My Babe Walk, Nikki, and Party Trash by Weird Tapes (available free direct from the artist's blog)
Postcard - Texas (The fabulous 90s pop band from Scotland who enjoyed success in Europe but not much here in the USA - named after some movie about Paris, Texas - a nice groover, but not considered a standout Texas track - A stand out track would be "Say What You Want", which has been played on this station a lot -- the extremely good live version found on the "Texas, Paris" DVD. Their music is very fun to listen to, especially vocalist Sharleen Spiteri.)
