1. Ray Davies @ City Hall, Nashville
| 03.14.06
Unfortunately, that show was the
day before many of Nashville's
coolest people were leaving for SXSW in Austin,
so there was not as much of a crowd as there should have been. What an amazing
show anyway. He did "Johnny Thunder," "I'm Not Like Anybody Else," and many
more, plus he balanced a bottle of Yazoo Pale Ale on his head.
2. The Sadies @ Mercy Lounge,
Nashville | 10.01.06
Another show where I wish there
would've been more people there. I've been waiting three years for them to come
back to town and they played with Heavy Trash: Matt Verta Ray and Jon Spencer.
Much dancing happened.
3. James Hunter @ Miller Lite
Cannery Row Revival, Nashville
| 09.21.06
This was another night to dance
until you got all sweaty. I wish he would play here more often.
4. Mooney Suzuki/The
Woggles/The Zombies @ City Hall, Nashville
| 09.29.06
My favorite parts of the show
was when the Mooney boys came out in drag to gogo dance for the Woggles, and
when the Zombies played, all the bands became instant rock nerds, worshipping
at the altar of Rod Argent.
5. The Dirtbombs on a boat in
NYC sometime this past summer.
Once again, another night of fun
and merriment.

7. Scott Miller @ Mucklewain
| 08.19.06
The most efficiently organized
music festival I've ever been to.
8. Gomez & Magic Numbers
@ 3rd & Lindsley, Nashville
| 06.18.06
If they were still tired from
playing Bonnaroo, I couldn't tell. Lots of energy and Gomez cracking up about
"monkey piss."
9. Arch Hall Jr. & Roy
Head @ Ponderosa Stomp, Memphis
| 05.08.06
Arch Hall was surprised that
people even cared to see him play. There were so many cool garage/rockabilly
and R&B bands playing and $2 beer, as well. I saw quite a few Nashvegans
there, too.
10. The Romantics @ Exit In, Nashville

They've still got it! | Angie
