No Breaks



No Breaks Records is my friend and roommate, Stewart's, distro so I figured I'd give him a little plug since I just bought Shang-A-Lang's 7'' Summertime (1st press) from him this morning. It has to be one of my all-time favorite 7''s, especially because of the song "Caught in Between".

Well, anyway, onwards...

I don't remember why for sure, but I ended up missing that last Sunglasses show; I think I took a quick sojourn to Macon. But, I did end up seeing the Vivian Girls! It was a really great show... ha, sorry, I don't have a loquacious way to put it. I got drunk as fuck and had a blast. I was really surprised by Wet Dog and Happy Birthday and I'll definitely check more of them out.

Let's see what's going on tonight...

First off, at WonderRoot, we've got Jason Anderson and Your Favorite Mixtape. Jason Anderson is a very interesting singer-songwriter; very feel-good, community music. But, I think he said at the last show at WonderRoot that he's been on the road for 8 years? Honestly, I don't know that much about him, had never heard of him until that time at WonderRoot back in February. It's not exactly stuff up my alley, but I do respect his talent very much.
Then, YFM, as far as I understand it, is Diana from The Wild's other band. I know nothing about them, haha. Except that it's a cover band of Alanis Morisette and Britney Spears?
Suggested donation of $5.

Then, we've got The F'n Heartbreaks, The Kooties, The Choke, and Customers at The Drunken Unicorn. Only $5 if 21 or over! (Rad; shows here are usually expensive.) But, if you're under 21, it's $7.

Unfortunately, I will probably miss all of this, because I will be at work. Trivia night.

That's all for now. Byebye.

Nuevo

Uh. Hi.

Honestly, I don't know what I'll use this for yet. Probably just the things that are going on in and around Atlanta, and what-have-you. Photographs, interesting stories, etc.

I'm going to apologize right off the bat, because I'm not the greatest writer, and generally what I have to say isn't that interesting and the shit I waste my time looking at on the internet isn't either. An impasse!

Let's start with what's going on tonight and later this week.


Tonight:


I've never seen/heard Living Rooms or Giant Lion, but I have seen The Sunglasses several times. I've always had a pretty rad time at their shows. Here's to hoping people'll dance/mosh around at this one; it seems like at 529 the crowd generally stands there and just bobs up and down slightly. Not to say that I dislike that bar, I actually like it a lot. Especially when people aren't zombies during a show.
As for me, I'm pretty sure I'm going, as show's free as far as I know (otherwise I'd have to scrounge up some money I don't have).

Then, later this week, also at 529 Bar, is The Vivian Girls, Wet Dog, and Happy Birthday! I've been looking forward to this one for a long time. This is this Thursday, the 25th.



Anywhoo, that's all for now I suppose.
