I went to the other orange-and-white UT, in Austin – while there, I sent off for a 'zine from Knoxville’s UT called The Lame Monkey Manifesto. Good stuff.
A few years after that – right around the time Zima became popular – there happened to be a small Knoxville diaspora in Austin, centered around the band Hominybob (two members of which were later in Drums & Tuba). I see some good soul has put their cassette online:
Not sure Lame Monkey or Hominybob will ring familiar to you… More recently, having finally at least driven thru Knoxville, I’ve had the pleasure and good fortune of eating shawarma and falafel from Yassin’s.
Anyway – before White Claw and Zima, we had (and, I suppose, we still have) wine coolers.
