Well, last Sunday one highlight was the whole Million Year Dance thing. Now I rarely write about bands I abhor but MYD seems to demand its 15 minutes through a combination of vanity, pomposity, and some of the worst pseudo-philosophy I’ve ever seen. I recently ran across their Myspace where…
Well another Houston Press Music Awards Showcase has come and gone. This year’s took some force of will to attend as I was a bit under the weather. Mercifully my fever went down and with a Camera and an icepack-ready Gatorade I was prepared for a day of music, beer…
Fuuuuuck!!! Man, I think I caught Clinton’s cold. Hopefully, I’ll be recovered tomorrow so as to go to the Houston Press Awards. Now as you know Linus was nominated but not asked to play but nevertheless I managed to scrounge some VIP wristbands which is really what it’s about –…

A few suggestions for the Houston Press Music Awards per me – Ramon Medina. Note just becasue I don’t pick someone doesn’t mean I don’t like them, I may simply not have heard of them. Best New Act –Sharks and SailorsBest Punk – Fatal Flying Guilloteens [Hey where is Somethign…
So lately things have been going reasonably well… last night Mike and I sat down and worked out some musical ideas for his upcoming production of “The Adding Machine”… wherever Mike finds to put the play on, you should come see it… it should be running the last two weekends…
