I know where I'll be on Friday...

Stomp and Stammer (a local Atlanta/Athens magazine) will be celebrating it's 11th Anniversary this Friday (11/30) at The Variety Playhouse with a showcase of some of Atlanta's best bands including The Black Lips, Deerhunter, Snowden, and the Selmanaires. Tickets are on sale now via Variety Playhouse website.

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!!

WHIRYBALL SHOW!! Deerhunter! The Coathangers! The Selmanaires! The Carbonas!

Whirlyball!! Yayyy!! What's that? "What's Whirlyball?", you say? Whirlyball is like playing lacrosse on a basketball court in bumper cars. No shit. It's fun as hell, and when you combine it with some super neat-o bands like Deerhunter, The Coathangers, The Selmanaires & The Carbonas then it's downright illegal. And we know how the kids love the illegal stuff. The show is on Friday, June 1st for only $10 (I'm assuming Whirlyball is not included in that price, it's probably extra), but that's not all!! Your ticket is a 7" with exclusive songs from all the bands on it!!! HOLY SHIT! I love exclamation marks!!!

Tickets only available at Criminal Records.
