Whoa whoa whoa, Graham Clise is in Witch? I saw J wearing an Annihilation Time shirt in one Youtube video, and thought to myself “Awesome,” and I know Witch played a show with Annihilation Time at some point. But this is even better.

I don’t recognize any of these other people, except Kurt Vile, I’ll have to check them out.

I heard J mention in an interview that he thinks highly of the band Earthless, I’m surprised Isaiah Mitchell wasn’t mentioned.

I have two guitar player friends who I know have never seen J play….I invited them both to come and see the show this Friday…one gladly took me up on an offer for a free ticket, as he would take a free ticket to just about anything, including wrestling monkeys…the other (and the one I really wanted to come) said…”I don’t know….I’ll think about it”…I called him after about 3 days and he was still on the fence…it is a Friday night, you know..I might have more important things to do. So….I gave his ticket away to a kid that REALLY,REALLY wants to see J.
Just YESTERDAY….this particular guitar player called me and said….”I just read in the Flagpole that Kurt Vile is going to be playing that show….I LOVE KURT VILE, OMG Kurt Vile, AAAAHYES….I’ll take that ticket”……I had to say….you one slow sorry Taurus…that ticket is gone…now you got to go and buy one on your on. Which may involve more steps than he is capable of negotiating without help from his wife. Then he went off, “I wish you had said Kurt Vile”
I had never head of this Kurt Vile until now but…I’m serious, Athens is buzzing about Kurt….I’ve dipped into several conversations recently about him.
