Some Exciting News From Nashville: Jersey Shore Edition


Oh sorry, I didn't notice you. I was rubbing suntan oil on this Boys Noize 12"

When I first moved here, I was excited to explore and understand the music/dance scene. Like, do people out here know how to dance without forming in a line and doing synchronized moves while the music tells them how to perform those moves? What exactly is a honky-tonk and do they allow black people? And where can I buy rhinestone-studded mudflaps?

I've been out and about for around 3 months, and my thoughts on the "scene" here are probably for another time and another blog. Let's just say so many bands have skipped over this town, I was genuinely shocked to find out Girls decided to schedule a date here (after they had made their tour schedule, too). Anyway, to sum it up, I've been a little frustrated with what Nashville has to offer in terms of music I like and want to see live.

That was, until I found out this was happening.

That's right, Pauly D AKA DJ Pauly D AKA The Man with the Tan has decided to grace us with his presence right here in Nashville downtown at McFaddens in 2 weeks. If you haven't seen the Jersey Shore, then you probably are trying to detect if there is hidden sarcasm in my writing. THERE IS NOT. I will firmly stand behind the statement The Jersey Shore is the greatest show about New Jersey since The Sopranos without a smirk, and also say that during the episode where Pauly D "Rocked it on the 1's and 2's" at club Karma was fantastic. I couldn't help but pound on my hardwood floor to the kick-drum crescendo he dropped before doing a few flip kicks and fist pumps. Thoroughly stoked for his arrival.
