MsS: I'll take these secrets to the grave

I'll take these secrets to the grave

Days like today are when I wish I was still going to school in Athens. There's a FREE show tonight at the Caledonia Lounge with DJ Twin Powers, Snowden, and Psychic Hearts. If you're in town tonight, you should definitely go. If you live on the Georgia/South Carolina border, you should also go. Trust me, if you left now, you'd make it there in great time. The OC has been kind of lame this season, and Making the Band 3 is going to come on like 85 more times this weekend, so there's no need to stay home and watch tv.



Psychic Hearts is a great band out of Athens who describe their sound as "heavy new-wave, disco shoe-gaze." Michelle used to tell me about how great they were, and I finally heard their music late last year when their self titled EP was in rotation at WUOG. This three song EP got quite a bit of airplay on the station, and I especially grew to love the track Pavement.

Psychic Hearts is definitely one of the most promising bands in Atlanta. They beat out hundreds of other local groups to land one of the few local spots at this year's Music Midtown Festival. Their energetic live shows have allowed them to sell out Athens music staples like Tasty World and the Caledonia Lounge. I'm really looking forward to hearing the music that this band will bring to us in the new year. But for now, we've got these three great songs below.

Louis Jordan's "Caldonia" is amazing. Heck, most of what Louis Jordan did was amazing (before that depressing Mac Davis cover album... oy!). Big T and the Bada Bings do a great cover of "Caldonia", too.

PS (regarding your previous post): Most of us were dorks in high school. Those who were cool are mostly Al Bundys now. Good choice on the reunion.

Hey, did you ever listen to those Morrissey interview tracks I posted?

And yes, I think most of us were indeed dorks in high school. High school is a pretty dumb place when you think about it. But the great thing about it is that no one will care what you were like when you were there.
