Newsy Bits Party & Bullsh*t: This Week In Nashville Hip-Hop [Dre Day, Kid Dead, Nam White, Classic Williams]
Posted by Sean Maloney on Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 12:53 PM
You ready to get rich? You ready to make money? You ready to buy a house?! To buy a car?!? Then you are probably in the wrong place! But we appreciate you stopping by this installment of Party & Bullsh*t. No, we do, swear to god. The most pressing and/or awesome thing we have to deal with is Dre Day. Yes, we all celebrate this most important holiday in our own ways — I like to celebrate it by bustin' up some 'roids and overcharging people for headphones — but The Groove in East Nashville wants you to come celebrate it with them. On Feb. 18 — next Saturday for those keeping score at home — the East Side's favorite platter-pushers are hosting The G.E.D. Soul All-Stars — you know, the cats behind The Coolin' System and De Robert & The Half Truths — as they crank out instrumental versions of D-R-E classics from The Chronic, Doggy Style and Detox. Just kidding! Detox is never coming out and nobody will ever cover it. I assume gin and juice will be served, and the party won't stop until six in the morning, but if you want the actual deets you can check out the event page here.
Now it's time to set sail on the Party & Bullsh*t party barge! On to the next one, as they say...
Creamtastic Lake Fever Presents The Chris Crofton Show Episode 84
Posted by Steve Haruch on Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 9:16 AM
Hey look, it's Episode 84 of The Chris Crofton Show — this time around, there's plenty of barn wood (the only way to get laid these days), an emergency involving the making of cheese and more Thierry Mugler combat boots than you can shake a Bonnaroo undercard at. Listen via iTunes or just park yourself right here and stream away:
Cream Calendar Weekend Round-Up: Cruisin' Style
Posted by D Patrick Rodgers on Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 7:45 AM
But I'm not trying to rub anything in. After all, you guys have a pretty impressive selection of shows to pick from yourselves. Tonight, for instance, you're looking at Drive-By Truckers with Nikki Lane at Cannery, Yonder Mountain String Band at Marathon, Courtney Jaye and some others at The Basement and more. Tomorrow night you've got Cherub's album release at Mercy Lounge, DBT again at Cannery and plenty more. Have a look at the rest — compiled by "Captain" Adam Gold — after the jump. Let us know what we missed, and have yourselves a safe one.

Cream Calendar Daniel Johnston! Live! Free! At Lipscomb! Tomorrow! For Real!
Posted by Laura Hutson on Thu, Feb 9, 2012 at 2:03 PM
- Peter Juhl
But cheer up, guys! Lipscomb's fixed everything right up.
At 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 10 — tomorrow night — Johnston will perform a set at Lipscomb's Collins Auditorium, backed by a few Lipscomb students (Zac Swann, Michael Do and Mack Hoskins) who are going to have cooler stories than everyone else they graduate with. The good news: Tickets are free, and the auditorium's capacity is 900, so the show's not in danger of being sold out. The bad news? No drinking, drugs or premarital sex. It's Lipscomb, folks. That's a hell of a toss-up, but I'm willing to make the sacrifice.
Lipscomb's Collins Auditorium is at 3901 Granny White Pike, Nashville, TN 37204. Spread the word.
Moving Pictures Creation as Remix: RE:GENERATION Doc Screening Feb. 16 at Carmike Bellevue 8
Posted by Cayla Mackey on Thu, Feb 9, 2012 at 10:00 AM
We tend to think of creation as something that only God can do — whatever your version of God may be. (For Mayor Karl Dean, for example, there is the God behind the “bible” of Rolling Stone Magazine, which he cited at the opening of Marathon Music Works.) Another version of Genesis is captured in RE:GENERATION, a documentary about DJs who collaborate with musicians from different genres to produce new music.
Whatevs 2 Girls 1 Red Solo Cup
Posted by Steve Haruch on Thu, Feb 9, 2012 at 9:26 AM
I suppose this was inevitable. What happens when you put No. 2 and No. 2 together: Joe Denim's "shitty" parody of Toby Keith's "Red Solo Cup." It's pretty impressive, actually, though the money shot kinda misses the mark.
Cream Calendar / Music Ri¢hie's Welcome to My Dreams Tape Release Feat. Little Bandit and Denney and the Jets Tonight at The End
Posted by D Patrick Rodgers on Thu, Feb 9, 2012 at 8:30 AM
Well, tonight at The End, Ri¢hie will release Welcome to My Dreams physically — on audio cassette — and Little Bandit and Denney and the Jets will appear in support. Here are some details, straight from the horse's mouth:
Thursday is RI¢HIE's "welcome to my dreams" nashville cassette release. This will be the first opportunity for anyone from nashville to purchase said tapes. They will be available at grimeys and the groove the next day also.
Hey, that's good news! Of course, you can already hear all of Welcome to My Dreams below or via Ri¢hie's Bandcamp page, but who doesn't like cruising around listening to a cassette? You know how a cassette gets all white-hot during the summer when you leave it in the back seat? And then your buddy burns his thighs when he sits on it by accident? Hell yeah. Oh hey, when you get to track four ("Gravitron"), turn that shit up.

Hot Goss / Bonnaroo Maynard James Keenan Says He Won’t Be at Bonnaroo, But Alice Cooper and Danzig Will
Posted by Adam Gold on Wed, Feb 8, 2012 at 7:04 PM
So I just did a phoner with Tool/A Perfect Circle/Puscifer dude Maynard James Keenan. Check out what he had to say when asked if any of his three bands will appear at Bonnaroo this year:
Nashville Cream: Are any of the three bands you play in gonna play Bonnaroo this year?Maynard James Keenan: I think Puscifer was offered a slot, but we really didn’t have any interest in playing in the same tent with Danzig and Alice Cooper. SORRY.
NC: [Laughs] Why not?
