Fixation Focus: White Rabbits 22:02

among the albums that I'm slowly getting more and more into, i'm continually returning to White Rabbits' second LP, It's Frightening. like most people, i thought their last LP, Fort Nightly, had its high moments (I'm thinking of "The Plot"), but it wasn't that thorough of a record. with their most recent effort, the high moments aren't there, but it's a record that doesn't fall flat at any moment. it certainly helps to have Spoon's Britt Daniel manning the boards and producing the record. definitely one of my top records of the year, for sure.

and this video makes me yearn for some live White Rabbits. come to ATL, pls!

promote ATL music! 22:41

i have yet to see it (but i plan on doing such eventually), but here's a full-length documentary on the "scuzzy" ATL music scene, including acts like deerhunter, black lips, the selmanaires, mastodon, the coathangers, etc.
