In celebration of The Mathletes' last show in Houston, we thought we'd bring you their homemade video for "Pinocchiobot." The mini-movie is titled "The Devil and Robot McGee," and its description tells us it's about "overcoming awkward social situations through dancing." Yeah. more ›

If he isn't already, Joe Mathlete should be considered a local hero. It isn't enough that he has given us two of the funniest blogs on these here Internets (Joe Mathlete's Great American Blog and Joe Mathlete Explains Today's Marmaduke), but he's also the ringleader of one of the most enjoyable live acts in town. The Mathletes' "Pinocchiobot (or, The Devil and Robot McGee)" is a testament to Joe Mathlete’s brand of (successful) oddball... more ›

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... more ›

It's hot. No, really, like....hot. So what better way to spend your day--or at least part of it--than with some summer TV? You may be thinking reruns, but the days of being stuck on the couch in front of interminable Brady Bunch marathons (or, worse, The Brady Bunch Movie) are over. In fact, far from being re-run central, summer's become the time that network and cable channels test out their new series ideas, so lots... more ›

Shanghaiist probably knows a little more about China than the Chicago Sun-Times. Giving them the benefit of the doubt on that one. The city does to have a music scene. Don't even front like they don't. They also have Dorito bananas and white guys shopping for wives. What they don't have is any more tolerance for jaywalkers.
