ATL Zine Library benefit/Sriracha House show tonight

The Atlanta Zine Fest isn’t slated to go down until August of 2013, but co-founders Amanda Mills (Big Blonde Records) and Tracy Soo-Ming (Hoss/Fan Death Records) are already laying the groundwork. Tonight (Fri., May 25) they’re hosting a show at the Sriracha House and it serves a few utilitarian purposes: First, it’s a fundraiser for the Atlanta Zine Library and a release party for the AZL catalogue — a limited edition zine-style inventory of the library’s stock. It’s a means of putting next year’s zine festival on people’s radars as well, but more urgently, they’re putting a call for volunteers. “We need volunteers in any capacity you can imagine,” says Ming. “Designers, social media, idea people … even if you don’t think you can do anything but want to get involved, we’d love to meet people who are interested in what we’re doing.”

Santigold coming to Atlanta's ONE MusicFest 2012

Posted by Rodney Carmichael on Thu, May 24, 2012 at 7:28 PM

ONE MusicFest producer J. Carter has just announced Santigold will be a headliner at the third annual festival on Labor Day weekend, Sat., Sept. 1.

It'll mark the first third* Atlanta performance for Santigold, whose future-pop sophomore album Master of My Make-Believe dropped in April.

“Santigold embodies the essence of ONE Musicfest - music without borders,” says J. Carter, producer of ONE Musicfest. “ONE Musicfest embraces all genres of music and walks of life and Santi’s music speaks to this. We are honored to be the home of her first ever Atlanta performance.”

No word yet on the rest of the festival's 2012 lineup. But if organizers stay true to form, it'll be a genre-bending mix of progressive hip-hop, soul, and electro acts, such as past performers like Common, De La Soul, Chrisette Michele, the Pharcyde, and the Foreign Exhange.

Purchase tickets at onemusicfest.com.

*Ed. note: An earlier version of this post failed to account for Santigold's past Atlanta performances. Thanks, Good Witch, for the correction. One would think I'd remember her ’07 performance since I was at that Bjork show. Duhhh

New Whitney Houston: 'His Eye is On the Sparrow'

Posted by Rodney Carmichael on Wed, May 23, 2012 at 11:54 AM

Whitney-Houston-His-Eye-Is-On-the-Sparrow.jpg
Now that promotion for the upcoming film Sparkle (in theatres Aug. 17) has started, Whitney Houston is dropping new music like Tupac. The film was the last big project she completed before her sudden passing earlier this year.

Yesterday, Whitney Houston’s last recording was released (“Celebrate” feat. Jordin Sparks). And today, RCA Records released another single from the movie soundtrack. It's Houston's rendition of the classic gospel staple, "His Eye is On the Sparrow," which she also performs in the movie. It's one of those emotional church testimonials that's hard for young singers to deliver without making a vocal mess of things. But Houston keeps it old-school, backed by screeching organs and a full-blown choir at the climax.
