The people of Austin are nice enough to welcome thousands (and thousands) of vagabond music fans into their city for a few days each year, so we decided to pay their stomping ground homage with a friendly game of Texas Music Triva. Keeping the music theme airtight, we had our friend Shea Hess ask a number of indie luminaries including Simian Mobile Disco, Wye Oak, YACHT, My Brightest Diamond, and the Ringers questions about the Lone Star state’s music history. Grab a Shiner and play along at home.
Best response: “True in the sense that it’s false.” Thank you, the Ringers.

what does dolly parton have to do with texas music?
so many more texas musicians/trivia that could have been asked.
dumb.
I appreciated the cute girl conducting the interview, good job stereogum.
God, I hate this new Stereogum. A fucking Yaris? Really?
That’s not at all how i thought Simian Mobile Disco looked
Yeah – I don’t want to pile on or be a hater or anything, but considering the rich musical legacy to come out of Texas you could’ve done better than this if you wanted to pay “homage”. Like, “Pavement mentioned Texas in a song once” doesn’t exactly stir my Texan blood with pride.
wow, a yaris is sooooo cool now. i’m going to go buy one because i saw it on a web log. thanks toyota
