- KUT
Forget what you think Texas music sounds like. From indie-rock innovators like Austin's White Denim and the Grammy-nominated bluegrass debutante Sarah Jarosz to Prince's favorite funkmasters Brownout and 'chill-wave' buzz band Neon Indian, the music coming out of Texas is shaking up the blogosphere and drawing international media attention. Discover for yourself what the buzz is about in this hourlong exploration of the best new sounds from 2009 and what's on deck for 2010 (a little more Spoon, anyone?). David Brown hosts. Happy New Year from your friends at KUT's music journalism unit 'Texas Music Matters'!
