Whatevs Death to False Metal
Posted by Steve Haruch on Thu, Jan 24, 2008 at 1:13 PM
Naturally, I was psyched when I saw that there's a website called Nashville Metal.
Unfortunately, it's not about metal, it's about metal. I guess I can't fault whoever made the site. After all, putting together your own little corner of the Internets is easier said than done.
(And yes, I know Immortal are not from Nashville. I just love that picture.)

Cream Calendar Right Click
Posted by Steve Haruch on Wed, Jan 23, 2008 at 4:31 PM
In the print edition of this week's Scene, Nicky Click's appearance at Cafe Outloud is incorrectly listed in our Critics' Picks section as taking place on Saturday. It is in fact taking place on Friday, Jan. 25. Apologies.
(The date is correct in both the print and online music listings and in the online version of Critics' Picks.)
Interviews Six Organs of Admittance Q and A
Posted by Matt Sullivan on Wed, Jan 23, 2008 at 1:00 PM
California's Six Organs of Admittance is the brainchild of guitarist Ben Chasny. Through what has primarily been a vehicle for Chasny's droney and psychedelic folk music, Six Organs has released nine full length records, the most recent being last year's Shelter from the Ash. Chasny also plays in the psych-rock band Comets on Fire. Six Organs of Admittance will play The End on Saturday, Feb. 2nd. I recently sent some questions to Chasny, and he even more recently responded with answers. Read both after the jump.

Remember when Feist played Grimey's back in '06? Even if you don't, you can go listen to the show over at rbally, where Grimey's is referred to as "one of the great music stores in the world."

Wow From the Archives: A Decade After Lucy's
Posted by Tracy Moore on Tue, Jan 22, 2008 at 11:06 AM
After traipsing through some archived pages of the old Scene website, I came across Jim Ridley's piece on the closing of Lucy's Record Shop, which actually happened a decade ago this month—Jan. 31, 1998. It's a great piece that captures what I tried to capture in writing about Nashville's seminal punk scene—the innately transitory nature of any movement, particularly any youth-oriented movement. (Note: I couldn't get the archived site's pictures to load.)
Slightly more than five years ago, Mary Mancini, a transplanted New Yorker turned record-store owner, formed an alliance with two young veterans of the local rock scene, Donnie and April Kendall. They banded together out of a common love of underground rock 'n' roll and a respect for its principles. Working in tandem, they established Nashville as a link in a nationwide underground that heralded coming movements in music, fashion, and thought. Now they're older. They have husbands and babies and ambitions apart from music. Some of them want new careers. Others want to get away from Lucy's just to remember what music feels like as a release, not as a job. These are all sound reasons-but they're also reasons that Lucy's teenage clientele have a hard time sympathizing with.
