Shows to see this weekend

Here’s a quick rundown of shows I recommend this weekend in Nashville:

FRIDAY:

Lambchop at Cheekwood Botanical Gardens. This is strange but awesome juxtaposition of outdoor fun, art, food, and music. The event starts at 5pm, but Lambchop plays at 9pm. For more info checkout Cheekwood’s website.

Quichenight, A Country Gentleman, Rock City Birdhouse @ the 5 Spot. 9pm $5

SATURDAY:

Times New Viking, D. Watusi, Big Surr @ The End. 9pm $10

… That’s about it for stuff that piques my interest.

I simply can’t go without posting this awesome video created by director Chris Abbas that combines a plethora of amazing imagery from the Cassini spacecraft (which has been orbiting Saturn for many years now) with the track “2 Ghosts I” from the album Ghosts I-IV by Nine Inch Nails. As the name of this blog implies, I’m obviously a huge fan of both music and science, and when they come together to create something beautiful like this I’m a happy man. If you can’t enjoy this there is something wrong with you. *HINT: If you’re viewing this post in an RSS reader, the Vimeo video below doesn’t show up, click through to actually view the blog page to see it!*
