June 21, 2001Readers In Ireland Sadly Misinformed About Houston
You know the old saying – “any publicity is good publicity.” But might not some publicity be utterly pointless? We ask, because we have come across some that seems to be just that. Now ordinarily, a little blurb about your event in a paper like Dublin’s The Irish Independent would be a PR coup. After all, the 103-year-old paper is Ireland’s most widely-circulated daily newspaper. But why on earth would they be sending a shout-out to local alternative paper Free Press Houston’s

April 17, 1997Classic Rock Corner: Scott Gorham of Thin Lizzy Interviewed
www.getreadytorock.com Thin Lizzy's Phil Lynott (l) and Scott GorhamWhen L.A.-based guitarist Scott Gorham flew to England in the early '70s, he was just hoping to score an audition with the band his brother-in-law had joined, Supertramp. That gig never materialized, and after kicking around waiting for his temporary visa to expire, he ran across singer/bassist Phil Lynott and drummer Brian Downey of Thin Lizzy. The pair were looking to replace their former guitarist, Eric Bell, with not

December 31, 1998St. Patrick's Day Special: Ten Great Irish (Or Irish-American) Musicians and Bands
St. Patrick's Day is, well, today, so, rather than hit the pub to celebrate - which we'll probably still do, to be honest - we thought we'd put together a mixtape for you of our favorite Irish and Irish-American bands along with a favorite tracks by them. Pint of Guinness and shot of Jameson sold separately, but still mandatory. Thin Lizzy, "The Boys Are Back in Town": Though founded in Dublin in 1969, Thin Lizzy was as diverse in its lineup as it was in its influences. Frontman Phil Lynott
March 17, 2009St. Patrick's Day Special: Donohoe & Grimes' cover of Denis Leary's "Traditional Irish Folk Song"
Fun Fact: On November 21, 1920, Michael Collins' squad of fighters killed 14 British Army officers, police officers and civilians, wounding five. In retaliation, members of British paramilitary group "The Auxiliaries" drove their trucks into Dublin's Croke Park during a soccer match and began randomly shooting into the crowd. 65 people were wounded and 14 were killed, including Tipperary GAA team captain Michael Hogan. This became known as "Bloody Sunday," and was one of the earlier skirmishes i
March 17, 2009SXSW: Once More Into The Breach
By the time you read this, Rocks Off will be winding his way toward Austin for his 15th SXSW in the last 16 years. Every year he wonders if this is going to be it, if his feet, his fingers and/or his liver will finally up and say "Uncle!" He wouldn't blame them one single solitary bit. SXSW is like any other hangover - the older you get, the longer it takes to recover. But, deep down, he knows that's not going to happen. He'll probably be 65 wheeling his walker down Red River, with a regist

Imagine getting some pointers on the links from Tiger Woods, cooking lessons from Bobby Flay or a one-on-one session with Bernie Madoff where the infamous Wall Street financier explains how to bilk investors out of millions of dollars. When it comes to songwriting, especially of the Texas persuasion, Guy Clark is every bit a master in his field as those guys are in theirs, and in conjunction with Clark's forthcoming album Somedays the Song Writes You, his label Dualtone Records is giving away a
June 8, 2009Texas Traveler: Dr Pepper Texas
Photos by Robb WalshThis is the week that the "Dublin" signs on the highway are changed to read Dr Pepper, Texas. The 118th Dublin Dr Pepper Birthday Festival climaxes this weekend with an exciting schedule of events, including live music by Layne Golden and the 10-2-4 Band. There is a charity run and a kid's bike race on Saturday and free tours of the plant. Best of all, there's free Dr Pepper and birthday cake all day long. Saturday night's grand finale will feature a hot air balloon exhibit
June 12, 2009This Week In Deliciousness
Katharine Shilcutt ate all this chicken and did not save any for you.Welcome back to the weekly Eating Our Words round-up, where the food is well-prepared, plentiful and, more often than not, weird as all hell. To start with, Robb Walsh introduced us to the concept of a Wal-Mart supermercado, which might not go over as well as Wal-Mart is hoping, because the main competitor to the Hispanic-style Wal-Mart is the regular Wal-Mart. After some quick tacos and a tall, frosty mojito limonada, J

Lonesome Onry and Mean recently stopped wasting good notebook paper writing drafts of articles about Best in Texas Music Magazine. We were perusing the current issue and thinking about how bad it is when it suddenly dawned on us: the environmentally pure thing would be to write a column about it on the issue itself. Another little facet of LOM's continuing attempt at going green, you might say. When I floated a trial balloon of my new idea at our local watering hole, the usual suspects starte
August 31, 2009John Connolly Takes A Kid To The Gates Of Hell, Just For The Fun Of It
John Connolly, the Dublin-born author of Every Dead Thing and The Killing Kind, is in Houston today to promote The Gates, his new young adult title. While many of his adult novels are dark thrillers featuring ex-cop Charlie Parker, The Gates is a horror story with touches of comedy that features a small boy named Samuel Johnson. While making his trick-or-treat rounds, Samuel and his dog are unfortunate enough to see their neighbors accidentally open the gates to hell (let's just say it in
