You know what they say, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
Fresh off his Grammy win for Record of the Year, jazz pianist Herbie Hancock [pictured] will perform on the View this week.
Houstonist has an active and amazing Flickr photo group. We receive many, many photos of Houston and the surrounding areas every day and unless you are an active visitor to our photo pool many of these photos go unnoticed. So in a weekly effort to bring you more amazing photos from Houstonist readers and photographers, we are going to feature a block of photos submitted to our Flickr photo group. The images will be dug up from deep within our photo pool archives and we hope to expose you to even more wonderful Houston photography.
Tomorrow night, several 90's R&B hit-makers emerge on Reliant Arena for the Ladies Night Out Tour (this has been a popular theme this week). One of those is Bell Biv DeVoe. Bell Biv Devoe (also known as BBD, not to et confused with other 90's bands like NKOTB) arose from the ashes of New Edition. While Bobby Brown and Ralph Tresvant went solo, the other three members decided to form this group, which had a very successful run ... at least for a year.
Let’s say, hypothetically, Houston was home to a fledgling basketball team struggling to maintain a .500 record. Let’s also say that this team, hypothetically of course, was playing host on a Tuesday night to a middle-of-the-pack franchise hailing from the Napa Valley region. Let’s also say that this hypothetical Tuesday night was to occur in late January, when temperatures are historically cold enough to warrant multiple layers of clothing – which in Texas is often a cause for panic.
Unfortunately, our pick of the week has already aired. Kimya Dawson and Adam Green of the Moldy Peaches performed our favorite song from the Juno soundtrack, "Anyone Else But You," on The View this morning. We're hoping it'll pop up on The View's website or on Youtube soon.

Tomorrow night, you should check out local favorites The Mathletes last show of the year (already?). They headline the line-up at The Proletariat. Another local favorite, Orange Is In, hits Rudyard’s Saturday night. Tuesday night sees the arrival of the Foo Fighters at the Toyota Center. If that venue is a little too big for you, check out actor/singer/songwriter Jeff Daniels at the Mucky Duck the same night.
Staying in for New Year’s Eve? Log on to the internets at 11pm to watch Radiohead perform their new album, In Rainbows, on Current TV. The webcast will air three more times on Tuesday for those of you who spend the night out on the town.
Happy Holidays Houston! If you can stand more excitement after all of the festivities this week, we suggest tuning in for a re-airing of Justice's awesome "performance" on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and a brand spanking new Austin City Limits with Bloc Party and Ghostland Observatory.

Here are a few books Houstonist thinks your friends and family won't use for doorstops (that's the fruitcake, right?). Everyone likes a good read, or at least a smart-looking book to sit on the nightstand. Give these a try. And shop at your local independent bookstore -- they can give you even more recommendations, and probably a good cup of coffee as well.
::Monday Night Movie at Domy::
Wassail, both a noun and a verb, manages to come up in at least one conversation (or carol) each December holiday season. And yet, what the heck is it? The drink is from medieval northern Europe and used to resemble something like mulled beer. It's now more like mulled cider, wine or dry sherry. The word means "Be thou hale!" and was used as a non-Christian greeting or goodbye. Houstonist wonders if Shalom or Aloha...

It's been called "maybe the best movie ever made in Pittsburgh," but George Romero's classic, Night of the Living Dead, is considered by many to be the movie that set the standard for the horror film genre and influenced countless productions. Per Rex Reed:If you want to see what turns a B movie into a classic...don't miss Night of the Living Dead. It is unthinkable for anyone seriously interested in horror movies not to see...
