Well, We Are In Nashville

Music Fog Truck The Music Fog rig rode through the night to Nashville, but not without stops along the way. With a diesel capacity of 38 gallons, only one stop was made for fuel.  All the others were “fluff” stops:

--Stop to play lottery scratch-off tickets in every state.  (We won 2 free tickets and $5.00).  Total investment - $145.00.

Beans Sunglasses --Stop for new girlie sunglasses for Beans after having the original pair sucked off his head in a mindless high speed videographer accident.

Chicken Truck --Stop to see a chicken truck driver stop his truck to go in and order a chicken sandwich. (It’s the equivalent of watching a Harley rider stop to eat a carburetor) True story.


Mini Graceland --Stop to visit “Mini Graceland” in Roanoke VA. It is the tragic brainchild of the Epperly family. (video to come shortly).

--Stop for steak tartar & foie gras at The Horizon Bar & Grill.  Don’t ask.

--Stop for “Gentleman’s Hospitality” at a place called The Mouse’s Ear.
 
--Stop for “spoon time” @ $35.00 a night somewhere east of Nashville at The Royal Inn (5 hours of shut eye in a smoking room).

--Stop for Waffle House “groceries."

Now, as we prepare for 4 solid days of filming and tomfoolery at the Americana Music Festival and Conference, the only chores left to accomplish are meeting the tour bus, pulling Jessie out of the Vortex, and picking up the now-infamous Music Fog gopher at the airport later this evening. Once Sheila is in the pocket, the games can officially begin.

Aaron has mentioned something about “drowning a muskrat in the toilet” later today so we’ll try to decipher his language and prepare a full report. Muskrat

FNG Picks Epic Videos

New Guy Music Fog "Race To Philly"

I'm proud to be the FNG with Music Fog, so hopefully my picks will seem both  "fresh" and  "incredibly naive."Philly

My favorites are the epic trip to Philly video and the resulting "Those Darlins" videos.  The "Race to Philly"  video proves that the Music Fog team are the kind of folks for whom life is one long series of adventures.  Most people would come back from a road trip to Philly with a few complaints about traffic or gas prices, Music Fog comes back with a DIY "CannonBall Run."

And to prove the race was not in vain, this weekend safari yields Those Darlins, "The Whole Damn Thing". Psychedelic visuals, swirling guitars and unforgettable sing-along-lyrics. "I got drunk and I ate a chicken..." Need I say more?Those Darlins

I'm also partial to Scott Miller's "People Who Rule" -  a gentle, savage lullaby for our time.  Plus, it has a couple kazoo solos.

Music Fog Test Labs

Pardon us while we get stupid here for a minute. Maybe it's nerves or something. But it always happens to us when we prepare for a big event like the trip to Nashville for The Americana Music Festival & Conference.Test Lab Scientist

We expect this one to be the "A" game. With the biggest names in the business visiting Music Fog. So, in the middle of a brain freeze we decided to open up The Music Fog Test Labs and try-out the latest from Cross Canadian Ragweed...on a lawn mower. Why not?

If you feel violated in any way after watching this, well...that's the way it goes.
