Hell, there are about 4219 members of Lambchop alone. Nashville has been completely overrun with indie bands, and East Nashville is so indie it looks like freakin' Portland, what with those squirrelly dudes with beards and plastic glasses riding Huffy bikes and tables full of tattooed girls drinking at local bars while KNITTING. At like 1AM. If you know how to make them go away, let me know. I wish it were as simple an issue as not letting Berman back in town.
