Denton, TX

Denton, apparently, has a pretty cool music scene:

At last count, more than 100 bands were polishing their sound in the city’s dive bars, rooftop spaces and fraternity basements. Even the local record store, a converted opera house called Recycled, has a section devoted to Denton bands. The bin dividers read like a Lollapalooza T-shirt: Lift to Experience, Centro-matic, Jetscreamer, Vortexas, Robert Gomez, Stanton Meadowdale, Mom, Mandarin, and Matthew and the Arrogant Sea, to name just a few.

I had no idea.

    Could’a told you, Andrew–I work across the street from some of those bars, and a few blocks away from Recycled Books and Records. I think the music department at UNT has about the best program in the school.

    No kidding. I’ll have to make it down there one of these days.
