After debuting an elaborate stage show for the project in England, Bjork has announced that she will bring it to North America [...]
Instead of reinventing the wheel this Christmas, let's recycle a past post or two. Today, the holidays in the Lone Star State! Christmas in Texas is pretty much like Christmas in any other place - except most of the time it's hot, everybody's playin' football, people are barbecuing and drinking beer, there's a lot of country music and blues and rock, and the stuffing has jalapenos in it. Okay, it's like no place else. MP3: "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer" by the Texas Tornados [...]

Raiders fan at Oakland-Houston game. Before the start of the Oakland-Houston NFL game on Sunday, the crowd in Houston's Reliant Stadium observed a moment of silence in memory of Al Davis, the Raiders owner and professional football pioneer who died the day before. The Raiders then went out and won the game, 25-20, which came down to a last-second attempt by Houston to score and move ahead for the win. That didn't happen, as Texans quarterback Matt Schaub scrambled out of the pocket four yards away from the goal line and seeing a defender [...]

Rockpango finds this Texas trio sticking to its roots. When the Los Lonely Boys burst onto the popular music scene in 2004 - seemingly out of nowhere - with their eponymous debut and its infectious hit single, "Heaven", they rode that wave straight to a Grammy award and platinum record sales. Since that time, however, the brothers Garza had some legal troubles, and they have released two studio recordings that sold less successfully than that debut. Most recently, bassist JoJo suffered from a vocal...
