From Cory Branan’s people:
We’ve decided to add a last minute show as Cory passes back through Nashville b/c his set at the Next Big Nashville was a short one. So tomorrow night at the 5 Spot in East Nashville come out to see Cory’s friends the Magpies play at around 11pm and when they finish up Cory will hit the stage. You should pay the $5 to comes see the Magpies, but we won’t be charging a cover late night for Cory. This show should go pretty late, so if you are going to see the Avett Brothers at War Memorial or our friends Ballhog! down at the Basement, you should stop by on your way home.
We HCT girls say: Yes, come down!! Don’t miss the Magpies, it’ll be an excellent show, now with the added bonus of Cory!!

Under a magnificent, sprawling tree, there is an unusual house on a mysterious street in Nashville. On this funny little street the weather is never quite like it is in the surrounding neighborhood, sun shines through rain clouds and snow falls from the clear blue sky, sometimes only on the extraordinary little house. The light there, day, night or dawn, always seems slightly purple. The grass is scraggly and pathetic but gigantic flowers bloom all around. In this house lives a mysterious little family, The Joiners. Does the odd little house on the peculiar little street make the Joiners different from everyday people, or is it the Joiners that make the street strange?

Posted in a little bit rock and roll, east nashville, some albums we done liked others we ain't - September 18th, 2008 at 10:06 am by Cricket
I’ve been resisting the Men of Action. The album has been gathering dust on my desk ever since I got a pre-pre-pre-release copy of it. You see, these boys are friends of mine. I like them, they are good guys and I respect them as musicians. I’ve seen them do some good rock n’ roll. I have confidence in their ability as songwriters. And yet, some part of me was worried that this album would suck. And then where would I be? If it sucked I couldn’t tell them and I’d have to go around making excuses to why I’d never reviewed it. Imagine my relief when I finally played Country for Groovers and discovered that it is awesomeness made manifest! Hurrah!

Daisy and I boldly braved predictions of flash flooding to drive the long, desolate hours to Batesville, Arkansas for the Lucero Family Picnic. It was worth it. So worth it. First off, before I tell you about the show, let me fill you in on the news we gleaned while there:
As many of you maybe know already, Lucero’s Brian Venable is expecting his first child any day now. He was primed to leave, even mid-show, should his lovely lady, Sam, have gone into labor. We saw ultrasound pictures of Henry, the boy they are expecting to join their family soon. So everyone keep them in your thoughts for an easy delivery. I know Brian can’t wait to meet Henry (we can’t either!). Seriously, if every expectant father was as happy as Brian appears to be, the world would be a much, much better place. [It really is just about the sweetest thing ever how excited he is.—Daisy]
