Crib Notes

I’m Bobby Moore, the man behind the 7 Inch Atlanta blog. The blog is almost a year old, and it covers the live and studio output of many of Atlanta’s best punk and garage bands.

My mixtape

1. “Complete Control” by the Clash
2. “Oh Oh I Love Her So” by the Ramones
3. “Better Off Dead” by Le Peste
4. “Baby, Baby” by the Vibrators
5. “Bad Kids” by The Black Lips
6. “19th Nervous Breakdown” by the Rolling Stones
7. “My Love” by New Age Steppers
8. “Cruel To Be Kind” by Nick Lowe
9. “Dead Rainbow” by Dolly Mixture
10. “Sick On You” by Hollywood Brats

Favorite Atlanta-based band:

The Coathangers are easily my favorite Atlanta band of the moment. The girls have grown musically and as songwriters over the past couple of years without losing their senses of fun. Their live shows rarely disappoint, as they treat each outing as a holiday or birthday party. From early, sophomoric offerings like “Don’t Touch My Shit” to newer, well-crafted tunes like “Bury Me,” all of their songs make me happy whenever I hear them. No one else other than the Ramones cheers me up instantly the minute the needle drops. And the sad or angry songs do not quell this instant joy. Joey singing about poison hearts cheers me up, and so does Julia when she screams about breaking someone’s face.

My favorite band?
I’m torn here between Mastodon and Gentleman Jesse and His Men. I think I’ll have to go with GJ though. We just went on tour with them for a month and their songs were totally getting stuck in my head to the point where I was craving seeing their set every night just so I could have some peace of mind. Power pop is the future and Gentleman Jesse and His Men are the Jonahs Brothers of the ATL scene.

This week NylonMag.com posted a short “Mixtape” piece on Deerhunter. the post is all about a mixtape that Deerhunter drummer Moses Archuleta “made for his girlfriend, but gave to [Nylon] instead.”

Moses says…

“So, I tried really hard to come up with a mixtape, but to no avail. I’m usually pretty good at it, if I may say so myself. I had all these lofty ideas for different themed playlists (winter weather, van music, industrial, percussion favorites). I love doing it and it’s usually so easy. Maybe it was the impending mega-tour or overwhelming indecisiveness or who knows what, but I froze up and was unable to produce anything.

But I’m in DC right now on Election Day and it’s raining today and that was actually the jumping point for the last mixtape I put together. So, I leave you with a mixtape I made for my girlfriend a few weeks ago. (Ewwwww gross/Awwwww cute, etc.)”

Vague Fall 2008 theme. 60 minute cassette format. Enjoy.

Scott Walker – “It’s Raining Today”
Dislocation Dance – “Tyrannies Of Fun”
Quickspace – “The Flat Moon Society”
Unwound – “Demons Sing Love Songs”
Crystal Stilts – “Crystal Stilts”
My Bloody Valentine – “Thorn”
The Feelies – “Let’s Go”
Billy Bragg & Wilco – “California Stars”

T. Rex – “Mystic Lady”

First DJ Drama’s Atlanta-based Gangsta Grillz mixtape dynasty feels the RIAA pinch. Now Muxtape — 2008’s coolest online music-sharing tool — gets squeezed out by the Recording Industry Association of America.

Would somebody please tell this dinosaur of a music industry that every move it makes in the name of self-preservation only brings it one step closer to extinction?

Click here to read how Justin Ouellette created Muxtape and what he has in store for its future now that the powers that be have snuffed it out.
