MMJ Head Under the Sea for Prom

Want to see Jim James in a powder-blue tuxedo? Head on down to Athens…

MMJ Prom

MMJ can really use a copy editor, but this sounds like an incredible event:

For all of you who missed your prom back in 1956 or 1986 or 2006 for that matter, we will be hosting the 1st annual MMJ 2 night prom, March 6th and 7th, at the fabulous, prom-ready, 40 watt club in Athens! The first time we walked thru those hallowed 40 Watt doors we said to ourselves, “this place looks perfect for a prom!” And now the dream will be a reality. The theme is a futuristic/retro under the sea vibe – costumes (tuxes, suits, robots, mermaid and lobster costumes, anything prom/ocean related) are not only encouraged – they are MANDATORY!!! NO ONE will be admitted without proper attire!** There will be cake, balloons, fishnets, classic cars, chaperones, spankings, and a whole lotta shakin goin on – 2007 style upin this bitch ya’ll. Come prepared to dance the night away, and make up for all the proms you missed…

Right before our eyes, live painters offer eye candy and inspiration for art and music lovers alike.

Yes, The Kids Are Allright

Usually when we mention teenagers on this site there’s an immediate follow-up mention of either Pete Townshend or Gary Glitter. But this post is about precocious teenagers, not the kind that are physically exploited for kicks.

Head Yes-man Jon Anderson fronted Paul Green’s School of Rock All Stars last night at BB King’s for a unique take on the catalog of his 70s progressive rock outfit, and Hidden Track Podcaster General Mike Newman was smart enough to shuttle himself over to Times Square for the evening’s action.

Yes

Read on after the jump for more of Newman’s photos and a couple of YouTube videos of Anderson’s fantastic collaboration with the PGSRAS. And if the videos are any indication, we all definitely missed the boat on this one…

Patty Griffin: Sun Shining Through (INTERVIEW)

For Patty Griffin, praise hasn’t been the problem. The man who discovered her, John Curtis, after hearing her sing for the first time, remembered having “no doubt, no doubt at all.” Dave Matthews, who proudly supports Griffin on ATO Records, the label he founded, “can't think of a more beautiful singer and a better songwriter alive today.” Steve Earle suspects that Patty’s songs “make most people a little uncomfortable–like they've just walked in on a private moment in someone else's life and they know they should turn around and tiptoe away, but they can't. They make me jealous."
