Most people like lists. In fact, I’m working on a list of people who like lists. This week’s Phoenix celebrates its 30th birthday with several, including ‘Long Gone — 30 Things We Miss’. One entry is the Safari Lounge. Last show I saw there was To Live and Shave in LA, Andrew WK on drums. Happily the iconic Safari sign survived that show, the wrecker’s ball, the wrecker’s other ball, and a fire… and is enjoying a well-deserved retirement at The Hub on Brook Street.

Jeez. While Homeland Security is shutting out all the Brits, the least we could do is keep our own bands here. The staff over at the Phoenix managed to agree on a ‘Fifty States, Fifty Bands’ piece without firing a single shot. For each state they picked best all-time band, best solo artist, and best new band. I declare that they totally nailed Texas, particularly with the new band White Denim whom I have already been pushing in this space (video of ‘Mess Up Your Hair’).
The Phoenix staff recommends the song ‘Let’s Talk About It’… video after the break.
