... and there you go, obvious proof to Mr Bright Eyes that his music isn't any good. I'm sorry I've been enjoying his new album so much, I'll immediately change to to get me some old Rank and File albums.

I was suprised that we all have evidence that the reason he disliked the Texas was actually that Janadek and the red crayola came from there, and wasn't anything to do with - oh I don't know, rgw politicians and their impact on the rest of the world. Or maybe the amount of people the state executes... or... well Ican list a million things, right down to the wingnut make up of the school book board..

Do some of you people write instapundit?

no one said that, read the thread title. and don't take your "Nü-Dylan" so seriously.

― eman (eman), Saturday, 12 February 2005 09:43 (twenty-one years ago)

"no one said that, read the thread title."

I've read the thread title, if its not connected to the recent comments about Texas what is it about.. Tell you what, if you aren't being disingenious here, you explain why there is a thread about Texan bands against Bright Eyes, rather than - say - a thread about, say, a list of Brighton bands that are better than Sharlene Spitteri.

So what is the reason for the title then?

and don't take your "Nü-Dylan" so seriously.

Where did you infer I was 'so serious' or that he's my new Dylan? I said nothing about him you should infer apart from that I enjoyed his tunes and that his comments about Texas were accurate and well said.

Typical wingnut switch and bait polemic techniques that infest the right wing bloggers. I'm serious. Has ILM been taken over by the people that write instapundit, little green footbals etc? I mean, it would be nice to know.

"a personal fave from a non-music medium 20 Mike Judge"

Believe it or not, but Mike Judge is also a musician (bass). He used to play with Doyle Bramhall Sr. and Anson Funderburgh (who both should be added to the list) back in the 80s.

Some other cool acts:

D-Day
Sincola
Westbury Squares
Billy Joe Shaver
Linus Pauling
Lee Hazelwood (born in OK, but grew up in Texas)

Kiss my little green ass, Sandy.

― Austin (Austin), Saturday, 12 February 2005 15:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I believe Mike Judge is technically from Albuquerque, though he's obviously made Texas his home and his cause.

― Derek Krissoff (Derek), Saturday, 12 February 2005 16:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, I think he was born out of state, but was raised in Garland (near Dallas.)

Barbara Jordan is an artist now?

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Saturday, 12 February 2005 16:29 (twenty-one years ago)

If the objection to Texas is political, rather than musical (as in comparing Texas to East Germany) then Barbara Jordan, Molly Ivins, Lloyd Doggett and Jim Hightower give the lie to that particular strain of ignorant bullshit.

― Austin (Austin), Saturday, 12 February 2005 16:36 (twenty-one years ago)

I like Ron Paul.

Texas was a strong Democrat state for its entire existence until 10-20 years ago.

― tejas rox (zachary v.), Saturday, 12 February 2005 16:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Bob Bullock's another good one.

All of which goes to show Conor's (not-so-cute) youthful ignorance. Whether it be the full range of Texas culture (as represented by all these kick-ass musicians), or what a "real" Texan might be, he doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about.

― tejas rox (zachary v.), Saturday, 12 February 2005 17:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Of course, all that beer he drank didn't do him any favors. Wasn't Oberst diagnosed as an alcoholic when he has a teen?

― Matt Chesnut, Saturday, 12 February 2005 18:25 (twenty-one years ago)

"these are the Texans that have affected the political landscape the most in the last ten years"

That's certainly true. The point of this I Love MUSIC thread, I believe, is to disprove the notion that Current Texas Political Landscape=Texas (like saying Current U.S. Political Landscape=U.S. - hey maybe at heart we're all, as Oberst so eloquently put it, 'ropin' cows & raping Indians'), as if when those GOP's pictured above came into power Texans suddenly reverted back to ropin' cows & raping Indians. Reductive, myopic bullshit.

Anybody with a good working familiarity with the underground metal scene could probably add 300 more. Or punk. Or polka. Or conjunto. Or Austin singer-songwriters. Surely Texas is our most musical state.

Stars of the Lid, of course!
Add one hit indie wonders Schrasj (a nice cover of "Temptaion")

Sun City Girls have a Texas connection?

And I listed Will & the Kill, of all artists, twice. So, insert Young Heart Attack & carry on.

Centro matic or South San Gabriel. Aren't they from Dallas?

There's also Honky!

Surely Texas is our most musical state.

I think that Tennessee could prove you wrong on that statement.
