Well, folks, welcome to our final edition of Rock Talk here on Houstonist. We suppose it's fitting that we're going out on a nice round number. This is actually Houstonist's final day of posting, at least for a long while [more on that later], but we'll be continuing our music scene coverage over at our new website: www.HTownRock.com. Book mark that, and if you send us music news, update the ol' address book so that your mail points to htownrock [at] gmail.com.
Without further ado, let's get down to what the web brought us of late.
