Hello all-
So my three week uber-hiatus has been rougher than rough at school. 6 hours in three weeks...i would advise against it to all of you. Anyway I just finished up a paper about Kelly Clarkson and American Idol and how it is lulling the music industry into some sort completely false sense of security as they think they can just manufacture this crap product and then distribute it for mass consumption. Of all the "idols," i respect Clarkson the most. The girl can sing, and I have yet to see her compromise her body for media attention, but still...this is not the way artists should be packaged and delivered.
anyway. so my paper is poorly written and all kinds of ugly to read, but I already know I'm going to get less than an A in that class so cheers to a GPA spiraling downward! woo!
In other news, my internet is completely and totally disconnected in my apartment. Apparently it is a widespread thing in the housing units on campus, but I have little hope that it will be coming back on anytime soon. In the meantime I shall have to do reading for my finals on Friday. After Friday, I am all yours scenesters.
Speaking of, pick up this week's Nashville Rage (well...last weeks...) if you haven't already. "41 local acts you should know" There's some good stuff there.
Keep an eye out for shows and leave some love for my stressful 48 hours. Next thing you know, it'll be summer and it'll be shows every night. gah i love summer!
I miss you all and I can't wait to get to dive back into the scene for you!

Maymester!
Hey you scenesters-
I'm taking classes at MTSU till June 2. Music as Popular Culture and Soundtrack Design *drool.* Anyway, the recommmended course load is four credit hours and I'm taking six. Needless to say, I've been a bit busy. And apparently some of my May posts disappeared into the great worldwide.entangled.web. I promise I will get back to you lovely readers when I get the chance (maybe even tonight after I finish my analytical paper of Live's 1994 Throwing Copper album. Keep rocking and if you've got some cool news, pictures, or other fun Nashville music tidbits, email me here.

So sorry for the hiatus!
Hello all you faithful Nashville scenesters-
I have to heartily apologize for dropping off the face of the earth for the last couple of weeks. Unfortunately, that is the way school goes. Things get crazy at the end of the semester and you just gotta hold on tight to have a prayer of getting through. But enough about me and my struggles with finals for the next ten days or so. There have been some awesome shows since we last talked. Rites of Spring was this past weekend. If you have photos, please submit them to be posted. Also I made an appearance at the Muse last weekend to see Charlie Roberts wowing his loyal followers. I'm not joking when I say that one lady in attendence claimed she thought she was witnessing some kind of holy experience. It was a good show and fun was had by all.
As spring (or summer as you might call it in middle Tennessee) gets cranking there are all kinds of shows going on. Here's a rundown of some of the good stuff coming up. Just a reminder, if you've got shows you want to publicize, let me know and I'll get it up here ASAP.
Great Big Shows will be sponsoring an even bigger show at Exit/In tomorrow, Tuesday, April 25, with Flickerstick, Actress, and The Cry Room.
James Moore will spread the love on Wednesday, April 26 @ Caffeine. Grab a cup of java and enjoy what this up-and-comer has got to show. Before I forget to mention it, he will also be playing at May 3 at the Bluebird and May 13 at Cafe Coco. Both yummy venues with even yummier music.
Doghouse Record stars Cruiserweight and Feable Weiner will be kicking off their "TOUR OF THE YEAR" on Thursday, April 27 at The End on Elliston Place. If you can't make that show, they will be swinging thru Murfreesboro on May 26 at Wallstreet. But more on that as it gets closer. In the meantime, if you want to leave a message for the FW boys, you can call their hotline at 615-424-7070.
Thursday will also be the night that Rosco will be playing a show at 12 and Porter. Go enjoy some rocking tunes in one of the chillest bars in Nashville.
On Friday, April 28 Cottrell Grant will be playing the 5 spot with Phoenix Rising and Honeysuckle. 18+, $5.
If you need your punk rock dosage for the month, check out Punk Rock Party Number 10 at The Muse on Saturday, April 29. Two Atlanta bands will join Nashville's own Off Duty Ninjas and The Wombats. Yummy.
Charlie Roberts will grace the Muse with his "ProEx" bass playing. Gotta check him out if you haven't already. Wednesday May 3. All Ages. $5
Don't forget, They Might Be Giants will be playing City Hall on May 5. I will do my best to be there (I gotta get out of working a track meet...). The last two times I've seen them in Nashville have been AWESOME. Definitely a live show you do not want to miss.
A band who I never thought I would see play the Muse again, Ethan Swim will be playing there on Sunday, May 7. It shall be a show to remember for sure.
Shirock will be playing Exit/In on Tuesday, May 9. I really am going to try to make it out to this show because Shirock is one of those bands that will recreate some kind of religious experience at Exit/In...seriously. Go see this because it will change your life.
May 18 means The Worsties will be hitting up Cafe Coco acoustic style. Don't know their stuff yet? Go see them on May 13 at Windows on the Cumberland. You will certainly be pleased with the besties from the Worsties!
Free music!
Fellow MTSU student Backseat Goodbye is offering an acoustic EP for free download at Purevolume. Go take a listen and spread the word.
(Not) Free music! But well worth the price!
Sean McConnell has just released his new album, "Cold Black Sky" which can be purchased from one of my favorite online retailers CDBaby.com. This album will only make your CD collection all the more credible in my books.
I think that's all I've got to say for now. Got something to add? Post a comment or email me. I like mail and more importantly, I like what you've got to say.

