for the complex. SPINES. SPINES' effection is found in steadied patience, that is tried and true. However energy, performance, and function transist into rare lands of embodiment, not met before. Thankful and yet cautious, for that which is given, and that isn't going to stop giving.
The Grid...
Here’s where you can enter a world and ride upon a plane of unnatural existence becoming the only existence, becoming the reality, becoming natural. Daft Punk puts us here with this most riveting chronological musical of the story of Flynn meeting his son on the grid.
This album is one of the cool ones. One of the ones that can fit anywhere. Sit you at peace, and be easy. Yeaaah EE zee. Political, spiritual, familial, and your girlfriend, not to mention. You can also find emanicipation and redemption in this album.
The Top 3 Reasons to Listen to Adele 21
On February 22, 2011, Adele released “21” the follow-up to “19,” her breakthrough debut. Critics the world over have described “21” as “simply timeless”, “haunting”, “soaring”, “organic”, and “poignant”, and have compared her vocal stylings to artists such as Amy Winehouse and Dusty Springfield,
From the first piano chords into ("I see you drivin' around town with a girl I know. I'm like F**k You!") He had us hooked with a curious fascination of what is to come and refreshment in what could be found as vulgar. Vulgarity being made endearing and with an artist givin' us the truth of the art he wants to do with some juicy goodness.
On Friday, February 17th, I went to see the Atlanta-based singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist collective, Joy Scout, perform at Eddie’s Attic. Emily Kate Boyd and Nicki Thrailkill, the heart of Joy Scout, were missing third member Jesse Tyler, but were joined by long time collaborators Will Boos on ukulele, David Stephens on banjo, Paul Warner on lap steel, as well as Will Robertson on bass, who also produced their new album: Vampires at Sea.
