Houstonist has been a fan of local graffiti artist Ack! for a number of years now. In fact, we own a piece of his work - we took it off a pole outside Brasìl before the cops could. His work is colorful and playful, and if we weren't a fan of it already, this video gives us yet another reason. more ›

Houstonians, we are number one! Yes, yes,ooooooh YES! Ahead of the other "major cities" and not due to our BMI indexes. Rather, our favorite way to burn off some calories, or just to relax after a hard day at the keyboard. Sex. The never-ending heat wave does have us thinking in terms of indoor activities, just saying. Houstonians have more sex, lots more, than our friends in Atlanta (who ranked second) and Dallas? Forget Dallas, numero 8 on the list. Yep, according to a recent study conducted by Trojan, we have sex an average of 101 times per year, or one and a half times per week (well, on average, as half-sex doesn't really "count", as recent history proves). Atlanta shows up second at 88 times per year. more ›

The Pack A.D. is a garage rock duo out of Vancouver, Canada whose sound is steeped in a healthy portion of the blues. The drumming of Maya Miller meets with the singing and guitar work of Becky Black to create an appealingly raw and visceral sound that calls to mind Son House, Janis Joplin, and The Black Keys. The band has released two records: Tinytype was self-released by the band in 2007 (re-released by Mint Records in2008) and Mint Records released Funeral Mixtape in 2008. more ›
