This week, and every week hereafter, Dana Christina will
lead you through the often confusing haze of bands and
events, in order that your life may be well-rounded and
therefore more meaningful. Not to mention a whole lot
easier. It's a wonderful world.
Wednesday, October 16
Without a doubt, the place to be tonight is the 40 Watt, to
experience the full blast of the Didgits. The Champaign,
Illinois-based trio have been compared to the Ramones,
the New York Dolls and the Stooges... pretty good com
pany to keep, if you ask me. And you get the full added
attraction of Udder. All that madness, all that mayhem and
not one appearance by Kevin Costner. It's certain to get
you in the mood for...

The Mommyheads! Yep, this week's really cooking up to
be a showcase for loud and strange acts. The Mom
myheads have traversed all the way from their native San
Francisco (a veritable mecca for oddities) so that you, the
viewing public, can be a part of their world. They’re at the
Downstairs, and it'll be loud. Consider yourselves fore
warned. The more delicate-natured may consider instead
a visit to the Lenny show at the Georgia Theater. Great
singer, soothing melodies. Or for a really cheap date, enjoy
the Georgia Bar's weekly sojourn into debauchery, when
the whole place turns into a Motown disco. There. In the
spirit of democracy, I have given you a choice
Friday, October 18
You have no such choice tonight. Jody Grind is at the
Georgia Theater, and you should be, too. For one thing, the
Jody haven’t ground in Athens lately. For another thing, Mr
Maidenform himself, Deacon Lunchbox, will be perform
ing. Then, there’s Uncle Green thrown in for extra measure.
Quite an interesting bill. And if you missed Deacon at the
last Opal Foxx show, he just might surprise you with the new
dance moves he’s picked up.

Defmately check out Golden Gmgko. It takes public
support to keep the downtown festivals coming back every
year. And they are fun. Just go and people-watch, if
nothing else. Music-wise, the club roster is filled with the
infamous... Roosevelt, Porn Orchard, Vigilantes, Magister
Ludi. I won’t pass any judgements for this night. Pick a
band you’ve never heard before and give ’em a try. At best,
you might discover a new favorite. At worst, you can just
keep in mind that everything shuts down around midnight,
so you won’t have to endure for long.
Monday, October 21
It’s Flicker Film Night, no but’s about it. There’s a pun
there, I’m sure. But this is a great opportunity to view local
film-making talent. Don’t just wait for the next REM video-
fest. Go now Make me happy.

Two choices. Studio East is at the Downstairs. Sure to
be a cultural experience. From what I heard, they play
Indian music sitars and such. And Sebadoh is at the 40
Watt. They have Dinosaur Jr’s former bass player and
some pretty good press with regards to their sound, which
K alternately described as loud and minimalist. I think
either show will be good.
