Debate: Athens Music Messge Board
picture by Josh SchultzThis debate question comes straight from Daniel via email. He reckons that a message board would get some more conversation going about different bands and venues around town. You could start and comment on threads, giving you more say so than just the comments section here and on Flagpole. So would it be a good idea or a bad one? Leave comments/ideas below.YES: It's abo...

WUOG News and Other Things
As if I didn't keep myself busy enough, the nice folks over at WUOG have set up blogs for pretty much each show to hit the airwaves. I'm not sure who's actually going to be writing on them, but I'll be updating the Sound of the City blog every Tuesday night. You can find it here.Also of interest, DJ FOR WUOG. Yup, we're doing the community Dj shift again this semester. It's always a ton of fun ...

Album:Audible Sigh
It began when I first heard "Nothing Like a Train." I had pulled the Vigilantes of Love disc off the WUOG wall one Tuesday night at random, amused at the band name. I was still heavily on my punk/art rock kick at that point, scorning most country-esque music since it had haunted my past so much. But I put the disc on and discovered Americana. And I've been addicted ever since.Mallonee's a first...

New Addiction: Efren
-
Artist:Efren
Techincally from Crawford, GA (it's close enough), Efren is one of those artists out there making music that you hope people can pick up on naturally. I imagine that if we didn't have tv or the internet or the radio, you could find this kind of music by hopping on a train and taking it to the smallest town that you can find on a map, walking to the corner near the post office and sitting yourse...

Fire & Ice

Artist:
Since I'm still completely beat from yesterday's adventures (maybe to appear here later) I'm just going to highlight this EPIC team-up I came across while researching. Widespread Panic. Vic Chesnutt. One's fire. The other's ice. Either way, this song burns so good.
