We’ve said plenty about Daniel Folmer in the past few weeks by covering his new disc The Roaring Twenties in print, taking a slideshow of his Denton CD release party, and even talking about his new work in our debut podcast last week. But, I dunno, maybe you’d want to…
…yep, the header pretty much sums up the whole post. Read the whole lineup here, if you don’t believe me. …
Speaking of MTV, the strictly music (and definitely not reality TV-based) cable network chimes in today with a recap of last night’s Silver Jews concert–purportedly Dallas native David Berman’s final show.Makes sense, as we’ve all seen how much love MTV has given artists like the Silver Jews prior to their…
…which is to say that Flight of the Conchords will be migrating to Grand Prairie that night. I mention this because foreplay is very important… in love…
In what can only be classified at this point as “non-news”, country music legend George Strait may or may not be booked to perform at the new Cowboys stadium at some as-yet-undetermined point this summer, the Morning News reports today, following up a report made on The Ticket this morning.Thing…
Since a certain DC9 contributor may or may not be obsessed with Kelly Clarkson, we’ve been updating you quite furiously over the Burleson native’s doings in recent weeks. As such, I guess we might as well share the video for her newest single, “My Life Would Suck Without You”. Fans…
Seems like someone may have explained female anatomy to Dallas’ own Stanky Legg inventors, Them Gspot Boyz, as the group now appears to be going by the far less outrageous name, Them GS Boyz. Alas, that’s not the news here. The news here is that the Boyz still believe there…
Los Campesinos!, Titus AndronicusClub DadaSaturday, January 31, 2009 Better than: Staying home with eager anticipation for this weekend’s fairly bland Super Bowl lineup (Bruce Springsteen’s halftime performance notwithstanding). Download: Photographer Mattie Stafford trolled the grounds of Dada to bring us photos for our slideshow here. Toward the tail end of…
Earlier this week, we caught up with Ollie, the drummer for Los Campesinos! (pictured, right), to talk for a few minutes about the band’s quick ascent to success, the fact that the band released its first two albums within six months of each other, and even how the differences in…
Been a good six months-plus since we checked in with Eric Landrum, program director of the still-kinda-new HD2 station at 105.3 FM, about how things are going over there at his indie rock radio station, The Indie-Verse. (Full disclosure: We haven’t really listened to it much before this morning, as…
If you don’t go to tonight’s Tapes ‘N Tapes show, Clell Tickle might sneak into your apartment tomorrow to give you a Columbian necktie. I mean, he probably won’t, but taking that chance is your call…
…per House of Blues’ Web site. We’ll call the HOB offices and Broken Social Scene’s publicists tomorrow to get the details. But, for now, it looks like it’s cooked. So that sucks. Meanwhile, in far less interesting news to anyone except me, my crowded Friday night plans just got a whole…
The eighth annual Ponderosa Stomp show, which aims to showcase the “unsung heroes of American music” and showcases, well, pretty much any type of music you could tie to its locale of New Orleans recently announced its lineup, and it’s worth noting that two area artists found themselves asked to…
Answer: Get a London-based company to make your video as part of a test-run. Because that seems to be how Dallas-based Canadian rapper Freeky T got this video (screen grab above) made for his song “Tipspell (feat. S Davis)”. The London-based company Eye Revolution filmed Freeky T and S Davis…
The video for Ben Kweller’s “Fight”–the same song he performed on Letterman earlier this week–premiered on Myspace today and, well, it’s quite a literal translation of the lyrics (at the start at least). But what country song isn’t? And, yes, it is a little silly. Borderline stupid, even. But the…
B-Sides: Most every critical take I’ve seen on your lastest release, Saturdays=Youth, has called it out as perfect material for a John Hughes film soundtrack—which is pretty spot-on by my account too. How do you feel about that comparison? Anthony Gonzalez: I like it. The John Hughes movies have been…
Well, lookie, lookie: We just had so much darned fun making our year-end podcast a couple of weeks ago that we’ve decided to try and go ahead and try to do the same thing on a somewhat regular basis. Perhaps even weekly!So, here we present you with the official debut…
Billboard reports today that Burleson’s own Kelly Clarkson is set to make chart history tomorrow. Here’s how: When the results for this week’s Hot 100 chart are officially revealed tomorrow, they will show that Clarkson’s newest single, “My Life Would Suck Without You”, will have made the largest jump to…
Per a Myspace blog post and a press release sent out to area media outlets by now-former frontman Cory Watson, local New Wave act Black Tie Dynasty–ever the line in the sand when it comes to area music fan tastes–has decided to call it quits. Says the band’s Myspace post:”Black…
Assuming you’ve picked up a copy of the Observer or read this blog in the past two weeks, the news that the Old 97’s are playing our St. Patrick’s Day Parade After Party Concert is old hat by now. Well, today, we’ve got some additions to the bill. Supporting the…
As promised, Greenville’s own Ben Kweller stopped by Letterman last night to debut the song “Fight” off his upcoming album Changing Horses. The song’s a little bit more country than most Kweller fans might be expecting (which has one blog poking fun already). But I kinda dig it, in that…
Yesterday over at GvB, Chris Cantalini posted a clip of DFWd’s own St. Vincent privately performing her song “Marry Me” for the folks of Shoot The Player at the Sydney Festival. It’s a hell of a video–and not just because Annie Clark takes the time to perform a gorgeous stripped-down…
