From a group called Athens Soundies comes a charming website filled with video of impromptu music performances around Athens, aka “The Greatest City on Earth.” The videos, which are beautifully shot and only a couple of minutes long, feature local and not-so-local bands playing acoustically on railroad tracks, gas stations, alleys, former cult temples (what?), rooftops, front porches, etc. It’s great to see the random parts of Athens, although I don’t think that you have to be familiar with Athens to appreciate the videos. Make sure to check out Dr. Dog, Wakey! Wakey! and The Empties.
