If you prefer 90’s music over today’s, there are a few shows this week that’ll be right up your alley. Tomorrow night, Matchbook Twenty and Alanis Morisette play a sold out show at Toyota Center (MuteMath opens). For rap fans, check out Too $hort at the Meridian Friday night and Snoop Dogg returns with new material at Warehouse Live Saturday night. Finally, Marilyn Manson gives you an alternative to Sunday night church this weekend.

New Orleans' alt-rock band Mute Math may have been named a finalist in Spin.com's 2007 Artist of the Year Award, and yeah, they might have recorded that theme song you heard in the new Transformers movie last summer, but that's not what we think makes this band cool. No, we give a spirited high-five to Mute Math's singer Paul Meany for rocking the keytar! Meany's voice sounds a lot like Sting, but when you add...

Tonight, catch Soviet-born Regina Spektor and her unique "anti-folk" style at Warehouse Live. Tomorrow, catch Houston's own pop/rock outfit Prodigal Son at Rudyard's. Friday night is a tougher choice: you have Grupo Fantasma at the Continental Club (see our interview with them and win tickets), Ghostland Observatory at Warehouse (more details on them tomorrow), or if you're a club-goer, you may want to catch Paul Oakenfold on his "Greatest Hits" tour at Planeta Bar...

Great week to check out some of our favorite local acts. Ragged Hearts on Wednesday night, Lanky on Thursday, and Orange Is In on Friday. Also, Super Happy Fun Land is back open again, after a week of spring cleaning, and their calendar is full of new local and national artists. Sure, the big show this week is Gwen Stefani, but we're going to skip the trek out to The Woodlands and see the...

San Diego-based band Augustana released their debut album All the Stars and Boulevards in the summer of 2005. Finally, almost two years later, the album has taken off and has reached the upper half of the Billboard album charts, thanks to radio embracing the single “Boston.” We recently spoke to Jared Palomar (bass, vocals) of Augustana, as they get ready for their headlining show this Saturday night at the Meridian. We first caught you last...

We tallied up all of the Houstonist staff writers’ favorite albums of the year, and were surprised to find out that we actually agreed on nine of them! Here are the CD’s that we couldn’t get enough of in 2006: The Decemberists: The Crane Wife When The Decemberists made the move to a major label a year ago, we were worried that they would sell out and release a crappy album of radio-friendly tracks. Luckily,...

Wednesday You can call him Black Francis or Frank Black, it doesn’t matter. What does matter, is that the Pixies leader is playing solo shows again, after a very successful reunion tour with his band over the past two years. We’d love to see Kim Deal as a surprise guest, but we won’t hold our breath. 8 p.m. at the Meridian | tickets and info Bound Stems is a “math rock” band. What is...

LAist has so much fun this week! They go to E3, where they overhear the timeless remark "Man, this is where nerdy girls get laid." Is that a promise? They also give us this week's best CDs and make us realize that LA is the best place to use Zillow. Ah, Houstonist. They're biking to work, that is, if they can figure out how to get there. That's right, Mapquest says "Houston had the...
