Hear a Song from Ruby the RabbitFoot's Normaltown Records Debut
Today Normaltown Records announced their latest signee: local outfit Ruby the RabbitFoot. The group, led by songwriter Ruby Kendrick, established itself with the No Weight No Chain LP, a solid collection of folky pop tunes that centered on Kendrick's airy sense of melody.
But if "Coffee & Honey," a video for which can be streamed after the jump, is any indication, the band's Normaltown debut—said to be called New as Dew and out spring 2014—will be a vast departure for the group.

Here's Some More Video of Athens in the '90s
Another day, another time capsule. The video above comes from reader Chip Shirley, who says:
I shot and edited this as a 'would be' monthly TV show for a local Athens channel that went out of business just as I had it finished. For years I thought the files were corrupted and useless. I just discovered that it was my equipment for playback that was malfunctioning. For all the great Athens artists who let me record them I have this brief offering and great thanks. Hope you enjoy!
The charming but rather awkwardly edited 25-minute clip features footage of Widespread Panic's infamous "Panic in the Streets" concert, as well as music videos from Jucifer and Leguano and live footage of the 8-Track Gorilla.
Cue nostalgia train in 3, 2, 1…

Tonight in Athens: Jacuzzi Boys, Grant-Lee Phillips, HFAGS
Jacuzzi Boys
There's a lot of great music happening Thursday evening—and George Clinton is just the start. At Flicker, Hope for Agoldensummer will play an increasingly rare hometown gig, the band's last of the season before member Page Campbell heads back to her current home of Madison, WI. Opening the show are Nashville's Loney John Hutchins and locals Sea of Dogs, whose sublime folk is worth the $5 ticket price alone.
Music and more after the jump.

Jandek's Athens Show is Now Available on CD
Hands down, one of the biggest local shows of 2012 was reclusive sound wizard Jandek's appearance out at the Orange Twin Conservation Community. Last July, the Man from Corwood (who's actually, uh, from Texas) was joined by regional luminaries like Bradford Cox and Heather McIntosh for a weird and unforgettable performance.
