In celebration of the forthcoming Next Big Nashville showcase sponsored by Lake Fever Sessions (and Nashville Cream) it seemed like an appropriate time to theme a podcast around the fine local offerings that the sessions have brought forth. It’s pretty simple, the Lake Fever Sessions are consistently great and playing them back in a convenient podcast format is a no brainer. We’re even taking things one step further with this podcast and offering a zip file of the individual tracks – so if you just want to hear that one Hotpipes cover over and over again, you can easily make that happen.

So, by all means, please download the podcast in your preferred format (or stream it from the link on the left), remember to come out to the showcase and thank the video and audio team from Lake Fever Sessions for all their hard work.

• 2. Hotpipes – "Respectable Street (XTC)"
• 3. And The Relatives – "The Ledge (Fleetwood Mac)"

There are many good things happening in Nashville; across many genres. Often it’s best to theme a podcast towards a specific genre but with so much going on at the moment expect more eclectic playlists. This twenty-sixth podcast installment is one such example – from the Animal Collective-y vibe of Tallest Trees to the straightahead pop of The Nobility or the orchestrated sounds of the Kopecky Family Band we’re trying to cover it all. Download the podcast with the links above or stream it here.

The very first We Own This Town podcast was kicked off by Ole Mossy Face and it only makes sense that the 25th installment of the podcast should be devoted to the Trey Deuce Club. While, musically, it’s a bit heavier leaning on the Americana and Western influenced stylings than the typical podcast fair it is the perfect embodiment of the mindset we love to see in the Nashville area. The Trey Deuce Club itself is a collective of musicians all writing together, playing in each others projects and cultivating support in general. Musicians making music together for the sake of making music; with a great community being created as a byproduct.

If you’re into what you’re hearing on this edition of the podcast be sure to drop by The 5 Spot on Friday (August 7th) to celebrate the release of the the Trey Deuce Club Vol. II compilation – featuring lots of new music from all of these artists. This podcast serves as an overview of some of the best of what they have to offer, the new compilation lets you in on the latest and greatest.

• 1. Sad Apartment – "Rock and Roll Waterfall" Panasonic
• 2. Ole Mossy Face – "Born Late" Unreleased
• 3. Hands Down Eugene – "Field of Vengeance" Unreleased
• 4. Spiritual Family Reunion – "Manchester Legs" Goodbye Ceremony
• 5. D. Striker – "Officer of Love" I Can Handle It
• 6. Duraluxe – "Phantom Power" The Suitecase

Finding artists for these podcasts can sometimes be a laborious task – as I prefer to include artists that have additional materials beyond the one included track that is worth checking out. Cherry picking one good song here and there would be much easier but it’s always a bummer to dive further into a newly discovered artists catalog of works just to discover that you’ve already heard their best (and possibly only worthwhile) offering. All that being said, I’ve done my best to vet each of these artists beyond just the one song and I’m happy to report they hold up.

Enjoy the podcast and, by all means, investigate more on each of these offerings.

• 1. Quiet Entertainer – "False Alarm" Machismo
• 2. Telecommunicators – "Pandora" Dasein
• 3. How I Became the Bomb – "Harvest" Through Adversity to the Stars
• 4. This Modern Station – "Long Over Due" All We Leave Behind
• 5. The Comfies – "Cool Cool Spring" The Comfies Present: Benjamin A. Harper in This Ship Is Going Down
• 6. The Champion and His Burning Flame – "Song & Film" Song & Film
• 7. Happy Box – "Hero Song" Happy Box
• 8. Duraluxe – "Underground Railroad" Duraluxe III

A little late on delivering this one (according to the self imposed “every three weeks” rule) but it’s chalk full of good stuff. Several new acts introduced here that you should check out (Milktooth, Bows and Arrows, The Lake, Paper Navy) and serious goodness from artists you should already love (Cortney Tidwell, Ole Mossy Face, Codaphonic, Hands Down Eugene).

Overall my personal opinion on this one is – worth multiple listens and digging a little deeper to hear even more.

Enjoy the podcast…

• 1. Cortney Tidwell – “17 Horses” Boys
• 2. Milktooth – "The Serving Plate" Milktooth EP
• 3. Bows and Arrows – "Carbon" 1010 Eaton Street
• 4. The Lake – "I’m So Sick of the End of the World" Have A Kick Ass Summer
• 5. Ole Mossy Face – "Up the Partition" Up the Partition / Elephant Song

• 7. Paper Navy – "I Can’t Read" All Grown Up
• 8. Hands Down Eugene – "Black Journal (Acoustic)" Demos

This podcast makes an attempt to focus on some straightforward Rock bands around town. Nashville has no shortage of said genre of band but it’s getting increasingly difficult to be a compelling rock band these days. The bands included in this iteration are either doing some great, showing promise to do something great or just doing something already established really well. I’ll let you decide which is which.

Notes for listening:

• DPaul does not fit under the large umbrella of “rock” but it still needs to be heard.
• Dewey Decibel is more of what I’d call an “indie” outfit but that term is somehow more broad than “rock” so it’s an either/or type of situation.

Enjoy the podcast…

• 1. DPAUL – “Go To Sleep” Unreleased
• 2. Dewey Decibel – "Ice Farmer" The Dusting
• 3. Mean Tambourines – "Operator (unmastered)" War
• 4. Bad Cop – "Big City, Small Town" Demos
• 5. Kintaro – "Drag" Power Love
• 6. Cactus’s – "Perverted Shark" Tropical Terror
• 6. The Tits – "(All I Do Is) Rock N’ Roll" Jesus Says Relax
• 6. Short Ropes – "Refugee" Demos

There is no single person that better embodies “owning” this town more than Aaron Hartley, the man behind Theory 8 Records. To look at the roster of artists and catalog of releases from the label it would seem that he basically has a monopoly on the quality Nashville music. Obviously, there are loads of other great acts in town but Theory 8 never falters; every release is quality.

This podcast features six Theory 8 artists (some of which fall under the Management umbrella of the business) and it’s a satisfying listen from top to bottom. We’re also rather happy to have two exclusives – one from the forthcoming Shoot the Mountain EP and one from Eliza the Arrow, the new project from Elizabeth Cameron (best known for Forget Cassettes).

Enjoy the podcast, it’s hard not to.

• 1. Caitlin Rose – "Shotgun Wedding"Gorilla Man 7″
• 2. Shoot the Mountain – "Invitation"Forthcoming EP
• 3. The Privates – "I’ll Be Honest"Motion
• 4. Protomen – "Father of Death"Act II 7″
• 5. Eliza the Arrow – "Toast the Tiger"Forthcoming LP
• 6. The Winter Sounds – "O’Fear"Church of the Haunted South

This may be our most pertinently timed podcast to date. The majority of artists featured here either have releases coming out very soon or just released something quite recently. Those that don’t fall into those two categories, well they’re quality songs as well.

A new year, a new podcast. With multiple contributors now submitting tracks the overall playtime will probably increase just a bit. Instead of twenty minutes, expect more like thirty. That being said, this edition of the We Own This Town podcast is 34 minutes long and features some great new stuff from around town and some overlooked stuff from 2008 worth mentioning.

Volume 19 is right around the corner but this (and Joe’s new radio show) should satisfy your need for new Nashville music goodness.
