There was a band called Uncle Tupelo. They broke up in the early 90’s but before their demise they pretty much created the definition of what alt-country is and was. The members of Uncle Tupelo separated into two bands, Wilco and Son Volt. Wilco has gone onto gain wide spread notoriety and indie rock love, while Son Volt generated a hardcore set of die hard fans who love Son Volt’s unaltered Americana. Both bands are awesome but are very different and appeal to two different listeners. Either way, Son Volt is coming to town this Friday and are worth checking out because they are pretty awesome live. Check out their music below and go check them out if you dig.

Now this should be an interesting event. I never really thought about combining the game of asshole with improv but I kind of wish I had. The game will work like this:

“The audience gets to vote on who they like the least after every scene - that actor will have to drink, and get a “rule” bestowed upon them by other actors onstage. As the show develops the actors are challenged to maintain their rules despite the influence of the beverages they imbibe. “

The game will get good if the actors start getting drunk, which I imagine they will because there really isn’t a reason not too.

The beauty of film festivals is that they supply you with a fair share of random ass films and the Atlanta Film Festival is no different. Here are some of the films that you can see from April 10th-19th during the Atlanta Film Festival. Film plots include: A man who finds peace by karaoking to Sinatra, a short about a little rabbits special fondness for carrots, and a documentary about a town that falls into chaos after a group of bird enthusiasts arrive to try and find a rare woodpecker.
