Last Chance To See 600 sq mi: Hidden
Hopefully by now you've been able to swing by Xnihilo Gallery and have a look at the wonderful photography exhibition that we put together known as 600 sq mi: Hidden. If, however, you've been too much of a lazy bum or busy bee in the last six weeks, make sure you catch it this weekend before it is too late.

H-Town Rock
For the weekend of November 19th - 22nd, 2009
The weekend before Thanksgiving is certainly a popular one for events, and this year is no different - Art Crawl, Via Colori, Spacetaker's WHAM, a You[Genious] release party, some art openings and a whole smattering of other happenings are going on this weekend. Houstonist supposes that no one wants to try to fight the holiday weekend. We're not complaining, but it certainly has our concert calendar full.

H-Town Rock
For the week of November 16th - 18th, 2009
We know we say this a lot in our Monday posts, but it bears repeating - we're alive! Houstonist hit Block Party pretty hard this weekend, achieving local music overload, discovering new artists that we have just got to see again, and making connections for some future interviews. But let's get down to what's happening this week, shall we?

Houstonist Parties Around The Block.

So get your ass out there and go see some music this weekend, got it? Houstonist commands you. Here's the schedule as it stands - well, the most up-to-date one that we can find, that is.

Get To Know A Houston Band: The Literary Greats
H-Town Rock took a trip over to Valhalla this week and sat down with Brandon Elam and Taylor Lee of The Literary Greats, who were coming from a session on KTRU's Local Show. We chatted about everything from their new record to beer baskets to Ice Cube. The full audio from our 30 minute chat can be listened to here, including the weirdest intro to an interview yet.

For the weekend of November 12th - 15th, 2009
Here's the deal - our job is really easy this week, because it's Westheimer Block Party Time, and to top it all off this year there's a bonus day of music. Houstonist is going to assume our readers have enough smarts not to miss two days of free music and then some, so we'll be listing everything else concert-wise of which we know. We'll also be back tomorrow with the most up-to-date Block Party schedule we can find and a few selections you shouldn't miss.

Rock Talk, Vol. VIII

So open wide, or you'll have to wait for us to come back next week. The 71's announced a, "Bands, Fans & Cans" show at Fitzgerald on November...

Houstonist Listens: The Literary Greats' Ocean, Meet The Valley
We'll fess up right away: Houstonist has had this album for some time now. Band member Taylor Lee passed it to us a while back, and we eagerly gobbled it up, waiting for the right moment to unleash our opinions upon the teeming hordes of Houstonist readers. Yes, yes, you can order the album online, but seeing as the official CD release is this Saturday at The Continental Club, now seemed a fine time to inform the masses just how good this album really is.
