Happy Hour: Rain, Snow, Sleet, Or Hail
- Reviews of today’s winter storm include “puny” and “a bust.” Yep, that about sums it up! [WZTV]
- In case you haven’t heard, Jack White is forming a new band called The Dead Weather and opening an office here in Nashville that’ll be home to his new record label, vinyl store, photo studio, dark room, and performance stage. We’re just bummed because he obvs forgot to throw in a coffee shop, swimming pool, burlesque lounge, rock climbing wall, and paint-your-own-pottery studio. (Thanks to all who sent the tip!)

- The sicko that shot up Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist church in Knoxville last year still maintains he was doing the world a favor. [WZTV]
- The Senate passed a bill today banning city and county government to establish living wages for employees of contractors because we’re, uh, too broke to pay people enough to actually live on. [Pith In The Wind]
- But the state did manage to approve a $25 increase for weekly unemployment checks using some of that stimulus money we’ve been hearing about. [WTVF]
- Albert Haynesworth can get away from the Titans, but his reckless driving charges for an accident that crippled a young man certainly won’t go away. Today he was charged with two misdemeanors that might set him back, oh, $550 and six months in jail? That’ll hurt. [WSMV]

Photo Of The Day: March 12, 2009
Now, this is what we like to see! New contributor que.sera caught this series of action shots during that epic 8-0 massacre against our arch-nemesis, the Detroit Red Wings. The series captures Jerred Smithson smashing Brad Stuart into the wall with great force, which was only one of many beautiful moments that we hope will be immortalized on the internets for years to come.
Photo Of The Day will be a recurring feature for Nashvillest as long you keep giving us stuff to post. Don’t worry–we’ll give you props. Just add them to the pool or tag them with “Nashvillest” if you’re feeling lazy.

Move Over Jessica Simpson; Jamie Lynn Spears Is Coming To Town
We thought we’d heard it all after Bon Jovi, Kid Rock, Jessica Simpson, and even Snoop Dogg started cranking out the country tunes in Nashville. But the latest news from E! Online is that Jamie Lynn Spears, Britney Spears’ mini-me, has been in town recording some demos for her new country album. Jamie Lynn Spears is known for her leading role on Nickelodeon’s Zoey 101, and received a lot of attention last year upon becoming a teenage mother, yet has never pursued music as a career (so we can’t really speculate on this quite yet). We’re now taking bets on who the next random celebrity to show up to record some country hits in Nashville will be.

Coldplay Announces June 6 Nashville Show
It has been called to our attention that Coldplay has added a Nashville date at the Sommet Center on June 6. Tickets go on sale on the 21st of this month, and will likely be outrageously priced, but included in the ticket price is the opportunity to see Chris Martin act all weird, so it’s totes worth it, right? Actually, we caught Coldplay when they played the Starwood (RIP) several years back, and it was a pretty incredible live show, even for those who weren’t huge fans. We’ll fill you in if we hear anything about presales, but for now, mark your calendars for the 21st. Thanks to Rachel A. for the tip!
UPDATE 3/18 11:20AM: Presale information will be available from Lightning 100 at 10am on Friday. Enjoy, and thanks to Erin A. for the tip!

Bright & Early: Gloomy Weather For A Gloomy Day Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Yesterday, the State of Tennessee received a special and kind-of-sad delivery from Miami containing the giant American flag that flew over Ground Zero after 9/11. Since it first left New York, the flag has been making the rounds all over the world to honor soldiers who have been killed in the war. And this time it’s our turn after a Tennessee National Guardsman and a lieutenant from the Sequatchie County Sheriff’s Office were killed in Iraq last month. If you’re downtown today, you can catch the flag flying over the Tennessee State Capitol.
- New jobs. You know it’s bad when even the minimum-wage summer jobs aren’t hiring. Luckily we may be in line for 12,000 summer jobs for low-income teens, except they’ll be at state parks and government offices which sounds like a boring way to spend the summer. But hey, it pays the bills.
- Abortion bill advances. A controversial bill limiting abortion access passed in the Tennessee Senate yesterday. Even if it passes this year, it would also have to pass a few more rounds before being placed on the ballot in 2014.
- Bits & pieces. In case you haven’t been outside today, it’s super-nasty … A Dickson County man stole a school bus to tow his real car out of the ditch … State legislators are finding new ways to try and loosen gun regulations … When everyone on the planet gets laid off, they apparently go out and buy suits.
