Dreamers Of The Ghetto, Grimeys, Tonight in Nashville
•
Ok, maybe this one should be called “This Evening In Nashville”. I mean, really, if you go to a short set that starts at 6pm, you are going to go out for dinner and probably a couple of drinks before you even head out for the night. Regardless, you should swing by Grimey’s this…

Here’s the video that got Hank, Jr fired…
•
I’m not even about to get into politics on this thing, but I was as shocked as everyone when “Are You Ready For Some Football” didn’t come on before ESPN’s Monday Night Football last week. I read a few articles, watched a little SportsCenter, and found a clip of the incident in question. See…

Listen to Bright Eyes cover The White Stripes for charity
•
When I first heard this, I couldn’t imagine what White Stripe’s song Bright Eyes could possibly pull off a cover of. Then I read it, and it was the “Ah, of course” moment…. they’re covering the impossibly cute “We Are Gonna Be Friends.” This cover is for a charity album, called Cool For School:…

Get To Know: Papa
•
Did you see Girls perform last month at Mercy Lounge? If so, I hope you got there early enough to see the opener, Papa. These guys were awesome. It was a high energy kind of soul music packed with pop hooks that you could immediately tell was the musical darling of drummer Darren Weiss. …
