What's the Deal with Denton, Texas?

Why is it that I keep finding bands that I like from Denton, Texas? The place is only about 100,000 people, and it keeps producing good music.

First Midlake, and now The Marked Men.

I wonder if Bloomington-Normal will ever produce a band.

Probably not.

What about Backyard Tire Fire? I like those guys.

I stand corrected.

Backyard Tire Fire is a B/N band.

But after listening to the stuff on their MySpace page, I say, "meh."

Sounds like flaccid, garden-variety alt.country to me.
