about the word writer person:

Lyle Brooks sometimes exists as The Flashbulb (IG:@flashbulbtx). Among a plethora of other cool things & happenings, Lyle has fetched water for John Cale, made copies for Morton Subotnick and once lit Jim Jarmusch's cigarette out in front of a Merzbow show. He has eaten Mexican food with Fungi Girls and Italian food with Yells at Eels and documented them both. Tho his vision comes and goes, we are pleased to report his ears are in working order. 

I Like This Song - Jacob Furr's "Taillights"

I Like This Song celebrates songs by local bands sans clichéd music journo over-analysis.

The furthest we take the dissection of songs featured here is, well, you guessed it: "I Like This Song." 

---

Today's featured song comes from Fort Worth singer/songwriter Jacob Furr's 2016 majestic full-length release Sierra Madre. 

"Taillights" tied with "El Paso" for the title belt of my favorite track off the record, but the Buffalo Nickel I flipped fated it to be as presented before you today.

Catch Furr and his full band in action tomorrow night at Magnolia Motor Lounge w/ Michael Lee & The Wartime Limousine. Show starts at 10PM, event details here.

The rumors are true, I like this song.

about the word writer person:

Prewitt Scott-Jackson writes Dad poetry & short fiction when he's not hyping and typing for Fort Worth Noise. His writing can be found in Ghost City Press (New York), Five 2 One Magazine (Los Angeles), Prairie Schooner (University of Nebraska Press) and Sick Lit Magazine (Texas), among others. He prefers short walks on the beach because – and I quote – “It’s really hard to walk on sand.”
