Poliça, The Basement, Tonight in Nashville
•
It’s been very quiet in all places other than Austin, TX for the past week or so. Well, things are going to heat back up as those bands all tour their way back home, and one of the highlights for Nashville is Poliça (pronounced po-lisa) at The Basement tonight. It’s a bit of a…

Andrew Bird’s 3D Hatch Print for Monday’s Ryman show
•
We are pretty excited about seeing Andrew Bird on Monday night at The Ryman (though admittedly a little torn about possibly missing the Polica show at The Basement), and we were equally excited to see a sneak preview of the first ever 3D Hatch Print poster that they did for Mr. Bird’s return to…

Hot Chip’s new single “Flutes”
•
Who here likes Hot Chip? No, not those crappy nachos you ate last night at your local tex-mex joint. The other Hot Chip electro-pop duo that has been making some serious records over the past 10 or so years. I’m really not that big of a fan of this kind of music, but their…

Help Birdcloud “Save Themselves For Jesus”
•
In a clear “what the hell is the world coming to” moment, Nashville’s funny folksters, Birdcloud, lost the “priveledge” to post their video for “Saving Myself For Jesus” on YouTube. I mean, is this really the worst thing on YouTube… I’m not even going to peruse YouTube looking for something worse, but you all…

Missed Connection at Jeff The Brotherhood show
•
In the Craigslist “Missed Connections” section, there was an ad about a missed connection at last week’s show at Exit/In. It was posted, by a probably drunk guy (I doubt I’m going out too far on a limb there), at 1:53 am after the Jeff The Brotherhood installment of Freakin’ Weekend. You can click…

•
Paste just released a top 20 list of bands to see at SXSW this year, and Nashville’s Diarrhea Planet was given a nice nod with a top ten listing. We here know how much fun those DP shows are, and it sounds like a lot more folks are going to experience it for themselves.…

Bradford Cox goes…. Awesome!
•
Lots of people are freaking out about everything coming out of Bradford Cox’s (Deerhunter/Atlas Sound) mouth these days. His comment about Lana Del Rey (“It’s not like fucking Lana Del Rey carved an upside down cross on her cheek and defecated all over herself on stage at fucking Bonnaroo.”) were funny, unlike that anchor…
