The Aids Chronicles - Here to Represent. a film by Bailey Barash

The AIDS Chronicles – Here to Represent

A film by Bailey Barash
The documentary, The AIDS Chronicles - Here to Represent focuses on the social and cultural impact of HIV/AIDS on the African American community of Metro Atlanta. This glimpse of some of the material gathered over the last three years gives insight into the reasons why HIV/AIDS is still a major threat to the black population of Atlanta and nationwide. When it debuts in it's finished form later this summer, 'The AIDS Chronicles' will be an hour-long documentary that opens a window on the lives of Atlanta's vast African American population and reveals how the thoughts and actions of African Americans are affected by the presence of the disease in their community. Bailey Barash, award-winning journalist and film maker will preview segments of 'The AIDS Chronicles - Here to Represent' and will administer a brief audience survey after each showing. Please keep in mind these previews will be about 35-40 minutes long and will contain just some of the material that will be in the 60 minute version. The final one-hour documentary will be finished around August 1, 2007. It will be appropriate for audiences 13 and older. This work is funded through grants from the City of Atlanta, DeKalb County, Alternate ROOTS, and Johnson and Johnson/The Society for the Arts in Healthcare.

May’s Podcast started with some live recordings of The Subliminator, Team Gina, GFE (playing again May 8th with GKduo), Bent Frequency (May 20th), Atlanta Poets Group (dedicated radio show next month, June 3rd), Wilbert de Joode, Peter Brotzmann Trio and even Amy Ray. We played a field recording of the Eyedrum crew blowing minds in the annual Inman Park Parade on April 28th. We then continued with some recordings of Lid Emba, Spaceseed, The Strix Varia and Z-Axis -- all playing at the May 18th "Outer Space"-themed show. Todd Nickelson and Nashville Nuns (members of Stovall) were up next, appearing at the Peter Loose art event on May 12th, and finally we closed with some industrial noise / percussion by Z'ev (playing at Eyedrum on May 16th). Another show that was stylistically all over the musical map. Something for everyone! Studio guests included Allen Welty-Green, Bryan Dodd and John Gillett; hosted by Chris Campbell.

April’s Podcast is now available! We had quite the genre-defying show this month. We started with a couple pieces by Steve Reich, due to the upcoming April 8th event. Then we shifted gears into the folk punk of This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb, Anna Kramer and Why Are We Building Such A Big Ship, all playing at the Bike Spectacle fundraiser on April 21st. Then we went into a noise set, playing Black Meat and Tree Creature, both recorded live at Eyedrum. Peter Brotzmann was up next; he'll be appearing at Eyedrum on April 16th. Lid Emba screwed around with an Asa-Chang and Junray recording, Isia Cooper performed a song, Duet For Theremin and Lap Steel got their drone on, and we finished a quick bit of Guru Guru. Studio guests included Nisa Asokan, Robbie Kee, Mary Richardson, Nathan Brown, Travis Thatcher and Ben Coleman. Hosted by Chris Campbell, who apologizes for the poor segues -- it was a bit chaotic but a good show! Direct download link or Podcast feed

October’s Podcast
We devoted lots of time to a revisiting of the Atlanta underground/ indie scene of the early/mid 1980s, with previously unreleased recordings by 86, Pillowtexans, Vietnam and Amalgamated Cliff Divers; there's a show at Eyedrum on Oct. 7th that has lots of people from these bands performing for the first time in many years. After the retro fix, we played a few songs by Tunnels, Acid Mothers Temple and Hubcap City, all recorded live at Eyedrum in the past month. We closed with Tuna Helpers (performing Oct. 11th) and a short piece by avant garde luminary Jack Smith. If you don’t know what all the podcast fuss is about, a podcast is simply an audio file that you can listen to on your computer or portable mp3 player.
