By Austin Powell, 5:21PM, Wed. Jul. 27, 2011
Wanna get away? Don't fly Tiger Airways. Just ask Dale Watson. Better yet, listen to his account of dealing with the budget airline after a recent one-way trip in Australia in this hilarious, alternative Public Service Announcement. The full scoop's in tomorrow OTR.

Ripe “Yellow Phone”
The Ugly Beats meets Amplified Heat? That's an obvious tag-line given the Ripe's credentials, but it's a winning combination: 1960s power pop with serious classic rock muscle, captured by Austin Music Weekly.
Pure X “Easy”
Fresh off a glowing review in the New York Times proper – a feat not seen for a small, local indie band since Okkervil River's national break-out – Pure X dropped this Malcolm Elijah-directed video for “Easy,” a delirious, droney highlight from the new album, Pleasure.
