KIBBLES AND BITS! KIBBLES AND BITS AND BITS AND BITS AND BITS.....

Welcome to Kibbles and Bits.........i getcha up to speed.......actually, getting you up to speed is a chore this time......because i'm such a self-absorbed prick that my head has not been in the game here lately.......hence the pause.

Here's what i know right now..........CONFEDERATION OF LOUDNESS marches on with or without the benefit of web input by myself or my collaborator STONEY over to LOKAL LOUDNESS......as scene documentarians, we have been remiss....we each have web DEAD ZONES lately.......regardless, COL rolls on............in the coming weeks we have scheduled appearances by SECRET SWIM and MATTHEW BUZZELL along with COCO RUBIO(pimping their WESTOBOU entry 13 MOST BEAUTIFUL featuring DEAN WAREHAM and his wife BRITTA providing soundtrack).....we'll talk more about that later.....hipsters need to pay attention to this show.........listen to COL 3 sundays from now to get the details........we will also be attempting a live taping of the show with a studio audience featuring SUNS COLLIDE as soon as we figure that one out.........it'll be good.........

TIM BRANTLEY sighting..........did you guys know that every year, some pretty special songwriters gather and collaborate in ........wait for it...........SOUTH AUGUSTA?..........wha?.......yep........there is a compound off Bennock Mill Road out past the paper plant...........it looks like you just stepped into a luxury spa surrounded by 2500 acres of central Georgia.........SIXTHMAN out of Atlanta hosts a retreat here each year for songwriters..........TIM BRANTLEY was there monday night..........some of these collaborations end up on hit records........and none of the artists involved ever have to acknowledge the fact that they were ever in south Augusta........because it sure doesn't look like south Augusta..........

Rumour has it..........some of the finalists for THE AUGUSTA CHRONICLE SINGER-SONGWRITER CONTEST(just freaking change the name to SONGWRITER contest and end the silly debate) are THE G-CITY ROCKERS, DEM iMONDE and WYATT GRAVES(son of Joe).........

Will you see the release of the debut full length by 48VOLT at SKY CITY on Friday Sept. 10th?.........maybe........what you will see for sure is a performance by the band along with what will be(i'm sure) stellar performances by HORSEPOWER and SECRET SWIM...........the whole shindig will be the icing on the cake for the night of BORDER BASH...........10 or 12 thousand extra people downtown CAN'T hurt...........

Is VEARA on tour in Australia?.........that is freaking AWESOME!..........

I have been appreciating the creative arc of CAREY MURDOCK lately..........i've heard some of the recorded material that CAREY has been working on with PAT BLANCHARD at RIVERSIDE STUDIOS and it peeled my cap back.......CAREY has come to appreciate a less nebulous approach to song structure and i think it serves his voice and musical vision quite well.......the input by BLANCHARD on the production side does NOT hurt his cause........organic songwriting by a gifted voice with an interesting vision paired with a progressive bent in the backing band?.........i see interesting things in the future there........

STONE DOGS are awesome!

That is all for now............

See y'all at the rock show......
