• Eyeballin': A Technicolor Dream

  This documentary, originally broadcast on BBC television, traces the coalition of the "underground" movement in swinging '60s London. Beginning with a groundbreaking 1965 gathering/reading of the Beat poets at the Royal Albert Hall and following with the opening of the Indica bookstore and gallery, the London Free School, the revival of the Notting Hill Carnival, and publication of the first issues of the newspaper International Times, it all culminated in "The 14-hour Technicolor Dream."

• Aftermath Extra: The Best Concerts of the Year, Part 2

  Gram Rabbit, Super Happy Fun Land, January 31: "Gram Rabbit is the face of 21st century glam; denser than Scissor Sisters and more fun than Ladytron. If everyone who heard Roxy Music got these sorts of ideas, the world would be a vastly better place." (Chris Henderson) Over the Rhine, McGonigel's Mucky Duck, February 6: "Tempting the gods, [Karin] Bergquist segued into one of historic Cincinnati label King Records's most notable hits, 'Fever.' This could have easily become a cliché in less

• Aftermath Extra: The Best Concerts of the Year, Part 9

  [Note: This is the final installment of Aftermath's survey of memorable 2008 concerts - the ones he attended and reviewed (mostly, but not always, by him) anyway; kudos to Valient Thorr, Ice Cube, Dr. Dog, Son Volt, Journey/Heart, Wilderness, the HPMA showcase and many others. Don't miss parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, and here's hoping 2009 is as bountiful.] Black Crowes, House of Blues, November 20: "Of course, the Black Crowes are a band for whom no two set lists

• H-Town Hangman Addendum: Blaggards Prize Still Unclaimed

  Photo by Jay Lee Blaggards frontman Patrick DevlinWell, despite being so easy Bob Ruggiero a caveman could do it, it appears as if the world premiere of H-Town Hangman still couldn't manage to deliver on the prize front. Or, rather, the first Hangman winner didn't stick around long enough to claim his(?) spoils. Rocks Off is a good sport, though, and the Blaggards really want to give away some shit, so we're going to give this a second go. Same deal as last time - leave your answers in t

• Last Call For Art: Circuses And Murderous Old Ladies

   Who knew Houston was such a big circus town? Along with a couple of plays closing this weekend, a trio of circuses are folding their tents (so to speak). If you can only see one show this weekend, make it Rêver by Sol y Luna Dance Company. Speaking with us, Soly y Luna's Artistic Director Reyie Delgado said, "I wanted to unite the circus world with the dance world, and this is what happened. When you go to the circus, you see one act and then another. We wanted to erase that. And w
