The worst feeling in the world is when you are ready to laugh and you get denied.

That's what happened to me today, when I had my Tim and Eric awesome tour ticket in hand.

I call the venue to find out how to get there, and they tell me it's 21+.

Life is hard when you're young.

As you probably don't know, I try to make it my mission to play as many unknown or relatively unknown Texas artists on my show as possible every week. Although Phonetik Epidemik airs from 3-5 am on Tuesday mornings, I do have frequent callers and listeners. This is simply to get the message out about some of the bands I've been playing. I hope you will listen and enjoy:

Nouns Group (rock, Plano)
Koji Kondo (punk/grind, Fort Worth)
Zanzibar Snails (experimental, Denton)
Shiny Around the Edges (experimental, Denton)
Last Men (rock, Denton)
Fight Bite (pop, Dallas/Denton)

Update: Cry Blood Apache added to the bill! They will be sharing equipment and stage time with Ghosthustler and Fizzy Dino Pop during the 12:50-2am timeslots.

There are so many reasons not to miss out on the Spring 2008 Pledge Drive Concert on Fri, April 18th. at Rhizome Collective at 6:30pm sharp!

1. Awesome lineup!
2. FREE BEER!

Does anyone else find it amusing that The Octopus Project will be opening for The Roots at this year's brofest (40acres)? Especially considering that they played KVRX's pledge drive last spring in the CMC plaza with a quite dismal turnout. Of course that's not a 1:1 comparison, but still. What a difference a year makes.

It just seems odd I suppose.

Isn't it just irritating when there are two shows you really REALLY want to see on the same day?
