Howdy, welcome to my new mouthpiece. This ain’t your daddy’s Nashville. Or maybe it is; that’d be cool. Anyway, that’s not the point…what it is IS is an attempt at navigating my world view through a narrowish focus. An attempt at defining my space in the context of space. Thinking global and reacting local. I’m an expat from the Middle West who discovered a magical hidden place in South America; and I wanna share my infatuation with you. It’s a place informed by legends and ghosts of legends, and populated by modernists like corndawgs and deer ticks. It tastes like handmade chocolate & marshmallows and beer, and smells like vinyl and leather. It sounds like the past/future and feels like fall, all the time. And, in my head, it’s always looked like Jon Langford paintings. And it’s going to be the springboard for my ramblings: about art, america(ana), letters, fatherhood, nothingness, culture, flavor, somethingness, husbandhood, design, humanity…and music. And there might be a video or two for you to watch at the end. Y’all come back now.
is this thing on?

Cosmic Nashville 
You’re so cool. If anyone should be in charge of the archiving of Nashville culture (past & present), I think you’re a damn fine choice.
Brad,
are you still a cheese monger, or at least I know you are a beer/chocolate/ice cream lover?
If you are would you like to do a pairings post like this:

or

but you would be doing cheeses/chocolates/or something and songs?
Thoughts, concerns?
I feel bad I haven’t posted in a while. I think about you often, and always read. Just added this feed to my RSS.
cheers,
tom
Tom!
I woul love to be involved. I’m still cheese and chocolate mongering, and think I could come up with more than a few pairings. There are plenty of great cheeses and chocolates from all over, made by folks just as diverse. Sorry I haven’t gotten back to you sooner, but we we’re travelling last week. Let me know what you’re thoughts are. Thanks for thinking of me; I think of you often, as well. Come to Nashville!
Brad
