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.

dconstruction.org is in its upcoming podcast episodes trying to feature more demos from more bands, unheard, unsigned and unappreciated. You will probably remain unheard, unsigned and unappreciated, but we’ll do what we can.
We are looking for interested bands or artists to submit their music for review, along with all the appropriate bio and press info. And a statement about why we should care. Contact phone numbers would be great, too: we’re looking into doing telephone interviews with the bands as we review them with our guests. A great opportunity to hear, say Ken Bethea, tell you your music “is, uh, well, interesting - is that a cat you’re playing?” Or maybe Sam Machkovech tell you, “definitely something I’d listen to if I’d just swallowed poison and needed to immediately vomit.” Or even Trey Johnson say, “[nothing].”
You can submit electronically, but please make sure the MP3s you might link to are downloadable. We cannot play what we cannot download.
And of course, we are always open to verbal abuse. Tell us what is shameful or disgusting about our podcast, and how to improve it. Our egos are far too inflated after this month’s D Magazine article.
