WHIRLYBALL SHOW: Black Lips, Gentleman Jesse & His Men, Baby Shakes, Coffin Bound

Henry over at Chunklet Magazine has done it again. Another Whirlyball Atlanta show, where the ticket is a 7" featuring unreleased songs from all the bands involved: Black Lips, Gentleman Jesse & His Men, Baby Shakes AND Coffin Bound...all for only $11 bucks!! It goes down on January 19th at Whirlyball Atlanta in Roswell with doors open @ 8pm. It is on sale exclusively through the insanely awesome Criminal Records in Atlanta (466 Moreland Ave., Atlanta, GA 30307). Hope to see some folks out for this, it should be a fuckin' blast!!

Oh and, thanks Asshole Santa..it's exactly what I wanted!!

Deerhunter "Whirlyball" 7" / Live MP3s of Deerhunter's Whirlyball Performance

Ahhh, I'm back. Busy, busy weekend. Alright, on to the good stuff. Henry over at Chunklet has re-printed the now infamous Deerhunter/Selmaniares/Coathangers/Carbonas "Whirlyball" 7" (sans ticket), in a pressing of 200 (100 black vinyl & 100 clear vinyl). Head over there and pick one of those up now & avoid the dreaded Ebay overcharge!! Also in Deerhunter/Whirlyball related news, the wonderful people over at Southern Shelter, have the live recording of Deerhunter's performance at the infamous Whirlyball show on June 1st, 2007 (once there, scroll down..the post with the Deerhunter MP3s was done on 6/03/07). Man, was that show fucking killer. Deerhunter is probably one of my all-time favorite live bands, and this was one of their best shows (at least of the ones I've seen). Enjoy!!

Mogwai's dicks!! Mogwai's dicks!! Mogwai's dicks!!

Ummm, you'll get it once you watch the video. All this Whirlyball-speak as of late got me thinkin' about the insanely awesome Mogwai show at Whirlyball Atlanta last year, so here's a video montage (fancy word for "many video clips, edited together & set to Phil Collins") of Mogwai's Chunklet/Whirlyball adventure (sounds like one of those Gremlins storybooks from the 80's!.....ding!, you may now flip the record over).

Henry DOES love his Whirlyball like a motherfucker.

Apparently Henry challenged Arcade Fire to Whirlyball last week. The word on tha' street is ol' Arcade Fire are quite aggressive Whirlyball players. They supposedly gave Team Chunklet a run for their money. Man, I knew Canadians were aggressive. You can't fool me with that laid back exterior, ay.

Ted Leo & The Pharmacists WHIRLYBALL SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, Henry over at Chunklet magazine is one Whirlyball lovin' motherfucker. He's now bringing Ted Leo to play a show at Whirlyball Atlanta (Roswell, GA). He's also probably challenged the band to a couple o' rounds Whirlyball, and he & Team Chunklet will probably kick the crap out them too (he apparently does this to all of the bad-ass bands he books shows for: Mogwai, Isis, The Melvins, Big Business...). Anyway, this means TWO Whirlyball shows this summer...Deerhunter and now Ted Leo (or as Henry calls him, Theo Leo :-)). We love you Henry, and your taste in music.
