A Tribute to Machines – Hot in the Maui: A Tribute to Jerry Campbell

I didn’t know the name Jerry Campbell until I stumbled across this tribute album featuring some WOTT favorites – Ryan Ervin, Todd Kemp, Matt Moody, Matt Mueller, etc etc. It’s a tribute in the truest sense – these players highly respect the creations of Campbell and are putting it on a pedestal to showcase just how good they believe it to be. My ignorance aside, a cursory listen will unveil this dedication to be completely sensible. This is pop rock with all the right combination of elements. I’m diving in knowing that I’ll emerge on the other side with a new favorite local talent.

Photo Ops Daytrotter Session

If you don’t have a Daytrotter account, it’s worth considering. You get access to a TON of content for not that much money. If you DO have an account, go snag the new Photo Ops session.

The Dozier Himself – “20 Minutes”

You know me, I know nothing of the hip-hop scene in town. I leave that to the pros. So, I don’t know anything of the story of The Dozier but this bass heavy track does reference Crash Bandicoot and have some interesting album art. With that in mind, I’m giving it a serious listen.

sugar sk*_*lls – intermission

I can’t begin to tell you how much I love that Sugar Sk*_*lls is a Nashville band. Living here it is tiresome to read press that points out we have more than Country Music but most people think all we have is country music. That being said, it’s unfair to like Sugar Sk*_*lls just because it’s Not Country. I’m enjoying it because it’s well done, somewhat spooky, somewhat dancey, 8-bit goodness.

Sugar Sk*_*lls = Intermission

I love Sugar Sk*_*lls for a variety of reason. First, it’s great that we have music like this emerging from Nashville. The outside world really does need reminding that we, as a city, are capable of a lot more than Country / SingerSongwriter tunes. Secondly, and most importantly, it’s quality 8-bit goodness with a bit of leaning on the spooky and the dancey. Also, I can’t not recommend anything tagged with crunkstep lazerblaps.
