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.

Welcome to the newly redesigned dconstruction.org. Things around here might still be a bit buggy as I finish up the coding, but, overall, a great improvement. You should notice a few things:
- The Calendar: off to the left is an event calendar of shows Robert or I recommend and might even be attending. We’ll try to keep this as up-to-date as possible, but only with the select shows or happenings we feel we can strongly recommend.
- The Submit Function: also on the left, but a little lower, is the Submit section. Clicking on the link there will take you to a form you can use to send us a band you’d like us to hear. We’re always very interested in finding new music and, hopefully, being able to promote it.
- The RSS Feed: because of the redesign, I’ve had to change the location of our RSS feed (the thingamajiggy iTunes and iPodder and others use to synch up with this podcast, to download new episodes). I know this is an inconvenience for some of you, but it would be greatly appreciated if you update your podcatchers with the following new RSS URI:
http://www.dconstruction.org/feed. - The Lists: we’re going to be keeping list of links to the bands, artists, bars and venues we mention on each show, permanently located to the right of the page. Please visit these sites if you’re interested; many if not most of the band sites include MP3s available for download and information about upcoming shows. Click a few buttons, come out to the show.
- iTunes: because of the RSS feed change, the iTunes podcast directory must be changed. This takes a little while as we wait for iTunes to update their databases. While we wait, the “Subscribe Via iTunes” buttons at the top and right side will not work - they’ll only point ot the empty, old location. This should be remedied within a week. Until then, to update your iTunes, go to “Advanced,” then “Subscribe to Podcast” and then type “http://www.dconstruction.org/feed” (without quotes) into the URL field. Bingo! We’re back in your iTunes podcast list. You may want to go ahead and unsubscribe to the previous dconstruction.org listing - it will never update again.
If you have any suggestions for this site, or comments about what we do here at dconstruction.org, please let us know:
- Email both of us: dconstruction@dconstruction.org
- Email Lindsay: lindsay@dconstruction.org
- Email Robert: robert@dconstruction.org
I should make small mention of our schedule: it’s fucked. With this last episode we’ve fallen off the rails a bit. However, we will be back publishing on a regular two-week interval starting August 22nd, with our show with Zac Crain, former Dallas Observer Music Editor. Look forward soon to a broadcast of Sarah Hepola’s going away party, recorded live at The Barley House, July 30th, 2005.
That’s about it, I think. Hope you enjoy the new look and feel.
Tearing it down,
Lindsay
