i miss the creative loafing! where you would just open up and read the events list. FButt sucks now and Insta doesn't have a calendar system. how is everyone finding things to do?

Edit: I don’t really want a newsletter- I want a site to check for things like tonight or this weekend. And I don’t want news either.

Add any shows you are going to or that people should know about in the comments. Here is my short list of noteworthy shows:

• Sarah Mclachlan – Chastain – 7/3
• Mikaela Davis – The Earl – 7/24
• Tame Impala w Djo – State Farm – 7/12
• Kurt Vile – The Eastern – 7/17

Just wanted to throw out some positive vibes for anyone who was going to see Oliver Tree tonight at The Eastern before we received the worst news two weeks ago.. I’m feeling the weight extra heavy today..

I will be throwing myself a concert tonight in my own living room while simultaneously crying. He would want that. 🖤🌲🛴

I am dying to see knocked loose with foundation at the masq, but I’m 17. I’m wondering how strict they are about ids or if I could use a school id since I’ll be a senior.

From my research, music practice spaces seem very limited in Atlanta. I'm an individual jazz musician looking for a place to rent long term preferably with 24/7 access or near that where I can practice and record music with minimalist setup freely for long periods of time. Definitely interested in negotiation if anyone knows any deals or even considering premium option.

I have been collecting songs with real place references since 2020. It started with songs I heard while driving, but over time I began mapping references from across the country.

It includes songs that mention Atlanta and Georgia towns, counties, rivers, highways, landmarks, neighborhoods, and regions, along with artists who have meaningful ties to the state.

Some locations are obvious, while others took a little digging. A lyric might name a town directly, refer to a river or road, or provide only enough context to make an educated guess.

The map is definitely not complete. I am sure I have missed some good songs, and there are probably a few locations or artist connections that need correcting. The full project now covers tens of thousands of lyrics, so keeping everything accurate has become a much larger job than I originally expected.

There is a “Report / Suggest” button near the top of the page where anyone can submit a correction, suggest a song, or request that something be added or feel free to mention it here. I would genuinely appreciate help from people who know Georgia better than I do.

What other Atlanta and Georgia songs, artists, or place references should I add?
