THIS WEEK'S BEST BET: Thrice w/ O'Brother, Moving Mountains, La Dispute Sunday, October 9 The Masquerade - 695 North Avenue in Atlanta 30306 Admission $17 / Purchase Tickets Depending on your point of view, Thrice can be one of the most inventive bands performing today or one of the most exasperating. At times, the result of their work has been brilliant ( The Artist and the Ambulance and Vheissu come to mind). At others, it's been staid and [...]

First, a few caveats: Technically, you could argue that EPs shouldn't qualify for a top album spot, but after thinking about it I said fuck it and let them in anyway. 73s and singles, however, were out from the beginning. My apologies to HAWKS and Roman Photos , but I couldn't see my way to letting just two songs into the mix, no matter how good that pair of tracks might be.

The year of the local music fest (seriously, we need to start keeping count) continues with yet another solid two-day affair taking place at 529 in East Atlanta on October 22-23. However, in addition to doing the good work of exposing ATL concertgoers to the city's wealth of talent (including performances by boozy barroom rockers, All Night Drug Prowling Wolves , Hello Ocho , and dance party enthusiasts, Kid Stuff ) HoH in the ATL seeks to serve a greater cause. Organized by the fine folks at Atlanta-based the Grass Being Greener [...]
