THE RUNDOWN – 11.10.2014 – 11.16.2014
Weather’s about to strike us down. COLD colds, last of the leaves gone. Don’t let it get you down. Like weeds in the sidewalk crack, good shows are resilient. They never go away completely. Angel Olsen is at Mercy Lounge on Wednesday, Paul Metzger is at the Emma Bistro on Thursday, and Thee Oh Sees…
PRAY FOR THE RAIN
Jessica Pratt’s 2012 debut caught us all by surprise. An unknown artist on an unknown label, she still managed to release one of the best albums of that year and earn the attention and respect of critics and fans alike. Last week she released the first single from her sophomore LP, On Your Own Love…
THE RUNDOWN – 11.3.2014 – 11.9.2014

COME BACK TO ME PLEASE
A truly great record is one of the best gifts you could give this world. It’s honesty and hopefulness unconstrained. No one can touch it. We live in a time where freak viruses cause transatlantic terror and grey-haired poobahs spend their days trying to tell us what’s right and wrong. It’s enough to make you…
The Chosen Ones
Sup Halloweeeeeeners. So, as you know, there were a buncha free shows/parties going on Halloween with some of Nashville’s finest struttin their stuff, which is important and awesome and how things should be all the time. Equally important/awesome/how things should be is the good fortune of a sick touring band, which we had the chance to catch…

It’s Spook Week. Time to dust off your Goblin records, put the final touches on that Jimmy Pesto Jr. outfit, and of course, go to some shows. Tonight you could see Ri¢hie, Fox Fun, or Harvest Team depending on where you land, tomorrow is Screaming Females and PUJOL at the Stone Fox, Halloween brings us killer…
FUCK YOU, YOU’RE A TURD
The South might have given us country, blues, jazz, rock and roll, hip hop, and just about every other brand of American music, but we should never forget that it’s the Midwest who gave us PUNK. Somewhere in that flattened abyss of corn, windmills, and rust there must be a Fountain of Frustration, a crossroads…

DOO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN
A lot has happened since we last checked in with JEFF. They’ve got a new LP in the can, a new EP already out, they’ve toured across the country and back with local buds D. Watusi, Music Band, and Diarrhea Planet, and now they’re bringing it on home with a three-night stint at the End…
