Downtown Dallas To Get a Hi-Fi Listening Lounge Called Shyboy "The Sound That Makes You Feel"

Based on Japanese 'kissas,' the lounge beneath the Drakestone Apartments is designed for audiophiles.

“People want little record shops,. They want curation, and they want super niche [selections]. That’s, I think, what people really dig.”

Bummed to miss his show last night at the Longhorn Ballroom. His Twilight Override has been on heavy rotation in my car.

Looks like they encored with a cover of "God Save The Queen" in a nice nod to the Sex Pistols' legendary show at the Longhorn. Looking forward to seeing their Austin City Limits appearance tomorrow night at some point! 📺 🎵

Songs and stories celebrating the 50th anniversary of Willie Nelson's "Red Headed Stranger" ⏺️ 🎹 🎸

“[It] changed the relationship between songwriters & labels forever. We will always have a successful example to point to when the powers that be explain that our artistic vision for a record is not financially exploitable."

Going to the Peter Gabriel show tonight in Dallas. Haven't seen him since 1993 in a bullring in Spain. It was an amazing night. I don't go to as many concerts as I used to since being shoved down a flight of stairs at the Cotton Bowl. Looking fwd to "shed my skin" on the music this time. 🎤 🎸 🎼

Peter Gabriel plays Dallas tonight for first time in more than a decade.

Devastated to hear of the passing of Dallas record store owner Bucks Burnett. 🎶 ⏺️

Had the unique pleasure of meeting him last year at his 14 Records store on Garland Road. We could've talked all day.
