So, say you’re in the south. Which you may be. Unless you live next door to Patti, at which point you’re most assuredly not from deep in the heart of Dixie.
If that’s the case, just don’t listen. Unless you’re spending time with friends. Loved ones. Maybe you’re in town because you want to, for some strange reason, go to DSC.
(if that’s the case, here’s to being three days early. Tick tick like Karen O, playa.)
Regardless, you should know that Res favorite and all-around awesome purveyor of the baroque pop thing that both Trixie and I occasionally and verbosely proclaim our undying love for (more oft than not on Thursdays) Shara “My Brightest Diamond” Worden will not only be opening for Rasputina’s Vinyl Show in Atlanta (where we at Res, once upon a time in our halcyon (+on+on) days, caught this band you may have heard of, Rock Kills Kid, way back when they…um…made music?…) tomorrow, August 1st, but will also be playing the way-cool and highly intimate environment of Wordsmiths Books in Decatur (last known for hosting the St Vincent album release show).
The Wordsmiths show is solo, acoustic, free, and starts at 4pm. Or, just grab this hand-dandy flyer:
While Trixie and I may disagree (I find this track pale compared to the restrained sudden bow-snap psychebreak of the original to this remix, and the rest of the remix album, which chooses to enhance the ambient passages of the originals, is infinitely better), here’s a bit of Shara doing her “Freak Out”:
My Brightest Diamond: Freak Out (Gold Chains rmx)
this is one of my favorite remixes - sooo good!
