Creamtastic / National Skyline Ear to the Ground: Nashville Now Available From LimeWire Store
Posted by Steve Haruch on Thu, Oct 22, 2009 at 9:25 AM
I know what you're thinking! Actually, I don't. The folks at the LimeWire Store approached the Scene about doing a free sampler of Nashville bands for their website, so what do you think we said?
Go here right now, as in immediately, and download Ear to the Ground: Nashville for free. How easy is that? It's got songs by Cortney Tidwell, How I Became the Bomb, The Dynamites Featuring Charles Walker, Jensen Sportag, The Privates, Kidsmeal, Those Darlins--y'know, the good stuff. (If you're really squeamish about a free download, you can preview all the tracks by clicking the big play button under the compilation artwork.)
So enjoy. There are similar samplers up for other cities like National League champion Philadelphia and, uh, Cy Young Award-harboring(?) San Francisco, but first things first, people. First things first.

Apparently just harboring a Cy Young winner (?) isn't enough to convince LimeWire to do a comp for a city. I looked through the whole catalog and there was nary a mention of "Ear To The Ground: Kansas City."
October is a tough time for Royals fans. As are the months between April and September.

that Jensen Sportag song is one i've never heard before. not off of anything they've put out so far as I can tell and it's amazing! constantly changing weird disco synthy stuff, one of their best I think.
no Mean Tambourines? I don't get why they are not being embraced. Boggles the mind.
I saw mean tambourines at NBN and wondered the same thing. They had a decent crowd though.
What, no Clockhammer? No Michael Landon's Ghost? No For Kate's Sake? No Stone Deep? What about Brown Cow? What about all the bands that I like?
I think the point Zac was making is that he hasn't seen this band get much coverage. They seem to have a decent draw in town, and i was just agreeing on his point after catching their last show. I suppose your point would make sense Mike, if you mentioned bands that were doing anything to speak of.
When you make a mix for friends, do you actually consider a band's draw when deciding what to include? I just put songs I like on them.
I think you're completely misunderstanding what i'm saying. I've been turned onto some great bands through reading the cream (shoot the mountain, JEFF, and the relatives, turbo fruits and the protomen to name a few) and just wondered how you missed, that's all. I also saw a band called the Young Republic a few weeks ago and wondered the same.
