• Lost Tuneage: The Frost

  Who Dat? Formed in Detroit in 1967 - first as the New Bossmen, then Dick Wagner and the Frosts, the band included leader Dick Wagner (vocals/guitar, above), Donny Hartman (vocals/guitar), Jack Smolski (bass) and Bob Rigg (drums). They released two singles. By the next year, Gordy Garris had replaced Smolski on bass/vocals, for its 1969 debut LP, Frost Music. The Frost's sound combined hard rock, psychedelia, catchy pop-chorus hooks and the occasional ballad. Material included s

• OK, Maybe the Eagle Does Play Some Black People

  As we usually do when we get into work, Rocks Off tuned into Dean & Rog on the Eagle and lo and behold, they were talking about our suggestions to improve the station we posted here Tuesday. D&R especially seemed to enjoy the part where we said it wouldn't kill the Eagle to play some more people of color - if you missed this morning's show, it was probably your only chance to hear Lou Rawls and Gladys Knight & the Pips on the station, like, ever. In the interest of fairness, Rocks Of

  [Ed. Note: While we were off watching Night Ranger videos or something - which should tell you all you need to know about our own sex life at the moment - Rocks Off No. 2, Craig Hlavaty, and Web Editor Katharine Shilcutt started going back and forth about how men and women want to hear very different things while making sweet, sweet love. Rocks Off decided there's only one real way to settle this. As always, ladies first.] Take it from a woman: We do not want to hear Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get

• An Exercise In Pain: Six Songs of Radio Phil Collins

  John Seaborn Gray​ Inspired by Seanbaby's wonderful article using Pandora via Phil Collins as musical gaydar, Rocks Off logged on to our Last.fm account to see where a similar journey with the Genesis drummer and noted Texas history buff might take us. After all, it's not really scientific unless you can repeat the results, right? Last.fm is different from Pandora: it doesn't ask for your favorite song, but your favorite artist, after which it will play one song by that artist, and then a bunc

• "Kill Yourself" or "Don't Give Up"? Five Possible Theme Songs for the 2009 Houston Texans

  [Ed. note: Due to an editing mistake, this should have been up Friday afternoon. Apologies... we sure hope it didn't jinx the Texans or anything.] ​You may have missed it - what with there being almost no media coverage whatsoever - but football season started this week. Our own Texans are looking to improve on two consecutive .500 seasons and bring Houston one step closer to a championship in a sport that isn't basketball, soccer, or minor league hockey. Because apparently none of those count

• Live From ACL: Buckets of Rain, and a Bright Spot or Two

  Photos by Chris GrayThis photo was NOT taken Saturday. Trust us.​ The streak is over. In eight years, Austin City Limits has seen plenty of days of unbearable heat, but hardly any rain. The most significant time was during Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers' headlining 2006 set, but even that was more of a lighting show than an actual shower.All that ended Saturday, to spectacular (and disgusting) effect. It started raining in Austin before noon, but the heavens really opened up around 3 p.m.,
