There Ought to Be a Law Suggestions for the General Assembly in 2017

By Tom Crawford tcrawford@gareport.com July is a special time in Georgia—that’s when most of the laws passed during the previous legislative session take effect. This July was no exception, with new laws that allow students to use Tasers on college campuses and require state licenses for “lactation consultants” who assist breastfeeding mothers.

The General Assembly has operated continuously since 1777, so you might think that in the course of 239 years, we have passed enough laws to cover every aspect of life. You would be wrong. There is always some problem that requires a new law.

An Atlanta TV station sounded the alert recently on a public menace endangering the innocent citizens of our great state: the practice of surreptitiously positioning a camera so that photos are taken up the skirt of an unsuspecting woman. The Georgia Court of Appeals has ruled that because of a glitch in the state’s privacy law, such photos are legal outside the confines of a dressing room or bathroom stall.

Naturally, legislators are already jumping in to declare that we must pass yet another new statute to take care of that flaw. A new session won’t start until January, however, which means that “we’re going to have six months or so where these creeps can run around doing this stuff,” said state Sen. Vincent Fort (D-Atlanta).

I don’t know if we need to pass a prohibition against upskirt photography, but there are some areas where there really ought to be a law. Over the last four or five years, it seems that every time you turn around somebody is quitting their elected office to run for Congress or take a new job. An increasing number of legislators fail to finish the term to which they’ve been elected, which means that a special election must

be called to replace them. These special elections can cost taxpayers as much as $100,000 to hold. In the meantime, the residents of that district go unrepresented.

There ought to be a law that any politician who resigns before their term has ended will be required to pay for the special election out of their own personal funds— they can’t use leftover campaign contributions. Once people find out that they’re going to pay a hefty price for resigning early, I think you’ll see an amazingly large percentage of them decide to serve the entire term to which they’re elected.

There ought to be a law that any expenditure of more than $1 million in public money on a project for a private business entity should first go before the voters in a referendum for approval. This would have applied to those situations where Cobb County Commissioner Tim Lee and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed arranged to funnel hundreds of millions in tax funds to build stadiums for the Atlanta Braves and the Atlanta Falcons. In neither of those cases were the voters allowed to have a say on the proposed projects, which was grossly unfair.

There ought to be a law that lobbyists who appear before legislative committees to support or oppose a bill should be put under oath, just like witnesses in a court trial. I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard some lobbyist tell lawmakers something that everyone in the room knows is not true. The lawmakers will then pass the bill on the basis of this outrageous fib.

If you put lobbyists under oath, with the real possibility of being prosecuted for perjury if they are untruthful, you’ll have a much more honest legislative process.

It may not be as titillating as an upskirt photo, but at least it will be honest. f

“They are able to go to the park, get to that job, get to school if they wake up late, do any number of things,” Commissioner Kelly Girtz said.

Is This Anti-Discrimination Law Strong Enough?

Plus, Free Buses, Infill Housing, Terrapin Sold and More Local News

FLAGPOLE.COM ∙ JULY 27, 2016

Infill Housing: In five years or sooner, the tear-downbuild-bigger infill scenarios playing out in Normaltown and Five Points will happen in other Athens neighborhoods.

Homeowners in Green Acres, Cedar Creek, Forest Heights and Homewood Hills will watch and worry as 6,000-squarefoot houses go up on subdivided lots, changing the feel, scale and character of their neighborhood, as well as their tax bills.

Hank Joiner sketched out that scenario to his fellow

“

We’re setting a metric for how much home someone could have.

standards that draws upon the existing character of the residential development in the immediate vicinity of a residential infill site.”

By relying on text changes, the planning staff seems to have discarded an earlier idea to have neighborhoods themselves create conservation-overlay districts after deciding what features were important to them. The public was skeptical about the staff’s ability to administer multiple design overlays, and there was some confusion over whether neighborhood residents would be involved in the regulatory process, Lonnee said. The idea of creating an overlay district was “overwhelming for a neighborhood and created a lot of anxiety,” he told the commissioners. The perception from the public meeting is that the process was “too hard, it’s not going to work.”

Lonnee discussed a proposal to increase the side-yard setbacks and to allow for variable front-yard setbacks.

Front-yard setbacks would be based on how surrounding houses are positioned on their lots.

