November 12, 2008Tonight: Gentleman Auction House at Rudyard's
Lauren Winchester Within about 20 seconds of "A Banner Year," the opener of Gentleman Auction House's new Christmas In Love EP, the St. Louis indie-pop hydra has managed to recall Belle & Sebastian, Arcade Fire and another dozen or so boy-girl bands that are equally earnest and invigorating. In words, the seven-piece's (though only two play on this song) Velvet Underground/Yo La Tengo fuzz-candy is pretty damn addictive. In declaring themselves too cool to celebrate Christmas, people unde
December 10, 2008Top Ten Dance Collections of 2008, Both Mixed and Unmixed
Any knucklehead with DSL and a laptop can now make an electronic track. With a half hour of clicking and fiddling, you can sample enough cheesy beats and mashups to clog arteries from here to Berlin. Simple dropdown mouse maneuvers can transform electro tracks into progressive house tracks (from dry and synthetic to wet and gushy), rhythm tracks can be tempo-tweaked with an upward toggle to change a Timbaland beat into a Chromeo one. Add some T-Pain-esque pitch-correction vocals to your between-

June 11, 2009Aftermath: David Byrne at Jones Hall
Photos by Craig Hlavaty David Byrne knows about living in the moment. The white-haired former Talking Heads frontman and unofficial U.S. ambassador for Third World pop, whose hair was as white as his (and his band's) wardrobe, was a genial host at Jones Hall Monday night. "It's nice to be in Mr. Jesse Jones' hall," he said shortly after walking onstage. "I was reading up about Jesse Jones, but I have some more reading to do." After making that stale joke about how New Yorkers pronounce "Houston"
June 16, 2009The Big Tweet: Special David Byrne Edition
Craig HlavatyRocks Off was hardly the only one who enjoyed David Byrne's show Monday night at Jones Hall. His eclectic, polyglot post-punk/funk presentation brought out all sorts of Twitterers, or those who wished they were there... @CodyScott: "Wilco tonight. Though I think I'd rather be at David Byrne. Jealous." sorch1: "I feel like I know half of the people at the David Byrne show and the other half is batshit insane." kingofgrief: "Waiting on David Byrne from the 2nd row of Jones Hall. Hopef
June 16, 2009Aftermath: Santigold at House of Blues
Photos by Kim Douglass Puff-paint, splatter-paint, welcome to the hospital - the sterility of a trash heap greets you. Santigold = the moment hipster-embraced globalism became a commodity, and why globalism doesn't matter anymore; i.e., we're all the same. Seeing her at House of Blues is like trying to wash away your sins with a loofah made of mud-splattered porcupine. Is this some kind of joke? It's Socrates on the set of 90210, papier-mache pigs flying in a platinum-dipped sky.
June 18, 2009David Byrne Mystified by Houston's Sprawl, Loves Jones Hall
Craig HlavatyYesterday one of our readers (thanks, Mimi!) posted a comment with a link to David Byrne's blog about the white-haired world-pop eminence's thoughts and experiences while on tour. Apparently Byrne got to spend quite a bit of time in Houston, because the entry surrounding his (excellent) June 15 Jones Hall show is fairly long. Byrne, who took a bike ride around downtown and what sounds like the Fourth Ward/Upper Montrose area shortly after his bus pulled up to Jones Ha
June 25, 2009David Byrne Bikes Houston
Photo by Craig HlavatyFormer Talking Head David Byrne (we're nor sure, but we're guessing he hates that description) was in town recently for a show at Jones Hall.Byrne has become a biking fanatic these days; he's also an occasional diarist about his tour.His piece on Houston has him complaining about the heat (he's not alone), the architecture and the fact that oil companies have designed the place. Woke up on the bus and looked out the lounge window onto a parking lot with a few cars evenly sp
June 25, 2009He Said She Said: Songs from the Year We Were Born That We Still Listen To
Yes, we are older than MTV. Shut up.The thing that struck She Said most when researching this list of songs that came out the year we were born (May 1980) was just how much of this music we regularly listen to now. 1980 marked the end of disco, the middle of New Wave and punk, and a damn good time for country music and mopey Brit-rockers. Reagan was about to become president, Communism would fall before we turned 10 years old, and most albums were still released with an A side and a B side. M
