Live Review: Deerhunter at 40 Watt Club, Saturday, Nov. 16
Elf Power, the opener at the 40 Watt Saturday night, was very good. It was no surprise; Elf Power is usually very good. But I'd like to take a quick minute to talk about Deerhunter, because Deerhunter was fucking great.

Live Review: Peter Buck and Kevn Kinney at 40 Watt Club, Thursday, Nov. 14
The first thing everyone present at the 40 Watt last night found out was that Peter Buck has quite the voice. It’s probably more accurate to call it a growl or a snarl, but rest assured that Buck’s guitar playing isn’t the only thing that is capable of blistering audience’s ears.

Hear an Explosive New Track from Uncle Pizza (Feat. JuBee, murk daddy flex)
Below, stream a just-released track from Uncle Pizza, the mysterious, Italian-food-themed new collaboration between local MC Dwayne "JuBee" Webb (of JuBee and the Morning After), producer murk daddy flex, whose sample-driven instrumental hip hop has been a Flagpole favorite this year and "Tony Rigatoni," a.k.a. Woodfangs' Elliott Anderson.
The delicious "Dynomite" is a saucy, cheesed-up slice of fuzzed-out hip hop that goes decidedly hard. (There's the ridiculous cover art above.) JuBee assures us there's more coming, but for now, this two-and-a-half-minute jam will have to do.

This Week in David Lowery Beefs: YouTube, Rap Genius
UGA Music Business Program lecturer and Cracker/Camper Van Beethoven frontman David Lowery isunhappy about a lot of things these days. Recently, he has devoted plenty of blog space to professing his unhappiness with the YouTube Music Awards (you can find all his #YTMA coverage here, including posts where he digs up grainy jihad recruitment clips and spammy "buy-steroids" videos in an attempt to prove the point… that YouTube is evil? Or a serial copyright infringer? Or maybe just bad for kids? It's sort of unclear).
Elsewhere, Lowery has spearheaded a study that attempts to out the 50 most "undesirable" lyric websites (ick, that phrasing)—unlicensed (or dubiously licensed) sites that publish song lyrics—with the No. 1 culprit emerging as the community-oriented, hip hop-centric annotation site Rap Genius. The National Music Publishers Association has taken the case.

New Drive-By Truckers Album Set For February Release
It's pretty diverse. But we recorded it as if it was an uptempo record even though some of it may not be; we just went in and did it and it worked out naturally. It definitely moves, and I think it captures where the band's at right now, which is in a really exceptionally good place.
—Patterson Hood of the Drive-By Truckers on the group's new record, due out in February 2014. The comments come today in an interview with Billboard, which misspells David Barbe's name and calls DBT bassist Matt Patton "Mike."
