The Echo Project is coming
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Echo Project is coming to metro Atlanta on Friday. And this blog, Atlanta Music Scene, will be the place for full coverage of this three-day music festival.
Echo is a first-time festival, so no one is sure what to expect. It’s being held on a 350-acre private farm south of Hartsfield-Jackson Airport. Although drive-ins and one-day attendance are allowed, the promoters are encouraging camping for the entire three days. Campsites will be available.
Who’s playing? The Killers, The Flaming Lips, Phil Lesh and Friends, Cat Power, Cypress Hill, Butch Walker, Spoon, Common, Disco Biscuits, moe, Son Volt, the Roots, local bands and more. Who’s coming? Maybe 15,000-20,000 people.
The cost: $155 advance; $200 at gate weekend pass. Price covers camping costs.
More info.: 800-594-TIXX, or at the Echo website.

New R.E.M. on CNN
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Some people debut their singles on the radio and shiny new music videos, and some people are R.E.M. .
Starting today, the Athens rock legend’s new single “Until the Day Is Done” can be heard at www.CNN.com/PlanetinPeril. It’s part of the promotion for the Anderson Cooper 360 special “Planet in Peril,” about environmental crises around the world.
The documentary airs Oct. 23 and 24 at 9 p.m., where the song will play over the cloisng credits, a Warner Brothers release says. But it can also be heard with the clips from “Planet”, airing tonight on AC360.
After you listen, tell us what you think: Is this as good a lure to R.E.M.’s album (expected next spring) as it is the eco-minded TV show? Raise hopes a bit? Or does it sound like a cast-off track repurposed for CNN?
