Brick and Mortar and Love

Posted Thu March 29, 2012

The above trailer is for the documentary Brick and Mortar and Love, a look at story of Louisville, KY’s ear X-tacy record store and, more broadly, the state of the Independent Record Store in today’s digital download culture. Watch through the footage above and you’ll see Chuck D from his Record Store Day appearance at Grimey’s, as well as Grimey’s co-owner, Doyle Davis, speaking on the state of things.

If you’re curious to see the whole thing you’ll have your chance when it premieres at the 2012 Nashville Film Festival.

Makeup and Vanity Set teamed up with filmmakers Joey Ciccoline and Sean Wilson, as well as design aficionados Version Industries to create a nice teaser package for both the forthcoming film, 88:88 and his accompanying soundtrack. The free Bandcamp download gets you a double teaser – one song from the soundtrack and the teaser trailer for the film. Each will properly whet the appetite for more from both.

The Guardian + The Garages of East Nashville

Posted Mon March 26, 2012

On Saturday, The Guardian ran a great article on Why the garages of East Nashville are now American rock’s hottest property. It focuses on the likes of PUJOL, JEFF the Brotherhood, Battle Tapes, D. Watusi, Nashville’s Dead and a host of other bands. As with any article about the town you reside in, it doesn’t tell you a whole lot you don’t already know. However, it does a great job of exposing a deserving facet of our fine music scene to a wider audience and that’s always good. Read it, if not just to confirm you live in a great place but to fully appreciate the All Star Photo that goes along with it from Jo McCaughey.