The staff considered taking floor-area regulations for commercial buildings and applying them to residential ones, with a maximum floor area for each zoning designation. “This is the first one where we are regulating the size of the person’s property they can build on a lot in a certain

neighborhood,” said Planning Director Brad Griffith. “We’re setting a metric for how much home someone could have.

This would apply everywhere, all lots, newly platted neighborhood, all existing single family zones.” In an email, Lonnee said the planning staff’s recommendations would be revised for floor-area sizes in neighborhoods zoned for single-family houses.

There will be another public meeting on Thursday, July 28 from 6–8 p.m. at Oconee Street United Methodist Church. The planning commission will receive a final set of recommendations on Thursday, Aug. 4. [Rebecca McCarthy] MillerCoorsTerrapin: “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em,” seems to be the attitude of both big beer conglomerates and many regional craft breweries. As craft beer becomes more and more popular, small breweries are bumping up against the limits of what they can produce and distribute.

Meanwhile, Big Beer is starting to recognize that consumers’ tastes have changed forever, and their adjunct lagers will never return to the dominance they once enjoyed.

These once-mortal enemies are increasingly opting to join forces.

That’s the backdrop against which MillerCoors’ craft and import division, Tenth and Blake, announced it’s buying a majority stake in Athens’ Terrapin Beer Co. (MillerCoors has owned a small interest in Terrapin since 2011, when it bought out investors who were feuding with founders John Cochran and Brian “Spike” Buckowski over the company’s aggressive growth strategy.)

Buckowski and Vice President of Marketing Dustin Watts told beerstreetjournal.com that Terrapin will remain the “same beer, brewed by the same people,” and MillerCoors promised that it would keep the brewery in Athens, and Terrapin would continue to operate independently.

That may very well be the case. MillerCoors, AnheuserBusch InBev and other beer behemoths have largely left their recent acquisitions alone. Maybe this simply means that Terrapin will have the means to expand while maintaining its quality, and consumers will never notice the difference. But the fact remains that Terrapin will be nothing more than a line item in a quarterly spreadsheet. At any time MillerCoors (or Molson Coors, should MillerCoors’ parent company, SABMiller, merge with A-B InBev and spin off MillerCoors, as expected) could close the brewery, lay off its 120 employees and brew elsewhere an inferior version of Hopsecutioner, the Champagne of IPAs, to sell across the country.

Cochran is leaving the company (Buckowski will stay on) reportedly because he’s frustrated with Georgia’s antiquated beer laws. Ironically, Terrapin’s profits will no longer go toward changing those laws, but will be used to pay powerful lobbyists and make donations to legislators to ensure they stay in place. [BA] f

Extension Office: UGA-owned property off South Milledge Avenue might be a logical location for a new UGA Cooperative Extension office, but in spite of making “every effort” to convince UGA to let ACC build the new office there, “that did not happen,” according to Sims, who heads up the county’s site selection committee.

So the committee has recommended building the extension office in conjunction with a new fire station in an office park off Atlanta Highway. The move would also save ACC money, as officials budgeted only $2.5 million in SPLOST funding for the building, which is not enough to buy land in addition to paying for construction and still build a building large enough to meet the extension service’s needs.

(The current office, on West Broad Street, was built for four people but now houses 16 employees.)

Commissioner Jared Bailey said he still wants to see the extension office—a resource for local farmers and gardeners—in a more central, visible location. “I just can’t support it being there” on Cleveland Road, he said.

Commissioner Andy Herod, who’s been fighting for a Lexington Road site, said the Cleveland Road site could be too far away from the Eastside, where the majority of farms in Clarke County are located. But NeSmith and Dickerson noted that it wouldn’t take longer to get to the proposed site than the current one because Eastside drivers could hop on the Loop. “It’s a destination, I guess is my point,” Dickerson said. “You’re going because you have to go, or you want to go.” [BA]

ACC Planning Commission members at a meeting several weeks ago. Along with member Lucy Rowland, Joiner pushed for the local government to become proactive instead of reactive, and is advocating for revisions in ACC design standards. The two encouraged Senior Planner Bruce Lonnee to work on text amendments regarding the context-sensitive design process and development regulations.

Lonnee has done just that. At a July 21 planning commission work session, he discussed the reception proposals have received from the public since October. And Lonnee outlined formulas for determining how large a house could be built in an area with single-family zoning—although these will change before next Thursday.

The public response to creating incentives and holding educational forums has been positive, Lonnee said, but respondents have said those are not a standalone solution.

