Funstix – Goose from NASHVILLE’S DEAD on Vimeo.

Last night we finally made it out to a Funstix show. These things are pretty hard to come by. I mean, they’ve played like less than a handful of shows. Maybe a palmful. Whatever. Funstix is kind of a Murfreesboro supergroup featuring Jessi and Lin from Those Darlins, Spencer from Cuttlefish, and bad boy Dillon from Kindergarten Circus. It’s awesome. We were trying to explain what they sounded like to someone last night and we think this kind of sums it up — “They’re a band who can cover The Rolling Stones and it doesn’t sound weird.”  That’s a very good thing. We love our Stones. Anyways, here are a couple videos we shot for you babies to check out. There will be more uploaded to the “Funstix” album on our vimeo page next week.

Funstix – Untied from NASHVILLE’S DEAD on Vimeo.

As a special little treat, check out the mamis doing a kickass cover of  “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” and one of them doing King Khan & BBQ Show’s “Waddlin’ Around”. Can’t wait for the next one.

Time to get shreddy. Have at it, Puj.

Shreditorial 10
Tao Jones’ Endless Weekend

Man, you know what really shreds my sheets? All the Boogiemen I have sex with? Naw, dawg: the key to your endless weekend: the manipulation of space-time. I picked up some sweet tips from a sexclusive interview with millionaire bachelor Tao Jones, this guy’s like Lao Tzu on XBOX live forever.
He was picking off some headshots, raging across Call of Duality IV, killing heathens and dropping some heady metal thunders at me. He was saying, “ I wrote the principal DOWist text but all it is is watching Endless Summer and Back to the Future at the same time, times forever, on repeat.”

“Do you want to party like my XBOX?”
“Yes, I like to party too good.”
“If you had the wishes, would you make this weekend last forever, as long as you wanted?”
“Yes, I would do that for you, Dr. Jones.”
“Okay, I like your attitudes. Well, alls you gots to do is switch your feeler and your thinker.”
“How you do that, Dr. Jones?”

Then it got like Baloo singing “Bear Necessities,” except about manipulating space-time to party forever. Essentially, Dr. Jones argues that your rational mind and your emotional awareness warrant a degree of discrimination between one another, as opposed to a cavemanesque dichotomy. He said that time moves much faster when you use your thinker-projector-number-cruncher. He even said that projecting meaning and confusing it with rationalizing speeds up time because it blasts you through a gauntlet of answers? Whatever that means!
He said it usually hurts to bust through the wall, and you can use your emotional awareness for so much more than pain, or pleasure soaked in the absinthe of pain. He said, he sits still, and feels what he’s feeling with his awareness anywhere he wants, no matter who’s watching, even Gawd’s Toilet Angels. THEN he uses his number-cruncher. He says time moves at the same speed anyway probably, but it feels like you have more time this way: “I like to ramble more than scramble.”

Plus, you figure out how you feel before you think, instead of projector-thinking and having to deal with it via what you feel, like it’s a dice game in Tin Man Alley. Apparently, we aren’t tin men, robots, or even cyborgs, and we have hearts to tend too, even though we’re told we’d rather be the Scarecrow from Oz or Batman.

He kept saying, “It’s not what it means, it’s why it happened.” Whatever that means?

So, he says he slows his weekends down to forever just by putting his feeler before his thinker. Then he thinks what he felt, and acts on it instead of just Reactive Mind Math, so he’s always chasing Psychic Summer like in Endless Summer and Doc Browning it at the same time, and all he’s got to do is sit around and be quiet before 5pm on Friday. I tried it out, and it works, I don’t know what day you are on, but its Last Saturday AD here! It’s like really getting to decide where you are all the time.
See you guys next week whenever that is. Shortround is blasting his Endless Mix of “Spill the Wine” 100 times and DVD menu jams for passing out, AND we peeled Mowgli off a vinyl couch with our minds. Now we’re fucking with the space in between each other cuz we can do whatever we want with it.

Tao of Boo,
Pujol

THE FREAKIN WEEKEND: DAY 3 [IN PICS]

Posted by Forever Young 03.25.10

After Days 1 and 2 of the FREAKIN’ WEEKEND, we were pretty amazed that anyone still had it in them to get down for a-whole-nother night filled with a million bands. Seriously though there were 9 bands that played. It started at 8:30 and ended before 1:30. That’s pretty amazing to think about though, right? Anyways, our bebe-beb Bekah Cope was there for a good part of the night but ran out of film towards the later half, so here are some pictures of So Jazzy, Videohippos, Lesser Gonzalez Alvarez, Terrible Twos [Pt. 2], and Puffy Areolas. Sorry Coasting, Sisters, Grooms, and Daniel — we’ll get you next time.

