PS: Also, clogging. http://www.musenashville.org/2007/08/23/youtube-gem-of-the-day/ A little something to cry about.. Sharon Jones (the undisputed current queen of soul, at least around here) and the Dap-Kings are going out on tour, but are coming nowhere near our fair city.. TEARDROPS. I missed her last time she was here, too. Anyway, BrooklynVegan has a bit of info on Daptone records, as well ... http://www.musenashville.org/2007/08/23/a-little-something-to-cry-about/ The Everybodyfields at Grimey’s If you're hanging around this evening, looking for a great band to see, head on over to Grimey's and catch the everybodyfields, doing an in-store performance at 6 PM. Their new album, Nothing is Okay, is in stores today, and from what I can tell of the tracks I've heard ... http://www.musenashville.org/2007/08/21/the-everybodyfields-at-grimeys/ The big EP. I didn't get up this morning with a plan to post about the big white leisure suit in the sky, and, to be honest, I enjoy his music but am no Elvis expert. The more I've poked around, though, reading blogs this morning, the more I realized that I wanted ... http://www.musenashville.org/2007/08/16/the-big-ep/ Also - the blog of the day.. Is definitely Locust Street. See aforementioned blog for great mp3s, a few musical history lessons, and a compendium of pretty much every interesting Serge Gainsbourg clip ever posted on youtube, including this one, where he says on screen that he'd like to screw Whitney Houston. To Whitney Houston. Using more ... http://www.musenashville.org/2007/08/15/also-the-blog-of-the-day/ Rufus at the Ryman I can't say anything that would do justice to the event last night that was Rufus Wainwright, Live at the Ryman, but it was probably one of the more incredibly entertaining things I've seen in my whole entire life. Oh, Rufus! I guess I went into it expecting a fairly ... http://www.musenashville.org/2007/08/15/rufus-at-the-ryman/ Three things 1. Most importantly: eeeeeeee! Huge buttsmacks (I'd like to institute the use of the word "buttsmacks" instead of "thanks") to Alison for the ticket. 2. I have been battling the wilds of Craigslist for three weeks in search of a bread maker. This has almost become an obsession. I thought I ... http://www.musenashville.org/2007/08/14/three-things/ Be nice to trees! http://www.musenashville.org/2007/04/26/be-nice-to-trees/ Improv Nashville tonight Hi! Hello, woefully underused blog! Tonight, at the 12 South Arts Venue, Improv Nashville is performing a comedy improv show as a part of Laughing Stock 2007, a benefit for Saint Jude Children's Research Hospital. St. Jude is a hospital that does very great things, and is dear to me ... http://www.musenashville.org/2007/04/13/improv-nashville-tonight/ 24 Update: What the hell happened? So I haven't given a 24 update in a couple of weeks, and that's mainly because I'm pretty disappointed with the direction the show is taking. I feel like the wheels came off somewhere around the 12th hour, and I'm not sure they're going to be able to recover ... http://www.musenashville.org/2007/04/03/24-update-what-the-hell-happened/
