The Scissormen return to Martin’s Friday night, Sept. 12, for their CD release party. The raunchy, punk-fueled garage blues of the Scissormen goes well with their hard songs about the devil laughing, whiskey and Mary Jane. The liquor runs long at a Scissormen show. Visit Martin's for more info.

Tickets are going fast at Be-Bop for Corinth alternative rockers Saving Abel, with Endeverafter and Meriwether, at Hal & Mal’s, Friday, Sept. 12. You may know Saving Abel’s song “Addicted,” which hit No. 2 on the rock charts this spring. You can save a few bucks getting the tickets in advance at Be-Bop.

In other regional news; Rapids on the Reservoir closed last year, leaving the annual September Festival Latino without a home. They have found a new home at the Grand Paradise Water Park in Collins. Get your Latin on with Latinismo, the New-Orleans-based Vivaz and others, from 1-6 p.m. Sunday, Sept 14. Call 601-299-0993 or 601-371-9009 for details. Cheers, and may the funk be with you.

[Editor's Note] Love Thy Neighbor
Izzy: I wouldn't be too sure your church doesn't preach hate if your liturgy is not gender-inclusive. Think about it - is God really a "He" or a "Father"? Those are some images or visions of ...
