Music Paste lists '12 Arkansas bands you should listen to now'

Posted by Lindsey Millar on Wed, May 16, 2012 at 2:50 PM

Stupid, lazy lede ("I know what you’re thinking: 'Music from Arkansas? It’s got to be just a bunch of hillbillies singing through toothless mouths and stomping bare feet.') aside, it's a pretty solid list that includes a lot of bands the Times has championed: 2012 Musicians Showcase winners The Holy Shakes, 2010 winners Brother Andy and His Big Damn Mouth, Bonnie Montgomery. Huge omissions: Tyrannosaurus Chicken, Velvet Kente (Amasa Hines makes the cut), 607, Rwake, Iron Tongue, The See. Also folks who've been doing it for a minute: Isaac Alexander, The Boondogs, Kevin Kerby, The Salty Dogs, Greg Spradlin. Etc.

Who else?

The best speech of the legislative session

The Arkansas House didn't heed Rep. Deborah Ferguson's stirring call to, for once, "stand on the right side of civil rights" (past examples she cited — slavery, early opposition to women's rights, seg laws). On a voice vote, the House approved a resolution reaffirming Arkansas's constitutional ban on same-sex marriage and supporting the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
