• Saving Country Music Rides to Rocks Off's Aid

  TK's atomic mullet is no match for Rocks Off and Saving Country Music's poison pens.This has been a fun week down in the Rocks Off foxhole, as Toby Keith's loyal minions have besieged us with comments taking issue with our review of the Big Dog Daddy's lackluster RodeoHouston performance Wednesday. (Come on, guys, we did say the guitar work on "Stranglehold" was pretty badass.) They even enlisted the flacks at CMT to help assail our defenses. Now, like the cavalry in some John Ford Wester

• $7 at Bubba's Texas Burger Shack

  Photo by Paul KnightWhere: Bubba's Texas Burger Shack, 5230 Westpark Dr., 713-661-1622 What $7 gets you: Your pick from ten burgers made with beef or buffalo. Bubba's has a long list of other menu items, like a bowl of chili or patty melt, but it's no chili shack. Any place that has "Bubba's," "Texas" and "Burger Shack" in its name, along with a location that's pretty much underneath a highway interchange, makes us wonder, What the hell goes on in there? The "shack" part is not a joke, and w

• MP3 of the Day: Sean Reefer & the Resin Valley Boys

  As if Wednesday night's drunken, surly and bearded Clutch show wasn't enough for the House Of Blues staff, tonight they get to rassle with the musical stylings of one David Allan Coe, openers 1100 Springs and Sean Reefer & The Resin Valley Boys. Long a fixture on the Houston honky-tonk scene, Reefer and the Resins' odes to marijuana, cocaine, whiskey, pills and No-Doz are the stuff of local legend. Never before have we encountered such a weed-tastic group of pickers since that old red-headed

• Aftermath: David Allan Coe at House of Blues

  Chris Gray David Allan Coe will hang around as long as you will let him. And he wrote "Take This Job and Shove It." Although it was a little hard to get past the sheer sight of him - the grizzly offspring of Gregg Allman and one of Dr. Teeth's band from The Muppet Show, maybe - he wasn't getting paid to look pretty at House of Blues Thursday night. He rushed "You Never Even Called Me by My Name" about halfway through well over an hour of his songs ("Willie, Waylon and Me," "If That Ain't Country

• Lonesome Onry and Mean: My Son, the Guitar-Slinger

  William Michael SmithLance Smith (left) and Mike Stinson​ LOM grew up in the oil patch, made a good living in it, saw the world because of it. So it made sense to want our son, Lance, to grow up to be a petroleum engineer. Alas, it was not to be. Now he's a guitar player. Two years into the petroleum engineering program at University of Houston, LOM and the wife pulled the plug on Lance's financing. The logic? Exxon doesn't hire engineers with C averages who majored in frat party and skirt-cha

• He Said She Said: Songs Guaranteed to Offend the Opposite Sex

  Chicks, man. Can't live with them, can't play music that objectifies them while in the car on the first date. What's up with that? You play one song with the queen mother c-word in it and she leaves the car before we get our complimentary paper crowns. We compiled a list of songs guaranteed to offend the lady in your life, especially if she's a prude or, ya know, has a degree in something or other. We never asked what it was in because right before we were going to, the DJ started playing "Warm

• Sorry Dave, We Had To: Top Ten Songs to Listen to While Having Sex With Co-Workers

  If The Late Show with David Letterman hasn't seemed very funny lately, it's probably because Dave has been spending more time apologizing for banging his subordinates than he has making fun of Paul Shaffer. Admittedly, it was a bold move: coming forward and confessing his past missteps in order to expose the extortion attempt against him. Then again, the guy blackmailing him tried to cash a $2 million check; obviously we're not dealing with Professor Moriarty. In the spirit of Letterman's most
