What does a good idea taste like?

Do you feel that having Austin as a home base has been beneficial to the development of your career? I've spoken with bands from Austin who have told me that it helps being surrounded by such a rich music culture and others who complain about it being hard to stand out in such a saturated market.

Thank you for the extremely thoughtful and well-worded response. I share your sentiment on most every point (especially shitty old Bob Schneider). I see an emerging new group of musicians, many of whom you mentioned above, that are breaking the "Austin mold" and really striving for something more than "...a rehashed version of modern blues." That being said, as an Austinite who enjoys going to smaller shows, I still hear the same recycled garbage in 70% of the bars and venues around town. I feel like every crappy blues musician in the world treats Austin as the Mecca of the genre and thinks that, just because they're in Austin, the magic is bound to happen.
