  • Looking Back at the Starck Club

    My latest This Week In Dallas Music history post is up: Starck Club Opens Wow. This place had an electronic scene? And I wonder if there is anyplace in Dallas today that comes close to the wild antics in the Starck Club. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iMEs-D6Ccc&w=425&h=344]

  • This Week in Dallas Music History:Toadies in 1994

    My latest This Week In Dallas Music History is up. I’ll admit, I only knew about the Toadies through their hit single “Possum Kingdom” playing on the radio.

  • Raise the Steaks

    It has come to my attention that a great number of visitors to my blog are following the sustainability tag. I regret to inform interested viewers that I am currently in basement-dwelling bohemian mode, which I assume is far from sustainable. Living this lifestyle cuts me off from information regarding sustainability from this locality. Texas […]
