With all the excitement surrounding the new Wu-Tang Clan record, what are some other bands you'd like to see return to the spotlight? We still say a prayer for a Fugees' comeback album, even though we know it's a lost cause. 8 Diagrams is the long-awaited new album from Wu-Tang, featuring the much-talked about Beatles' sample and guitar work by John Frusciante. Group members Ghostface and Raekwon have been vocal about their dissatisfaction with the...

Nikki Sixx, bass player for Motley Crue stopped in town this weekend for a book and CD signing at Borders on Kirby. Fans lined up before the store opened for a chance to get his new book and CD, The Heroin Diaries signed by the author. There were many fans in attendance, some coming from as far as Dallas. Houstonist would like to thank Borders District Manager, Suzannah Napier for this opportunity....

Good morning, Houston. Ever wondered how our state's economy stacked up against the rest of the world? Maybe not, but now there's a map that tells you, whether you care or not. Texas' economy is about the same size of Canada's in terms of GDP, making it the second-largest in the country (we fall behind California, which is comparable to France). Coming in dead last is Wyoming, which was renamed Uzbekistan. >>Wind farm a...

Last week, we told you about the home in Conroe with the image of Jesus in its foyer (or Jerry Garcia, depending on how you look at it). But now we have something even better than that: Jesus himself — or at least a guy claiming to be him — has moved into the Houston suburbs. Take that, Dallas!

Looks like HPD's crackdown of crime in and around southwest Houston apartment complexes is paying off — in the three weeks since the operation began, some number of people have been arrested and quite a bit of drugs has been seized. But thanks to local TV news, it's hard to tell just how many or how much. We do know that the sting targeted five apartment complexes on or near Fondren, Hillcroft and Gessner, plus...

Suburban life seems kind of idyllic sometimes, doesn't it? The new houses, the good schools, the big, well-manicured lawns, the flying nails — yeah, that's right, flying nails. It's been a problem in at least one neighborhood in Dickinson, where a family has found nails on two occasions from a construction site about 200 feet away.

Houstonist reports on cross-dressing thieves and undressing educators this week. A peeping Tom defends himself with a papaya and an outraged onlooker asks Ken Lay, "TATER TOTS OR FRIES?" Also, FEMA wants its money back. LAist are a big bunch of geeks. They're Star Trek geeks, David Duchovny geeks and Frank Gehry geeks. During their Cochella preview their readers reveal themselves to be Depeche Mode geeks. Seattlest saw their basketball team preparing to leave for...

There's a whole wide world out there, and here's the proof: DCist revels in The University of Maryland's basketball triumphs, marvels at Metro's security strategy, and applauds DC local Katie Couric's new gig. Phillyist is all about the Philadelphia Film Festival. OK, not all about -- they still have time for loitering, underage sex, and random wacky news. LAist would have to send a camera around the world to get shots as bizarre as Katie's...
