Calla started there, 2 of the 3 guys in Secret Machines did time there, Mazinga Phaser, crappy Deep Blue Something, Edie Brickell...

"It didn't help things when a developer last year bulldozed much of historic Fry Street, the former epicenter of Denton's live music scene, to make way for a CVS (a plan since stalled by a permit issue). All that remains today of the Haight-Ashburyesque strip is a mosquito-infested mud pit and a graveyard of frat bars and head shops."

"The bin dividers read like a Lollapalooza T-shirt." Yeah, I don't know if the lineup that follows would really pack Grant Park.

So, in script that made prominent use of a pentagram, they stenciled their drum heads and guitars with their names.

The NYT's coverage of Essouria festival is hardly less patronizing - espeically when the reporter wonders if he should lie and tell Moroccoans he's a Canadian and not an American. Please. I've been to the Essouaria and Fes festivals on more than one occasion, and the locals couldn't be more welcoming - because the Moroccan tourist police and secret police are out in force, ready to beat the shit out of any poor Moroccan who looks crosseyed at a tourist.

They cannot write about the Flaming Lips without referencing the Dust Bowl, either.

Recycled is one of the sweetest book/ record stores I've ever encountered. The music students always sold amazing stuff and I found way OOP Moondog, Steve Reich, La Monte Young, Scott Walker, This Heat, and Tim Buckley items there all the time.