For establishing a single-family house plans-review process, “most comments are ambivalent, several are supportive,” Lonnee reported. Streamlining the review process needs to benefit homeowners as well as developers, the public has said.

Respondents considered scale and massing, setback and orientation and grading and retaining-wall scale as the most important context-sensitive development standards.

not enough to build it, and county officials are recommending pulling another $1.4 million from interest earned on sales tax revenue and unspent money from other SPLOST 2005 projects, including a vaguely worded business corridor infrastructure project.

Commissioners Kelly Girtz and Mike Hamby objected to spending the business corridor money, saying it could be better used elsewhere, such as downtown. “I’d prefer for us to look somewhere else for that amount of money,” Hamby said.

But five years into SPLOST 2011, SPLOST 2005 is winding down, county manager Blaine Williams told them, and SPLOST 2011 dollars can’t be spent on SPLOST 2005 projects. “Why don’t y’all let us think on that,” he said. “There may be another way to make up that gap.” [BA]

Happek says that whether we’ve eaten a loaf made from heirloom or ancient grains before, we know what good bread tastes like. Good bread, any baker will tell you, takes time. Almost every bread The Comerian produces must rise overnight, and some even require a 14-hour bake.

Rediscovering traditional bread grains and baking techniques, says Happek, reminds us how good bread used to be and can be now. As local bakers continue to experiment with new grains—spelt is the next on the list for The Comerian—Happek hopes the community continues to embrace new products. f

Star Trek Beyond, the third entry in the reboot’s “Kelvin Timeline,” feels like a bigscreen episode of the original series, minus the destruction of another Enterprise—an event referring back to the original third film, The Search for Spock. Nothing in Beyond would have seemed out of the ordinary had the crew of the Enterprise beamed down to the mysterious planet hidden in a nebula near the newest Federation starbase rather than crash-landed after the Enterprise was destroyed by a swarm of ships led by the villainous Krall (Idris Elba).

Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott (Simon Pegg, who co-wrote a script filled equally with the action of Into Darkness and the humor of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home) helps out by recruiting an alien ally named Jaylah (Sofia Boutella).

Director Justin Lin reigned over the super-successful third, fourth, fifth and sixth Fast and the Furious exercises; each improved upon its predecessor. Lin has proven himself a more-than-capable helmer of top-notch action, and Star Trek Beyond does little to damage that reputation, even if he does shoot Kirk and Chekhov’s action set-piece aboard the crashed saucer section of the Enterprise too darkly to be as thrilling as it could be. Otherwise, the pace is swift, the action kinetic and the narrative clear.

Autovision Art Car Rally Southeastern Artists Cruise in with Wild Rides

By Jessica Smith arts@flagpole.com Many of the cars serve as solid representations of their Rolling along roads like miniature mobile exhibitions, art drivers’ overall aesthetic and larger body of work. The cars turn heads wherever they travel. Most often created by black-and-white “CrispyRide� and the blue-and-black “Zig self-taught, visionary and folk artists, these eye-catching vehicles vary greatly in theme and style but share a common Zag,� which belongs to the artist Holly. Just Holly, were both painted by Nack, who is the owner of Crispy Printz, a thread of entertaining and inspiring those whose pathways Cornelia-based screenprinting business. Nack is the mural they cross. While the earliest examples of art cars popped artist who has been painting walls around Athens left and up in the ’60s as painted VW buses, it wasn’t until the ’90s right over the past few years—Journey Juice, Ruby Sue when communities began coalescing across the country.

Northeast Georgia happens to be a hub for these unusual automobiles, and the Farmington Depot Gallery—a quick 15 miles from Athens—will showcase a dozen at the first-ever Autovision this Saturday and Sunday. “I love the fact that my cars make people smile,� says Peter Loose, the rally’s organizer.

Loose is the proud owner of not one but two art cars. The “ClydeMobile� is a Ford truck originally transformed by renowned artist Clyde Jones, whose home in the small town of Bynum, NC was put on the map of roadside oddities as the “Critter Crossing� for his animal sculptures born from log remnants and stumps. Loose’s “Snakes on a Van�—exactly what it sounds like—is “the world’s only traveling Snake Art Museum,� and celebrates the misunderstood creature that so often appears in the folk artist’s distinctively dotted paintings. Loose has participated in parades in cities like Houston and Chattanooga, and logged over 400,000 miles in the ClydeMobile so far. “My childhood memories of the Batmobile and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang have always opened my eyes to the no-limit car vibe,� says Loose. “Chris Hubbard was a local inspiration.�

Far ahead of what became a national art trend, Chris Hubbard was “reborn� as an artist and began constructing his own art car in 1998 after a 20-year career in science. His “Heaven and Hell Car� explores the good-versus-bad dichotomy that exists within every person internally striving to live virtuously, but who occasionally succumbs to Chris Hubbard the complexity of human nature.

