Local Music News

Lots of Athens connections on Aquarium Drunkard lately. There's a piece on Vic Chesnutt and Elf Power, with some mp3s to download/stream, Of Montreal, Deerhunter, as well as a piece on Widespread Panic covers. (He also has the Dylan/Cash 69 studio sessions up for download.) Dead Confederate is Paste Magazine's Band of the Week.

News is creeping out about the upcoming release from Booker T, his first solo album in 20 years. The Drive-By Truckers serve as the backing band for the album (cut at David Barbe's studio), and Neil Young laid down guitar for something like 10 or so tracks. (Though he was not in Athens, mind you.)

And in the non-music world, Ron Howard is doing an Arrested Development movie. Discuss.
