The folks at Grimey’s and The Basement aren’t wallowing in any Record Store Day hangovers. They’ve gotten right back to it by booking Quilt to play in-store at Grimey’s at 6pm tonight. This is followed up with Kate Tucker’s alt-country and Nashvile’s Mark Watrous playing some of his own stuff tonight at The Basement…

We had every intention of busting out a world class post summarizing all the releases that you should snack up at this year’s Record Store Day. Alas, here it is Friday morning, and there are hundreds of releases in front of me. So, that isn’t going to happen, but seriously look at that link…

It’s that time again. Time for frat boys to put on their khaki shorts, loafers, striped shirts, and backwards ballcaps, and head down to the Vanderbilt Alumni Lawn for Rites of Spring. It’s like a mating call for college kids. The rest of us can get out to watch this annual mating ritual while…

Congrats to Fly Golden Eagle who rose above during the final Road To Bonnaroo competition last night. According to the vote counters, it was a very close call last between all eight bands, but Fly Golden Eagle was able to squeak it out. After supporting Alabama Shakes on a recent mini-tour, they are now…

One week before the release of Jack White’s first solo record Blunderbuss, the now-Nashvillian is streaming the record in it’s entirety over at iTunes (and, if that doesn’t work just click on your iTunes store and you will see it). So, go ahead and wear out iTunes before you wear out that record next…

Have you heard about Umbrella Tree? They tossed me a copy of their new record (actually mp3), and it has been rolling around the record player (actually iPod) for a few weeks now. As a music blogger, I typically listen to about 30 seconds of a record, and move on if it doesn’t grab…

I’m not sure if you noticed last weekend, but Coachella is streaming pretty much their entire festival through YouTube. You can sort through the full lineup over here, and you can watch the entire 2 hour Radiohead set below.
