Garrett T. Capps will bring "I Still Love San Antone" over to Europe

San Antonio is by far the most musical city in Texas. Many of y’all might not be aware of this fact, because you’ve got to lift the rug to find the good stuff – conjunto at the ice house, country western made for two-stepping, Mexican American heavy metal, space jazz, lowdown and jump blues, freestyling rap en espanol, mega horn sections, high school mariachis, western swing, the Sir Douglas Quintet and the “First Integrated Nightclub in the South.”

Keep Austin Weird was once the motto of the neighboring city up the road. But when it comes to music, SA was always the place for the weird sounds.

Garrett T. Capps understands this better than just about anyone. He also knows that trying to explain the meaning of “Breakfast Tacos with Satan” to people outside the 210 area code is a fool’s errand, so he just lays it all out right in front of you to figure out.

All the icons of the provincial capital of South Texas are here: 
HEB, the greatest grocer in the world; Bongo Joe, the offbeat beats master and street rapper; Fiesta, the city’s annual spring blowout that makes New Orleans look tame; Tex-Mex accordionist Santiago Jiménez Jr.; “If it bleeds, it leads” local TV news; the endless suburban strip known as De Zavala Road; heavy metal radio maestro Joe Anthony; Capps’ own history of how SA became the Heavy Metal Capital of the World; the mistreatment of Shamu, set to a truck-driving rhythm; and the little-loved Alamodome “where Selena sang ‘Como la Flor’ and the Spurs won their first ring".

I don’t know about the “still” part of I Still Love San Antone, because when did Garrett T. ever not love the city of the Alamo(dome)?
