ASMW - Karma Lively

Pop Culture, memes No Comments »

I found a lot of good female vocalists this past week on AmieStreet. One of these was Karma Lively, who has “a hundred songs of peace and war,” is from “North to the Future” Alaska. Besides having a light, fun acoustic sound, and having something to say with her lyrics, She’s donating all of her music sales for the year on AmieStreet to charity. She has a sound that is somewhere in the neighborhood of The Cranberries, Jewel, and Sia.
It looks like she’s laying down all of the instrument tracks herself, which always gains a lot of points with me.

The Harvest

Pop Culture, Rants 1 Comment »

Now that the weather is cooling off, there are lots of shows and festivals cranking up. Saturday (tomorrow) in Atlanta is a really cool festival called Harvest Midtown. The tickets are a little steep for some, but not really bad when you see everything that comes with it.

There are fashion shows, tastings by many of the midtown restaurants, live music, and more stuff, besides also being a benefit to the American Liver Foundation.

Oh, and if you have kids, it’s a family-friendly event, and kids under 10 are admitted free with your adult ticket.

All the details are Here

I’m not entirely certain about whether it’s part of the same festival, but Saturday night (10/06/07), is the Harvest Art Show, which I am looking forward to seeing… It’s hard to really explain this one succinctly, but it’s an art show featuring erotic art, performance art, several DJ’s, burlesque players, etc etc… I think that it will be an awesome experience. The proceeds from this event benefit the Elton John Foundation, which supports HIV and AIDS prevention/education programs. I already hit Ticket Alternative the other day and got the tickets lined up. There are some really amazing photographers and pinup artists who will be there.

Both of these events will be lots of fun, and are also charitable, besides giving an opportunity to see more of Atlanta and meet some interesting people.
