Thursday Bric-a-Brac: Awesomeness, Local Honey, WOTT

1. As we speak, even though we are not speaking, The Most Awesome Nashville Rock Song data is being crunched by a supercomputer (running Leopard) that's cooled by liquid nitrogen and housed in a lair under the sea inside a volcano. (All I'll say at the moment is that early returns show a strong anti-drum machine bias.)
2. It's been a while since Local Honey played host to a rock show, but Caitlin Rose will be joined there by And the Relatives and The Countrymusic this Saturday, 26th, at 6 p.m. Get there early and buy a dress or a floor-length dashiki. (Hint: Local Honey is not on Dickerson Pike.)
3. And, in case you missed it, the new, slightly more electronic-leaning WOTT mix went up the other day. (It does not seem overly biased against drum machines. Or robot narrators.)




Comments
I don't know how anyone else feels, but local honey is the worst music venue I have ever been to,and I've been to a lot. The people that work there have the "holier than thou" attitude, and the crowd they attract is more concerned with how cool they look than anything else(and trust me,you don't look cool at all.). I thought people left that stuff back in high school? It's got every bad stereotype that "indie rock" has and so much more. It sucks because I want to go to this show but I guess I'll sit it out because of the venue.
Posted 07/24/2008 at 10:47:46 AMIt's a vintage clothing store, thus one should expect very fashion-conscious people to hang out at shows there. I've never felt judged by people there, but then again I could give a rat's ass what people think of my clothes. And I always enjoy the vibe of outdoor shows on warm summer evenings.
Posted 07/24/2008 at 11:16:49 AMYeah fuck what people think, though I'm not a big fan of that place either, the people who work there do seem snotty but fuck what they think too.
Posted 07/24/2008 at 11:43:40 AMFuck people! Fuck thinking!
Posted 07/24/2008 at 12:21:55 PMSteve I totally agree, but it literally makes me sick to be around the type of materialistic people that run that place and go to shows there. Being "fashion-conscious" as you say is one thing, which I like to think that I'm a fashionable girl, but its the attitude those people have that I'm talking about.
Posted 07/24/2008 at 12:35:01 PMvery fashion-conscious people = shallow whores.
Posted 07/24/2008 at 03:30:23 PMpeople who think they aren't shallow because they aren't fashionable and pre-judge those who are = even more shallow
Posted 07/24/2008 at 03:50:41 PMLets not forget about the 86 pound guys in v-neck t-shirts that go to those shows TobintheGnome.
Posted 07/24/2008 at 04:07:36 PMI dont' really think anyone was "prejudging" anyone, she said she had gone to shows there and the people were shitty to her,and lets not forget about the 86 pound guys in v-neck t-shirts that go to those shows TobintheGnome.
Posted 07/24/2008 at 04:09:06 PM86 lb guys?? Are you talking about JEFF or Turbo Fruits??
Posted 07/25/2008 at 09:48:13 AMI guess everybody should get their time and place to be the cool kids, and you usually get your time and place to get made to feel uncool by said cool kids, too, but I have chosen to navigate the calm waters of mediocrity throughout life...not uncool enough to feel uncool, and not cool enough to make anyone else feel uncool. ignorance is not bliss...mediocrity is. i'm kidding...i'm cool.
Posted 07/25/2008 at 10:12:14 AMYeah, the problem is that the kids that hang there aren't "cool" at all as you say.
Posted 07/25/2008 at 10:49:23 AMDo they have beer at these Local Honey shows? I've never been to one, but plan to walk up there on Saturday. And then I'm going to keep walking over to Brown's Diner to see Joe Bidewell.
Posted 07/25/2008 at 11:34:02 AMIt's byob unfortunately, but these shows typically turn out to be pretty fun little parties. I'm not exactly sure where all this animosity over V-necks and fashion stems from, but I've never been accosted at Local Honey for wearing regular-neck t-shirts.
Posted 07/25/2008 at 12:27:33 PMyeah, those 86-pounders aren't generally the accosting type.
Posted 07/25/2008 at 01:22:21 PMDon't know, those 86 pounders can be pretty aggressive, especially when they're wearing headbands.
Posted 07/25/2008 at 01:58:20 PMyeah, never underestimate what a headband and a guitar can do for an 86-pounder. one second, they're getting pushed around, and the next they're all getting laid and kicking ass.
Posted 07/25/2008 at 04:01:14 PMyeah, you're right. never underestimate what a headband and a guitar can do for an 86-pounder. One second they're getting pushed around, and the next they're all getting laid and kicking ass.
Posted 07/25/2008 at 04:03:07 PMdammit. sorry.
Posted 07/25/2008 at 04:05:30 PMDoyle is that what you tell yourself when your rockin out in your mom's basement in front of your full body closet mirror? Get a life dude.
Posted 07/28/2008 at 11:13:59 AMdude...where did that come from? i don't ever dog anybody on here, and i wasn't then. i was just saying everybody finds their own way to be cool, and i'm cool with that. i'm way closer to BEING an 86-pounder than pushing anybody around.
