I am flying back from Nashville today and heading straight over to the Little Joy to DJ a Country set. Come join me for a drink and make fun of my Southern drawl that has inevitably creeped back out after years of California forcing it into submission! 10:30 pm ish on.

Slow Runner has given us not one, but two very special lists. First up, we have their "Top Five Reasons to Hammer Ice Picks Into Your Eardrums and Forgo the Privilege of Hearing." All I can say is... poor Reba McIntyre. BUT WAIT! Before you brutally ruin one of your senses forever, the Charleston, South Carolina band has also provided us with an anecdote: The "Top Five Reasons To Stop Yourself ...

Doc WatsonWe wandered over to downtown Bristol around noon and from that moment on we were literally planted in front of bands for about ten hours straight (and we still didn't get to see about half of the bands that we wanted to see). This festival really did pull in the cream of the bluegrass/classic country-esque crop and I just want to say thanks to Eric and all of the organizers for putti...

The Morning PagesWe arrived in Bristol yesterday afternoon and ran right over to the festival, which is held at all of the bars and restuarants along State Street in the downtown area (think of a mini version of SXSW and 6th Street). Crazy thing is one side of the street is Tennessee and the other side is Virginia. Check out the Morning Pages above straddling the state line. We got there just i...

The week's Mixin With Mixtape comes to us from the Mooney Suzuki's very own lead singer, Sammy James, Jr. We've actually been holding on to this gem for a few months now because even with a group of hardened Dead Heads in the ole rolodex, we couldn't get our hands on the rare Grateful Dead track. But...we finally succeeded! So, it is our distinct pleasure to finally present to you in it's entir...

We still have yet to see the Hymns live and it pains us greatly. Good thing they will be heading through Los Angeles on October 20th with the MTV Choose or Lose tour.
