Today, tomorrow and Saturday, Midtown Atlanta is transformed in to hip-hop Mecca.
Three days, four stages, mad music. Don’t miss it! An all-access pass is only $40!
Then Check in at The Masquerade (AKA the Mothership Connection)
695 North Ave Northeast, Atlanta.
And for a taste, here’s a track from Action Bronson (keep it on the phones at work. Def. NSFW).
Nothing beats a good burger, but what’s the one burger that beats the rest? We’ll know after Saturday’s Battle of the Burgers.
This beefy day-long event will pit a host of favorite Atlanta area burger joints, bars and eateries in a sizzling, well-seasoned showdown.
Things get cooking early, with a 5K run (which we recommend if you really want to work up an appetite).
As you can see, these burgers mean business:

Admission is as low as $25 and includes plenty of tasting coupons.
If you’re a bit broken up that favorite sons R.E.M. have packed it in, we have to recommend getting a big music fix at this year’s Music Midtown 2011.
The lineup speaks for itself: Coldplay, The Black Keys, Cage the Elephant, Young the Giant, Joy Formidable, Band of Skulls, The Constellations, Manchester Orchestra, The Postelles.
Get down to the Meadow at Piedmont Park this Saturday and soak up all the sounds!
And if you need an R.E.M. fix, here’s an old live clip featuring a triumphant return to Athens.

Got your three-day weekend agenda hammered out?
Sure, you’re probably all set for Saturday’s showdown between the Bulldogs and Boise State, but what about Monday?
Allow us to recommend the Red Bull Soundclash between Ludacris and Neon Trees taking place at the Georgia World Congress Center. Just ten bucks, and it should be a good battle. In the words of Red Bull’s promo pros:
This show is all about shocking, exciting, and entertaining the crowd- because they are the ones who decide which group/artist takes the title of Red Bull Soundclash champion and names the artists worthy of bragging rights across the music scene.
It’s on!
And if you’re looking to save on an apartment in Atlanta, there’s no need to fight. Just check out the deals at DDA!
The sounds get started at the much-anticipated One Music Fest at 1 p.m. (of course) this Saturday at Park Tavern. Doors open at noon, and the lineup is the real deal.
Here’s a taste, courtesy of one of our favorites, The Pharcyde:

And if you’re looking for Atlanta’s “one” source for unbeatable savings on great apartments, look no further than DDA.
Tomorrow it’s time to get down and fill up in true Southern style. Fans of good food and better barbecue won’t want to miss the 11th Annual Dekalb Medical Decatur Barbeque, Blues, & Bluegrass Festival, at Harmony Park in Decatur.
Gates open at 4:00pm and there will be live music until 10:00pm.
Chow down on boss BBQ by Community Q, Fox Brothers and Black Tie BBQ, and wash it down with cold beer including Fat Tire Amber Ale, Mothership Organic Wit, Ranger IPA, and New Belgium Seasonal.
Of course, if you want to get a new apartment for a price that won’t have you singing the blues, DDA Atlanta will be music to your ears.
Fans of 70s smooth-music kitch will want to sail away to Buckhead this Saturday for “The Greatest Yacht Rock Revival in the Universe.”
As explained yesterday by AJC writer Melissa Ruggieri:
The opportunity to luxuriate in the synthesized sounds of some of the most, uh, cherished soft rock staples of the ’70s and ’80s will take place Saturday, when “The Greatest Yacht Rock Revival in the Universe” takes over Andrews Entertainment Complex, outdoors in Buckhead.
Need a Yacht Rock Primer? Check out the video history below (a bit NSFW).
This Sunday, head to Shout at 1197 Peachtree Road for the two-year-anniversary celebration of The Sunset Lounge — the mid-day nightlife party in Midtown. Get there before 2 p.m., and admission is free!
