First up, New Mexico's
The Shins with "Young Pilgrims" from their incredible second album
Chutes Too Narrow (
iTunes,
Amazon,
Other Music). They also have a new EP out, so look for that. Next up Dallas'
Cowboys and Indians with "Roly Poly" from a Dallas local music disc which is probably not findable unless you can go to a used shop in Dallas, called
Scene, Heard. You can
download the song as a 192k mp3 here, since you can't actually buy it. Then
Geggy Tah said 'thank you' with their song "Whoever You Are" from their 1996 semi-hit
Sacred Cow (
Amazon). And finally ultra-gay punk rockers
Pansy Division did "Cowboys are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other" from their album
Pile Up (
iTunes,
Amazon).
