Well I guess I’m filling-in this week as well but I don’t have very much to add as I haven’t gone to any shows or bought any music in the last week. I can say that I did manage to masterfully cut my index finger while trying to close a Swiss Army Knife last week. [...] It’s been, to say the least, a very strange week here in Houston. I could go into a lot of it but let’s just stick to the one that confused the fuck out of many a serious music fan out there and that was the Jandek show at Rudyard’s a bit more than a [...] Good morrow. it is 4:24am and I just got back from my requisite Menil walk which as many know is my way of walking off the booze when I’ve had too much.

Make no mistake of it SXSW is a [...] “Merry Christmas/It’s April/I bought you a deadbolt” Welcome to the world of Jenny Westbury who’ve I’d long admired and whose CDR has been spinning endlessly from computer to my headphones. It’s 30 tracks of clever wordplay, effortless and expressive vocals, and addictive melodies. I’d run into Westbury at a show at the Proletariat [...] There was never a more under-appreciated vocalist than the great Heino. I own about 5 Heino records and am always impressed by their singular quality. Nothing quite has been able to approach that Heino sound – that golden tenor. Perhaps Heino is under-appreciated here in the States because he is too [...] Ever have some records that you know are uncool to really really like?
