Mother Falcon’s Still Life

There’s nothing static about Mother Falcon’s Still Life EP, not when upwards of 14 instruments unite in song. Even among its peer bands – Speak, Bright Lights Social Hour, Oikos, and Diamonds – Mother Falcon is in a class of its own.

He Called Me Baby

At 55, I'm the old fart on our music writing staff, but when I put One Eskimo's "Kandi" in my 2009 Top 10, I knew that young band grand-slammed it outta the ballpark, using the one weapon that never fails: a killer song. When Bob Lefsetz wrote about it yesterday, I grinned.

Rock Ampersand Roll

It’s been a while since a book lingered long after I’d shut its cover, but Elijah Wald’s How the Beatles Destroyed Rock 'n' Roll: An Alternative History of American Popular Music (Oxford University Press) really got under my skin and became my best book of 2010.

Exit Wounds

“I am writing in regards to my uncle, David Martinez. He passed away this weekend.” So began the email this morning from Zeke Martinez. Another death to process, this one a bit easier on my heart, still bleeding from so many exit wounds this year.

Eva's Victory

Eva Lindsey witnessed the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. The Austin native contributed to a tremendous number of efforts over the years, an eyewitness to history in the making, and best known today as the beloved grand dame of the Victory Grill. Small wonder she is being honored at the Grill on Saturday night.

That's a Good Idea

When House of Songs opens the Cactus Café doors on Thursday night, the welcome mat will be bilingual – English and Danish. That’s because House of Songs is an Austin-based artist-in-residence program for Danish singer-songwriters.

Bill Narum: We Call That Art

The news wafted through Austin, a town already unnerved by the recent death of Robin Shivers. This name was just as sad, the shock just as big: Bill Narum was dead.

New mAcdonald

Maybe the road to PurgAtory Hill has been long, but few are better equipped to make the trip than Pat Macdonald. Make that pat mAcdonald, an effective way of driving grammarists crazy or maybe just a reminder to put the damn A in his last name without mentioning “The Future’s So Bright.”

Tejano Returns to 6th Street

Isidoro Lopez likes to use the phrase “invisible society” when referring to the Latino community and how it's often looked through. It’s a particularly apt phrase in regards to Tejano, that vibrant hybrid of Texas-born, Mexican-originated music. For every musical style that exists, there’s a Spanish take on it.
