Alrighty, this week has been utterly busy, so I almost neglected the Pick of the Week! I'm going to go with a band that you may not really know, simply because they haven't played on too many bills that you'd normally find yourself attending (which I will be changing in January...). But nevertheless, they're pretty awesome. And they are Chainestereo. These guys, like I've said before, are young, and they have an interesting garage-poppy sound that's ultra intriguing and has me excited to hear what's going to come from them once they mature more as a band. I'm mentioning them because I know that they're about to release a CD in the very near future, and I honestly think you should give them some of your attention. Listen to "Magnetic South" on their MySpace page (linked above) to see what I'm talking about.
As far as Dick of the Week goes...well, no one has pissed me off, so I don't have one. It's amazing how all at once, people are becoming nicer...maybe it's the holidays or something.
**In addition to Pick of the Week today, I'm going to suggest you go check out the new design that KISS Atlanta has unveiled. It looks awesome.
**Also, WRAS is having their big benefit show on Saturday, December 2nd, at Eyedrum, and they're featuring the Selmanaires and an admitted local fav of mine, Boulevard. I'll be whooping it up and sucking down free top shelf drinks at the company Holiday Party, so that's a no go for me, but it sounds like it'll be well attended. Check out Cable and Tweed's post on it for more info.
**Lastly, you may or may not know this, but I lurve the Beatles. I haven't found the time to get on the Love release yet, but Pitchfork has...in case you're interested. I don't think the dude really cares for it. And, as most things "Pitchfork," I'll probably disagree.
Ally and I are recording podcast 2.0 tonight. We might be drunk for it. Stay tuned...

I wonder what lineup boulevard has? I saw them at the park tavern when they were a 2 piece electropop band (kinda sukked). Hopefully they have all the members or suitable replacements. See you there.
She ain't gonna be there, yo. I might though.
If you heart the Beatles, you'll probably like the 'Love' CD. It really is just a sort of mash-up/mix disc with nothing but Beatles songs and some new tidbits, but it's really enjoyable (other than perhaps what they did with "The Sun King", which gives me a headache). In fact, I'm going to listen to it right now. Woot.
No love for the Steve Wynn show at the Earl Saturday night? Will I have to dance with Jeff Clark all by myself??
Looks like it...I'll be at the Company party dancing to some horrible cover band, I'm sure.
@Brian: It appears it's only Stephen and Benji. Maybe.
