I Saw You Doing Something Somewhere Around Here and You Are Kinda Famous
After checking out another local publication's "You Were Spotted" column at lunch, I realized how much crazy gossip we get here at the Scene every single day. Of course, we can't print all of it, but I thought I'd offer up just a slice of things we heard and saw in the last week. Of course, most of these tidbits are "unconfirmed," but then again, rumors are rumors!

That was great! Especially the part about Zigz!
Posted 05/04/2007 at 03:13:21 PMhahahahahahahaha! I love it! And just for the record, I was not dirty dancing. I was simply "feeling the music."
Posted 05/04/2007 at 03:18:41 PMYou made that up about Oprah.
Posted 05/04/2007 at 04:07:03 PMShe speaks!
Posted 05/04/2007 at 04:13:29 PMIs Jetpack UK really changing their name to The Nobility? I know they said they were at the Comfies/Autovaughn show but I was hoping that it was just a cruel joke.

Posted 05/04/2007 at 04:46:23 PMAs a promoter it is my job to book bands, to pay the bands and to hopefully get paid myself (which doesn't always happen).
Posted 05/04/2007 at 04:56:29 PMMurfreesboro in general is not a convenient place to book shows. To be quite honest, Wal $treet offers nothing except a frat-haven, the boro is a sports bar that doesn't even provide a p.a. and bluesboro is larger gaudier version of Wal $treet.
Casa Burrito and Temptation Club were both gems for the community. Hosting above average shows for our very decent music scene.
Casa Burrito didn't lose its license for selling alcohol due to the citations. They were selling alcohol under someone else's ABC permit (which in case you didn't know is illegal). I decided to stop booking shows there because of how unstable the business was becoming, my personal relationship with the new mgmt and because of thier inability to control underage drinking. If I were trying to exploit the business, no one would have been carded and I would have left it completely up to the bartenders. It is easy to cast blame on someone who sticks their neck out and takes risk. But when you start running your mouths about things that you know nothing about, you only make yourself seem more ignorant than you obviously already are.
Sweetwater will do for the time being. If you want to help murfreesboro's music stop bitching and go to the shows.
I love this place and I want to see a proper venue up and running. DIY is great, but our scene will keep riding this unfortunate roller-coaster unless a venue that is more stable is opened.
why did it take so long for me to hear about myself getting bashed on nashville cream?
btw. thanks for sticking up for me.
huh?
Posted 05/04/2007 at 05:05:43 PMIn reference to this.

Posted 05/05/2007 at 09:25:49 AMI'm calling Shenanigans on the David Dewese sightings! He's touring Asia right now (in a band, not the military). I can confirm the Meg White/Bill Hall story, though!
Posted 05/05/2007 at 09:31:33 AMChris, I can't belive my spot-on lip-synching for the Features video didn't make your list. I'm kinda famous, right?
Chris Slack shitting diamonds all over town!
Posted 05/05/2007 at 04:15:31 PMSo Drogul's leaving Autovaughn? What are they doing now?
Posted 05/06/2007 at 05:30:52 PMi think they are just going to retire and buy houses, boats and whatnot with all their money. isn't that what slack did?
Posted 05/07/2007 at 07:56:12 AMI've lived in Nashville for 5.5 years and have never seen a 'celebrity'. Then again its hard to see them when you never leave the house...
Posted 05/07/2007 at 08:55:10 AMWell I've seen a lot of celebrities, and believe me, Shoegazer, they're just like you and Ethan, except with human heads.

Posted 05/07/2007 at 10:47:54 AMSo they're scragly haired shut-ins whose only joys in life are internet pron and acting like an ass on local blogs?
sounds about right to me

Posted 05/07/2007 at 02:08:36 PMTalking Business with me

Posted 05/07/2007 at 02:22:29 PMShane Spresser recording a solo album under the name of DJ Gorgeous Mane.
Posted 05/07/2007 at 02:30:19 PMok, so the DJ Gorgeous Mane was a joke..
Posted 05/07/2007 at 09:06:05 PMbut, as far as i can tell, due to a few departures the Velcro Stars are no more and SHane has talked about starting a "super-group" called Meat Pleaser. Keith will be getting a full time job in murfreesboro and writing music and selling it t the highest bidder.. he's actually in talks with Ben Kwellers people about some of his old Velma vs. Daphne songs. anyway, i just figured youd all want to know.
Mmm...internet prawn.
Posted 05/07/2007 at 09:47:10 PMMan, I love Jamie Curtis.
Posted 05/07/2007 at 11:09:43 PMwell, i gotta tell the truth since no one else is.

Posted 05/09/2007 at 08:05:00 PMummm.. wow.
Posted 05/09/2007 at 09:20:27 PMComment removed.
Posted 05/10/2007 at 02:02:29 AMMan, nothing is more mysterious than "Comment removed." I think I'd pay serious pesos to see those enigmatic redactions. Who's with me?
Posted 05/10/2007 at 02:25:32 PMthey were spam for some weird Spanish site. it was just a bunch of html. no mysteries there.
Posted 05/10/2007 at 07:59:56 PMGlory be! I was really counting on a link to a picture of Jamie Curtis' sweaty glands.
Posted 05/10/2007 at 09:07:27 PMwell if thats all it takes: my big sweaty self, the new drummer for velcro stars/meat pleaser
Posted 05/11/2007 at 02:15:35 PMI am your hairless body twin. We are the loneliest of the lonely men.
