• Giveaway: A Pair Of Tickets To Starlight Mints, Recorder and Grassfight

  A couple o' Okie indie pop acts-- Starlight Mints and Recorder--are making the drive down to Denton tonight for a show at Hailey's where they'll be met by Denton Radiohead devotees Grassfight. The obvious draw here: Starlight Mints, whose debut release, 2000's The Dream That Stuff Was Made Of, thrust the band onto the scene as a brash, punchy indie pop act worth keeping an eye on. While the band's two subsequent releases maybe haven't been on par with its inital disc, the listening public's init

• Highlights, Lowlights and Northern Lights From Saturday's National Record Store Day Celebration At Good Records

  Patrick MichelsJonathan Tyler & The Northern Lights on Good's outdoor stage.Spent all day Saturday (well, for the most part) at Good Records for the store's combined 9th Birthday Bash and National Record Store Day Celebration. And, given the at-times cool and at-times brutally humid weather, that kind of marathon was something of a beating. A fun beating, but a beating nonetheless.In total, the music lasted from 11 a.m. to just about 10:30 p.m. on Saturday--right up until the cops shut down