From sunrise to sundown each day, artists will share the histories and inspirations behind their cars, and everyone will bring original pieces of artwork to sell. Hubbard will periodically offer talks on the art-car world at large, and spontaneous parades have been promised to occur. Due to the natural wear and tear the vehicles are subject to, many of the artists will take the opportunity to touch up paint or add new ornamentation, including Loose, who is inviting everyone to help him repaint the “ClydeMobile.� For anyone ready to take the plunge and start decorating a vehicle of their own, artists will be more than willing to lend a helping hand.

The gallery itself—housed within a historic train depot built at the turn of the century—will be open all weekend for visitors to peruse the collection of artwork contributed by its members, who cooperatively own and staff the gallery. In addition to folk paintings by Loose and functional pottery by Holly, you’ll find rural landscapes by Matt Alston and John Cleaveland, fused glass jewelry by Annette Paskiewicz, paintings by Dan Smith, mosaics by Marian Maxey Smith and sculptural works by Phil Goulding, Michael Pierce and Cheri Wranosky. f

Time Capsule Pylon Live Captures a Great Band at its Greatest

By Bobby Moore music@flagpole.com

W

hen Chunklet’s Henry Owings began pursuing a Pylon recording from 1981–’83 for a potential live-album release, the seminal Athens rockers had just two simple requests. “It had to sound good and be an Athens show of significance, or at least at a venue of significance,” Owings says.

The end result, a double LP titled Pylon Live, is a professional-quality recording that epitomizes a pivotal time in local indie rock. It commemorates Pylon’s initial 1979–’83 run’s swan song at the Mad Hatter—a set that was also filmed for a failed PBS pilot, “Athens Shows”—and verifies bassist Michael Lachowski’s firm belief that the band was always at its best live.

Owings first reached out to the band to reclaim his copy of Chomp’s album sleeve, which he’d loaned them for the 2009 DFA CD reissue Chomp More. Both that reissue and 2007’s Gyrate Plus included remixes and 4-track demos as bonus tracks, but completely lacked representations of the band’s highly lauded live sound.

“I was personally curious as to why, when both reissues came out, there was really nothing of substance included as bonus material,” Owings says. “In fact, I was dissatisfied with it. About two years ago, it dawned on me I never got the cover back… I emailed Michael out of the blue and said, ‘Hey, can I get that jacket back?’ Then I just said, ‘As a fan, I’m curious why you didn’t include [any live material] with the reissues.

I thought you left a really golden opportunity there.’”

That interaction sparked a broader discussion that ultimately found Owings seeking out recordings for a live archival release. Months of searching and hours of listening ceased once Owings found a tape labeled “Mad Hatter 1983, Tape 3 of 3”—presumably a reference mix for professional recordings. The tape was in a box of band-related materials compiled by the band’s late guitarist, Randy Bewley. Singer Vanessa Briscoe Hay acquired the box following Bewley’s 2009 passing. “Randy had been the archivist for the band, and had every practice and board tape in there,” she says.

Per a suggestion by local engineer David Barbe, Owings contacted Atlanta musician Jeff Calder (of The Swimming Pool Q’s), who unknowingly possessed the quintessential hidden Pylon gem. “I helped Pylon with their reissues of Gyrate and Chomp that came out a few years ago,” Calder says. “I helped them reorganize the tapes for mastering, essentially.

Somehow, in the process, I ended up with the tapes for this Mad Hatter show. I didn’t really know that I had them.

‘Pylon’ was scrawled in really light pencil on the side of the box. It didn’t even say ‘Mad Hatter.’ It was easy to overlook these tapes.”

Even with the reels in hand, Owings still wasn’t 100 percent sure he’d found the proverbial holy grail. “Keep in mind this is a 30-year-old tape,” he says. “I don’t know how it’s been taken care of, so it might be dust. It might be garbage. I had it sent to a place called Sonicraft in New Jersey.

