Daily Music - The Austin Chronicle

11 for 11

2011 was the most interesting year yet in Geezerville. Actually that surprises me. When the year began, I would have never predicted some of the things that happened locally, nor some of the artists I’d get to interview, some of the shows I’d witness, and the online ruckus I instigated.

Momo's Closing

With Emo's Red River digs closing Friday – coming to tomorrow's Chronicle – Momo's suddenly posted to Facebook today: “Our doors closed permanently as of yesterday, Tuesday, Dec. 27, until we find a new location.” Renovations on a space Momo's doesn't own appears to be the culprit.

Winter Soulstice

After weeks of blessed drizzle and rain, the sun shines this morning, the shortest day of the year. Gotta be constructive with all that night, so we're grateful to local punk icon Tim Kerr for emailing us about tonight's Winter SOUL-stice: A Benefit Dance Party for Jonathan Toubin at the ND.

Crunk Christmas

Having made it through Scott Weiland's new Christmas coaster, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, I feel like Santa on the cover of this week's Chronicle. Without giving anything away about what's coming down the chimney Thursday, the only differences between that Claus and my state in the aftermath of Weiland is implement and motive.

Bottle of Wine

It sits on my shelf gathering dust, a bottle of Rolling Stones wine from my editor Raoul Hernandez. Not opening it is a kind of symbol for me, but nothing overly spiritual or meaningful. It’s just a collector’s item, and not to be tampered with.

Encore Records Closing

Encore Records, Video & Apparel owner Chuck Lokey was visibly shaken last night when I pulled into the parking lot of his video rental/metal emporium. Encore was closing. Standing in the cold drizzle, two friends looking for the right words, we noticed the rain had temporarily short-circuited the Encore sign above the doorway. We knew a sign when we saw one.

Cactus Fest

Prey for Sleep larynx peel Hunter Townsend emailed us about the Texas Metal Collective, banding together tonight and tomorrow at the Dirty Dog for a special cause: “The drummer for one of our bands was recently attacked in a parking lot after already being down from a skateboarding accident. The resulting injuries left him in the ICU for almost a week.”

My Dinner with @tblsh

I was kidding really. The Bright Light Social Hour posted on its Facebook page that, after a brutal year on the road, they were very glad to be home for the next month. I facetiously suggested “let’s do lunch!” Band manager Alex O’Brien thought I was serious and his brother, bass player Jack O’Brien, sent me a message that they were up for it.
