three of [the guitarists] seem to be playing the same power chords while the fourth finger-taps 'Muppet Babies' versions of Van Halen solos." hahahahahahahaha.
Re: “Wild Cub's Misfortune Featured in New York Times; See Them Open for Ellie Goulding Tonight at the Ryman”
In a word, Burrito, the answer to your second question is yes. In regard to your first question, who can really say? Perhaps relaxed-fit jeans leave young bands feeling TOO relaxed and therefore — just maybe — complacent and unmotivated. Discomfort breeds growth, as they say. ... Do they say that?
Re: “Wild Cub's Misfortune Featured in New York Times; See Them Open for Ellie Goulding Tonight at the Ryman”
Why does everyone in bands these days have to wear the same jeans? Is it like the 21st Century version of the Beatles' suits?
Re: “The Melvins to Play Third Man Records May 30, Shuggie Otis to Play Exit/In Oct. 10”
I really enjoy that record, Tobin. It's got plenty of mellow soul elements, but just enough of a left-field vibe to be interesting upon closer inspection. Another one I enjoy is Here Comes Shuggie Otis. He does some interesting stuff with strings on that one.

I picked up 'Inspiration Information' a little over a decade ago. Never took. Is it worth a second listen?

Good Morning Doyle, You asked so I'll explain. Last evening "snowman69" made the first comment asking if anything cool was going on this weekend. His quote, "Seems bleak out there". Since the Nashville Scene was sponsoring the Margarita Festival with "live" music, brought it up, and that party was located in the street right next to the Station Inn where friends of Marty Stuart would be playing later in the night. Seemed logical to mention to me. I have never heard of the Melvins but since they are from the Pacific Northwest, a place I loved living once and could move back to any time (every summer here in TN makes me want to), well, I think that's wonderful that Third Man Records is hosting the Melvins for a "live" show in the Blue Room on May 30th. I also haven't heard of Shuggie Otis either. With the way the economy is these days we all need to be careful when, where, why and how we spend our money and on what. I spent my budgeted concert ticket money on a ticket to see Pokey Lafarge at Third Man Records in the Blue Room on 1 June and actually would have got a ticket to see the Melvins if I didn't have other obligations on May 30th. I'll go to the Third Man Records venue any day/night. I saw Steve Earl at the Exit/In many years ago (maybe a decade ago), where I ran into Gary Scruggs, but I didn't really care for that venue and haven't been back since. It's all about personal preferences and tastes. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Is that back on topic enough for ya?!?!
Re: “The Melvins to Play Third Man Records May 30, Shuggie Otis to Play Exit/In Oct. 10”
ahem. the above article says SHUGGIE FUCKIN' OTIS is coming to play Nashville. why are we talking about Margaritas and Marty Stuart?!?!
Re: “The Melvins to Play Third Man Records May 30, Shuggie Otis to Play Exit/In Oct. 10”
PS: Thought I'd check out who is playing a the Station Inn myself and it will be The Tennessean Mafia Jug band, a favorite of Mary Stuart's, who has had the band perform with him "live" and on his tv show. What the heck, go test sample the various margaritas and you will surely be ready for some down home stoppin music in the tiny little Station Inn venue if it ain't already packed by the time you get there. If you are going to be sampling the margaritas please bring along a designated driver!

@snowman69, Margarita Festival this evening, May 17, from 6PM-9PM in the Gulch between Pine ST and Bar Louie (includes; margarita samples, "live" music and food trucks). You can park in the parking lot across the street from the Station Inn and after the Margarita Festival, sponsored by the Nashville Scene, you can pop on into The Station Inn for more live music (go to www.stationinn.com to find out who will be playing and you never know who else, celebrity wise, may pop in there tonight too).

Re: “Will 'Struggle' Harness: The Cream Interview”
I was livin wit this man around the time him and wolf was recording, i didnt really know who wolf was at the time because there where alot of people that would come as family and leave as enemies but i can tell u and this is from livin on the streets with em and to livin in the same cell he never changed his attitude toward his career or toward his fans, cashing in, not the situation at all. Alot of these rappers get on the high horse and classify themselves in a higher bracket after there name blows up, strugg never once , and if you know him u would agree....free struggle......a-game

Re: “Best Local Rock Songs Ever, Part 18 [Sam Baker, The Bis-Quits, Royal Court of China, Practical Stylists, The Ratz]”
I discovered The Royal Court of China via MTV when I was in high school (pretty sure that's the ONLY time that ever happened) and I loved both albums (uh...I think I need that EP...anyone?). Anyway, I was THRILLED when they reunited those couple of times here in town over the last few years and I even met Robert right before the Emporium opened and he was very gracious with my fan boy questions. One of my favorite bands from my youth and this town helped me see 'em live! Very cool!

Re: “Bobby Bare Jr. w/Birdcloud at The Basement, 5/18/13”
I said to my son after the show - "We listened to 3 bands and never heard any of the songs before. It blew our socks off huh." It was as good as any concert I have ever attended.