I had no idea what I had on these tapes at this point… It wasn’t until I went and sat in the studio with Pylon that I knew that I had anything. Up to that point, it was largely a crapshoot.”

The arduous process was still a few steps from completion, starting with additional mixing by Elephant 6 veteran Derek Almstead.

“He would send me an example of a mix, and I would offer input,” says Briscoe Hay. “He kept going back until he got it as good as he could [make it sound] for a live 4-track audio recording. Michael Lachowski, Henry Owings and I came in for the final mixing and tweaking. I was pretty happy with the sound quality at that point. Then the mix

was sent to Drew Crumbaugh, who had some experience mastering post-punk live recordings by bands like Joy Division, and then over to have the lacquers cut by Bob Weston in Chicago. Michael Lachowski did the design and gave the package the look of Pylon. Henry got every part of the process covered correctly to help create this artifact, which we are all pretty happy with.”

The end result is a pristine-sounding example of a great band at its greatest, including a couple of rarities in seldom-heard jam “Party Zone” and a clever sendup of the “Batman” TV series theme. “We had been playing a lot that fall before we broke up, and as this recording shows, we were really at the top of our form,” Lachowski says. “We went through our set as we’d prepared to play it that night, but being our last show, there were insistent calls for us to play another encore. So we pulled out the silliness that is ‘Party Zone,’ and when pressed for still more, we banged out ‘Batman,’ a song that was from the very beginnings of Pylon, with our own lyrics about our art-studio neighbor and friend, Sean Bourne.”

The Mad Hatter, which drummer Curtis Crowe remembers as a “big, barn-type frat hangout,” is the only piece of the equation that lacks subcultural cred. “I can’t remember exactly how we came to the decision to play the Mad Hatter,” Crowe says. “I’m sure it was torturous. To me, at least, it was the belly of the beast. In the end, I’m sure it was a space thing… Knowing that there would be probably 1,000-plus people limited our selection considerably.”

A 40-minute version of the TV pilot, featuring about 20 minutes of footage from both Pylon and opening act Love Tractor’s sets, will be unveiled for the first time since a February 1984 viewing party at the live album’s release shows Friday, July 29 at The Earl in Atlanta and Saturday, July 30 at the 40 Watt. Both shows will be a multimedia celebration of recordings that might have been lost to time were it not for the tireless efforts of Owings and the band’s surviving members. f

Cinemechanica Gets Mean

Tommy Stinson Visits Old Friends, Debuts New Music in Athens

Plus, More Music News and Gossip

By Dan Mistich music@flagpole.com

By Gordon Lamb threatsandpromises@flagpole.com

A

few days before The Replacements’ founding bassist, Tommy Stinson, takes the stage to perform for an audience of roughly 100 here in Athens, his other former band, Guns N’ Roses, is scheduled to welcome tens of thousands to the jungle at the Georgia Dome. But if you suspect Stinson feels like he’s suffered some sort of career demotion, you’re wrong.

Also featuring guitarist Chip Roberts, Stinson’s summer tour, billed as “Cowboys in the Campfire,” will hit breweries, record stores, art galleries and other small spaces to preview songs from a forthcoming record, due either this fall or early next year. This mode of touring may seem unorthodox to a musician with a resume like Stinson’s, but he says it’s exactly what he wants to do at this moment in his career.

“I wanted to go and do something fun and low-maintenance with a guitar on my back and a couple of friends. I just felt like, next to busking, this is the closest that I’m gonna get to that,” Stinson says of his jaunt around the Eastern Seaboard and Midwest.

Stinson says the tour is a good way to pass the time before details are released about the new album, which he completed earlier this year. Although the songs were recorded at his home studio, Stinson has been relatively quiet about the project’s particulars. Nevertheless, he says the album is very much “a band record,” rather than a completely solo venture.

“I’ve always liked the band thing—the camaraderie, the team vibe. It’s always been a huge thing to me,” Stinson says. “I wanted it to feel good and sound like it was a bunch of people hacking it out together and getting that rock and roll thing.”

As for his relationship with Axl Rose and company, Stinson makes it clear that

there isn’t a drop of bad blood. “I’m not an ambassador of goodwill because I need to be. They’re my friends, and I’m glad for them,” he says.

Having served as Guns N’ Roses’ bassist and musical director, Stinson says he’s totally at ease handing the torch back to the group’s original members for one of this year’s most anticipated tours. “All of those people are my friends—the band guys, the crew guys. The only one I don’t know is Slash. I don’t think I’ve ever really met him. But I’m friends with all of them, Axl included.”

