The B to the P to the A!!

And we all thought maybe Fatboy Slim had lost his MOJO after the Ivor Novello award...not so:

They're back...

...but for how long. Ben Folds Five did a reunion gig. For the moment it lives on MySpace:

Magic Men

Can't believe that life/work somehow preempted an entire month and a half's worth of posting. To undo such karma, let us reach out to The Aliens:

PeTe Molinari

Just got done doing a phoner with Pete Molinari for this week's show. Super nice guy, and have been luv-ing the new record (recorded at London's awesome ToeRag Studios...) for a while now. Very excited to have him on. Viddy one of my fave tunes of his below...

I "NeeD" That Record

Went out the other night to catch a showing of Brendan Toller's film "I Need That Record."

Not a bad little documentary that, among others, featured Glenn Branca, Mike Watt, Ian from Fugazi, and Thurston Moore. I was under the impression (from a source that I can't recall at the moment...) that my friend Todd from the great Low Yo Yo Stuff shop (formerly in Athens, now in Atlanta...) was in it, but he apparently didn't make this particular cut of the film if at all (DVD xtras???). From the titling at the beginning it appears that they still haven't settled on the final cut just yet.

PyLoN...

Finally...after much finger crossing, Pylon has agreed to do an Athens 441 slot for us next month. So join us if you're up for it Sept 4th at the Melting Point, with The Buddy System opening. Tickets here...

Byrne & eNo...

In case you hadn't heard...David Byrne and Brian Eno have a new LP out, and they're giving away the first single as an MP3. Head over to their new site get yourself some, and find out when they'll be gigging near you...
