Crib Notes

The death of Michael Jackson continues to stir up buzz among the Atlanta music blogosphere. Straight from the “A” posts the final photos of the King of Pop.

Mariah Carey may be flirting with disaster again based on the recent pics of her dressed like a man on the set of Obsessed? Per Crunk and Disorderly:

Mariah will always be that crazy bitch pushing the ice cream cart on TRL  while rambling about butterflies, Hello Kitty stickers, and unicorns and shit to me. However, I will be say that she tries hard to make people give a damn about her. So people, do you give a damn?

7″ Atlanta has a fever and the only prescription is more Black Lips. Shows-a-plenty in the A, including a benefit for B Jay:

The Black Lips will play again Thursday at a sold-out show at The Earl and Friday as The Spooks with Zoroaster and more bands to be named at a WRAS benefit. A second benefit for BJ is Saturday at 529 and will feature The Carbonas in what will likely be there last show until at least next summer.
