From R@T, 12 p.m. EDT to 3 p.m. EDT
It is Homecoming weekend here in A-Camp. Lots of alumni are flooding the town, some sober, some not. I recommend coming up town and watching the parade. The 110 and the Alumni 110 are worth the parking hassles. One of my favorite times was when the parade went down Court Street and the alumni band stopped between Washington and Union and played Styx’s “Light Up!” The sound echoed off the buildings and was great.
I will be playing some music that I listened to in my undergrad years. That was the late ’80s and early ’90s, although I will sprinkle in some other times. I also have some music from bands that were from Athens that I will get to, bands like Day for Night and The Snapdragons. I will also look back at some of the great shows that I have seen in Athens.
From Michael T., 3 p.m. EDT to 6 p.m. EDT
Saturday 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. will feature the brand new St. Vincent disc MassEducation, a piano and voice reimaging of last year’s MASSEDUCTION. And in addition to the usual suspects, the balance of the show will be a Homecoming homage to OHIO bands past, present and future, with extra focus on the burgeoning Athens, Columbus and Cincinnati scenes.