KEEP IT VIRAL

Posted by Forever Young 03.24.10

Ha! They even drew the little dream creamers on Jamin’s shirt! We told you guys foreeeever ago that it was just a matter of time before JtB got the Daytrotter treatment, and it’s finally here. They do a sweet little set of jams for the site [Mind Ride – Heavy Days – I Don’t Need Your Tas-t – U Got The Look] and it’s awesome. Go and listen to it here! Speaking of JEFF, we’d just like to go ahead and announce that they won the competition that is SXSW. Ask anyone. They’ll tell you just the same.

If you haven’t already – scoop it. And if they haven’t hit your town yet – they probably are.

TRIPLE BIG TIME HEADER TONIGHT

Posted by Forever Young 03.24.10

OH MY GOD THE SHOWS JUST DON’T STOP THIS WEEK! Especially tonight. There’s a whole boat-load of goodies going on and there is really no excuse for any of you to not go out and get in it. Especially you, new contributor to ND, D. Watusi [We told him to hit the shows tonight and he said he had to go get 8 Chik-fil-A sandwiches and then play with “funstix”. I guess there’s grosser words for it, but still. Ew.] So here’s the breakdown for you mamis:

:: The Soft Pack
@ Grimey’s New & Pre-Loved Records
$FREE – All Ages – 6PM

This one should be a no-brainer for everyone. It’s awesome weather out, you gotta scoop some records anyways, and it’s free. Soft Pack are playing later on in the night, but we’ll talk about that later. I’d expect Grimey’s to have free booze for the of-age crowd.

:: Deluxin’
:::: Home Blitz
:::::: Ttotals
:::::::: The Looking Glass
@ Little Hamilton
$3-5 suggested donation – All Ages – 8PM

Home Blitz has never played Nashy-side before, but they’ve played all over the east coast and are on their way back from doing a slew of SXSW dates. Daniel and the boys have put out some of the best garage-pop-scattered-jams in the last while and if you don’t know, now you know. Plus, who can turn down a bill like that? For serious.

:: Neon Blud
:::: Female Tropics
:::::: MLU
@ The Green Womb
$5 – All Ages – 9PM

We posted about this one just the other day, and the more we talk about it the more stoked we get. It’s the last show happening at the Green Womb and it’s gonna be a rager. MLU opens up the night around 10PM so get there by then and witness the criminality. Just kidding boyeeez.

:: The Soft Pack
:::: Beaters
:::::: Nodzzz
@ Exit/In
$10 or 12 – 18+ – 9PM

We’ve talked about all these bands plenty of times here at the Deadquarters, so if you’ve been paying attention then you should know fully well what to expect. The only one we haven’t made mention of is Nodzzz. The last time we saw them was at a show on a Sunday afternoon in a very crowded bar playing with Woods, Blank Dogs, and Wavves. Needless to say, they blew the rest right out of the water. Expect nothing less from them tonight. And they’re the nicest dudes ever.

Home Blitz – Is Anybody There? [mp3]
The Soft Pack – Nightlife [mp3]
Beaters – Fishage [mp3]
Nodzzz – True to Life [mp3]

Pretty much, Nashville, you can’t lose tonight. Not to mention the Modern Hell show going on, those dudes are pretty killer. Go out and be a somebody!

GOODBYE, GREEN WOMB

Posted by Forever Young 03.22.10

This Wednesday, which is kind of the most packed show-night we’ve seen in a long time, brings the Green Womb’s last show. Bummer, we know. But it’s gonna rule pretty hard. Neon Blud from Tampa [with members of Cult Ritual and Slavescene] are coming through with Philly’s Female Tropics and MLU is rounding it out. We caught Neon Blud the other night over at the Broken Neck during SXSW and can vouch that this show is gonna be badass. Come and support the bands and wish the Green Womb goodbye. It’ll start around 10ish for everyone who plans on going to Little Hamilton [for Deluxin’, The Looking Glass, Ttotals, and Home Blitz] and this show. Do it!

Wednesday March 24
