• RIP Ron Asheton

  The Stooges, "No Fun" Stooges guitarist Ron Asheton, whose MC5-inspired gutter blues effectively laid the foundation for punk rock guitar, was found dead this morning in his Ann Arbor, Michigan, home, the Ann Arbor News reported. Asheton's personal assistant contacted Ann Arbor police after not hearing from him for several days, and police found him on his couch shortly after midnight. Detective Bill Stanford told the News Asheton had likely been dead for several days; foul play was not suspec

  Logo courtesy HLS&RThe Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo is coming to town this week, the sign that spring can't be far behind.We've promised ourselves for weeks that we would never, ever succumb to the "25 Random Things" meme, or phenomenon, or whatever it is, but we have received in the mail a notice from the federal government that all media outlets must publish at least one such list (Damn you Obama!!)So here are 25 Random Facts About the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo:1.

• Aftermath: Morrissey at Jones Hall

  Craig HlavatyTropical Storm Morrissey blew through Jones Hall Saturday night, leaving a full house of hyperventilated fans - never more so than when, during "Let Me Kiss You," he removed his shirt to reveal an enviable set of abs - and more than a few moist eyes in its wake; after the show, Aftermath looked around and saw several people sobbing in their seats, too overcome to exit immediately. Then there were the security minders who had to have been either bemused or annoyed&nb

• Slideshow: Albums Inspired by Literature

  It might not seem like it, but some musicians are actually pretty smart. And they read. Sometimes they'll even tackle a book or two and come away so inspired they have to translate it to their own medium. Iggy Pop's new Preliminaires is only the latest. Here, then, are some albums based on works of literature, so you can rock out instead of quietly scanning all those tiresome words.

• Aftermath: New York Dolls & Black Joe Lewis at the House Of Blues

  Photos by Daniel Kramer Aftermath is not going to purport to know what the New York Dolls were like live, in their Thundered and Killer-ed heyday of kitsch and campy kiss-offs. We weren't even in Pre-K when Buster Poindexter was singing "Hot Hot Hot" on Saturday Night Live. But for chrissakes, they couldn't have been this awkward and stunted. (Thanks, YouTube.) It can't be age, because folks like Mick Jagger and Iggy Pop are of an age when "one should know better" and they still look like

Lords of the Loop pay poetic tribute to Def Leppard via haiku. 29-95 takes a look at the Wild Moccasins' (above) tour diary. Exactly three weeks until the band plays Houston again, and we can't wait.

We Wore Masks screens her "See Fernando" video. Southern rap is still alive. Thankfully, Cocaine Blunts knows this, giving us H.A.W.K. and Z-Ro's "Diggin' the South." Houstonist remembers Dave Rask.

• He Said She Said: A Stripper Soundtrack

  Rocks Off has a naked lady fetish. It's shameful to admit. We really like seeing naked chicks. It's been something we have dealt with since we were four years old and started sneaking into the women's dressing room when our Mom would go clothes shopping. It's not so cute today, what with the beard and druid's cloak. Once we got older and were dominated by peer pressure, we found ourselves in some random strip club every few months or so. We soon found that our demanding musical tastes dictated

• Aftermath: Davila 666, Puerto Rican Garage Punk Badasses

  Craig Hlavaty ​ It's been a good while since Aftermath could be seen dancing in front of a band, let alone anywhere in public. Sure, there have been the stray moments at Boondocks where he shook his ass for the last thirty seconds of a Stones song, but that was pretty much it. Last night at Mango's, during Davila 666's nearly hour-long garage punk assault, not only was Aftermath dancing, he could also be seen hip-shaking and hand-clapping. It's hard to quantify exactly what it was about Davil

You know that certain part of the male anatomy all those soft-core porn stars are always talking about on those late night infomercials for boner pills? That one. Which got us to thinking, what about other rock star penii? We have h

• "My Son Is the Lizard King, and I'm an Admiral": Successful Rock-Star Parents

  ​Late Thursday, word came across the ticker that legendary comedian and TV star Soupy Sales had passed away at age 83. After a stint in the military and on radio, Sales went on to be one of the major pioneers of televised sketch and children's comedy. In 1965, he pulled a stunt where he asked his young viewers to go into their parents' wallets and purses and send him those "funny green pieces of paper with pictures of U.S. Presidents" in exchange for a postcard from Puerto Rico. The stunt didn

• Three Bassoons Walk Into a Bar...: The Near-Classical "Noncert" at Under the Volcano

  Photos by Chris Gray​ Under the Volcano does not feel like Under the Volcano. The TVs are off, so no more NBA on ESPN. Hayes Carll's Trouble In Mind has come and gone - in its entirety - on the jukebox, taking its bad livers, broken hearts and drunken poet's dreams with it... mostly. Earlier, a regular - appalled that there were actual music stands in the bar's small performance nook - asked Rocks Off if he should "mess with" the members of the Houston Symphony and other area orchestras settin