Stinson has also grown used to answering questions about The Replacements since that band abruptly ended its reunion last year. He says that, while he and Paul Westerberg exchange texts and phone calls regularly, there are no current plans for another collaboration between the two, Replacements-related or otherwise.

“We did our thing… We’ll probably play something together again. We never said we wouldn’t,” says Stinson, quelling any rumors that the Minneapolis legends ended things out of spite. “As for anything in the works? Not a thing.”

Stinson’s current project will bring him back to Athens, where The Replacements had their fair share of raucous fun in the ’80s. While it’s been several years since he last performed in town, Stinson says he looks forward to seeing old friends during his visit.

“There’d be a lot of times when we’d roll into town and be there for a little while and meet friends and some lifelong friends. In Athens, it’s R.E.M. I’m looking forward to seeing old faces that I haven’t seen in awhile.”

In terms of the big picture, although others from his generation have lamented the changing music industry, Stinson says there’s no need to sound any alarm. “I think there are options. I think the world is still our oyster,” says Stinson, commenting on how the seismic shifts in popular culture have impacted his approach.

Instead of focusing on yesteryear, Stinson would rather get to work doing the thing he does best: playing for a crowd, regardless of the size. “I have an inner drive that has nothing to do with who is going to be there. I just go and do my thing,” he says. f

METAL HEALTH: Cinemechanica will release its first LP in a decade Sept. 23 via Athens’ Arrowhawk Records. It’s self-titled, features nine tracks and is a sea change in terms of aggressiveness. Where the band’s 2006 album, The Martial Arts, clearly displayed its math-rock skills, this new album pretty much swallows that one whole and sounds in many ways like a totally different band. If you’ve seen Cinemechanica live over the past few years, you’ll get it, but new listeners will likely gravitate toward one sound or the other. This sheen of anger

The story takes place in the future, and the protagonist, bored of life on Earth, escapes to a pleasure-centered satellite, gets dosed with space LSD, trips out and starts trying to find his way home. This music is written from Gray’s perspective and features elements of futuristic electro-pop, vaporwave (which is, as a genre, exceedingly nostalgic and fitting for a project like this) and synthpop. If you’re not careful, you’ll fall asleep listening to it. The music is pleasant and painless, even with the tension in its story.

Cinemechanica

was midwifed by Kurt Ballou (Converge) and Kevin Ratterman (Young Widows), who each had a hand in the recording. The current lineup of Cinemechanica features longtime members Bryant Williamson, Mike Albanese and Joel Hatstat, as well as Bryan Aiken (Lazer/Wulf), who took the place of Jordan Olivera (Manray), with whom the new LP was recorded. For more information, see arrowhawkrecords.com and facebook.com/cinemechanica.

GONE FISHIN’: After four years of Athens Intensified, the live music event I started in 2012, I’ve decided to take 2016 off. As any event organizer can tell you, this type of work may be rewarding but is utterly exhausting, even with a full staff on board.

With my tiny staff of one, it’s been that and more. Right now the event looks to return in the future, but who knows? At any rate, I wanna say thanks to everyone who attended shows, sponsored the shows, covered the shows in the press, helped out and was generally supportive. It all means an awful lot, y’all. Look for shows to continue to be promoted under the AI banner, but for now, larger things are sidelined. Receive intermittent updates at athensintensified. com and facebook.com/athensintensified.

DREAM A LITTLE DREAM: Jake Chisenhall of Fake Flowers just released a new electronic album under the name Delorean Gray. It’s supposed to function as a soundtrack/companion piece to a science fiction story about a guy named Delorean Gray, and when the comic book is out, it will be packaged

This release is titled Hokkaido Overwash, and a cassette comes courtesy of Marching Banana Records. You can check it out at graydelorean.bandcamp.com and order cassettes via marchingbanana.bandcamp.com.

MAKE A PLAN: You’ve got plenty of time to mark your calendar for the Thursday Scholarship Series presented by UGA’s Hugh Hodgson School of Music. The schedule for the upcoming 2016–2017 series was released last week, and the first performance is Aug. 25 with a “Golden Age Band Concert” (quotes are theirs, not mine). The concert, which begins at 7:30 p.m., features selections from the “golden age” of American bands (late 1800s–early 1900s). The purpose of this series is to “make each concert into an event, with opportunities… to deepen and enhance the experience of listening to the School of Music’s unparalleled talent.” See music.uga. edu for more information and tickets.

