New Music Goodie Mob aging gracefully with 'Special Education'
Posted by Chad Radford on Wed, May 22, 2013 at 12:14 PM
This week, Cee-Lo, Big Gipp, Khujo, and T-Mo joined forces with Janelle Monáe to offer up "Special Education," a new cut from Goodie Mob's forthcoming album Age Against the Machine, due out Aug. 27.
Age Against the Machine is Goodie Mob's first proper studio album with all four members of the group in the mix since World Party arrived back in '99. "Special Education" is a grinding, synth and bass-driven number, and despite its modern production qualities, it feels like a classic Dungeon Family Cut. Janelle Monáe brings a touch of her trademark non-conformist sentiment to the song when she sings, "I don't wear the clothes you wear, I'm just different and I don't care. It's kind of sad and it's a shame, everyone wants to be the same." Good things are in the works.
Music news / Randomania Tracklist: Liberace rises

>> What is the meaning of life? Who am I? What is my true nature/essence? What is my true identity? What is my greater purpose? How should I live my life? What is death? What happens when we die? Is there a god, and, if so, what is her nature? Also, is Daft Punk's new album, Random Access Memories, good or not?
>> If you count Liberace as music news (of course you do), then you should really check out the great piece at NPR on HBO's upcoming Steven Soderbergh-directed Liberace movie, Behind the Candelabra.
>> Queens of the Stone Age have stitched together a 15-minute short film from their recently released ... Like Clockwork videos/cartoons by Boneface and Liam Brazier.

Tonight Earl 'Bubba' Maddox remembered
Posted by Chad Radford on Wed, May 22, 2013 at 10:26 AM
Back in March, CL's resident country music scribe James Kelly penned an eloquent remembrance of Maddox.
Born in Augusta, Earl discovered music early on, and one of his first band gigs was with the Grease Guns, which included Gregory Dean Smalley, who would later move to Atlanta and help create the legendary Bubbapalooza festival at the Star Bar. When Greg succumbed to AIDS related illness in 1996, it was Earl who helped take care of him to the end. His devotion to his friends was that strong. Continue reading ...
Nola.com has posted a telling obit as well.
Tonight's memorial begins at 7 p.m. and runs till 10 p.m. The Soul Bar is located at 984 Broad St. in downtown Augusta.

Tonight Hellier Ulysees refuse to look at you
Posted by Billy Mitchell on Tue, May 21, 2013 at 5:02 PM
- Courtesy Hellier Ulysees
- Hellier Ulysses Live
"Have you ever seen Snake Eyes?" Charles Hellier asks me. I pause and say "Maybe a long time ago ..." Like most Americans, I'm sure I have seen almost all Nick Cage movies. Charles laughs and begins our interview with "Yeah, it's terrible." The other half of Hellier Ulysses, Thomas Ulysses, couldn't make it so we called him, threw him on the SPEAKER PHONE and kind of got down to business.
Hellier Ulysses are a noisy Birdnames. Maybe one of the highest compliments I think I can pay any band. They wrestle the weirdo pop sensibilities of Americas #1 underrated band and make them heavier, louder and at times more engaging. Switching bass and guitar throughout their set and alternating lead vocal duties, Hellier Ulysses spin odd melodies over misplaced notes and Charles' foot stampeding away through driving bass drum beats. It's engaging. It's different. It's good. T is for Thomas, C is for Charles, and B is for Billy. Let's go!
T: Hello. Do I sound strange?
B: Yeah, you sound strange.
C: Billy has nothing prepared. We're doing it live.
T: DANG. So, when do we start?
B: It's started. Have you ever seen Snake Eyes?
C: It's not very good.
T: Wait, you have no questions prepared?
B: Well, when I found out you weren't going to be here I proposed we should write a mad lib and then call you, but Charles said you'd be mad.
T: I wouldn't be mad.
B: So we can call you back in ten minutes?
T: No way man. (Charles mouths "he's mad")
B: So it does make you mad?
T: It doesn't.
B: So we can call you back and do that?
T: No way. (Again Charles mouths "he's mad")
Music news ATL Death Fest schedule unveiled
Posted by Bobby Moore on Tue, May 21, 2013 at 1:07 PM
ATL Death Fest will be spread out across two venues in the East Atlanta Village, 529 and the Basement. Four of the seven touring acts are from other countries, including Cruciamentum from the U.K., Abigal from Japan, Australian d-beat band Kromosom, and Rotten Sound. The latter is a 20-year Finnish death metal veteran that will most likely steal the night with its headlining performance at 529's tiny showspace. The last band to go on that night will be the Basement's headliners Mangled, a local act with a chance to cement one of the top spots in the local death and thrash metal scene.

Live Review Broken Water ripped, locals held their own at Capsule
Posted by Bobby Moore on Mon, May 20, 2013 at 5:28 PM
- Bobby Moore
- Broken Water guitarist Jon Hanna briefly takes over vocal duties.
As good a show as you were going to find in the city two weekends ago was not in a typical venue. Instead, Olympia, Wash.'s Broken Water (Hardly Art), and locals Wymyns Prysyn and Dasher, forged an all-out assault at Capsule on May 11. While many were there to see the touring band, which backed up its hype with a solid set, the locals definitely held their own.

Music news Cosmic Psychos to play the Earl on Sept. 26
Posted by Bobby Moore on Mon, May 20, 2013 at 2:43 PM
The Cosmic Psychos announced today that the group is set to make a rare Atlanta appearance on at the Earl on Thurs., Sept. 26. Since forming in 1982, the legendary Australian punk trio has mixed wah pedals with '70s punk, and in the process became one of the strongest trestles in the bridge between CBGB's and grunge. They became inflential by cranking out catchy and intense songs about what, to them, seemed like relatable topics, such as rural living and dead kangaroos.
News of this Atlanta show leaked over the weekend via Facebook, as the group was already planning to be in Memphis in late September to play Goner Fest. The announcement comes shortly after the trailer for a documentary about the band, titled Blokes You Can Trust, hit the web as well.
Cosmic Psychos play the Earl on Thurs., Sept. 26. $10. 8:30 p.m. 488 Flat Shoals Ave. 404-522-3950.

- A crowd in Centennial Olympic Park dances along to Yeasayer's tunes
Atlanta's Centennial Park hosted the annual Party In The Park Saturday to a capacity crowd of all ages. This year's all day festival brought the happiest, most danceable acts that have ever graced Centennials lawn. Opening the festival was Atlanta's own quickly rising stars Electric Sons followed by the heavy rhythm clad Yeasayer, the party crowd favorite, L.A.'s Grouplove, British import of the day Ellie Goulding, and the evening finished with a set from Passion Pit. Despite threats of rain, not a single drop fell form the sky, giving festival goers a perfect day to enjoy the park.
