The Lynnster Zone

babbling since february 1997

so far today…

I found stuff yesterday that made me very very happy and made me feel like I was 19 years old again for about an hour, heh. I am so thrilled more Nashville bands from the awesome days are surfacing:

Shadow 15 on MySpace

Raging Fire on MySpace

Jet Black Factory on MySpace

Really just can’t get enough of this stuff, it’s hard for me to believe it’s been 20 years since I’ve seen some of these bands play. I luv me lots of all three of those bands, and Shadow 15’s “So Far Today” remains one of my top fave tunes of the era - I have been carrying around a beat up cassette of stuff taped off of WRVU with that on it that has somehow managed to survive all these years. Which brings me to the next bit of news (great news for me!) -

To make this latest find even cooler, I heard from Scott Feinstein, who says they are currently in the process of getting together some of the old Shadow 15 stuff with plans for a CD, probably in a few months. So that along with the recent news of Tommy Womack planning to remaster and rerelease the old Government Cheese catalog eventually - I couldn’t be more thrilled.

So in honor of all these fine folks that keep resurfacing out of the old Nashville underground after lo, so many years - on this fine gorgeous November morning in Tennessee, once again, I bring you the almighty Cheese!

PS - Here’s direct links to that one and the rest of the live show Government Cheese videos currently on YouTube:

The Shrubbery’s Dead Where Danny Used to Fall

Camping on Acid

Skyline Rant and Somewhere in Between

There’s a couple of non-live videos over at YouTube too - enjoy!
