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.

As promised, here is the second hour of our discussion with Ken Bethea. If you were left wanting more music in the last hour with Ken, then you will be satisfied today. The ‘dconstruction gong show’ debuts with four hopeful contestants, only one of which gets a full dconstruction endorsement. And frankly, I’m surprised by the winner - and the prize: an opening slot on the next Old97s tour*.
In total, it’s a good show, with lots of music from the likes of:
- Auto Escape
- Ashburne Glen
- Clay & Electronic Cowboys
- The Promise Loaf
- The Shapes
- Millicent Friendly
- Black Tie Dynasty
- The Slack
- The Old 97s
- Ken Bethea
Please enjoy.
Tearing it down,
Lindsay
