Matt and Mickey take on Burger Week with mixed results and then tackle the oft-maligned Downtown scene with surprisingly pleasant results.

Volume 113

The one with no script but tons of great music. The range of genres and styles that Nashville has been delivering lately has been excellent.

Z – “456”

Z is, as far as I can tell, the new project from Mom & Dad’s Zach Prosser. Their Instagram has only a handful of posts and a Bandcamp account has two songs posted from late in 2017. All that is to say, it feels pretty new. The Window Light Show video for “456” starts with […]
