FREE IN-STORE PERFORMANCE
David Olney
Legendary Nashville musician DAVID
OLNEY will perform here TODAY,
Wednesday,
November
14th, at 5:00, on his way to a party gig that he's playing
nearby! David's one of those guys you may have
heard of, via more popular musicians
(Emmylou
Harris and Steve Earle have covered his songs,
among others). The Houston Press described
him well when they wrote, "...Olney stands out like
a jalapeño in a bowl of vanilla pudding in Nashville,
where he lives, and throughout an 18-album career
has stubbornly gone his own way, making brilliant,
unheralded albums as artists from Linda Ronstadt to
bluegrass king Del McCoury record his songs."
We're lucky to be in his company and need you to help
us make him feel welcome!
Advance reservations are required for that
evening's
HOUSE CONCERT (which only holds ~ 30
people!)-
Contact: 813-837-6572 or
gshello@tampabay.rr.com.

AMERICA UNCHAINED!
Saturday, November 17th
The Tampa Independent Business Alliance (TIBA)
urges everyone to shop only at locally owned
independent businesses on the Saturday before
Thanksgiving as part of the 4th annual observance of
America Unchained! highlighting the significant
economic impact of spending decisions.
As in previous years, the focus is the findings of recent
case studies illustrating that local retailers return
more economic value to the community than chain
retailers. Repeated studies confirm that over 3
times as much local economic activity results from
spending at local stores versus national chains.
Applying the findings to 2006 sales tax figures
supplied by the Florida Department of Revenue,
there could be an extra $19 million put into our
local economy if all spending on taxable sales in
Hillsborough County was with locally owned
businesses and none with national chains for just
one average November day. "The Saturday
before Black Friday is intentionally chosen for this
reminder, before we are inundated with advertising
slicks from national chains," said Carla Jimenez,
President of TIBA and co-owner of Inkwood
Books.
"While every dollar spent locally helps all year long,
the holidays are a perfect time to reflect on how small
everyday acts have a big impact on our lives. As we
give thanks and give gifts, we really appreciate the
service, knowledge, and selection of local merchants,
while giving ourselves the gift of a personal shopping
experience in a human-scaled, serene setting," said
Jimenez.
Many TIBA member businesses (including Vinyl
Fever) are offering special discounts to celebrate
America Unchained, making it a great time for a head
start on holiday shopping. " The full list of special
offers can be seen online at tibatampa.org.

NOVEMBER LISTENING POST FEATURES
Give us a Wink
Robert Plant & Alison Krauss - Raising Sand
From its conceptual stages, the mere idea of Raising
Sand held infinite fascination for both its creators and
those around them. On the surface, Robert and
Alison have seemingly little in common, but a deeper
dig reveals an elemental understanding flowed
between them, waiting to be tapped...and this
collaboration has brought us to Raising
Sand.
Prefuse 73 - Preparations
By focusing on the foundation of his creative process
and less on the intricacies of his trademark editing
and chopping magic, Guillermo Scott Heron has
emerged with an album that will give fans a subtle
taste of every Prefuse 73 record that has come before
and will give the haters a deserved shake-up.
Jose Gonzalez - In Our Nature
NPR "Quietly powerful" Rolling Stone "Subtly
hypnotic"
José Gonzalez's sophomore album sees Jose
coming into his own as a songwriter, with songs that
are as instantly accessible as they are brimming with
darkness and brooding intensity.
Marissa Nadler - Songs III: Bird On The Water
... Songs III: Bird on the Water is among the most
arresting recordings of 2007 thus far and sets a new
high-water mark for this seemingly limitless
songwriter. - Allmusic.com
... Nadler's songs feature ghostly vocals, carefully
wrought lyrics, and subtle acoustic arrangements-
imagine Leonard Cohen singing soprano. - Filter
Magazine
... Nadler writes songs that spin tales of folklore and
witchcraft, and she performs them in a silken
soprano. - Interview Magazine
... one of the most focused and engaging singer-
songwriter releases so far this year. -
Pitchfork
Grizzly Bear - Friend
Friend is a testament to what Grizzly Bear has become
in its 3 year history - a well loved, sonically
adventurous and adaptable pop band, with honey-
sweet four part harmonies, and an unforgettable live
show.

THIS WEEK'S FEATURE: THE HIVES
THE HIVES- curators of that perfectly

ALBUM. Earlier this year, our five Hives traveled to
Oxford, Mississippi to collaborate with producer
