My favorite things about summer: Cabrewing on the piney river. Hanging out with no shirt. Riding motorcycles through the hot night!

Let's Get it On - Marvin Gaye

Let It Out - The Hombres

Groovin' - Booker T and the MGs

Pusherman - Curtis Mayfield

Strawberry Letter no. 23- Shuggie Otis

Every Friday night at Foobar in Nashville get your sexy on with Sparkle City!

I have a feeling JEFF's new album Hypnotic Nights is going to be in constant rotation for everyone this summer. There is nothing I can say about this band that I haven't already said in the past. Love these dudes.

I Don't Need Your Tas-T

I think it's high time I made a new post for anyone out there that is still checking this...

Erm, so I guess you want to know the recent happenings with me? The two latest things for me has been going to Nashville and like I stated in a previous post, being in the ISM Community book Still Developing (which you should buy, just saying). Some awesome people that I am grateful to call some of them my friends are in it! Matt Maust, Matt Wignall, Zoe Raquel, Kevin Staniec and Zoe Anastasia all have contributed. Then their is the lovely Giuliana Petoia who graces the cover! The photo was taken by the genius Matt Wignall.

Anyways, I went to Nashville for a week towards the end of December until the beginning of January. I had a rather good time, I don't know what I was expecting but it was completely different than I had imagined. I caught a lot of good bands, hung with friends and met some awesome new people as well. Everyone is so nice there! I suppose it's that southern hospitality for you.

Alright, time for an overload of photos. I tried just to pick my favorites but I am so damn indecisive. Other photos included are by Bekah Cope.

Vibe on this until then.

"Blueberry Hill" - Fats Domino

*oh, so I may or may not be moving to Nashville for the summer before moving to NYC full time. Just thought I would slide that in there...Portland was in the running for a while until I realized it would be a bitch moving all my stuff from Portland to NYC...
