Anyone fortunate to be listening to "The Michael Berry" on KTRH 740 AM this past Friday night got to hear about an hour's worth of girl talk. No, Berry didn't change formats and start expressing his feminine side underneath his good ol' boy former city council member tandoori-chomping image. What we got to hear was a good hour of debate over who Berry and his callers thought were the most "smoking" female reporters in the television news game.Berry seemed to be salivating over the airwaves, usin
Each Wednesday, Rocks Off arbitrarily appoints one lucky local performer or group "Artist of the Week," bestowing upon them all the fame and grandeur such a lofty title implies. Know a band or artist that isn't awful? Email their particulars to introducingliston@gmail.com.
You know how occasionally you'll get a craving for a specific type of food? Like, sometimes we just wanna eat some orange Tic-Tacs, other times a cheesesteak from Philly Connection, etc, etc. We get like that with music s
Ann Curry drives me batshit crazy. Apparently, I'm not the only one. Google "Ann Curry annoying" or "Ann Curry awkward" and you'll be struck by the number of hits you get about how Today's news reader strikes fear and frustration in the hearts of hundreds...maybe thousands.

Have you seen that promo for KPRC news where Dominique Sachse and pals are wandering around a gigantic room, begging us to tell them what we want them to cover?I've been searching for it on YouTube with no luck, but I think you know the one. Bill Balleza and Dom and the whole crew want us to e-mail them, to stop them on the street, to let them know what we want them to cover...because it's our news program. US! The citizens of Houston! We own those bitches!And then there's all of this "Follow
Next week Britney Spears hits town for the second time in the past year, bringing her "The Circus Starring Britney Spears" tour back to town. Frankly we don't know why Brit needed to hit Houston one more time, but pardon the pun.
But anyhow, having Britney in town brings back a flood of memories, as it were. See, Rocks Off came of age at a time when she was just hitting MTV. At around 15 years of age or so, a young man's mind and hand become one and the same, like Luke Skywalker and his light s
