Happy weekend! What a beautiful week it has been (except for the whole getting up early to go to work thing, but on a week like this...it's actually okay). Unfortunately we are due for some rain, but don't let that spoil your weekend fun.

This is one hell of a rock & roll weekend! And Earth Day none to less! I have to say that I am pretty thrilled about the Rites of Spring lineup. I am not, however, thrilled about tonight's weather forecast...

On Sunday you can check out the 4/20 Film Fest presented by NORML. They'll be playing Reefer Madness, Grass, Busted (a 1 hr PBS Frontline special) and the world premier of Super High Me. The cost is $20 for one or all of the films and they are getting started at the appropriate time of 4:20 p.m.

Hot Nashville Music Sales of the Week

Because of a website snafu we haven't had Grimey's list in two week but we're back. I'm happy to say one of our favorite artists De Novo Dahl is on the list. If you want a sample of their music check out the Nashville Feed podcast episode 2 for which we were lucky enough to have two songs on from the Cats and Kittens album. Also I'm happy to say that every artist on the list is available for download in the Amazon MP3 DRM free store which means I don't have to add separate links to downloads. The digital downloads work with any MP3 player including iTunes and usually cost several dollars less than the CD version. Meaning if your not sure of an artist to pay full price for the CD you can dip in one single at a time. Enjoy and support our local record retailer.

Grimey's Best Sellers for April 4 - 13, 2008

1. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Dig Lazarus Dig!!!
2. The Black Keys - Attack & Release
3. The Raconteurs - Consolers Of The Lonely
4. De Novo Dahl - Move Every Muscle, Make Every Noise
5. The Breeders - Mountain Battles
6. R.E.M. - Accelerate
7. Fleet Foxes - Sun Giant EP
8. Sun Kil Moon - April
9. She & Him - Volume One
10. Colin Meloy - Sings Live

We only list the top 10 for the rest of the top 50 visit Grimeys.com. (Please note that Amazon.com links are provided for those not in Nashville, if Grimeys had an online store we would link there.)

Get out and have fun! Be safe!

I’ve been slacking on the site and podcast lately people. My free time seems to be short for writing and podcasting. Today I found out a friend of mine who also is a well respected musician and industry leader has his own podcast. He only has a few podcasts up but he is really in tune with music and not just Nashville. I’ve listened to them and really dig what he’s doing. Maybe I can talk him into guess DJing some of the Nashville Feed podcasts. Until then go and enjoy “Music I’m Diggin On Podcast” with Justin Levenson.
