Kudos to big.peaches from the wayne fishell experiment (all lowercase, all the time) for pointing out to me that one of my favorite Atlanta bands, Hope For Agoldensummer (that I will miss, with all my heart, when I leave, and am determined to find a way to get to play New York gigs with a recurrent passion and fervor), shot a video for one of the standout songs on their Ariadne Thread album, “4th Night”.

There’s nothing I can say further about this song that I didn’t already write the day it kinda-sorta-maybe saved my life, or at least got me on steadier footing. The video, however, definitely features the sisters Campbell, a photo of third H FAGS member Deb Davis playing an accordion, and a farmer’s market that appears to either be in Acworth or Buford GA, or maybe possibly Buford Highway (GA locals represent!).
If you haven’t already gotten your hands on Ariadne Thread, do so at the H FAGS site. It’s a gorgeous collection of dark, melancholy, often-strange folk. You’ll have to content yourself with an MP3 download, though, as I think the hand-stitched hand-illustrated CDs have long since run out.
I do so hope you’ll help us get NYC shows with the same “recurrent passion and fervor.” I’m just sayin’.
And, p.s.: the market is the J & J Flea Market - an Athens institution.
