Chris Johnson Puts His “Act On Deck” With New Rap Single
Somewhere between beers two and three at happy hour tonight, Titans running back Chris Johnson took to the Twitters to unleash his new rap single. We have deduced that it is entitled “Act on Deck,” and it’s surprisingly devoid of autotune (too bad, now that T-Pain’s out of that market). Someone’s taking advantage of all [...]
Bright & Early: Oh No, Oh My Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’ve all been enjoying the gorgeous weather in the past few days, especially the explosion of color and foliage that happened seemingly overnight. But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows: Allergy season has arrived with a vengeance (albeit a month late) and now many Tennesseans (this half of your Nashvillest included) are [...]
Happy Hour: Revenge Of The Tennessee State Fair
The Tennessee State Fair is back! We thought it was dead ‘n’ gone with the passing of the State Fairgrounds, but since the Fairgrounds have an extension, so does the Fair. More good news is that a private company will be running it so hopefully it won’t suck as much. [Tennessean] Nashville is safe. Nashville [...]
Tonight: AA Bondy & Elvis Perkins At The Mercy Lounge
Once in a blue moon, Nashvillest gets so excited about some live music rolling through town that we can’t help but share our love with y’all, and tonight’s Elvis Perkins/AA Bondy bill at the Mercy Lounge meets the criteria. A mellow evening of melodic folk music by a pair of top-notch songwriters? Yes please. Opener [...]
Bright & Early: What’s For Breakfast Edition
Good morning, Nashville. A recent study by a food security-focused nonprofit revealed that Tennessee is one of 11 states where over 20% of kids under 18 are at risk for hunger, which comes out to about 300,000. Around 77,500 of those kids are under the age of 5. According to the president of Second Harvest [...]
Soundtrack For Your Weekend: Shiny Toy Guns, Paper Route and Meiko
If you’re looking for a little groove for your weekend (forgive us for the use of the term “groove”), it’s a good weekend to be in Nashville. Not that three days of music is necessarily unusual here in the Music City, but three days of music that we actually want to hear? A rare occurrence [...]
Convention & Visitors Bureau Produces Their Own Flip Side Video [Ha, Ha, Ha]
We want to preface this video with a short trip down memory lane. Once upon a time, the Nashville Convention & Visitors Bureau held a contest you may remember called the Flip Side of Nashville which was intended to showcase the many different kinds of music that come out of Nashville besides country. The instructions [...]
Photo Of The Day: November 5, 2008
We’ve been so distracted by colorful leaves and a certain election that we forget we’re in Music City. The band is The Airborn Toxic Event, the venue is Exit In, and the photographer is Mr.Tooley. Photo Of The Day will be a recurring feature for Nashvillest as long you keep giving us stuff to post. [...]
Don’t Miss This: Last Chance To Brave The Roller Derby
We can’t believe it’s already the end of the roller derby season. Our beloved Rollergirls are having their last bout on Saturday, and it’s an Intraleague Championship bout between the X-Pistols and the Damsels of Distress. Track down your favorite local Rollergirl hawking $10 tickets before Saturday (or buy online) or it’s $15 at the [...]
