Houstonist is really looking forward to the Over The Rhine show tonight at the Mucky Duck. In an intimate setting like the Duck, their sopisticated art-pop sound will probably cause shivers down your spine.

Each week Houstonist checks out the Missed Connections on Craiglist. Here's a few that we found interesting.

It’s like Divas Las Vegas 2007 this week, but in a good way! Celine Dion, Alicia Keys, and the Queen of Soul all have new albums debuting on the charts. It took us a little longer than usual to warm up to Alicia Keys’ new single, “No One” from her latest album, As I Am. But now that we’ve heard it endlessly on the radio and on TV, and it’s formed its own repeat loop...

This week, don’t be looking for the big, A-list concerts, but that doesn’t mean that there’s a void of good live music choices. Last week’s big winner at the Houston Press Music Awards, The Dimes, will be playing at The Proletariat with several other bands Friday night. Sam Houston Race Park continues their summer concert series with Cory Morrow the same night. Saturday, you can take a step back into the 80’s with legendary...

The big show this week, of course, is the reunion of The Police. But if you don’t feel like paying $100 to see Sting sing songs he sings at his solo concerts too (OK, yes, it’s different since Summers and Copeland are with him, but is it that different?), then you can opt for some other good shows Friday night: singer/songwriter Radney Foster (now writing hits for other people) plays two shows at the...

A lot of local and regional shows this week. Galveston’s Mardi Gras begins this weekend, with lots of local bands on tap. You’ll also find some good jazz at Brasil and Kelvin Arms tomorrow night, and with Orange is In at Notsuoh Saturday night. Evan Dando and The Lemonheads are finally touring again, arriving in Clear Lake Thursday night. Saxophonist Boney James plays downtown on Saturday. Did we miss something? Let us know. Here’s...

It’s a Whitman’s Sampler of concerts this week: metal, blues, alternative, country, Celtic, zydeco, reggae, etc. If you can find the genre you like, that’s your problem. May we suggest Raul Malo tomorrow night at Warehouse Live. The former leader of The Mavericks recently released an album of covers that seriously challenge the originals. Also, the H-Town Blues Festival sounds like a good line-up (you may want to bring your Prozac). And metal is...

The AP reported yesterday on a disturbing piece of news connected with the 2005 death of Phanta "Jack" Phoummarath, a UT-Austin fraternity pledge who suffered alcohol poisoning at a pledge party: As he was dying, members of the fraternity he was pledging reportedly wrote anti-gay slogans and drew obscene pictures on his body. Dr. Roberto Bayardo of the [Travis County] medical examiner’s office reported that party-goers had used green and black markers to write “FAG,”...

Lyle Lovett is definitely one of our hometown musical heroes. The multi-Grammy winner still calls Klein his home and can be spotted around town sometimes with his fiancé (no, not Julia). We, of course, admire him for his music and songwriting. When he first arrived onto the music scene in 1986, country radio embraced him and he had some hits on the country charts. Then, Nashville realized that not only did he write his...
