Maybe. Nothing's set in stone, but according to this Morning News report of last night's City Council meeting on the Trinity River project, Stevie Ray's name made it onto the list of 10 possible names for the new road. The full list?

•Ascension Drive
•Cesar Chavez Boulevard
•Eddie Bernice Johnson Parkway
•Post Industrial Boulevard
•Riverfront Boulevard
•Stanley Marcus Boulevard
•Stevie Ray Vaughn Vaughan Boulevard
•Trinity Lakes Boulevard
•Trinity View Parkway
•Waterfront Boulevard

I think you've gotta go with Stevie Ray given these options--although I'm sure the city's salivating at the thought of selling property on the sure-to-be highfalutin Waterfront Boulevard... --Pete Freedman

Gossip site Showbiz Spy quotes the June issue of Glamour, revealing that Jessica Simpson is not only "in love" with Tony Romo--she's written a song for her man.

The song's called "Back in My Old Boots," and apparently it's about how "comfortable" Romo makes her feel...

Interesting.

Of course, this isn't the first time Jess has written a track for her beau of the moment. Remember this track? Had a very similar theme, didn't it? That worked out well for her, right?

Oh, and in other Showbiz Spy-Simpson family news, the site also has a fairly unsubstantiated report that Ashlee and her beau Pete Wentz, bass player for Fall Out Boy, might star in a new version of Jess' MTV show with Nick Lachey, Newlyweds.

This family really doesn't learn from past mistakes, does it? --Pete Freedman

Even though this post from our sister paper in Minneapolis purports to be about salvia and whether it's a good idea to smoke the marijuana alternative while attending a Roger Waters show (specifically in Dallas, oddly enough), the whole thing seems more like a slap in our city's face than anything else.

Apparently, "Dallas is to bad vibes as Los Angeles is to superficiality."

Aw, thanks, guys! --Pete Freedman

Dallas-born jazz clarinet and saxophone player Jimmy Giuffre died late last week on Thursday, April 24, of pneumonia and complications of Parkinson's disease.

After learning to play the clarinet at the age of 9, Giuffre began performing in local bands. Later Giuffre was drawn into the big band world and eventually transitioned into jazz music with his self--named trio, with which he earned acclaim as an "adventurous" jazz composer and arranger. In his later years, Giuffre served as an instructor and teacher at New York University, Rutgers University and the New England Conservatory of Music.

The 86-year-old musician died just two days shy of his 87th birthday. --Pete Freedman

Get your morning music fix with this video of Phil Pritchett playing at the Granada last Saturday. We had other plans that night. If you did, too, now you know what you missed. -- Chelsea Ide

See, it is about who you know: When the (pretty kickass) independent hip-hop label Definitive Jux--home to El-P, Aesop Rock, Dizzee Rascal, Del The Funkee Homosapien, RJD2, Mr. Lif and more--was looking for a DJ to remix the recently released album from rap trio Hangar 18, local DJ and beatmaker Rob Viktum was tapped to do the job. Mostly, according to the label's site, because Viktum and the H18 guys have been "friends...for a couple of years now."

Just released last week, Viktum's remix of Hangar 18's Sweep the Leg is a nice effort, one that really displays his talents--impressively, it sounds almost nothing like the original disc (which only really had one solid track on it by my count). But Viktum's efforts only add so much to the fun, but average, album; the disc is still pretty mediocre.

Although there is one nice perk: Def Jux is giving that sucker away for free. And that makes the whole thing a heckuva lot cooler. --Pete Freedman

Tiger Moth's Myspace picture: neither a tiger nor a moth. Go figure.

Glenn Jackson, drummer for local rockers Tiger Moth, cannot believe the positive buzz his band is already generating.

“We are only five shows old, but the most common response from the crowd has been, ‘Holy shit!’,” says Jackson.

Along with brother Derek, Glenn was a part of Until They Arrive, a rather somber unit that broke up late last year. But the brothers decided to form a new band and turn up the volume.

“We both wanted to do something a little more rock 'n' roll, so we disbanded and started searching for a new singer,” says Jackson.

That singer turned out to be one Cheyenne Schweitzer, a 27-year-old Bible college dropout. (“We came across Cheyenne through a Myspace ad,” explains Jackson.) Completing the quartet was Ross Boyd, a bassist formerly involved with Chacka, Breaker and Magnificent Butcher.

Tiger Moth’s debut EP, which does a great job representing the band’s sweaty and solid stage show, was issued this month (the band is already recording a new single) and its CD release show at Dada this past weekend was enthusiastically received. Influences as diverse as Prince, Radiohead and even Led Zeppelin are mixed and cajoled in just the right ways, creating a sound that is refreshingly innovative.

“This is the best band I’ve been in,” says Jackson. “We definitely push each other.” --Darryl Smyers

Talk about an earful! Zing!!!

Pitchfork's kinda been all over Japanese noise rock act Boris' new release, Smile, which is released stateside today. And Josh Baish of Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios in Denton keeps finding himself mentioned in the copy.

Why?

Well, the story goes like this: Baish went to a Boris show in Marfa, got into a tussle, had a piece of his ear chewed off by an assailant, and, in turn, lost the ear. Later, when Boris was putting away its gear, band members found Baish's missing flesh. And then they kinda sorta wrote a song about it. Seriously. True story.

Only now, the band seems kinda sick of talking about it:

Hey Speedealer: Looks like you're owed some money.

Well, you and thousands of other artists, according to this story. A Nashville-based entertainment lawyer says he's got a list of 7,874 artists that are owed money from Sound Exchange, a company that's supposed to collect royalties for artists, but claims it can't find the folks it has to pay.

Check the list. Your band could be on there, too. --Pete Freedman

...just by going to the band's web site. You have all week. --Pete Freedman
