We Own This Town – Volume 64

It’s back! After uploading 63 previous episodes I felt inspired to make another installation. I mean, who ends on 63 iterations of something? It’s insanity. I wouldn’t call this a “Best Of” but it certain culls many of my favorites from the huge gap between episodes. Whatever it is, it’s 40 minutes of enjoyable Nashville music.

  1. Ben Spinks Supermelt – D
  2. Tower Defense – The Actor
  3. Jasmin Kaset – Porno Mtn
  4. The By Gods – Endless Bummer
  5. Majestico – Gimme Love
  6. Codaphonic – Oh Radio!
  7. Gay Vibes – Cowboys on Ice
  8. Toadies II – Good Boy
  9. *repeat repeat – Not the One
  10. Echo Group – Farewell
  11. Jordan Lehning – Nobody’s Home
  12. Steelism – China Plate
  13. Evan P Donohue – Felix

Litton Lions – War and Peace

Recorded in 2010 and released, now, the debut album from Litton Lions is a pleasant grouping of melancholy pop gems. The vocal stylings of Jerry Campbell are very distinct and a welcome return as I haven’t heard them around since the last Millionaire Magicians release. 

This release may just be a one-off but it’s seven great songs the world didn’t have previously.

Date Night – Rough Demo

Don’t do that to yourself Date Night. These three songs may not be as polished as your brain imagined but the rough-around-the-edges performance, visceral energy and enjoying-yourself feeling that comes from the recordings is really working. Maybe they are demo’s but let’s not call them rough.

Heads up. You now have plans for February 13th. 

Black Static Line – Enil

Though it’s self-described as ambient, the latest from Black Static Line, Enil, is much more immersive and captivating than such a label would lead you to believe. Ambience infers a general vibe or atmosphere created by a particular work – which is true here – but their longform soundscapes demand more attention than just a background feeling. There’s a serious shoegaze and post-rock vibe happening here, particularly with tracks like “Vendue." 

I can imagine seeing this live is ear-splitting loud and completely encompassing. Just how you should listen to the record, loud.

Cannery Ballroom, Nashville, TN. More here.

For a tribute band, this sure does look like a real deal rock show. ;)

We Own This Town Archive now on Mixcloud.

Over the break I happily finished archiving all of the previous We Own This Town podcasts over to a Mixcloud account. You can now hear 63 installments of local rock, folk, electronic and other odds and ends ranging back to September 2005. Granted, there’s a little bit of a void after May 2013 but a good time capsule is a good time capsule.. and I’m confident this is a helluva time capsule.

The other upside to this is that I can’t end making podcasts on 63 – that’s just too odd of a number. Expect more! 

Battlepod #8

I love the Battle Tapes Christmas podcast, Battlepod. This years edition – featuring Tristen and Hands Down Eugene – is no different. Great music and amusing interstitial’s, what more do you need?

SEXX – SEXXMAS

Atypical Christmas songs are always a treat this time of year. SEXX put together these two tracks for a snarly, punk-infused, good time. I love hearing a chant proclaiming the immortality of Santa Claus – fine words to remember this time of year.
