• D-Town Boogie: The Do It Ourself Video

  Here at DC9 this week, we took Pete's cover story to heart, especially this dig DJ Drop takes at folks in night clubs who try out the D-Town Boogie dances: "You can tell the people that are doing it right off YouTube. They're doing it right off the instructions."To those of us who'd never seen the Rack Daddy or the Ricky Bobby in a club, that sounded like a challenge. Below, see a few of the dances for yourself, as performed by our in-house dance crew. And after the jump, check the Youtube versi

• Hophead: Jingle Beers

  I bid farewell to 2008 by, like Ricky Bobby, thanking little baby Jesus for giving us specialty holiday brews. What better way to soothe the white-knuckle stress of shopping, the friction of family gatherings and the frustration of assembling crappy toys than with a high-ABV beer? Jonathan Shikes at our sister paper in the Mile High City put together a slide show of "10 Holiday Beers To Help You Forget 2008." I was particularly fond of Anchor Steam Christmas Ale, a dark warmer so thick you c

• Question: What Was The Best Show You Didn't See Last Weekend?

  Answer: That AwkQuarius gig at Rubber Gloves that we told you about in last week's Good Friday. Of course, we didn't tell you about the Dallas-based hipster-hop outfit known as galleryCat that opened for Pikahsso and Tahiti--mostly because we didn't know them at the time either...

• It's "Dallas Week" Over At MTV.com...

  Looks like the fruits of MTV's labor from a few weeks back, when the network followed D-Town production wunderkinds Play-N-Skillz around town for a party at plush and a dance instruction deal at Big T Bazaar are gonna be unraveling over on MTV.com all week--if the above promo, which features non-Dallasites Bun B, Too $hort, Pitbull, Paul Wall, Slim Thug and actual Dallasties Big Tuck and Cowboys safety Ken Hamlin, is to be believed. As you already knew, each of the previously dropped names was

  "Well let me just quote the late-great Colonel Sanders, who said 'I'm too drunk to taste this chicken.'" (Ricky Bobby, as played by Will Ferrell, in Talladega Nights. Quoted because...what the hell, it's race weekend.)

• How'd You Spend Your Spring Break?

  If your name is B-Hamp, you went down to South Padre Island and performed 'Do The Ricky Bobby' at various Girls Gone Wild parties. Kinda puts a whole new spin on the "Stop! Pose for the frame!" lyric, huh?

• It's Now Official: Per The New York Times, National Hip-Hop Has 'Landed In Dallas.'

  ​Yet one more thing to add to the list of things that Dorrough has now done that his fellow rappers in the DFW scene haven't: Right there in the Sunday edition of the paper, Dorrough's debut album, Dorrough Music, received the review treatment from the New York Times. And while it's not the best review ever--actually, it's kind of a slam (although, to be fair, as is the case with most modern, mainstream hip-hop, Dorrough Music's strength lies in its singles, not its complete album package)--it
