#136 - Musicians for Ukraine | “Bangers & Mashups” Round 5 | Ernest Tubb Record Shop

Nick pulled together a list of music news articles detailing the various types of responses artists, and the companies that represent them, have had to the Russian Invasion of Ukraine. It’s not heavy on discussion, nor is it a topic we usually discuss, but Nick felt like it was too important not to acknowledge...even for a music podcast.Song: Tigran Hamasyan- “De-Dah”Greg has uncovered 3 undiscussed DJ Cummerbund gems and that means it’s time for “Bangers & Mashups” Round 5! We listen to three increasingly complicated mashups that Greg (we all) believe are genuinely impressive works of art. Anyone that believes “Black Hole Sun” & “Kiss From A Rose” fit together is an interesting character to follow!Songs:DJ Cumberbund - “It’s Not Unusual Dammit”DJ Cumberbund - “Get Away”DJ Cumberbund - “Kiss From A Sun”Jay was saddened to read that the Ernest Tubb Record Shop has been sold, along with the building that it’s occupied since 1951. First opened in 1947 by Ernest Tubb, it helped spread country music by offering a catalog version mailed for record collectors across the country. Ultimately the new ownership, which took over in 2020, couldn’t find a way to keep the store afloat while sitting in a greatly appreciated building on Music Row in Nashville. We discuss where things stands and why this store is such an important piece of American music history.Song: David Bromberg - “Sharon”
