Nashville's Dead

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…

:: Go see Invasion of the Body Snatchers at The Belcourt and get ready for NBN

We almost totally forgot to put up the playlist from this week’s show. Luckily for you, one of us has a head on their shoulders and is capable of doing something right around here. Forever Young wasn’t around for the show this week, he was in Memphis with JTB having way more fun. Anyways, here you goooo….

Willy T once again gave us a show to remember, but we almost missed it. Forever Young’s secret crush was having a birthday party over on music row; the thing was supposed to be a surprise, but somebody spilled the beans. We were too late for Marj! which was totally lame, but luckily we got the tape to tide us over [and a potential belated review sometime in the future] JEFF was amazing as always: Jamin kept the pace, Jake was on top of the amp, and Wes from Natural Child broke the guitar for a second and a full bottle of King Cobra forever. It took a minute for the crowd to get in the mood, but after old-school favorite “Doo It” people finally started moving. Chain and the Gang was something else. Little Hammy turned into a punk rock r/b revival with mister Chain as the reverend, preaching about sex, money, and who really shot JFK.

This post isn’t very well written, but bear with us. We’re a little stoned from second hand smoke and super tired from the night before. Hope everybody had an awesome Shabbat, you know we did.

Seeing as it’s Goner weekend in Memphis and we’re not there anymore, we’ve decided to watch our favorite Memphis film, Mystery Train. It’s a Jim Jarmusch film dealing with three different stories all centered around Elvis somehow. The flick features cameos from Steve Buscemi and fave babe Jay Hawkins. The movie’s a little hard to find, but it’s definitely worth the effort. Just check out the trailer.
