Not much blogging over the long weekend while I was out enjoying the beautiful weather and sweet events. I spent alot of time in East Atlanta including the East Atlanta Strut and the Go Funk Yourself uber-house party. The really fun weekend is mostly a blur to me and I don’t have much objective journalism for you, so here’s some tunes from some of the artists I might have seen:

Parade : Answer Me : Lunch Lady

Anna Kramer : Anna Kramer : I Can’t Take It

Elevado : This World Is On Fire : Postcard From Four Walls Down

Howlies : Howlies : Angeline

This week is fairly enormous for great shows. Tonight I’m going to see Bjork and Klaxons at the Fox. Diplo is going to be at MJQ tonight too. Wednesday night at Lenny’s is Zoroaster’s CD release party featuring Daath. Wednesday night is also the beginning of Atlantis Music Conference, Atlanta’s answer to South By Southwest. Thursday night John Vanderslice and Bishop Allen will be at The Earl. Pretty much every venue in town has an interesting show Friday night but i like the Eyedrum show with Vietnam, Random Violets, Subliminator, and Tree Creature. Saturday night is just ridiculous. Do Make Say Think and Atlanta’s Moorish Idols are going to be at The Earl. Queens Of The Stone Age are at The Tabernacle. Girl Talk and Dan Deacon are at MJQ. Then Sunday night The Apples In Stereo will be playing for free at Piedmont Park(Park Tavern).

Bjork : Volta : Wanderlust

Queens Of The Stone Age : Era Vulgaris : I’m Designer

Zoroaster : Dog Magic : Brazen Bull

Do Make Say Think : You, You’re A History In Rust : In Mind

Girl Talk : Night Ripper : Give And Go

Moorish Idols : Moorish Idols : Fer-De-Lance
