There’s a new Daytrotter session up with Brenden Benson, complete with a pretty solid (if pitchy) cover of Superdrag’s 1996 hit “Sucked Out”. Man, I love me some good local-on-local action. Now if only those Daytrotter boys would release that second Superdrag session from last year…

The physical release isn’t set until November 3rd but Brooke Waggoner‘s new album Go Easy Little Doves is available today (Tuesday the 6th) digitally. Hit up your preferred e-retailer and you should be able to drum it up. Download the track “Chromates Soft Love” below for a taste of what the album has in store for you. View more details on the release here or visit her official site for additional insight and tour dates (though none of which are in Nashville).

Rock Sellout has a pretty length interview up with Raul Panther, frontman for the Protomen. According to the bands Wikipedia page the band rarely gives interviews out of character (though I did not verify that information) so it’s a refreshingly candid take on the band, their nicknames, their origins, their recording process and their devoted fans.

Once upon a time a roommate asked me if Dan Deacon could play a house party at our place and I respectfully declined. Not that I wasn’t into his dance-y, glitch-y, geeky tunes but I just couldn’t imagine the pandemonium that would take place during and after the performance. Fortunately he’s playing tonight at The End (along with Nuclear Power Pants, Daniel Pujol and Totally Michael) and I’m sure it will be an evening of epic proportions.
