MUSIC NEWS AND GOSSIP
I certainly hope everyone had a great time
celebrating last week. Now, we begin the
headlong slide into deep holiday land. It's an
easy time of year to get distracted and forget
the bands in your own back yard. But, you
know, these bands love you. Won't you love
them back? Get a little lovin' below...
That Ain't No Lady: Even though founding
meipber Gabe Vodicka has been absent for a
year, Athens-ish band Long Legged Woman
had been plowing right along. Now, they plow
no more. The remaining members (Justin
Flowers, Jeff Rahuba and Alex Cargile) have
called it quits. Far from going dormant indi
vidually, though, Flowers and Rahuba will con
tinue together as Busch League and plan to
tour constantly. A few posthumous releases for
Long legged Woman are planned via the band's
Pollen Season label. I always really liked Long
Legged Woman and thought they really put
the fun back into things. Anyway, keep up
with their ashes via www.pollenseason.net.
Gamelan On!: Longtime Athens musician Kai
Riedl has launched www.javasounds.org, a
website that showcases musicians from Java
playing both traditional and contemporary
The Dictatortots
music. So far, 12 volumes of various styles
(including one that's entirely free) are avail
able at the site. This site is the first launched
by Sound Compass, a music-based non-profit
that seeks to connect artists with listeners
in a direct way based on minimum donations
for the artists' work. Riedl co-founded Sound
Compass along with Athens-based engineer
Suny Lyons (who handled pretty much all the
technical work involved in the Indonesian
Music Series), software developer Tim
Hankins, musician Barrett Martin (Screaming
Trees, Tuatara) and Dr. Jean Kidula of UGA's
African Studies Institute. Please check out
this killer project and perhaps grab some new
music in the process. This is really cool stuff.
Eject! Eject! Eject!: Josh McKay is totally
excited over the new, expanded lineup of his
latest project. Abandon the Earth Mission has
added guitarist Mason Brown (Jet by Day)
and drummer Sam Fogarino (Interpol) to the
lineup. The band's sound isn't exactly ambi
ent and it's not exactly "electronic," although
it certainly contains elements of each. The
group will deubt as a five-piece at the 40 Watt
on Wednesday, Nov. 4 opening for California
noisemakers HEALTH and local rockers
Chrissakes. Sample in advance over at www.
myspace.com/abandontheearthmission.
V Ten Years Down the Drain: It's hard to
believe but, yes, The Dictatortots have spent
a full decade together. What's less hard to
believe is that the band will celebrate this
milestone with a party at the 40 Watt on
Saturday, Nov. 7. Save Grand Canyon will
open the show, but the night, really, belongs
to The Dictatortots. The band's brand of joke-
hewn’rock and roll has maintained a steady
audience in Athens and beyond. How long
can they keep the joke running? Who knows?
Ask them yourself over at www.myspace.com/
dictatortots.
Here Are the Young Men: If you go by the
Flicker Theatre & Bar on Friday, Nov. 6 you'll
glance up at the stage and think, "Hey, I know
that dude." Why? Because the faces of Gabe
Vodicka, Corey Loomis, Robert Gunn and
Roy Coughlin are pretty much synonymous
with "party guest." OK, so Vodicka, Gunn and
Coughlin have each spent a healthy amount of
time away from Athens recently, but' dammit
if Loomis hasn't held down the fort for them.
They're also all fine songwriters in their own
right and will perform together and separately.
If you've ever seen or heard of Long Legged
Woman, Some Animal, An Epic at Best or
any of the other bands
these guys have been
known to populate,
then you know I speak
the truth. This show
is presented by Expat
Recordings, which is
operated by Coughlin
himself. Inquire over
at www.myspace.com/
roycoughlin.
Oh, Mother: Local rock
ers Mother Jackson
are on the road right
now doing some dates
through the Southeast.
This week they'll hit
Macon on Nov. 4 and
Birmingham Nov. 5
and then head up to
Chattanooga on Nov. 7. The band will play
Greenville, SC on Nov. 11, Savannah on Nov.
12 and North Charleston, SC on Nov. 14. Why
did I bother to tell you all the dates and cit
ies? Because if you were to look at the band's
website, which hasn't been updated since
April, you'd never know. See for yourself over
at www.motheijackson.com.
Dublin, Take Two: Shame on me for not
mentioning this earlier, but R.E.M. released
its second official live record last week and
the second album to be recorded entirely in
Ireland. The 39-song set, Live at the Olympia,
was recorded during the band's live tour
rehearsals at Dublin's Olympia Theatre in
the summer of 2007. The band's 2007 album,
R.E.M. Live, was recorded at Dublin's Point
Theatre in 2005. The new album features a
killer mix of songs, and R.E.M.'s performance
is stellar. The package is available now on CD,
CD/DVD and vinyl. In other news, R.E.M. has
joined up with artists such as Trent Reznor
(Nine Inch Nails), Tom Morello (Rage Against
the Machine), Pearl Jam, Rise Against, and
more in the National Campaign to Close
Guantanamo (NCCG). For more info, please
see www.remhq.com and www.closegitmo.com.
