Criminal Records Atlanta Adam & Shannon (aka the Lost Cause DJs) are spinning vinyl platters at the Highland Inn Ballroom Lounge tonight from 10pm until 2am. Just in case you're already in need of a break from the holiday/family stress. http://criminalatl.com/NewsItem/1847

Go get stuffed tonight - with the Lost Cause DJs! It's the night before Thanksgiving and you're probably going to have to sit around all day tomorrow with your family. What you need beforehand is a night out with your friends, some drinks, some good times, and some awesome music.

* Specifically, Adam and Buttons, who each wrote a nice chunk of the newsletter this week. Yes, Buttons aka Chris Daresta. He wrote something for the newsletter. I'm amazed too. ;)

Criminal Records Atlanta Just in case you're not following my "work" "progress" on Twitter, here are the highlights: Wyclef will PERFORM (not just sign stuff) next Wednesday. DJ Drama will be here, too. Jay Reatard will also perform next Thursday. And my mum is really excited about the upcoming Chipmunks "squeakquel."

@ Shelly -- That's hilarious. My Xmas goal is to find and buy (or make) a blingy acorn necklace like Simon has on the foldout poster that comes with the CD. I take my mum's chipmunk fandom VERY SERIOUSLY!

Criminal Records Atlanta Playing here very soon (like, ten minutes soon) is Patterson Hood (you know, of the Drive-By Truckers). He's on at 3pm. Then our theremin and lap steel playing friends, Duet For Theremin & Lap Steel will play at 4:30pm. Shannon's a little concerned about doing sound for a theremin, but I'm sure everything will work out just fine. ;)

Theremins can go from very low to very high very fast. Watch the levels, stay on your toes and all will be well. Wish I could be there, currently in Athens. Say hey to Patterson and Scott for me.

Criminal Records Atlanta Heavy Trash sounded fantastic. The boys have man-crushes on everyone in the band. I just have a regular ol' crush on Jon Spencer (old habits die hard). So nice in person, and so good live. We highly recommend that you go see them at the EARL tonight (21+). Tiger! Tiger! are opening. Tickets are available at the door (w...hich open at 8:30pm). We also highly recommend HT's new album. Very good!
