What's Going On Around Here

I encourage everyone to join the Nashville Symphony's Soundcheck program for college students. 
It is easy and free to sign up and you will be able to purchase two tickets to select Symphony performances for $10 each the day of the show. The shows selected are usually very good and include great guest conductors or singers. The 2008-2009 season lineup is fantastic and it includes local favorites Vince Gill and rocker Ben Folds. 
Also coming up in Nashville :
Linkin Park performs at The Sommet Center February 26. 
Monty Python's Spamalot begins at TPAC on February 12 and runs through the Feb.17 
Brad Paisley rolls into town February 15 and will surely rock the Sommet Center ! 
Casting Crowns will perform at the Sommet Center on April 19 

Over Her Dead Body starring Eva Longoria Parker and Paul Rudd opens Friday,Feb.1 
The Eye starring Jessica Alba opens today January 28. 

There is not much happening in music releases this week unless you are into rap , which I am not so I won't bore you with the details of those releases. 
I am looking forward to next Tuesday " Super Tuesday" as it has been deemed by politicos but it is super for me for another reason.  Mellow rocker Jack Johnson's highly anticipated new album  Sleep Through The Static will be released . Johnson's music always puts me in a good mood and his lyrics are light and simple and the music breezy and reminiscent of a relaxing night on a tropical beach . I can't wait!