Uber-stressed
Hey loyal readers and scenesters--
Bad news for the short term: It's the end of the semester and I am so stressed it's not even funny. I have SO much work to do over the course of the next two weeks that I don't think I'm going to have time to update this baby. So, if you've got a show or something to say, post a comment and we'll all check those regularly.
I should be back around April 24 or so.
Alas, this is the joys of being in school. Some weeks just royally suck. Keep rocking out and send me pictures of what's going on out there.
And something else: My thoughts and prayers are with all the tornado victims.

The tornado sirens are going off!
Rutherford County is under a tornado warning...which means...our tornado sirens are going off! Which means, i can't leave my apartment quite yet to go home, so you, the local music scenesters get an update. Lucky you! ;)
Tin Pan South is taking over the city as we speak. There are many great singer-songwriters in all the clubs. The up-and-comers and the oldies. See their website for a full listing of shows or see the ad in this week's Nashville Scene.
Saturday, April 1:
It's no April Fools joke, there are many good shows...here's a sampling.
Hot off the New Orleans presses (thanks Stephen Kraft!), Frogs Gone Fishin', Lost Dog, Indicia, Angus White & The Irish Redneckers, and The Zoo will be playing at Centennial Park. Pretty park and pretty music. Good combo. 11 am.
If you are looking for some synth pop April Fools fun, go see How I Became the Bomb, Girls and Boys and Masa @ The Basement. 9pm.
Born Empty will rock The End with Prom Night, Crank Sinatra, and The Vindicates (all great band names in my opinion.) Born Empty puts on one of the best live shows of all the bands out there. $5. 9 pm.
Finally, The Carter Administration will be playing @ 3 Crow Bar at 9:30 p.m. with the Clutters. $5.
Just another announcement that I am super excited about, They Might Be Giants will be playing City Hall on May 5 (the day after my THREE finals...). They always play good stuff, and TMBG noted on their website that their last visit to Nashville for the short-lived Sobro Summer Nights was one of the best shows of their summer tour, (despite the guy who rushed the stage *rolls eyes*).
If you've got shows, photos, or any other requests of such that you would like for me to post, let me know. indiequeen4011 [at] yahoo [dot] com.
ps. thanks to NashvilleZine for the IM love ;).

I put my shirt on backwards today.
In all my multi-tasking glory, I managed to put my t-shirt on backwards this morning. I have a hoodie on over it, but I am sitting in the office today and something keeps itching at my neck. Yep...it's the tag.

Luckily there is some good music out there. Don't forget Daylight Savings starts on Sunday morning so spring forward!
And now to the shows:

Lovelife will be rocking out at the Muse.
Labeling Deloris will be hitting The End stage with The Hollywood Kills, Nick Edelstein and The Remedy at 9 pm.

Want to see the latest in high school talent? Hume-Fogg will be hosting their annual battle of the bands. 6 pm. $5 @ Hume-Fogg (on Broadway)
That's what I got for now. If you have a show to post, let me know!

It just ain't right.
Sadly, Nashville music site Nashvillezine.com will be shutting down. I wish it were some cruel early April Fools joke, but it's not. You shall be missed!
Good news? This weekend there were many good shows. If you've got photos or reviews, feel free to swing me an email and let me know.
I personally made an appearance at the lowercase collective/dan matthews show at 12th and Porter Thursday night. Although I dragged my slow self in a few minutes late, I was still impressed by the indie prog-rock played by lowercase collective. If the music didn't get you, the multimedia presentation sure did. With lyrical quotes between songs and a barrage of visual candy, I left the show feeling both entertained and sensationally pleased.
Dan Mathews followed up with an impressive set. Mathews' piano and musical skills were more than impressive and his band's musicianship completed the picture perfectly. Their music was eclectic. Some blues riffs, some classical work, and some straight up college rock. I'll be interested to see what else we see of this Belmont student in the future. What I'd like to see: Dan Mathews perform with band on a real live piano. His keys work was great, but I think the emotion of his music would hit home more of I heard it Ben Folds style on the REAL keys. I know, you can't lug a baby grand to every performance if you aren't Ben Folds. But Mr. Mathews, when you do hit the ivory, let me know.
Each have upcoming performances:
Dan Mathews will be playing on March 29 @ Windows on the Cumberland with the Reed Pittman Band.
Lowercase collective will be playing at local music lover The Basement on March 22 with Sleeptalker, Gracer, and Your Black Star. Also, they will be playing in the final round of audience-voting Emergenza Festival @ The Exit/In on March 29. Go see and vote for lowercase and The Roman Empire. After this round, it's all up to the judges, so don't miss the chance to cast your vote!
Other shows for the week will be posted later this week. I've got schoolwork out the wazoo and a business plan to halfway complete.
Keep rocking.