I WON’T STICK ANY OF YOU UNLESS AND UNTIL I CAN STICK ALL OF YOU: Athens powerviolence and noise-terror band Shiv released its newest blast of bile and fury, Cellblock 1982. While it breaks no new ground—it owes a hell of a lot to each genre’s history and themes of judging society fiercely and without mercy—its place among the best Athens records of 2016 is assured. At least by me. I jammed this thing, which clocks in at 13 minutes, four times before writing about it. Now it’s your turn, so head to shivpv.bandcamp.com. A cassette is coming soon via Atlanta label Murder On Ponce. f

EVENT | Sun, Jul 31

Heirloom Café · 5:30–6:30 p.m. · FREE! Founded in 1919 as an organization dedicated to the advancement of visual arts, the Athens Art Association currently exists as a network of more than 40 active members. The group meets the first Thursday of every month at 7 p.m. at the Lyndon House Arts Center, where artists can discuss member-generated topics of interest and share their latest creations for supportive feedback. This exhibition, on view through Monday, Aug. 29, highlights artwork by 27 members, including Judy Buckley, Susie Burch, Amanda and Jack Burk, O.C. Carlisle, Claire and Robert Clements, Nancy Everett, Dortha Jacobson, Alice Pruitt and Chris Langone. [Jessica Smith]

Live Wire Athens · 9 p.m. · $5–7 Enjoy an evening of hometown hip hop at Live Wire Friday, where a cast of up-and-coming locals will make their case for Athens as a resurgent rap hotbed. As the event’s title suggests, featured artists draw stylistically from an earlier era; rather than board the trap train, parroting Atlanta MCs like Gucci Mane or Future, this generation of Classic City musicians throws back to the propulsive, organic sound of the mid-’90s underground. Son1, Scott Sutton and DJ Luke Highwalker; Lingua Franca; Blacknerdninja; Last Trip; and Emissary89 will perform. We say it often, but again: If you’re not up on the local hip hop scene, you’re missing out.

[Gabe Vodicka]

Georgia Theatre Roof · 10 p.m. · FREE! An established favorite among the East Nashville hipster set, Tennessee-based duo Electric Western—comprised of DJs Jacob Jones and Reno Bo—has hosted a popular Monday-night dance party at Music City hangout The 5 Spot for the last fiveplus years. The group, which also hosts a monthly throwdown in Atlanta and is planning to expand its operation to other cities, including Minneapolis, is bringing its show to Athens Friday. Electric Western’s highoctane playlists are culled largely from the 1950s and ’60s and focus on garage-rock, soul, doo-wop, girl groups and other tasty treasures from the era— both well-known tracks and more obscure gems. [GV]

Go Bar · 10 p.m.

After three years, Harsh Words is calling it quits. Made up of Jason Griffin, Tom Needham and Brandon Goss, the band was another supergroup-esque permutation of Athens’ incestuous (figuratively speaking) punk scene. Though its lifespan was short, Harsh Words produced two albums of blistering rock and stands as one of the most exciting live acts in town. Needham is moving, but don’t fret: Griffin and Goss’ BATHROOM/S is still performing, and in Athens, when one punk band comes to an end, five rise to take its place. Make the most of what time you have left on this earth and let Harsh Words blow your eardrums out one last time. [Nathan Kerce]

The World Famous · 9 pm. · $3 1970s power-pop legend Frank Secich makes his way to the South to read from his autobiography and perform songs selected from his fourdecade career. His memoir, Circumstantial Evidence: Tall Tales, Live Music and Crime Scene Photos, shares memories of playing with Blue Ash, Stiv Bators, Deadbeat Poets and the Dead Boys. Many of the images appearing in the book were captured by photographer Theresa Kereakes—who offers a heavy dose of punk rock history through her blog Punk Turns 30—and she will host an exhibit earlier in the afternoon.

Zach Keim of Pittsburg band Nox Boys and locals V.G. Minus share the bill. [JS]

EVERY animal at Bear Hollow is non-releasable into the wild due to some factor that would keep them from surviving on their own. Some were abandoned pets that cannot provide for themselves, many were injured by cars, and some were orphans raised by humans and are now too tame and would end up shot by hunters or frightened homeowners that misunderstood their approach.
