What has caught the ear of the Texperts this week (3rd April)
Giant Drag- This Isn’t It: In the week that Annie Hardy asked fans to fund her making a new album (without a label), here is reason to reach deep into the pockets.
Les Savy Fav- Patty Lee: Thom bought their entire back catalogue when he was on holiday. “More people should do the same!”
Aerosmith-Crazy: We have no idea why Darren likes this video.
Lemonheads-It’s About Time: A great bit of early nineties Country Rock. Spotters badges for anyone who recognises who Evan Dando’s ladyfriend is in this video…
Portishead-Glory Box: We have been waiting a decade for new material, and “Third” finally arrives at the end of this month. Here is a classic.
NEU!- Hallogallo: In tribute to Klaus Dinger, who died this week, aged 61.
B-52’s- Private Idaho: REM aren’t the only Athens natives who have released a great new album this month. Here is an under appreciated classic (with a title Gus Van Sant borrowed for his own film of the same name)
Bonnie Prince Billy- Agnes, Queen of Sorrow: The king of alt-country!
The Pharcyde- Drop: A very cool song, and a very, very cool video.
Mclusky- She Will Only Bring You Happiness: A bit of a lost classic really.
The Wedding Present- Why Are You Being So Unreasonable Now: No reason really. Just that it is good.

In tribute to the man himself, I suggest you track down “Charlton Heston” by Stump. Anything that contains the lyric “lights, camel, action” can’t be too bad.
