I’m not sure if you know this, but…

…Nashville is kind of known for being a pretty good music town. Yeah, maybe you had heard but I wasn’t sure so I thought it was worth mentioning. Anyway, being fortunate enough to live here, I have the opportunity to feed my live music habit pretty hard over the next couple of months. Shows I’ll definitely be attending between now and the end of the year include, *but are not limited to:
- Modest Mouse w/ Band of Horses @ The Ryman - 8.22.07
- Ben Kweller @ Exit/In - 8.24.07
- Interpol @ The Ryman - 9.22.07
- Kings of Leon w/ Black Rebel Motorcycle Club @ The Ryman - 10.18.07
- Spoon @ Cannery Ballroom (Mercy Lounge) - 10.26.07
- Smashing Pumpkins @ The Ryman - 11.5.07
So far my wife is being very supportive. It absolutely helps that A) I’ve never had a stretch of shows like this in my life, B) I have a pretty big birthday (30) coming up in October and C) I’m a great husband and father (at least that’s what she tells me).
*God help me if Wilco, Arcade Fire or Ryan Adams decide to add a Nashville date this Fall. That conversation wouldn’t be pretty, but it’s not like I’d really have a choice, right? I’d have to go to them all. Seriously.
So what about you? Any good shows coming up that you’re really looking forward to?

[…] me a little because I’m so ga ga (no pun intended) over this new Spoon album. Hmmm… Spoon is coming to town in October. I wonder if HIBTB shows up with their rumble clothes on? Maybe Spoon calls the boys from the […]
