202: Excitedly Eclectic
This episode we’re back with another dose of local music. There’s nine tracks queued up for your enjoyment and it’s possibly one of our most eclectic episodes yet with plenty of new releases and a handful of selections from year’s past that we somehow, regrettably, skipped.
As always, do yoursel...

203: Dipping into Doubles
This week, by some magical stroke of luck, the playlist came together in such a way that every two tracks works very well together. None of them are directly related to one another, nor are they necessarily related in genre but as doubles, they just fit. So, we’re playing two tracks back-to-back ...

204: Ominous Romps and Pleasing Surprises

205: Don’t Shy Away from the Political
Another massive dose of local music for you spanning a variety of genres. Hope you’re in the mood for some wildly upbeat dance-y jams, some ominous hip-hop, some politically fueled indie rock and many many points in between because that’s what we’ve got in store for you.
Treat yourself to plenty...

We’re still working through the backlog of tracks that have caught our ear over the past few weeks but we did our best to pepper in some brand new work as well. All tol...

207: Articulated Enraged Frustration
This week we find ourselves in a wealth of new music. So much of it, that we dip back into doubling up the tracks again because there’s just so much to share. There’s ten tracks this week and, honestly, the playlist is kind of wild in terms of genres but that’s an absolutely positive thing.

213: Zero Doubt of Greatness
Another phenomenal week of new releases and new-to-us releases all culled from Nashville and surrounding area artists across a variety of genres. Even in These Troubling Times, Nashville continues to show it’s strength in diversity.
-
212: The Tip of a Much Larger Iceberg
A bit of a hybrid this week between the last few long form episodes and the WOTT Classic™ format. This week we’ve got 13 songs for 45-minutes of music and a delightful plethora of genres. No matter how it’s presented, Nashville Music is a damn delight.
I mentioned it several times in the episode...

215: The Beauty of Human Error with Battle Tapes Jeremy Ferguson
As we are want to do on episodes ending in five or zero, we undertake something a little different than our regular playlist format. This episode, we speak with Jeremy Ferguson; founder and proprietor of Battle Tapes Recording, a recording studio nestled in East Nashville for the past 17 years. T...

214: In Praise of Bandcamp
After a brief pounding of the pulpit in praise of Bandcamp, we dive into a massive playlist of new local music. Some might even say a little too much music but when there’s this much to share, why wait to share it?

216: All My Hopes and Dreams
This week we’re back to our fundamentals – a variety of local music for you to check out culled from Instagram posts, Direct Messages, Bandcamp browsing and wherever else folks are posting music. Many of these records have yet to fully sink in but they’re all well worth investing more time with.

217: Effortless
This week, we continue to focus on our fundamentals. Ten new tracks culled from a myriad of genres across our local scene, peppered with a little insight about each in between. Truth be told, there is a growing backlog of tracks to play but we’re sticking with this format; even if it doesn’t maxi...

218: Captivating Reinvention
Another wild batch of local music that really runs the gamut, powered in part by last Friday’s #BandcampFriday. So, settle in for a rewardingly wild ride.

219: Win-Win, Lose-Lose Situation
Some accidental themes reveal themselves on this episode. First off, picking a single song from local releases where multiple songs are stand-out tracks is quickly becoming a real problem. Secondly, with the election on the horizon; many of these tracks directly speak to the State of the Union, t...
-
220: A Lifetime of Spelling Things Weird on the Internet
A larger-than-average episode jam packed with a ton of local music. Lots of great new tracks were left on the cutting room floor for now but it’s the best problem to have; far too much music to fit into one episode.
As a general Public Service Announcement; please remember to vote! In Tennessee,...

221: The 2020 Halloween Spooktacular
A Halloween playlist is a bit of a tradition around We Own This Town; exhibited by Volume 96 from 2017, Volume 119 from 2018, Volume 168 from 2019 and now, Volume 221. Each set is designed to set a mood, a feeling we double-down on by minimizing talking during the set. This year we start off a bi...

222: The Delivery of Satisfaction
This episode is being released on Monday, Nov 2nd. That means tomorrow, Tuesday, November 3rd is ELECTION DAY. That means that if you haven’t voted yet, you *gotta* get out there and vote. We can not stress this enough. Vote Please.
This week we’re playing a bit of catch up. We had our Halloween...

223: Prepare for Fascination
Heading into early November with an optimistic outlook. These tracks were primarily culled from WOTT Inbox submissions and Bandcamp Friday offerings but are only the tip of the iceberg for new music flowing out of Nashville and surrounding areas. As always, give this a listen and tap through on t...

224: I Did a Dumb Thing
For our episode this week on this show, I did a dumb thing. I put together a huge playlist. I just couldn’t help myself. When you’re staring at a bunch of songs and you’re asking yourself which to cut.. sometimes its just not a choice you want to make. So, why make it?
This week, we’ve got 15 so...

225: We Own This Town Mailbag
This week, we’re taking a trip down the WOTT Inbox of submissions. We’re always combing through music that comes in via our contact page, or via email or maybe just a heads-up DM over on Instagram but we found ourselves with a bit of a backlog and decided to clear the decks. The resulting playlis...

226: Elevate Your Existence
With four episodes remaining in the year, we’re hurtling towards the inevitable Christmas mix and possible Year End Roundup episode. But First, another blast of dynamic music offerings from the Nashville area to keep your head spinning with the sheer volume of greatness our city produces. It’s a ...
