Comment:

This mix is coming on the heels of a couple of much better(and probably more comprehensive) Texas band mixes. A Day late is better than not at all I guess. Here Goes. By The Way I REALLY want to put a track from a defunct Houston band called Crazy Killed Mingus on here and I can't find my tape, If anybody on here could help me I would appreciate it!

You must be from Austin, because there's only ONE Denton band (Lift) on the mix! Still, I like it. Burden Brothers! Fort Worth forever.

Houston actually, so I am pretty isolated from local music from around the state. Bands tend to make the DFW/Austin/San Antonio Loop and avoid Houston all together. It's hard to make a name for yourself in a state that it takes days to get across.

Hey, but H-Town has all those Dirty South Rappers!

BTW, nice touch putting Eyes of Texas on there. I once slapped together a mix for a road trip to Big Bend (about 9 hours) and included that. I don't know where that disc is now, but it had George Jones' "You Can't Get The Hell Out Of Texas" on it.

Dude theres like a billion sweet bands from Texass not on here. Chomsky, Daryl, Weener (if you like covers, which I do), but who am I to judge. I hate Texass, and I suck at making mixed tapes.
so never mind.
I do like the mix, either way.
