Disclose Yourself.. And, Are You Sure It's The Same Trailer?

Disclosure will be at the House Of Blues in Dallas tomorrow. This is sold out, (according to the Dallas Morning News!) but if you disclose a large amount of cash, I'm sure you can still go.
I listened to a couple (yes, a whopping 2!) songs online, and the verdict from me is: the dance-y duo is very mediocre. Nothing special, except for song #2, which was "You and Me."

And, on to greener pastures:

I recently learned about this artist: you've gotta admire someone who calls her album, Same Trailer, Different Park.
More on the trailer inhabiter. She is from outside of Dallas.

Got plans for July 17? Bring your poker face to this show. Maybe it'll be gyroscope day. More here.

Stay in your trailer if it's too cold.

"Love's Truck Stop Has Good Sweet Potato Pie" And The Cliff! Shiny Toy Guns! Parquet Courts!

Hello:

At McDonald's recently, a man asked the McDonald's employee if they had any sweet potato pie.
The cashier said they did not.
"Well, it must be only truck drivers that like sweet potato pie," the middle-aged man replied.
Then he said, "Love's truck stop has good sweet potato pie!"
Good to know!

Since it is a special music night, I am going to tell you about 3 excellent bands & their relevance:

The Cliff is a band I heard recently from Oak Cliff. Oak Cliff is located in Dallas, TX.
They are pretty much mostly a local band, and guess what? ALL members live in Oak Cliff.
How's that for authentic.

Shiny Toy Guns: I realized that there is a song by this band, called Le Disko, that I like.
The singer at the time the song was released, Carah Faye Charnow, is apparently no longer with the band.
But, their relevance is due to the fact that they will be at the House of Blues in Dallas on Feb. 13! At 8:00 p.m.!

Parquet Courts: A band apparently from Denton, TX. I watched the video whose link I share, and was skeptical, but then rapidly impressed. Go, Dentonites!

That's all for the special music night and three extremely relevant artists.

Also, there is a model--really, model and football player-- named Myles Crosby, allegedly from Colleyville, who I read about recently.

The End.
