Mea Culpa Mixtape ’11

In reviewing the year’s local releases for list making and roundtable purposes, I realized that I never got around to writing about some of my favorites.  The 14 songs on this mix are all from releases I wish I had blogged about earlier, with at least 3 of the represented albums holding down spots in [ READ MORE ]

The Real Benefit for Criminal Records, this Saturday at The Cottage

It would be a shame to see Criminal Records disappear from the local music landscape.  In addition to having the best selection of new vinyl in town, they are really unmatched when it comes to putting on free in-store events.  Criminal is just a great place, one of my favorites in Atlanta, and I’m ecstatic [ READ MORE ]

[REVIEW] Places – March

Nico Giarrano has been releasing music as Places for a little while now, but it’s strictly been in song or EP form.  March is his first attempt at stringing together a full set of songs, and it’s an appropriate compendium of what has made all his previous releases so appealing.  He’s working with a lo-fi [ READ MORE ]

Little Advances One Year Anniversary – Pics and Video

While I can’t say that last night’s one year anniversary party went off without a hitch, I can totally say that it still ended up being awesome. Places opened with a mostly solo set from band mastermind Nico Giarrano.  He sang and played acoustic guitar, with a little looping and occasional flute accompaniment.  It was [ READ MORE ]

One more reminder….

Come out and see some music tomorrow night.  Everyone’s welcome to start showing up around 8, and Places will get the music started at 9.  There will be some beer available for those over 21, but it won’t last all night, so bringing your own wouldn’t be a bad idea.  You’ve got to stock up [ READ MORE ]

This week’s shows (3/14/2011-3/20/2011)

  Monday (3/14/2011): Two great options tonight.  The most exciting one is probably Brooklyn’s Fang Island at 529, with locals Vegan Coke and Curio Museum.  Fang Island’s live show pushes for “epic” from start to finish, all soaring guitars and group-chant vocals.  This show is inexplicably free, too, so even more reason to make it [ READ MORE ]

Little Advances One Year Anniversary Party

One year ago, my roommate and I started this blog with no clear idea about what form it was going to take.  I knew I wanted an outlet where I could do some writing wholly unrelated to my daily life, but I didn’t really think I would primarily write about music.  Film seemed much more [ READ MORE ]

[STREAM] Two tracks from Marietta’s Places

It’s hard to get a handle on Places, the solo recording project of Marietta’s Nico Giarrano.  First of all, there’s that name, possibly the least Google-friendly moniker I’ve ever come across.  Then there’s the prolificacy.  Places’ Bandcamp page displays 7 releases since October 2009, and there’s not really a unifying stylistic theme between them.  Much [ READ MORE ]
