Music Midtown Stops the Music
Category: Music News
Posted by Mark Runyon | January 06, 2006 | 03:55 PM

Atlanta's biggest music festival is calling it a day after a 12-year run. Promoter Peter Conlon said the decision to end the grand yearly event stemmed from factors like low turnout over the last three years, inclement weather and problems relocating the event from Piedmont Park. Conlon said that in a good year the event would pull in 300,000 music lovers. The 2004 festival pulled in a mere 60,000. Other problem areas included competing with Vibefest, neighbor protests, more expensive talent and higher ticket prices.

Scrubs: Season 5 Premiere

Scrubs - Season 5 PremiereGrade: B- | Genre: Comedy
Summary: Scrubs is officially off to a decent start. I think its fate still remains a huge question mark, but the true fans will love to watch Braff, Faison, Chalke and the crew attempt to top their own unbridled wackiness.

All the Scrubs fanatics can quit their hyperventilating to catch a collective sigh of relief. After a painfully long hiatus, Zach Braff and company are back, and they're zanier than ever. Quit your cackling. It is possible I say. For instance, how many hub caps would one have to loose off their mental jalopy to have J.D. and Turk come together to play a multi-ethnic Siamese doctor? What about Eliot becoming known to her prestigious fellowship colleagues as the bank farter. And why does Bambi have a driving sock peeking out the top of his pants? See, I rest my case. It seems the Emmy winning comedy, who felt like he was taking cousin Edna to the prom due to NBC's horrible neglect in its fall scheduling, is giving the collective finger to just about anyone who is gullible enough to turn around and look. They are going to be as crazy as they want to be, and if it means cancellation, well bring it on sister. The docs of Sacred Heart don't have time to pussy foot around with those sensitive souls who might get offended or who watch J.D. trip for the four hundredth time and still don't get it.

The High Violets - To Where You Are

The High Violets -  To Where You AreGrade: B+ | Genre: Indie Pop
Summary: With two well-crafted releases behind them, and the positive buzz growing around them, The High Violets could find themselves on many playlists in the coming year.

On To Where You Are, The High Violets second long player, vocalist Kaitlyn Ni Donovan has taken over as fulltime lead vocalist, giving guitarist Clint Sargent the freedom to concentrate on building a thick canvas of sound for the singer to set her wispy voice against. The result is something that would be at home next to copies of old Curve, Slowdive, Lush or Cocteau Twins releases. More pop friendly than any of those bands ever managed to be; The High Violets seem poised to make indie/pop crossover history.
