Oh the heat is rolling in and the rain is staying away and that equals some good weather this weekend. I’m not sure how ready I am for the heat but it is better then getting the rain of the last 6 weekends.

If you thought that you missed your opportunity to see Radiohead this Thursday, well it looks like your second chance has arrived. If you go to ebay or craiglist today, there seems to be a firesale on Radiohead tickets. People are asking for face value for lawn tickets and judging by the sheer number of them, you might even be able to get them below face value. So if you are interested in getting tickets then stop on by your local ebay or craigslist and pick up a few for cheap, Good luck.

I know that you are nursing your hangover from yesterday’s Cinco de Mayo celebrations, but I just wanted to try to lure you back to the darkside with $5 mojitos at Pazole on Wednesday night.  Valid every wednesday, this latin inspired eatry in Virginia Highlands provides tacos and other mexican eats that you can enjoy along with a minty, sugar infused mojito.  Now rest up, it looks like you are going to have a busy week.

If you look down on the bottom of the right sidebar, you will find the buddy wall is now open and ready for posting.  The buddy wall is made for you to blow off some steam if something is bothering you. Basically imagine it as a bathroom wall and you want to write random rants about life.  Now please don’t be too offensive but other than that, I will leave it to say whatever you want about this town, your job or me.

Enjoy.

Social Distortion frontman, Mike Ness, is bringing his Southern California infused, country style to Atlanta at the Variety Playhouse on May 9th. Not all fans might dig Mike Ness’s departure from his punk rock sound of Social Distortion but you must remember that Ness was turning out country records before the slew of punk rock veteran’s followed suit. Mike Ness is a legend, a bad ass and will put on a great show for you guaranteed.

Langhorne Slim brings his bluesy, bluegrass, folky rock and roll to Atlanta on April 29th at the Earl. This tour is supporting his new album, which is self titled, and was released today on V2 records. You can check out some of the songs off his new album here on his MySpace page. This show is only $8. So for only a few bucks and a ten spot for some high lifes, you will get a good show to see on a Tuesday night. Check out the album and if you like it then come on down and join us at the show.

500 songs for Kids is an annual ten day, five hundred band, five hundred song extravaganza at Smiths Olde Bar. In its second year, 500 songs for Kids knocked off the top five hundred songs of all time at last years event and this year will be performing the top 500 sing alongs of all time. The event is amazing to watch as bands pound through 5o songs a night with some that are memorable and some that are absolutely terrible. While performers are not released before each night, last year performers included Pete Yorn, Butch Walker, the Whigs and 497 more. Advance tickets don’t appear to be on sale but remember you can always buy tickets at the downstairs bar of Smith’s on the day of the show. I highlighly recommend checking this event out some time during its ten day run and warm up those vocal chords because you might get the urge to sing along.
