The Tennessean reports that Gaylord Entertainment has axed the operations manager and several other staffers at Nashville’s WSM-AM radio, which is the famous home of the Grand Ole Opry radio show.

The Supersuckers will release a new album titled “Motherfuckers Be Trippin’” on April 22. Don’t expect to find it at Wal-Mart.

Oleander releases a new studio album titled “Joyride” on March 4.
