  [Update: Rocks Off has learned Cooper had a congenital defect that enlarged his heart. See the comments section for information on the July 10 memorial show at Walter's on Washington.] Word has come through the Houston music world that we have lost yet another young musician. Details are very few and far between but we have learned that guitarist Frankie Cooper of Houston horrorcore giants Grave Robbers passed away last week. He was 23 years old. Formed almost four years ago, Grave Robbers have

Single of the Week: Chamillionaire feat. Z-Ro, "Denzel Washington" Wire To Wire Slim Thugga cut off his braids. Not sure how we feel about that just yet. Check back with us next week. Been listening to UGK's Ridin' Dirty a lot lately. What Bun B does on "One Day," "Murder" and "Pinky Ring" might be the best three-song set

• Asking for Method Man's Autograph? That's a Shooting

  ​When Mary Anderson of Fort Bend County allegedly asked rapper Method Man for an autograph after a show last November at Houston's House of Blues, she claims she got a different kind of signature: A wound in the stomach from a pellet gun.Anderson is suing Method Man, more formally known as Clifford Smith, in Harris County District Court for allegedly shooting at her six times with a pellet gun. According to the lawsuit, Anderson attended a rap concert where Method Man and Redman were perf

• Bayou Beat: Three Fantastic on NPR, Beyonce Leads MTV Noms, Rocks Off Seeking Intern, More Live Nation Deals, etc.

  Mark C. Austin​ Congratulations to Houston's Three Fantastic, whose "Hot Summer Day" was chosen as NPR's "Song of the Day" Wednesday. Comparing it to "one of those half-remembered Sugar Ray hits from a decade ago," NPR's David Browne is a little taken aback by the band's idea of a "glorious summer day": "As the music revs up, the litany of environmental disasters continues," he writes. "Trees burn to cinders and oceans boil; even the air conditioners are at loose ends." Sounds like Houston to

• Some Answers On The Method Man Lawsuit

  courtesy of TtekcorBNavE.​News of a lawsuit filed against rapper Method Man for allegedly pelting a female autograph seeker outside Houston's House of Blues with ammo from an air-gun sure has exploded all over the Internet.

Besides playing House of Blues Friday with Redman and Ghostface, looks like Meth will spend some time in Houston meeting with lawyers as well. ​This evening is the first installment of the Houston Underground Social Hour, or HUSH, Matt Brownlie of Bring Back the Guns' monthly event offering late-night-styl

Rumor has it some time between sound check and the tall, fragrant rapper's headlining set with Redman, he'll be served with papers in conjunction with the lawsuit area resident Mary Anderson filed this week claiming Mr. "Tical" shot her in the chest after his and Red's House of Blues show last year. Anderson says she was waiting fo

  Chicks, man. Can't live with them, can't play music that objectifies them while in the car on the first date. What's up with that? You play one song with the queen mother c-word in it and she leaves the car before we get our complimentary paper crowns. We compiled a list of songs guaranteed to offend the lady in your life, especially if she's a prude or, ya know, has a degree in something or other.
