This is a BIG week coming up. It's officially Next Big Nashville time, so get your wristbands and your cab fare ready [Seriously, take the shuttle or a cab if you're going to be show-hopping. No reason to be drunk driving.] On top of that, there are alot of non-NBN shows to hit up. Like tonight's Dan Deacon, Tuesday night's Soft Pack show, and Sunday's Coathangers' show. We are posting a bunch of the NBN showcases here, but we can't find pricing info for most of the shows.

geez.

fge3565g, WE DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE... BUT THANKS

Check out this babe's vids. They rule pretty hard. Especially that video up there from William's house show a few weeks ago, and the multiple Dude Cruz videos. You know who drums for Dude Cruz? Nathan Vasquez. You know what other band Nathan's in that we love? Deluxin. They really killed it the other night at Little Hamilton, and it just cemented our belief that Deluxin can never die.

GET OUTTA HERE

OK ladies, we've been running around all over town this week trying to get some work done, but today and tomorrow are just too nice of days to spend in here on the interstate super webway. We're gonna spend the day today over at Grimey's eating BBQ, partying hard, and buying cheap LPs and then head over to Little Hamilton tonight for a show. Then after that we're gonna find ourselves some girlfriends. We suggest you do the same. Expect a lot of goodies to come your way next week, including..... fully frontal Next Big Nashville coverage, lots of photos, lots of show announcements, maybe some interview/reviews, and maybe a downloadable mixtape for you babies so you can digital digital get down. Only if you're lucky though.

HOT SPOT

Man, we just got back from The 5 Spot. We weren't even planning on going out tonight, but, you know, sometimes it just happens. We decided to check it out when we heard that Heavy Cream had jumped back on the bill and were treated to great sets from both Kintaro and Heavy Cream. Heavy Cream kept it real cool. Then the JEFF boys took the stage [along with Wez on bass] They played a quick Heavy Cream cover [Lava Lamp] and then played "I'm a Freek" If that wasn't treat enough, Wez and Jake decided to grace us with their latest band, SHREDDERS. It ruled. The babies in that video up there would've loved to have been at this show.

P.S. We said "Heavy Cream" like 4 times in that one paragraph. Crush much?

Two great shows today. We're only posting the playlist from A Bit Stranger, but I can tell you that there was some Hollies, The Fall, Box Elders, Hornet Leg, whatever just listen to the show. If you listened in today, you got to hear a special rendition of Bad Brains' "Pay to Cum" done by your's truly and DD. Be glad you missed it.

A BIT STRANGER [10/1/09]

Jay Reatard // Blood Visions
Michael Jordan // Mudslinger
Useless Eaters // Action
DYS // Wolfpack
Urinals // Ack Ack Ack
Crystal Castles // Insecticon [unreleased]
Elvis Presley // Mystery Train
Personal & The Pizzas // Nobody Makes My Girl Cry Except For Me
White Wires // I Remember How
Ty Segall // I Got Stoned
Jacuzzi Boys // You Should Know
Hall & Oates // Say It Isn't So
Heavy Cream // Lava Lamp
Juiceboxxx // Thunderjam #3
JEFF The Brotherhood // Mind Ride
Bad Brains // Pay to Cum [sorry for ruining that to whoever requested it]
Wipers // Youth of America

QUICKIES

Hey babies, we're super busy today between radio shows and printing some tee shirts [not for Nashville's Dead, for soon-to-be-touring Natural Child] But! We do have a few things to make you aware of: 1. Heavy Cream is NOT playing the show at The 5 Spot tonight. 2. Lazy Magnet is also NOT playing the show this Saturday at Little Hamilton [they didn't have the funds] but Deeyay will be filling in before he heads back out to Tampa. 3. Go to Little Hamilton tonight to catch Satan's Youth Ministers, The Humms, and Lil' Daggers. Three really great touring bands for $5. Doy!

SET YOUR ALARM CLOCKS TO US!

[Those are some Carmen Sandiego lips if we've ever seen them.]

Hey babies. Don't forget to tune in today [Thursday] to 91.1FM WRVU from 11-12PM and from 4-5PM. The earlier show [11-12] is actually The Curse of the Drinking Class, but Forever Young will be sitting in with them for the next few months. And that show rules anyways. And then be sure to tune in for A Bit Stranger later on. There might be a surprise guest on the show, you'll just have to listen in to see who! Sleep tight...
