REVENGE OF THE CLAM
One of the records to come out this year that’s spent the most time on our turntables is Shannon & The Clams’ Sleep Talk. It came out this Spring from 1-2-3-4-Go! and you can still pick it up right here. Shannon and co. have kept themselves plenty busy with other things this year [touring with…
THE RAW EDGE
Last month Thee Oh Sees and Total Control made their way around the country [they somehow managed to pass over Nashville again… what is the deal with that?] We caught them at FunFunFunFest and were totally blown away by the Australians. This tour was their first trip to the states [as a commenter points out,…

CROWN FOR CRONIN
A few months after Mikal Cronin’s debut record was released from Trouble In Mind, we got word that the wonderboy would be releasing a brand new single via Goner Records. And today we’re getting our first listen of the new 45. You can check out the b-side “You Gotta Have Someone” right here at the…

Episode 1: Breakin’ Up and Makin’ Up
 One of our favorite babes, Lauren Taylor, has been blasting the jams from Chicago’s FreeRadio SAIC and we’re stoked to say that her show will now also be hosted here on the ND. She knows how to crank out the tunes. Like this first episode, Breakin’ Up and Makin’ Up, ranges from stuff like The Liminanas to Irma Thomas to The Coupons and on and on and on. It’s really great. Her show airs live on Monday nights at 9PM right here, but we’ll be posting them for your listening pleasure a day or two later. Hope you dig.

CULTURE SHOCKED
Looks like the guys over at 1977 Records just recently put out a record from arguably the best punk band to ever happen to Australia — The Victims. There have been a handful of 7″ bootlegs over the last few years, but this LP has a lot to offer that we’ve not been able to…

CENTER OF A KING
You might remember way forever ago — like 6 months ago — when we first mentioned King Lollipop. And you might recognize him as the sweet dude from Shannon & The Clams who can play guitar like nobody’s business. Last time they rolled through town, Cody [King Lollipop], dropped us the cassette and we’ve about…
TO THE MOON
Moon Duo’s Mazes LP that came out earlier this year via Sacred Bones has spent a good bit of time on our tables this year and we’re stoked to see they’ll be rolling through Nashy a little later this month. The Wooden Shjips side-project is mostly the brain child of Ripley Johnson. You can check…

LET THE LOVE CHUG
As we get ready to jump head first into the 2k12, we’re getting more and more excited about what the year has to offer. So far we’ve got our ears ready for killer new Nashville records from Cheap Time, Heavy Cream, Tristen, Natural Child, Denney & The Jets, Turbo Fruits, Cy Barkley & The Way…
