Inside This Week's Music Section
Hope all you lovely and cantankerous Cream readers are having a swell holiday. None of us is technically in the office right now, but we still busted our asses last week to give you an issue today. Here she blows:
Bare Is My Mind? Bobby Bare Jr. covers up with his ace Pixies and Breeders tribute act. (Playing Friday, 28th at Mercy Lounge).
Rock ’n’ Roll Poll: The local rock scene on the local rock scene. Read what locals had to say on the year in Nashville rock.
Smokin’ ’Grass: For the jam-band set, Del McCoury’s music is a mind-altering substance. (Playing Monday, 31st at the Ryman.) -- See Jack's outtake from the interview below.
Our Critics' Picks: Chicago Afrobeat, Be Your Own Pet, Grand Palace Christmas Bash, Is She Weird, Is She White w/Teenage FBI, Casey Driessen, On Command, and a shit-ton of New Year's Eve shows, including The Features, How I Became the Bomb, JEFF, Meemaw, Left Can Dance, Walk the West and all the locals you love to hate.

I think we need to put some ropes around the stage at Mercy Lounge one night and throw in Kyle & Jared and see what happens.

Posted 12/27/2007 at 02:28:10 PMbobby bare jr. is the last person to be singing pixies songs. I've seen it and it hurts like a kick to the twat
Posted 12/27/2007 at 02:54:04 PMthat hurts? i always thought that was how girls got off. shit, i'm gonna have to reconsider everything i know about sex.
Posted 12/27/2007 at 04:24:08 PMjared micah can suck it.
kyle is awesome.
Posted 12/27/2007 at 08:48:08 PMperiod.
Kyle Andrews is worse than Ben Gibbard. Overrated.
Posted 12/27/2007 at 11:03:54 PMAnyone know anything about the GbV coverband that is playing at Mercy on Friday night? Any good? Old stuff or new stuff? High kicks? Beer guzzling? Tobin songs?
Posted 12/28/2007 at 10:20:38 AMHow come the record label "Ecstatic Peace" is always prefaced by "Thurston Moore's," as in "Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace Records"? Will it ever live as solely Ecstatic Peace Records? Does it always have to be qualified as Thurston Moore's label. It just kinda bugs me, you know.
Posted 12/28/2007 at 01:54:05 PMteenage fbi will play gbv's best songs. that means lots of alien lanes + bee thousand, good later stuff like glad girls and their namesake, and pollard solo stuff too like pop zeus. fronted by gbv/pollard superfan phil pomeroy.
Posted 12/28/2007 at 02:04:37 PMand we're good but we need to practice.
This wasn't in the scene, its for any kids that can't get into the end (plus any other 18+ and 21+ places), and/or have parents that wont let them go out on new yrs eve because the roads r unsafe, fukk age restrictions.

chris davis deserves many thanks for all he's brought to the music scene over the years.he was the only person who would book me during the early days .. Chris is a risk taker and nashville would be boring without him..
and cherry blossoms are a nashville treasure , yes.
Posted 12/28/2007 at 05:41:16 PMcheers.
Tonight at Mercy is THE 1ST ANNUAL SHRIMP & WHITE WINE PARTY:
Eureka Gold, Joel J. Dahl & Caitlyn Rose, The Titts, CobraChetahTigerViper (reincarnation of the Non-Commissioned Officers), and LaSalle are all playing.
The cover is ONLY $3! There shall be free shrimp & $3 glasses of white wine for all who attend. It is 18+. Doors are at 8.
It also happens to be my birthday party; but worry not, your attendance alone is the only gift I need.
Posted 12/29/2007 at 12:29:41 PMFree Shimp?! Hot diggity damn!
Posted 12/29/2007 at 02:04:13 PMWe all gonna have some fun!
For the record, "Is She Weird Is She White" is probably the lamest Pixies tribute band name of all time.
Posted 01/03/2008 at 11:17:49 AMI think kyle andrews writes better songs then you Jared. That's why he does better. Oh, and maybe the fact that the unicorn fad you chose to promote your band just isn't as cool as stick figures.
