THE RUNDOWN – 12.23.2013 – 12.29.2013
I guess it shouldn’t come as a surprise that things are a little lacking in the show department this week, but it’s alright to take a break from that sometimes. Enjoy your Christmas parties with your friends and family who you don’t get to see as often as you’d like, everyone. Rock n roll will…

Consider this the gateway record, the one that cracks the others wide open, y’know? And savor the matrimony of slick production, Jeff Arcel’s sick artwork,…
LEAD ME DEAR MASTER
Everyone knows there’s more to Nashville than country music, but one of the most overlooked chapters in our town’s history is its contribution to black R&B, soul, and [most pertinent to this post] gospel.

Seems like all of our favorites are making appearances, so no excuses. It’s time to get outta the house. See ya on the scene, dear reader. Monday, December 9 :: Guerilla Toss ::::…
