The radio program Texas Music Matters on KUT in Austin had The Old 97’s in studio for a performance last week and the powers that be behind the show at least partially used that gig as an excuse to talk some Dallas music.
And that’s where I come in to this anecdote; last week, the guys who produce the show approached me about talking some Dallas music with them on the air for a short segment. I did, name-checking Record Hop, Dove Hunter, Mom and Mount Righteous–the last of which a producer just emailed me about, saying they “really blew me away”–in the process and talking Deep Ellum and Denton as well.

Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If the Dallas Observer matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
Be warned, though: Host David Brown takes a dig at the D early on, playing some Vanilla Ice. But I think I got him back when I corrected him on his reference of the recent Denton piece in the New York Times. —Pete Freedman
