How long before Dallas is a thing of Jaffe's past? (Allison V. Smith)

And so it begins, I guess. A few weeks back, when we told you about Sarah Jaffe's incredible new EP, and, specifically, about the stunning title track "Even Born Again", we warned you this might happen.

Well, now the national accolades are starting pour in. Jaffe, who the New York Times already (lazily) compared to Norah Jones, is now getting praise from another beacon of all things intelligent and forward-thinking: National Public Radio. Today, Jaffe's "Even Born Again" was tapped as NPR's Song of the Day--a nice little prize that nets Jaffe both a write-up and a front-page icon on NPR's site.

Congrats to the fast-rising clean-up DOMA winner, who'll surely be playing to a uncomfortably packed house tonight as she, Austin's phenomenal Brothers & Sisters and Fort Worth's devastatingly underappreciated Telegraph Canyon take to The Cavern's stage. --Pete Freedman

Telegraph Canyon is one of the best bands in the Metroplex right now, hands down. Great live show too.

That's weird. When other artists get this kind of acclaim, you question it. Looks like the observer's letting politics guide their hand now. What a shame.

ok, i'll bite: who in town is getting this kind of acclaim?

Is it a law or something that you guys at We Shot JR have to be completely unpleasant douchebags all the time? I hate to break it to you, but you're not as cool as you think you are. The fact that you revel in your indier-than-thou shtick proves as much. Oh, and the fact you're just douchebags.

Get over yourselves, already.

Now let's see some more Dallas/Denton/Fort Worth artists in USA Today. If mainstream is what you're going for, go all the way:
