Thanks "Buckeye Brother" from Ohio and brothers of Jeff the Brotherhood. I want to keep my studio (apartment) in Nashville now so I can continue to visit often and experience the trend of rock music happening in the ol Music City, USA. Only a few years ago, for the very first time, did I throw myself into the world of modern country music and as much as I tried to be a good fan, that brand of music was bringing me down and was literally making me ill. I couldn't stand it any more and I thought my days of spending time in Nashville had to come to an end. Then walking around one day, just around a few corners, I discovered the Third Man Records complex. My heart skipped a beat, believing it must be a place of true rock music. Thanks to all the rockers in Music City that are helping me out, since rock music is really the only music that makes my soul feel complete.

Yeah were would JEFF be without TMR's push? This collector shit makes me wanna vomit. All of the collector nit wits running up the price of everything. These people are the furthest thing from rock n' roll.

Hey, were on the same team here Bands! Love JEFF, all I was saying is those third man "fans" wouldn't have ever given them a chance unless Jack White said it's "OK"

The Donald Drinkwater, You need to check out the history of Infinity Cat Records (do a google search), the Jeff the Brotherhood brothers' Dad's company, where his kids, the brothers of Jeff the Brotherhood got their start. They were making their own music merch to sell at their own shows a long time ago. They still sell their own music from their own label, Infinity Cat Records, which if I am correct about the history, got signed with Warner Music recently...something like that. So making any music at Third Man Records and now with this Black Keys musician, well, it's all actually side projects for the brothers. When I first did research on the Jeff brothers I was pretty impressed with their history and their Dad's history. Their Dad goes back a long way as a musician and songwriter and now he is a record company owner and producer. He's recently had some song cuts by some well known country music recording artists (i.e., Reba and Taylor). I even remember reading that the Dad opened up for U2 back in 1981 (you will have to check that out to see if I 'm getting the details right here). Anyway, when I first saw the Jeff brothers at the Ryman last year, when they opened up for the wonderful Raconteurs band, I was quite impressed with their sound! They really have something going on and I would definitely put the music in the category of great rock and roll. Since I have been hanging out in Nashville more and learning more about the rock scene and all this new vinyl coming out of the Music City, I had to do some research on the plastic records. You might want to take a tour of United Record Pressing (Company) at 453 Chesnut ST , Nashville TN 37203. They have tours costing $5 per person on Tuesdays at 2PM and Fridays at 11AM, or if you want to bring a group of people you can call or email and request to set up a special time to get a tour. All the info can be found at their web site www.urpressing.com . I still need to take that tour. I am so impressed with what all the young rockers are doing in Nashville it makes an old rocker proud. I am also proud to have been raised on plastic. My Dad started working at the Monsanto Company plant just outside of Cincinnati, OH (in Addyston, OH) when I was 2 and retired when I was 32 (soon to be 58). When I was in grade school the company had an open house so the workers could bring their families into the plant and see what goes on (how plastic is made). I can still clearly see the end result which was a bunch of large bins full of colored pellets and being told those colored pellets are what get sent out to other companies to make things, like the white pellets being used for molding the inside parts of washing machines. Sometimes you just have to take the time to learn the history to appreciate the whole story behind a product. I love the colored vinyl (I know...white, and black too, aren't really considered colors). It still amazes me how the plastic can hold the sounds and be played back with a diamond point needle for listening pleasure. So Donald Drinkwater, welcome to the new Music City, USA. When you get yourself educated, you can't help but love the place and all the cool things going on there (like specially ordered and produced limited edition vinyl which makes it more special than mass produced music). I'm just thanking God there is a rock scene in the old predominately country music town. I couldn't stand all that modern country music anymore and I'm grateful, by going to Third Man Records shows, I discovered the Nashville Scene/Cream "Spin Dudes" work (online and in dead tree print) since those loyal music lovin guys keep the world well informed about the best things for rockers to do in "Tune Town". Now I want to see a real playing chocolate record being produced in Nashville. It can be done....saw a show called "How Do They Do That" (think it was on The History Channel). A guy in Germany figured it out (can find clips of him making chocolate records on www.youtube.com) and I wondered if any chocolate making companies in Nashville would try it out. Scott at Oliver and Sinclair said he would be willing take on making real playing records made out of cholcolate. Anyone ready to take on that adventure? I'm thinking a white chocolate record would be cool to play on a record player and then very tasty to eat. On one of the brothers tv appearances I caught, thought it was funny how the brothers had a guy eating a sandwhich while they were playing . How did that start bro's?

PS: The Donald Drinkwater, Be careful putting down Third Man Records' fans, which I am one. I started out seeing my first rock concert when I was 14 years old. Guess who I saw? I'll tell ya, Jimmi Hendrix. Then I became a fan of Neil Young's music. Guess how long I have been a loyal fan of his? Since fall of 1969 = just over 42 years. I could go on and on but don't you be insulting us true rock & roll/TMR/JWIII fans anymore. I discovered Jack White when I went to a Bob Dylan show at the Ryman in 2007 (first saw Mr. D. in 1978). Mr. White came out to play a song with Mr. Dylan. If it weren't for TMR I wouldn't have discovered Jeff the brothers. If you are a musician, especially in Nashville, you have to diversify to get yourself known. I'm glad the Jeff brothers are friends with the TMR folks. The rockers have to unite in a town oversaturated with modern country music. I can't afford to buy all the records TMR puts out and don't always care for every single artist on the label, so I am very selective about what I purchase. I'm glad that they have something more than Music Row is pushing on the world these days...cuzz a lot that stuff really sucks man. Happy to learn you love the Jeff bro's. C U'Round...and can you tell I am passionate about rock & roll music??? PS#2: Welcome to "Tune Town" Mr. A...glad to see you are helping to circle the rock & roll wagons.

