Making my way back to Big D after a week spent camping in Utah and Arizona, I stumbled upon KWTS 91.1 FM out of Amarillo. Broadcasting from the West Texas A&M University campus, this little oasis of deep indie rock kept me locked in until the signal finally diminished just outside of Wichita Falls. For those couple of hours, though, and on a Sunday afternoon, no less, my family and I were serenaded by the likes of Los Camesinos!, The Ting Tings, Benjy Ferree, Vetiver, Mates of State, Woodpig
Your daily dose of national music news for Thursday, November 11, 2009...At least Jay-Z has good, cross-genre taste when it comes to picking music for his new label: He's signed the Ting Tings to Roc Nation.Looks like there are only two great bands left in the UK: Kasabian and The Arctic Monkeys. Of course, it was Kasabian's guitarist who said that.Already time for a Ladytron "Best Of?" I guess that's what happens when UK bands sneak up on you after several years together.
