Hello fellow Coogs, The news of The Rice administration’s unethical attempted sale of KTRU has largely dominated discussion here in Houston. For myself, a University of Houston graduate, this leaves me with a particular sense of responsibility as it is my University who is the intended recipient of KTRU’s license. The University of Houston, as many of [...] Tony and Carol Dale I guess I should have been reading the updates on Caring Bridge, but I stopped doing that. I stopped doing that because it was too upsetting. Like as if somehow, if I didn’t read them, things would change but then an e-mail appeared the other day on Terrascura from Tony announcing that [...] OK, I’m going to try to be very narrow in my critique here as I generally don’t like to rag on stuff in my writing. So, let’s just right-off-the-bat start with the qualifier that I’m going to skirt the issue of the aesthetic value of the particular bands in the video below. Let’s assume [...] 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.

Much love to my friend in San Fransisco who was good enough to respond to my text teases for being lame and not being [...] While blogs and print give us various options, let’s face it the most influential arts paper in town given print runs and readership is likely the Houston Press and Houston music fans have always had a testy relationship with its music writers. We’ve been cursed with the all time worst music writer Anthony Mariani who [...] Oh SXSW! Where else can I start the evening listening to the majestic music of Jandek and close with the happy happy joy joy pop of Matt and Kim? Here is the deal. My band gets to play an official showcase and we accept fully expecting to play to near nobody (we were [...] Hey guys. I’m really hungover and I need a bath so here are lks to my free press blogs on SXSW. I’ll have some commentary here when I have a chance but until then… DAY 1 DAY 2 DAY 3 DAY 4 (added [...] Well one week from today I will be blogging from SXSW. Yeah, we got accepted. That means this week I am doing nothing but what all the other musical “luminaries” will be doing next week – fretting. And so begins the SXSW ritual. Make no mistake of it SXSW is a blast, [...] |
