I’m not going to start this by telling you that I am guilt-ridden, because I am not. I just don’t get that way. Nonetheless, I do realize that some of you out there in A-List Land don’t just tune in for the fine grammer and careful proofreding. Some of you might actually use this little list to look cool at the interweb cafe, impress cute boys, or even plan your week.
For those in the last category, I have let you down this week. No links (e.g., Papa Grows Funk), wrong links (e.g., Saturday Night Sabotage), missed shows (e.g., Broken Social Scene), ugh. Worst A-List Ever!
So with the same misguided sense of responsibility that prompted the Worst President Ever to send hundreds of thousands of troops into Persia to look for nukes, I am sending out the…drum roll please… Atlanta’s A-List Addendum. (don’t get used to it).
This Week’s add, uh, end, uh…ummm
Even as I am typing, Papa Grows Funk is getting ready to take the stage at Smith’s. With some luck I will be done in time to hear the quintet dedicated to rebuilding New Orleans the way it should be rebuilt…one groove at a time. If I cut this short it will be because I would rather be there.
Now it’s time for the shameless plug of the week. Go to Saturday Night Sabatoge at Depot sponsored in part by the hippest of the new energy drinks Whynatte. It is a Jennifer Lester Production and based on that alone I couldn’t think of a better reason to go.
Friday night may be the show that you don’t miss based on the potential ridiculousness of it all.
King Khan & BBQ Show will be at Lenny’s. I will not go into the difference between King Khan & the Shrines and this act (while different they are partially the same) or the duo’s prior collaboration in the Canadian band, Spaceshits. What matters is that Blacksnake will be there likely performing with the kind of reckless stupidity you might expect from a much better looking looking man (given his propensity for getting mostly naked). Anyway, they have been called doo-wop garage (really) so abandon sensibility and have a PBR for me. I will be in Knoxville trying to scalp a ticket to see Iron and Wine at the Bijou.
Finally you will have two chances this weekend to see my friend Charles Williams and his acclaimed (somewhere by someone) jazz ensemble, Bonaventure Quartet this weekend. This tends toward the traditional but these people are remarkably talented and that is a good reason to make the time. If that isn’t enough of a reason their 3PM Saturday afternoon appearance at Decatur CD will be free. There will also be free beer though BYOB is also encouraged (somebody’s got to cover for the slobs who bogart the freebies). If that’s too early in the day for you, I understand. Try to make out on Sunday night around 7:30 to catch them at Eddie’s Attic.
That’s Atlanta’s Amended A-List and farewell Angelina.
