  • 390: No Matter How Hard You Try, You Can’t Hear It All But Keep Trying

    For episodes ending in a zero or five, we try to do something a little different. Given that this is Episode 390, we’re sticking to that tradition by offering up a double episode. All told, there’s 27 tracks here and about 2 hours of runtime. Does that sound overwhelming? Too much? Well, trust me, it’s not! Just treat it like radio, turn it on, let it ride and enjoy passively. We even throw in an intermission to keep it interesting.

    That’s Son of the Challenger on our cover.

  • 389: Pronunciation Guides

    Last episode we jumped the queue to get to some newer music from the local area. This is the queue that was jumped! More great local music that might actually be more relevant to share this episode than it was last episode. Kismet.

    I mention DRKMTTR Fest in this episode. Be sure to mark your calendars for Oct 19th & 20th and go ahead and get those presale tickets.

    That’s Ronin Black & Walt Flames on our cover – their collab album as PIECES drops on Aug 30th. Due to a clerical error, this is not mentioned in the episode. Those responsible have been sacked.

  • 387: Far Out Fest 777 Preview

    Far Out Fest 777 starts on Thursday, Aug 1st and runs through Saturday, Aug 3rd. It’s free this year! We have a quick chat with founder, curator, team leader Bunny Nunn about the history of the festival and what to expect at this year’s iteration.

    After our chat, I spend some time previewing each of the artists playing over the weekend. Listening back to all it, it’s like a good playlist – plenty of variety but also thematically cohesive.

    Thursday, August 1st is Far Out Film Fest at The Backlot, it’s sold out but maybe you got a ticket!

    Friday, August 2 – Saturday, August 3 kicks off every evening at Vinyl Tap Nashville with a marketplace and lots of bands.

  • 385: Higher Voices

    For episodes ending in a zero or five, I try to do something a little different. It’s an opportunity to stretch outside our normal box a little bit. For this episode, I let the theme “higher voices” guide the selections. That’s it! The set is approximately two hours long and doesn’t come close to including everything I wanted to include. Despite that, it’s an excellent two hours if I do say so myself.

  • 383: Music is Mysterious

    There’s one track on this episode that was designated as Nashville, TN. Upon checking on it a week or so later, it was then designated as from Chengdu, China. Did the artist make the cross global trip? Was the original tag a joke? How did this music get made? Music is mysterious, we may never know the answer. What we do know is that 14 out of 15 tracks on this episode are definitely from the Nashville area. I’m a little biased but I’d also go as far as to say that 15 out of 15 tracks are a treat for your ears.

  • 382: 615 Day

    As you well know, June 15th is affectionally known as “615 Day” here in Nashville, TN. Thanks to our area code, it’s easy to connect 6/15 to (615). Lightning 100 has been making a treat of it for years (for which we are thankful!). In 2024, a new tradition begins with Six One Tribe holding their 615DAY festivities. The inaugural event takes place at The Basement East with the entire Six One Tribe performing, along with sets from Brian Brown and Sweet Poison. We felt excited by the event and magically felt inspired to put together a full playlist of Nashville hip-hop. This isn’t a holistic list by any stretch of the imagination but it’s a damn good ride if we do say so ourselves.

    Celebrating local music is something everyone should do every damn day! And you shouldn’t be restricted to one genre! Nashville’s got it all – hip-hop, indie rock, electronic experimentation, et al. But this year, let’s lean into the hip-hop and really appreciate those gems.

    That’s Six One Tribe on our cover, duh.

  • 381: Return to Form

    As noted in the last episode, the backlog is over! At least, the 2023 backlog is over. Now I’m working on the 2024 backlog. It never ends. That’s a good thing; the well will never run dry. Maybe I should have entitled the episode that. Next time. Regardless, helluva great episode here ready for your ears.

    While you’re here, go ahead and subscribe to DIZZY SPELL, the newest We Own This Town podcast. It’s a show dedicated to “All Things High Strange” and it’s a fascinating delight. Subscribe, ASAP!
