Seems the Dougie is still big on the streets–literally, in fact, as the clip above shows. A word of advice, though? When dancing in the streets, be sure to look both ways. The above guy clearly didn’t. And, as such, he pays for it, getting run over by an ice…

Ace photographer Kevin Todora trekked on out to the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival, which rolled through town for a stop at Superpages.com Center on Friday, so the rest of us wouldn’t have to–and he came away with some killer shots of the bands and fans (even the young ‘uns) at…

We’ve said it once, we’ve said it a thousand times: You don’t need a re-appropriated image to make a show poster that sings…

Somewhat like the Norah Jones of England, jazz-influenced pop singer Corinne Bailey Rae broke into American fairly strongly in 2006, going platinum on 2006, largely on the back of her self-titled album’s ubiquitous single, “Put Your Records On.” In many ways, that song, a pleasant ditty about the emotional release…

We’re knee-deep in the dog days of summer. And you know what that means: It’s obligatory hip-hop song about the summertime! And from a local, no less! Last year, Trai’D’s “Summertime” was our guilty pleasure of choice. And this year’s likely successor? Why, that’d be the above clip from Big…

Tomorrow night, as the Granada Theater celebrates its six year anniversary (and with it, all the great shows enjoyed at the Greenville Avenue venue over that time), owner Mike Schoder and his staff will host a pretty phenomenal bill featuring Built to Spill, Finn Riggins (not to be confused with…

We’ve got quite a backlog of CDs we’ve never gotten around to, so we’re going to try to chip away at the pile with this regular feature. The plan: to take a few at a time and play each CD for as long as I can stand it.Dax Riggs (Austin,…

There’s little doubting Robert Wilonsky’s stance on Bedhead–dude’s a fan.So there’s little surprise then, that, in his August 6, 1998 article, “Putting it to bed,” Robert’s writing took on a somber tone. Hell, the last sentence in the piece might as well be sobs: “So sad,” Robert wrote at the…

Speaking of new music videos and, uh, fetishes, the biggest rapper going in Dallas released a new music video this weekend for the song “Hood Chick Fetish,” from his Gangsta Grillz mixtape and, one assumes, from his upcoming sophomore release, Get Big, from which we’ve already seen the title track…
