Just ask Gyant of SOHH.com, who posted a rant yesterday claiming that Young Jeezy’s security jacked up his photographer Wednesday at the Tabernacle. The Atlanta-based rapper’s local concert coincided with the release of his third solo joint, The Recession. (Read CL’s feature on the new release.) Apparently, Gyant [...] http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/cribnotes/2008/07/02/calling-all-nightlife-photographers/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/cribnotes/2008/07/02/calling-all-nightlife-photographers/#comments Wed, 02 Jul 2008 15:00:48 +0000 TL Pixley http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/cribnotes/2008/07/02/calling-all-nightlife-photographers/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/cribnotes/2008/07/02/calling-all-nightlife-photographers/feed/ 0 CL has launched a new blog called Sideshow that exists merely so happy party-goers can see their happy faces the day after. We want to help people remember exactly how much fun they had before they were hungover. And we need a couple awesome photographers to do that.

He wrote CL’s popular “Music Menu” feature from 1978 until 1984 and was a fixture at local clubs. He championed bands he liked and wasn’t afraid to write witheringly [...] http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/cribnotes/2007/10/15/comeback-player-of-the-year-andre-3000/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/cribnotes/2007/10/15/comeback-player-of-the-year-andre-3000/#comments Mon, 15 Oct 2007 20:20:47 +0000 Mosi Reeves http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/cribnotes/2007/10/15/comeback-player-of-the-year-andre-3000/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/cribnotes/2007/10/15/comeback-player-of-the-year-andre-3000/feed/ 0 At the 2007 BET Hip-Hop Awards taping last Saturday, Oct. 13, DJ Drama spun his usual Gangsta Grillz mix during the event’s frequent production intervals. (During the three-hour taping, there was a performance and an award presentation, followed by a short intermission while BET’s producers set up the next performance.)

Since it was the final weekend of the summer — autumn officially began Sunday, Sept. 23 — there were great events happening all over the [...] http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/cribnotes/2007/09/04/polow-da-don-king-of-the-white-girls/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/cribnotes/2007/09/04/polow-da-don-king-of-the-white-girls/#comments Tue, 04 Sep 2007 15:00:52 +0000 Mosi Reeves http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/cribnotes/2007/09/04/polow-da-don-king-of-the-white-girls/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/cribnotes/2007/09/04/polow-da-don-king-of-the-white-girls/feed/ 0 Polow da Don, the producer behind pop-rap hits like Fergie’s “London Bridge” and “The Glamorous Life” and Rich Boy’s “Throw Some D’s,” has always been feeling himself. (For some background info, check out Edward Garnes’ Dec. 27, 2006, story here.) Judging by a recent interview with allhiphop.com, however, Polow’s arrogance has reached new heights.

Ever since I moved to Atlanta, I’ve heard bad things about the wine-and-cheese crowds that patronize the Classic Chastain concert series during the summer: how disconnected and self-involved they are, and how they talk loudly over the music. So I [...] http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/cribnotes/2007/08/17/manchester-orchestra-goes-big-time/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/cribnotes/2007/08/17/manchester-orchestra-goes-big-time/#comments Fri, 17 Aug 2007 16:00:42 +0000 Mosi Reeves http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/cribnotes/2007/08/17/manchester-orchestra-goes-big-time/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/cribnotes/2007/08/17/manchester-orchestra-goes-big-time/feed/ 1 MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA: Tours in hot-ass vans pay off. (Photo by Don Vancleave) Manchester Orchestra hasn’t been in Atlanta all year. Instead, the pop-rock band has been on one national tour after another — first as an opening act for Brand New, then as a co-headlining act with Colour Revolt. For most bands, this means sitting in a hot-ass [...]
