The Brooklynite's live Blue Note NYC set proves the singer has talent beyond her looks
by L. Michael Gipson
The musical talent of the beautiful often gets dismissed, since so many elevated to fame lack it. A Ford model, Maiysha's much-hyped, low-performing, Grammy-nominated soul-rock debut, This Much Is True, might have fallen prey to those who saw the classic features and statuesque physique and assumed the singer/songwriter was manufactured.…

Honestly, I think there's more anticipation for this album than there's is for Atlanta's trap-or-die triumvirate — T.I., Jeezy, and Gucci — combined.… [ Read more ] Download the Glands' surprise Athens showAs already noted, Athens pop institution the Glands played a "surprise" set last night at the Flicker Theatre & Bar (they were billed as Funtime Freedom Singers).

Mapping the Present Just Went By at the Madison-Morgan Cultural Center offers a community collage
by Cinque Hicks
Atlanta photographer and painter Lynn Marshall-Linnemeier almost became an artist ensconced in the wine-and-cheese museum crowd. But her career took a left turn, the artist choosing instead to work in small communities, mostly in the rural South, excavating the hidden local histories that often go overlooked.…

Petraeus has spoken out against a Gainesville, Fla., church that plans to burn copies of the Koran on the anniversary of 9/11, saying "it could endanger troops and it could endanger the overall effort."
