Ugh.

At least the folks at Southern Living had the good sense to get some actual Denton musicians to describe the town for them, in this case the forever-tied-together-although-not-really indie folksters, Doug Burr and Sarah Jaffe, who shout-out to the magazine a couple of their favorite places (Circa 77, The Abbey Inn).

But what's really interesting is that the magazine also got the artists' take on one another. Says Jaffe of Burr: He sings "like he's got something to tell you." Says Burr of Jaffe: Her "songs live in your head." Adorable.

Check out a pretty crappy scan of the magazine's piece after the jump.
