WTF
- tearing it down, building it up
In November 2003, shortly after Sarah Hepola was named music editor at the Dallas Observer, Robert Jenkins cornered her during a Sorta and Sparrows concert at Deep Ellum's Sons of Hermann Hall.
"You're not going to change anything in this town," Jenkins said.
His wisdom and warning came from years of going to local shows and watching good bands struggle to find an audience. Hepola took it as a challenge, as did Lindsay Graham, who was within earshot. Together, Jenkins and Graham have stopped complaining about the lack of recognition for local musicians and decided to do something about it.

Here’s part two, in which we start listening to the songs and artists Sarah has picked as her Best of Dallas.
So you should listen.
Happy Fourth of July, PodPeople! To celebrate the birth of our nation, we birth our own little revolution: dconstruction.org. In today’s inaugural podcast, we speak with former Dallas Observer music editor Sarah Hepola, who brought along some of her favorite - and least favorite - music from the Dallas scene. Off to New York in only a few weeks, we are privileged to have had the opportunity to speak with her.
Because Robert and I are such enormous blowhards, this podcast runs a little long. As such, it’s split into three parts with a combined running time of 1:49:53. Yep. Nearly two hours. But we play some great music:
- The Strange Boys
- Draven
- Lady of the Lake
- Centro-Matic
- The Happy Bullets
- The Deathray Davies
- Common Folk
- Sorta
- Sparrows
- The Hold Steady
- Salim Nourallah
Tearing it down,
Lindsay
