From local Houston headlines, we bring you these weekend news bits...

Rumor has it that Joe Williams shared the stage with the likes of The Rapture and Black Dice back in 1999. That would mean that at 15, Williams shared the stage with some of the most innovative indie electro acts of the time.

Some of today's brightest new acts are releasing albums today.

We told you and told you: if you got your iPhone earlier this summer, you were going to rue the day they marked it down (not to mention the day the site for hacking it went live). That day, ladies and gents is...now. The cheaper-iPhone announcement, however, pales in comparison to other things Apple's got for us, just in time for months of drooling before we all write up our lists and mail them to...

Houston Roller Derby's Burlesque Brawlers are throwing down a great time at a cool location to raise some funds for the team (we keep telling you how costly those fishnets and stuff are - and the ladies do play this sport entirely on their own dime and receive no revenues). Beginning at 5:00 p.m. and lasting until you holler uncle, or the bar closes - you can hang out with the Burlesque Brawlers at Hans...

DCist is screwed in the event of an oil crisis. Not that we're not all screwed in the event of an oil crisis, just D.C. is more screwed. Don't sell your car yet, District resident, a cabbie can kick you to the curb if he doesn't like your address. Not even Metro can save you now. Londonist experiences the London of the future through the wonders of 3D modeling, but while the 3D guys are...

Arbitron, the company that most radio stations use to determine ratings and listenership, announced that Houston will be the first market to use the new electronic survey system, the Portable People Meter (which reminds us of Disney World’s old PeopleMover or even Peter the Meter Reader). For more than 40 years, Arbitron has been sending out paper diaries similar to the one in the picture. The company would randomly flood the market with these...

Houstonist understands first-hand how one becomes attached to their iPod. Some parents of Jewell Simpson Houston Academy in northeast Houston don’t seem to take it as seriously and are complaining to officials about the pat-down search their kids went through when a sixth grade teacher’s MP3 player was missing:

Houstonist loves music, and we love sharing good music with you — that right there sounds like a '70s love ballad. We all got together to structure a list of our favorite albums of 2005. After lots of debating and a few bloody noses (OK, OK, Arcade Fire’s album was technically released last year, so we won’t include it — geesh!), we finally settled on our favorite albums of the year, in no particular order:...

Though we at Houstonist do our best to stay on top of the latest fads and fashions, there's one pop-culture demographic with which we've fallen woefully out of touch: kids 11 and under. Pre-teens these days have so many more options than Houstonist did — back when we were in elementary school, there were no PS2s, no folding scooters, no iPods, no Heelys. All we had were a bunch of cast-iron pistols and a Pong game.
