Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium may be the crown jewel of Tennessee music venues, but no live-music space goes as deep as the Caverns in Pelham, just southeast of town. Literally an underground performance venue, the natural cave will host the 13th season of The Caverns Sessions, a live-music PBS series, next year.
The 2024 lineup includes subterranean sets by rootsy soul singer Yola, hardscrabble country band 49 Winchester, and the multilayered Elizabeth Cook. Bluegrass ace Dan Tyminski and his band are also on the bill, along with fellow bluegrasser Lindsay Lou, and...

The Piranha 3D soundtrack. Fish! Terrifying, aren’t they? Whadda you mean no? We’re not talking about a breadcrumb-coated bit of cod here – these are piranhas! The aquatic menace of choice for Bond villains seeking fishy means with which to punish those underlings unfortunate enough to have incurred their wrath.
Picking the songs for Piranha 3D was a task of balancing context against quality. After all, the human characters in Alexander Aja’s remake of the Corman-produced ’70s schlocker are a mix of spring breakers and porno performers, showcasing their well-honed bods and empty heads out on the beach. Given that then, how in the name of Captain Birdseye can the Piranha people possibly unearth music that will offer a decent listen and yet still correspond to a group of vacuous narcissists so objectionable that the movie in which they exist is asking its audience to take immense pleasure...

It's a good day to be a Jurassic 5 fan. Former J5 beatsmith DJ Nu-Mark confirmed that he'll be joining the cast of the "MacGruber" movie. On Twitter. Oh yes, the bane of public relations specialists everywhere strikes again with some casting confirmation straight from the horse's... errr... keyboard. The Tweet is actually a bit more revealing, with Nu-Mark mentioning the ordeal his character will go through. In his own words:
@djnumark: Ahh, gonna be in my first movie! Playin a DJ in the new Mac Gruber movie (from SNL)..lol. Val Kilmer is gonna take my mic from me..lol
So there you have it. Val Kilmer: actor, outdoorsman... mic thief.
Nu-Mark is only one half of the team that mixed beats for the now-defunct southern California hip-hop outfit Jurassic 5. "MacGruber" might be Nu's first movie, but fellow DJ Cut Chemist beat him to Hollywood.
