New Music Releases for 11/29/11???
•
Man, we are in the doldrums of holiday shopping, and the pickings for new music releases are SPARSE! There are again lots of reissues, remasters, and vinyls out today, but I’ve scoured lists and I can’t find anything that I am excited about this week. Seriously? Am I getting lazy? WTF? There has to…

Young Buffalo, The Basement, Tonight in Nashville
•
It seems like the holidays put the slow down on all of us. Gluttonous amounts of food and drink, general laziness, too much time with family… it’s all fun, but it is getting in the way of seeing great music these days. You can see it on the concert calendars around town, and you…

Record Store Day, Black Friday Edition
•
It’s black Friday. Lots of ridiculous people have been standing in lines at Walmart for hours now. I even heard on the news about one lady who resorted to using pepper spray to get a video game! WTF?!?! You don’t want to do this, and I don’t either. I want to check out Record…

Get to Know: Luke Roberts
•
After a crazy pleasant autumn around here, it has now been raining here for the past three days straight. That can quickly change your mood. It makes it hard to want to leave the house. It makes me want to hole up. Hole up and find a good quiet record to listen to. We…

The Coathangers, The End, Tonight In Nashville
•
Lots of you have tomorrow off which means that tonight is like a Friday, and, let’s face it, you aren’t going to get much done even if you do have to work tomorrow. Maybe we should look at it more like a Thursday before a long weekend stuck inside listening to the same stories…

Megafaun, 3rd and Lindsley, Sunday night in Nashville
•
I don’t know if you noticed or not, but I try to take Sundays off. I need a day to clear my brain, get the fresh slate, and be ready to spend another week listening, writing, emailing, marketing, banging my head against a wall because I don’t know enough about webshit, and just general…

Get to Know: The Loose Hinges
•
Nashville’s The Loose Hinges define an attitude. It’s as much an analogy for their “off the cuff” ideas, as it is for their incredibly diverse and playful music. This duo that can (I guess) best be described as pop has wild forays into electronica, soul, country, and folk. The one thing that is really…

Nashville Represents in Initial South By Southwest Band Listings!
•
The all-things-up-and-coming music orgy that is South By Southwest in Austin, TX published their first two listings of performers recently (and I just ran into them today). You can take a look at the first and second listing for yourself, but I wanted to give a special shout out to so-far selected Nashville acts…
