Love Train is my favorite tune from this year, and this whole album just rocks. Updated and improved classic rock grooves and guitar riffage. Still great for shredding.
Been following Chan for a long time now and this is her masterpiece. Totally different from prior work. Saw her with the Memphis Rhythm Band at the 40 Watt. She totally had her shit together. no freak out bullshit like i'd seen before. This show was like going to church... but in a good way.
Beck keeps pushing it forward. Hung out with band at the GA Bar couple of nights. They played several tunes from this album totally stripped down. Very cool.
Hey its the Lips. Not there best, but still very good. The best live band on the planet. Superheroes handed out laser pointers to the crowd in Athens, and Wayne coordinated some trippy shit with mirrors and crowd participation.
Not really, but Dark Meat is not available in the search engine. Dark Meat is the best band out of Athens right now. The album is called Universal Indians. It just got remastered and they are out on a massive US tour. Check them out if you get a chance. Think Mudhoney with 12 piece free jazz section that meanders into the audience.
