Happy Friday, Nashville! How is your holiday shopping going? Have you bought my present yet? I really appreciate you thinking of me. I know, I know… I think you are great too! Seriously, where’s my present? Here is a little present for you. I’m giving you three choices of shows to see tonight in…

Alright, I’m getting all backwards on ya, yo. I promise I won’t ever talk like that again, if you promise me to get out and see some music this weekend. I already told you about Lucero at Mercy Lounge, but if that’s not your gig… i might just have something else for you. I…

Do you like hip-hop that is skewered with funny samples, heavy beats, and crack-you-up lyrics? Then I definitely have something for you tonight in Nashville. Das Racist blew onto the scene a couple of years ago with their epic “mixtape” called Shut Up, Dude. They followed that up with Sit Down, Man. Lauded by…

It’s Monday. I’m dragging. It was a long, fun weekend, and now I have to try to be creative and witty…. so hard to do….. alright, enough whining. I think I just found something to pep me up today. Margot and the Nuclear So & So’s are playing tonight at Exit/In. This funny named…

tUnE-yArDs is playing at Exit/In on Friday night, and I am going to let you know why I think you should go see it. That is also the last time that I am going to spell the name of Tune-Yards with it’s (technically corrrect) “RaNsOm NoTe” caps. Why? Because it is like me trying…
