I told the Deagol Brothers that I would post about this tomorrow but I really can’t contain my excitement for it any longer. The soundtrack for their film Make-Out with Violence is now available for purchase on their site. The 2-disc epic consists of 44 tracks and is actually twenty minutes longer than the actual film. The majority of the music was composed and performed by The Non-Commissioned Officers but also features The Glib, Leah High, Tristen, Amanda Crawford, The Ostrich Boys, and Vicki Mead.

2+ hours of music from one film may seem like a lot but having listened to it several times over already I can say that it’s not the least bit daunting, it’s actually entirely enjoyable from top to bottom – a testament to the Non-Comms writing and the effective eerie vibe of the film.

All that being said, I really can not recommend getting a copy soon enough. I’ve had a bootleg copy of a few of the tracks for a couple years and they’ve never left my regular rotation of music – I can’t imagine the full soundtrack making its way into the neglected pile anytime soon.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it seems that you may not be getting the maximum amount of enjoyment and information out of your Nashville based Internet browsing experience. That is to say, if you aren’t aware of Nashville Mix Tapes, you may very well be having a less-than-optimal time online. The website supposedly serves as a supplement to the Sunday night radio show on WRVU (7pm) but, as far as I can tell, stands on its own as an informative source of new and local music to partake in. Add to that the regular twitter posts going on from Nashville Mix Tapes curator Brandon and you’ve got yourself a well rounded, informative, enjoyable new Internet experience.

Theory 8 Records has announced that they will release the debut EP from Shoot The Mountain on May 16th. The band will celebrate said occasion with a show at The Basement along with Totally Snake and other special guests. Based on prior insight it’s safe to assume that the release will be comprised of recordings done at Battletapes – including “Zoo” and “Islands” (the demo of the former can be heard on WOTT #16).

More details will be included in the Upcoming Releases sidebar of this site as we find them out.
