Happy Hour: Their Sex Is On Fire

- We can’t believe that we missed out on this amazing once-in-a-lifetime opportunity–this honor, even–to appear alongside the internationally acclaimed and overwhelmingly famous Kings of Leon in their latest music video, which for some reason they decided to film in lowly Nashville. We might cry ourselves to sleep tonight. [Nashville Craigslist]
- Ford Motor Company is offering up $20K to help the kids in Metro Schools prepare for careers, but hopefully not in the American auto industry which probably won’t exist in a few years anyway. [WSMV]
- Speaking of that, 22 local radio stations are teaming up for a campaign called “Radio to the Rescue” in which they hope to convince all of us we need to buy cars right now in order to rescue the aforementioned struggling auto industry. [Our inbox]
- The Nashville Career Advancement Center is offering free career services to all of you out-of-work Nashvillians at any of their six locations around Middle Tennessee. [WSMV]
- In case anyone cares, there was a vicious cow-milking competition outside of Legislative Plaza today and Rep. Dale Ford totally pwn3d Rep. Mike Turner. [Post Politics]
- Oh, and we’ve got six brand spankin’ new hybrid buses as part of our MTA fleet as of this afternoon! [Nashville Business Journal]

Zombie Call In Smyrna For Indie Monster Flick

We think that our buddies over at the Tennessean would get along well with Zombie Craigslist Dude, with their recent declarations “ZOMBIES WILL CLOSE SMYRNA STREET” and “CALLING ALL ZOMBIES.” And by “get along well with Zombie Craigslist Dude,” we mean that they’re probably the reason that he’s planning a war on terrorist zombies. Alarming headlines aside, there is actually an open casting call for an independent monster movie that apparently needs a bunch of zombie extras. We have to wonder, does the director know what he’s getting himself into?
The Tennessean has this to say:
Aspiring actors and/or armies of the undead are invited to report to Smyrna later this month, where the director of a new monster movie is holding an open casting call for zombie extras.
Would-be zombies will attend a Zombie Class at 119 Front St. in Smyrna from 7-8 a.m. on April 26. There, the extras will learn the ways of the undead: shambling around, groaning, fighting, devouring the brains of the living, and so forth.
Then it’s on to makeup and then off to downtown Smyrna, where the movie will be shooting at the corner of 2nd Street and Jefferson Avenue until 2:30 p.m.
The movie in question is Dead Start, directed by George Demick.
So let’s see if we have this straight. A class to learn how to be a zombie… And a class to learn how to rid the world of zombies. Ahh, Nashville. You make us smile yet again.

Photo Of The Day: April 14, 2009
We’re seeing lots of photos of the tornado damage in Murfreesboro making their way through the Flickr pool, but this eerie hand-held panorama by mchasesteely caught our eye, taken on Easter morning at sunrise. Best viewed large.
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.

Blockbuster’s Busted: White Bridge Store Shuts Doors [Comings & Goings]

Our White Bridge Blockbuster store is closing its doors for good at the end of April, and that means plenty of $1.99, $3.99 and $7.99 DVDs to go around! Yippee, liquidation sales! But we have to wonder…
Is this forewarning of what’s to come? Blockbuster is struggling to complete financing deals and to stay afloat amidst competitors Netflix and Redbox, and recent reports don’t do much to convince us of their long-term sustainability. Amidst all that dreary news, we are glad that we’re keeping the rest of our Blockbuster stores (for now), because we just LOVE renting “Casper Meets Wendy” on Halloween night and paying $7 for it. Uh, not that we did that or anything.
Really, we’re just glad that at least most Blockbuster employees get to keep their jobs. A shuttering of 7,400 stores wouldn’t do anything for our already astronomical unemployment rate.
