* Local fancy-pants sugar-pop goon Brandon Jazz and his Armed Forces have a brand-new single by the name of "Cool Heaven." It features vocals from Alicia of Vanity Theft as well as a Paul Simon sample — the latter giving me mixed feelings, as I love that riff but also wonder if it's being misappropriated. No matter, as Jazz will take any opportunity to play jester to the local rock scene. Hear "Cool Heaven" after the jump or via The Armed Forces' Bandcamp page, and see a press release from Jazz — which features a fake (repeat, FAKE) quote from original hustler Jack White. See the Forces tonight at Mercy Lounge along with Oh No No, The Worsties and The 1-10s.

* Local clothing retailers Imogene + Willie now have a feature on their website called "Our Voice," and for it they recently interviewed Nashvillian hip-hop artist Chancellor Warhol. Chance spoke a little bit on his affinity for art (Andy Warhol, duh), film (Back to the Future, mega-duh), being from the Nashville area (representing my hometown of Hendersonville, super-duh) and more. There's also some talk about style and photos of Chance looking rather dapper. Dig it.

* The Scene's sister publication, Her Nashville, recently sat down for a chat and a few helpings of Sweet CeCe's frozen yogurt with the folks from Ten out of Tenn. "No topping was off limits," says Her. Who here likes vanilla?!

* So Toadies II — nice name, right? — is the project of Christopher Murray, also known for his work in other thoughtfully named outfits including Square People Jazz Maturity and Hepatitties. Well, Mr. Murray recently tweeted at us — he protects his tweets, so if you don't follow him, you probably won't be able to see that — asking how we could post Look What I Did's latest music video and not the video for Toadies II's "Good Boy." Now, we don't typically negotiate with terrorists, but I don't want anyone thinking we prefer Look What I Did over the sort of spastic, cerebral, neurotic bedroom punk that Murray makes. So see "Good Boy" after the jump.
