  9. A lil’ ol’ Western Space Grunge band from Abilene, Texas

    Oh my Goodness! If you have not heard the song Ritalin by Dexter and the Moonrocks, you have not heard one of the most impressive and poignant rock songs about drug dependency in many, many years. Add to that, a truly innovative music video concept and you have all the ingredients for a mega hit! Ritalin is currently sitting at #8 on iHeart.com’s Alternative Top 40 music chart here in the states.

    Hailing from the windswept plains of Abilene, Texas, a land of dust, dirt, oil, cattle, and tornadoes, Dexter and the Moonrocks may be the best rock band you have not heard of…at least YET! Their music, described as “Western Space Grunge,” is catchy, cathartic, well-written, and oh, oh, oh, so good.

    “…blending the country and western of their childhoods with the grunge they fell in love with as teenagers. That fusion became Western Space Grunge…”

    Just check out the live performance video provided below (NSFW for language) or many more through links to YouTube and you will be instantly hooked.

    https://youtu.be/MS0ZB29zWO8?si=rHwb8q5mI-NQPWII

    This foursome puts their heart and soul into their special West Texas brand of music. Great songs like Ritalin (be sure to check this official video link on YouTube), Sarahtonin, Happy to Be Here, Sad in Carolina (which hit # l in late 2024), and She Likes Girls are all truly infectious and noteworthy tracks. And who’s going to ever forget the band’s unique name – born in part from a love of the classic cartoon, Dexter’s Laboratory.

    The band’s music reflects the struggles, the grit, and the determination of those who must fight every day to make ends meet. And these guys should know — prior to becoming a successful band they worked as a fry cook, an oil field operator, a concrete surface decorator and a kids’ baseball coach. What’s more real than that?

    Check out Dexter and the Moonrocks on their YouTube channel, on streaming services, on the radio, or better yet, at a live show near you. Peace!

  12. Last year (2023), #Abilene saw an incredible 42 days at or above 40C. For the entire time I lived there (2004-2008), only four days met or exceeded 40C.

  14. #ClimateChange is being felt in the #Texas Big Country where extreme heat is becoming more common.

    In #Abilene, highs at or above 40C used to be fairly rare.

    In the 1900s, only four years produced 10+ days with highs at or above 40C. Not a single year had 20 or more such days.

    Since 2000, six years have produced 10+ days that hot incl. three years with 20+ days.

    Abilene is currently in a #HeatWave that will bring 2024 above 10 days. Not sure if they'll hit 20 again.

  18. So, out of all the potentially "offensive" material in this book (like a feminist witch who becomes a leader) , the "censor" decides that mention of the words "goddammit", "Jesus Christ," "Christ Jesus” and "Christ" were the most offensive. I wonder if the person only knew how to read those particular words. I feel bad for the #Abilene #PublicLibrary in #AbileneTexas -- they must have to deal with some real choice humans (I'm being sarcastic)!
