Props to Gaston Avenue on Astronautalis CD?

astro3.jpgOn the indie/alt-rap/experimental pop artist's 2005 disc, You and Yer Good Ideas, there's a track called "Gaston Ave," as in Dallas' fair eclectic avenue to the northeast of downtown. The lyrics are pretty abstract, so it's not like there's a big shout-out to Astro's east side homies on it or anything else very Gaston-y. But Quick's local music man Hunter Hauk told me that when he interviewed Astronautalis (real name: Andy Bothwell) back in the day, the artist told him about how he used to live in the Gaston area, and about how he'd walk to Lakewood Landing and such. Hmm.

The Florida native has shown some love for his old hood by making his new CD, Pomegranate, here in Dallas. Hunter writes a bit about the CD here. Check out "Gaston Ave" and other tracks on the artist's Myspace page.

Gaston Avenue was on Astronautalis' first album - "You and Your Good Ideas" not on the new album "Pomegranate".

You are absolutely right. Thanks for the correction!
