Who doesn’t hate Atlanta’s best failing music critic, Jeff Clark? Attractive Eighties Women debase Jeff in this interview and call him a “coward.” And even though he’s talking about a band whose members I am familiar with, it doesn’t make up for the fact that he’s a butt plug. No trackback for you: It’s Elephant’s [...]

Cherokee lauds Buddy Holly
Tuesday, February 3, 2009
Cherokee recorded a cover of Buddy Holly’s seminal Peggy Sue a few months ago. Of it, Zach says, To me, Buddy Holly defines cool. He was tall, good-looking, super sweet and a great songwriter. This cover is me trying to be that cool for two minutes. Cherokee – Peggy Sue (Buddy Holly cover)

He is making a documentary for my current favorite band, 1994! called “Stutter like you Mean it.” Check out the trailer and [...]

It’s Elephant’s (Elephant?) in Greenville, SC
Tuesday, September 9, 2008
Featuring Raymond Hardy, local guru of fun-times. Even though I wasn’t at this show, I did see them the night before at the Earl and—like many of my contemporaries—lamented the fact that we all forgot to bring our cameras and flash them in his face for a change. (photos by Sarah)