Plastic, I only read the first few sentences of your post, but you know damn well you never heard of JEFF or Infinity Cat till after TMR showcased them.

Hey Hollands, Raised on plastic here. You are right. I hadn't heard of JEFF or Infinity Cat Records until TMR showcased them. And "so what?" is right, who gives a shit how people found out about them, I'm just glad I did. The modern country music players were really bringing me down with their style of music and lyrics and the rockers have brought me back up with their style of playing and lyrics. I ain't going backwards.

I love your comment "Here's Jonny". It's amazing that anyone reads my long hot-air releases. You got me laughing this morning. I love when I make a comment and come back and see a comment (or comments) on my comment. Yeah, I have had to do some venting via the Nashville Scene/Cream since I am a part-timer in the Music City and the main home base is 50 miles up the road in the military town next to Ft. Campbell, KY...still dealing with war around these parts and no one wants to hear about the troubles in the music business/industry when they are still coming and going to and from war. It's definitely 2 extremes from one town to another in TN. Oh, and yes, when the husband was deployed in war zones the internet was my only escape from the military town...didn't want to leave the kids home alone while their Dad was so far away so I could be partying in the Music City. So yes the internet is the greatest thing for an old stay-at-home mom....just wish the internet was around when I was in the military myself and stationed in Germany (before the wall came down). It was lonely missing America and American music. At least Loretta Lynn(gave her husband a German made scarf to give to her since it was winter time in Europe), Stephen Stills (he just happened to park his car right where I was walking by and I was so happy to see him get out of his car and start walking my way, I walked right over to him and kissed him on the lips...still young and single then), Cheap Trick (volunteered for the stage crew and got asked to guard the guitars...still got pictures of the guitars) and other great American music folks visited (via USO shows) and brought a little bit of the home country with them. So being able to hang out in Nashville is a dream come true for me...just need to be around more rock music since modern country music, for me, could be filed under "depressing music" . Now it's time to get out of the box and stay out of the box on this topic....although it is tempting to get back in and vent some more about the state of the music business/industry in Music City, USA. You may see me around, I'm the older woman always singing along that everyone says, "she can sing", "she sounds like a star", "she sounds like Patsy Cline". It's an honor to get such compliments when I just enjoy singing along with the best...like Vince. How ya doing Mr. Gill? Thanks for everything you and Amy do for the military folks and I never stop telling people you are a member of the Time Jumpers band, playing every Monday night at the Station Inn (where Mr. A. has also played), if you aren't out on the road with your own band...funny how you plan your schedule to try to be at the Station Inn with your friends almost every Monday night. My motto for the new year..."Let's Raise Some Hell In 2012" (maybe it can be a song title too). Oh"Here's Jonny", can you tell I use the internet to send out messages (via the NS/C) to the musicians in Music City that I don't see enough of but sure do miss and love? I f n love rock & roll. Vince was in the band Pure Priare League with guys from my hometown, Cincinnati, OH. Since Jack White is such a great rock musician and a single man again, I have been telling my husband (of 26 years) if I weren't 21 years older than Jack and married to him I'd want to be in Jack's life and hang out listening to him playing "live" for the rest of the days of my life. I can get unmarried but I can't get 21 years younger. Jack White likes older woman so maybe there's still a chance (lol...took my kids to tell me what that meant on the internet). Okay commenters have at it (I know some of you can be real bullies so let it out so you don't hurt anyone else...I just have a good laugh). I got better things to do now. Looking foward to seeing the Jeff bro's again, and Mr. A. sometime in the future, for the first time in Music City, USA. Lots of love your way "Here's Jonny" and ain't it going to be fun when the Black Keys musician produced Jeff bro's new record comes out. The NS/C "Spin Dudes" will be all over it I'm sure = LUCKY US!!! PS: I'd love to tell you some more stories to bore ya, "Here's Jonny", but here's just one from way back in the early 1980's...was the time tickets were all sold out to a Neil Young show in downtown Cincinnati, so I spent the last $10 that I had on me at the time on Neil Young merch and then when I saw Mr. Young, I walked up to him and told him I had just spent my last $10 on his merch and then after-wards some tickets had come on sale so I was sorry I was going to have to miss his show. Mr. Young reached into his left jean pants pocket, pulled out a crinkled up $20 bill and put it in my right hand then walked on, without saying a word. I used Neil's $20 bill to purchase a $10 ticket (plus those extra fees) to his show and gave the change to the guy putting a bag of dirty laundry under the tour bus. Thanks again Mr. Young! That sure was a special moment in my life!! It was a great show too!!! Got me to thinking it'd be cool to have Mr. A have you come by his studio and do a little jammin with Jammin and his bro. Love you kids...I got a couple of my own your same ages.
