Re: “Hey, Does Anyone Know if Nashville Is 'The Silicon Valley of the Music Business'?”
I know Maloney but if some rich star out there like Jonny Depp gets wind of the apartment building being available maybe they'll look into buying it and making it an addition to the Third Man Records complex. A short while back I saw an online article that Johnny Depp may have been the rich star/person looking into buying a $17,000,000+ mansion for sale in Franklin. Why waste so much money to be isolated out in the country in Franklin when you can buy an old apartment building, tear it down and build your own "Fantasy Palace" next to the best happenings place in downtown Nashville, especially if your true fantasy was to be a rock star and not a movie star. Someone recently told me Johnny Depp is from Kentucky and he originally went out to Hollywood/LA to try to find fame/success in the music business/industry. Now wouldn't it be extremely cool to have Jack White and Johnny Depp become music business partners in the ever expanding Music City, USA. Oh, and there's always plenty of open land available to buy in TN. When we bought our modest house to make a home in TN, we were able to purchase the mostly wooded lot adjacent to our property for a really reasonable price and save it from being excavated and having a house being built on it. Over the years the lot has more than doubled in value and it is like having our own nature preserve in the backyard with lots of wild animals enjoying the preserved space. It's nice to see the wild animals (to include coyotes, deer, foxes, groundhogs, rabbits, squirrels, turtles) and a large variety of birds (to include woodpeckers and buzzards) hanging out in our backyard in TN. Now that is no joke.

That was awesome kids. Now I'm ready for ya's to do another show in Third Man Records' Blue Room and record a full length vinyl LP. Love the addition of band members and the obvious maturity of band members with a little aging. You are making your Nashville fans proud. I can even forgive the references to illegal drugs with the quality sound that you are putting out there for us rockers to enjoy = much appreciated! Keep up the great work and ease up on the illegal stuff outside of the songs so you'll be around for a long, long, long time to come.

It's called a joke, knucklehead.

Re: “Hey, Does Anyone Know if Nashville Is 'The Silicon Valley of the Music Business'?”
Hey Maloney, That would be the actual apartment building right next door to Third Man Records. If you go to www.zillow.com and put in the address 625 7th Ave. South Nashville, TN you can see that the owner of the apartment building has it listed as "Make Me Move". A few years ago when TMR was fairly new (and I was searching for a place in downtown Nashville) the owner was asking around $1,000,000 for the "Make Me Move". The more popular Third Man Records has gotten, and since they purchased the other building on the other side of them and remodeled it, the owner of the apartment building is now asking $2,200,000 for the "Make Me Move". If you do go to that zillow.com web sight you can even see the apartment building advertised, "sits next door to Jack White's Third Man Records building...another cool vibe." The bigger and better TMR gets the more the owner wants for the apartment building next door to TMR. I may never win the lottery and be able to buy that old apartment building that once housed jazz players when they came to town but I'll keep dreaming about it and the dream I have for that space next door to TMR in downtown Nashville, TN...up the street from the swingers club and across the street from the homeless shelter's parking lot. Funny...you know about the swingers club on the other side of TMR.

you mean the swingers club? or the homeless shelter?
Re: “Hey, Does Anyone Know if Nashville Is 'The Silicon Valley of the Music Business'?”
My 2cents: It all comes down to the cost of living. How many musician/singer/songwriters can afford to live in LA or NYC or even Seattle comfortably? . The last time I checked, Washington State doesn't' have a state income tax but the cost of living there can get down right depressing. I did love living there when I was single but I didn't want to go back there to live again once I had a family to raise and kids to get through college. I did want to live in TN and be close to all of the "live" music". Tennessee doesn't have a state income tax and the cost of living can be dirt cheap compared to LA, NYC and Seattle. [[[Added note: When my kids went to college in TN they received the TN Lottery Scholarships/money to help them pay for their college education. That was a nice benefit for living in TN. When I play the lottery now and don't win, I at least know I'm giving back to the college scholarship fund that helped my kids pay for some of their college tuition. If I ever do win the lottery I want to buy that apartment building next door to Third Man Records in Nasvhille, tear it down and build a really classy theatre (with a larger capacity than the Blue Room at 190 maximum) for "live" shows and great films to be viewed.] ]]

If I am prepared from fresh ingredients and stored at 2-8C for less than 48 hours, I can actually be quite festive at your get together, but that doesn't change the fact that this band is some weak trifling bullshit.
