Kat Brock – Pink Room
Pink Room
Digital Download
Pink Room is an album of quick-and-dirty takes on a number of songs being fleshed out for the proper Kat Brock full-length Fall. You may recognize her voice from By Lightning (or, if you've been around for awhile - Dixie Dirt). The album is subdued, introspective and carries plenty of emotion but it's never contrived due to the nature of her delivery and infectious sound of her voice. You've heard two of the tracks from her previously released videos. It's kind of the perfect companion for these cold days when all you want to do is sit inside.

Uncle Skeleton – “Sophisticuffs”
"Sophisticuffs" single
Free Download
As you may know, not only do I haphazardly curate We Own This Town but I also put out some records from time to time as yk records. So, in the spirit of full disclosure, let it be known that this new digital single from Uncle Skeleton is being released under my umbrella and I'm entirely biased as to how great I think it sounds. Granted, it's not indie or garage rock - it's electronic music that is upbeat, dance-y, orchestral and even the tiniest bit melancholy (if we're talking undertones here) but don't let that dissuade you.
We threw in a remix from Burgers, a live rehearsal outtake of the song and a somewhat scary b-side (sorta). It's all free for the exchange of an email address - so, please, go get it and then come out to the show tonight at Mercy Lounge.

What Up, English – Das Scuba
Das Scuba
I can only assume you saw the fun video posted on The Cream yesterday from new-to-me locals What Up, English. If not, go watch it not. It's a nice preview of what to expect from their next EP. If you've already caught it, give a listen to their already released EP Das Scuba.

Thoughts from a Music Critic
Over at Quiet Entertainer there's a great interview with local music critic, literary scribe, comedian, professional drinker, etc. Sean Maloney. His insight is into the local scene has the kind of honesty and to-the-pointness that you have only in private conversation but wish was spoken of publicly more often. Example:
QE: What’s your best advice to an artist trying to get press coverage or trying to get on your radar?I enjoy any interview that both throws down the gauntlet for making good art and makes any mention of "meta-data." Good stuff, go read it all.
SM: Don’t be a dick. Get your shit together. Work hard on the art of music and don’t try to impress me with you tangential knowledge of marketing lingo. Nobody gives a fuck about your “brand”, just concentrate on making good records. Make sure your links work and your meta-data is complete. Don’t expect a response. Don’t let that discourage you. Go to shows, all the fucking time. Talk to people, meet people. Stop spamming Twitter if you ain’t gonna show up when it counts.

Browsing Bandcamp
Whenever I'm looking to put together a new WOTT podcast I usually cruise around Bandcamp through anything tagged "Nashville". Most of the time I encounter a whole lot of terrible singer-songwriters, some underwhelming hip-hop, pop-punk (nuff said), metal that I don't know how to judge if it's good or bad and then some actual worthwhile tunes. Here's some of my latest discoveries... no full review for any of them because they're still settling in.
n o i posted some demo tracks that they never got around to mixing titled Demos That We Never Mixed. Even though they aren't entirely polished you can still get your post-rock, shoegaze-y, feedback, hardcore influenced fix.
I am very open about my ignorance of the Nashville hip-hop scene (I leave that insight to Mr. Maloney) but every new thing I've heard from Gummy Soul is great. Their latest offering, Time's Flying from Kurtis Stanley, was actually recorded in 2007 but they've recompiled, recut and streamlined the previous sessions into this goodness. Oh, and that cover art is brilliant.
The only thing I know about Charles Butler and his Terra Incognita Vol. 2 album is that it's labeled with the following tags: "acoustic, bluegrass, jazz, banjo, electronica, dobro, steel." As if that weren't a bizarre enough combination in and of itself he actually manages to deliver on all fronts. Did you know you could integrate traditional banjo sounds and still maintain being an 'electronica' song? You can. He does.

Blacktooth Sampler
I believe The Cream posted about this way back in 2011 but I'm just now getting around to really listening to this compilation from Blacktooth Records featuring the likes of Majestico, Ranch Ghost, Natalie Prass, Fly Golden Eagle, Chrome Pony, Hepatitties, James Wallace and The Phantom Farmer (a new endeavor from Joel McAnulty).

Weekend Goodness
If you hadn't noticed there is a lot going on this weekend. You really can't pick a bad destination. Personally, I'd suggest The Basement tonight for the Friday the 13th RR Party, Mercy Lounge tomorrow night for The Features / Evan P Donohue and again on Sunday for Akron/Family with James Wallace and The Naked Light. Sure, that Jessie Baylin show at 3rd and Lindsley looks tempting but I'm told James Wallace will have a seven person ensemble performing the greatness of More Strange News from Another Star - I wouldn't want to miss that.
Long story short, you're in for goodness no matter what you choose. Give your local booking agent a big pat on the back for making Nashville a city of choices; the best problem to have.
