"THE FIRST DAY OF MAY, I WOULD SAY"

all music is local, we know, but here's a two-part mixtape featuring our favorite musicians from our neck of south texas. you'll hear musics as diverse as we are: indie rock, hiphop, electronica, punk, experimental, and more. (sorry, no tejano or metal included.) please link this to anybody who says 'the music in san antonio sucks'. also remember that one person who goes to shows around here is as crucial to the scene as one hundred people who go to shows in new york, chicago, or los angeles. y'all make a difference just by getting out of the house, paying the covers, buying some adult beverages, a c.d., a t-shirt; and if we all chip in, it's our expert opinion that we could seriously be as big as baltimore in no time. =P

our apologies to all the good acts we didn't get a chance to play - specifically, yes, inferno, bad breaks, the hawks (of the holy rosary), friends like us, henry + the invisibles, nicolette good, and blowing trees. in closing, here's a taste of the latter's brand spanking new album by way of a series of vignettes recorded when they performed their record in its entirety at jack's on the 6th day of may.
