[Those are some Carmen Sandiego lips if we've ever seen them.]

Hey babies. Don’t forget to tune in today [Thursday] to 91.1FM WRVU from 11-12PM and from 4-5PM. The earlier show [11-12] is actually The Curse of the Drinking Class, but Forever Young will be sitting in with them for the next few months. And that show rules anyways. And then be sure to tune in for A Bit Stranger later on. There might be a surprise guest on the show, you’ll just have to listen in to see who! Sleep tight…

Daniel Pujol is one busy dude. Between touring, writing, and grad school, we don’t see how he has time to eat or sleep. He recently just put out his new zine, Rich Dick’s Almanac, and it’s pretty groovy. If you’ve read METAMOTORSPEEWAY: The Bristol Sessions [which you can pick up here] then you’ll have an idea of the sorts of things that Daniel writes about. This new zine though, is supposed to be about “if Benjamin Franklin’s Wario centrally planned an economy.” One of the great things about Daniel’s latest zine is that it’s free! You can just send him an e-mail at danielsdreamdepo[at]gmail[dot]com and he’ll send you a PDF version. What a babe, right?

Daniel also brought to our attention that the Richmond Zine Fest is right around the corner! It takes place this year on November 6th and 7th at Richmond’s Gallery 5 [they also do some shows there] We’d describe to you what a zine fest is like, but it’s pretty self explanitory: trading zines, selling zines, reading zines, zine-ing zines. If you’ve got the chance, definitely go check it out.

Daniel’s got a few shows coming up soon [Oct. 5 w/ Dan Deacon, Oct. 10 Infinity Cat Night] and a bunch of out-of-town dates following that. Check it out here. He’s also got a revamped lineup, watch out!

Sorry, but, we just have to say something. JEFF the Brotherhood is not a garage-rock band. Please, if you hear/see someone referring to them as “garage-rock” give them the old one-two. Don’t get us wrong, we enjoy plenties of garage bands, we just don’t like to see the boys get pigeon-holed into a genre that they’ve never fit into. So yeah. We’re not exactly satisfied with Wiki’s definition of garage-rock [not at all really] but we are definitely on board with this guy’s idea of grunge…

Now that it’s Fall and not a sloppy mess outside, we’ve been paying a lot more attention to the folkier section of our music collections. Mostly Dylan and Harlan Howard, but also a good bit of this guy. Kurt’s been putting out records for a couple years now with labels like Mexican Summer, Woodsist, and Richie Records [they're kind of hard to come by on vinyl these days, but you might get lucky here] And just about everything he’s done so far [with The Violators or without] has been pretty golden. It’s something to definitely look into this week with the weather being how it is. There’s just something about psychadelic-folk-rock and cold breezes that really get our lady wet. Kurt’s got a new album, Childish Prodigy, coming out next week on Matador. You can stream the entire thing here.

Kurt’s on tour now and going all over the place [No Nashville, but we're down to go to ATL on Nov. 3 if you guys are] check out the dates here.

[We looked for a screenshot of Bruce in High Fidelity, but couldn't find it. Deal.]

Dude, Boss, what’s the deal? We thought Nashville was getting the special treatment because you had to bail on us last minute? Don’t get us wrong, we’re totally stoked that you’re coming back and playing Born To Run in it’s entirety, but now you’ve decided to give all your Giants Stadium stints the same pleasure and it’s a little unfair. They get two nights of Born To Run, two nights of Born In The USA, and one night of Darkness on The Edge of Town? Come on. Not fair. We should atleast be able to vote on which one we get, right? No? OK, fine [Just in case you're reading, we would probably vote for Nebraska] You ARE the Boss and we will take what you give us. See you in November.

Oh man, we thought we’d lost these guys for good last summer when they were playing their “final shows” and Max and John up and left for god knows what. Thank Moses that Deluxin’ is back in action once again with a new lineup [featuring Sean from Gnarwhal and Glenn from Cole's cloning lab, just kidding Glenn and Cole] They were supposed to play at Willy’s house show a little while back, but things were ended a bit too abruptly for everyone to get their sets in. The good news is that you can catch the boys this weekend at Little Hamilton with Lazy Magnet [The Rhode Island boys who brought you Is Music Even Good? Check out a video of them here.] Evil Spirits & Nothing Berry Plasma [two no-wave weirdo bands from Baltimore] along with locals CrAow and The Grappler. Yeah! As always, you can head over to SAFG for a better write-up on this.

Ya know, one of the best things about living in Nashville is Grimey’s. There are few cities in the nation that do as swell a job as these babies do. I mean, they give you the best free all-ages instores ever, will order you any record you need, are the nicest people ever, and they prescribe to the ideals of beer:30. Oh, and every once in a while they do these huge party sales that are the best days of the year. Like the one coming up this weekend on October 3rd. They’re calling it Rocktoberfst this year and it looks like it’s going to be a ball as usual. The festivities start when the gates open at 10AM, so get there early to pick up all the $1 LPs and everything else they’ve got to offer [Like some Yazoo and Jimmy Carl's BBQ] The music starts at Noon and goes until the end of the day. For serious though, ladies, who wouldn’t want to be a part of that up there??

Baby baby, we’re doing a little sprucing up around here today so we’re sorry if there’s a shortage in posts. Not to mention today is Yom Kippur, so we should probably not be interwebbing in the first place. But whatever. We added a little side link over there on the right of the screen. See it? It says “FEATURES” You can click that link and it will take you where all the reviews/interviews/important shit goes. Cool, right? I guess it’s not that cool, but whatever!

Our favorite brotherhood [sorry Jo-Bros] just announced that TONIGHT at MIDNIGHT they will start taking pre-orders for their new record Heavy Days. You ladies probably already know how much we love this album. Their last two shows in Nashville should be evidence enough that this album is going to be spinning for months [years for us] They’ve even got a few little extra treats planned for those who choose to pre-order. From the mouths of babes:

The pre-sale for our new record HEAVY DAYS will start at midnight on the Infinity Cat store. we are very excited, tell yr friends. Here are the details

The first 100 copies of the HEAVY DAYS lp are on beautiful opaque yellow vinyl and they are being PRE-SOLD on infinitycat.com ONLY! The LP comes with a free digital download of the entire album so you can put it on your ipod or computer too. And as an added bonus, each lp will come with 1 of 100 copies of the sold out cassette RAFIKI’S VISION on CD!!! Orders will ship 10/13 when the album is officially realeased. Get them while they’re hot!

So there you have it! Get your limited yellow copy of Heavy Days tonight at midnight right here! And when you go, check out all the gnarly new things they’ve done to their site. It will make you jealous that your site is not nearly as cool. Thanks JTB. ND <3 JTB

What a week last week, right?? We were treated to LOADS of good touring bands and you got to see all your fave local babies. This week isn’t too different. We’re especially stoked this week for two things: 1. It’s going to be October on Thursday [favorite month anyone?] and 2. ROKTOBERFEST at Grimey’s on Saturday! Peep the rest of the goodies below…
