Ladies & gentlepeeps, I give you, the first-ever super-official, fancy-shmancy SCR Muxtape, for your enjoyment and the hopeful elevation of the bands included therein. Gape in awe at its Houston-swelled glory. Yeah, yeah — I know they’re likely a fad and are being slapped up left & right, but I swear to God, the muxtape […]
Sorry, all you folks out there who were psyched as hell about catching The Dodos, The Wild Moccasins, Silje Nes, & Missing Files tonight (Mon., March 24th) at The Mink…turns out the show was actually last night. Um. Whoops. Sorry, y’all — my bad. Dunno how I got my crossed on that one, I swear. […]
Man, what a week… There was supposed to be a nice, big update to the site this past week, including a few of our growing pile of need-to-get-posted live reviews, but then yours truly got laid real low by the flu — I don’t remember a thing from roughly last Monday evening to Tuesday night, […]
I know, I know — it’s about damn time. This little site/magazine/e-zine’s been rolling for 10+ years (counting the “pre-zine” days, at least), and we’re only now getting ’round to covering the colossal musical clusterfuck/lovefest that is South by Southwest. Despite the fact that the happy little Austin music festival has ballooned in the intervening […]
Yes, yes, yes. Had to skip a day or two since they actually went up, but here’s the deal on the new stuff, either way… I’m extremely proud, for one, to announce that our super-duper-official 2007 Top Ten Lists are now online. While most mags/e-zines/blogs do their best-ofs in the actual year, we here at […]

No, really — I do. Which is sad, ’cause there was once a time when I’d have laid down on a railroad track for that quirky little Web publishing tool. But now? No, no, nooooo. Why? Well, because while you’re probably reading this brilliantly witty missive only on the ol’ Myspace, you should be reading […]
Yeah, they’re both a couple of days old already, but I just wanted to mention that fancy-shmancy new “Featured Band” write-ups are now online for sweet-voiced indie-popsters Piano Vines, who I’m eagerly awaiting to check out on CD (go, U.S. Postal Service, go!), and stoner-rock heroes and all-’round nice guys The Linus Pauling Quartet, who […]
Well, 2007’s done, and a new year’s now upon us. And as I sit here and listen to the booming fireworks off in the distance (and the, er, somewhat sharper reports closer to home), it’s been a hell of a year, especially in terms of music coming out of our fair city — to be […]
Seriously, it feels like it. After the recent network outages here at work (I’m told it was a “spanning tree loop,” but I’ve got only a vague idea as to what that means) and now the wireless issues I’m having, I’m about ready to throw ’em all out the window and go Luddite. I’d hoped […]
Hey, folks — longtime readers (yes, the few, the not-so-proud, the downright embarrassed…) will have probably noticed that the Featured Bands section of the site has been woefully outdated for, oh, about three years now (at least). ‘Til recently, long-dead or moved-away folks like Middlefinger, Washington Westcott, & Panic In Detroit had been up there […]
DSCN1294, originally uploaded by gaijintx. Worst day in a while; apologies for the non-postings, but I’ve been dealing with more “home” stuff than SCR stuff lately. Rest in peace, Toby. We love you.
Been attempting to clear out the office and am having to part with a stack of 80 or so 7-inches (plus a few LPs), so I figured I’d post ’em here & see if anybody wanted ’em. I’m asking $30 or OBO for the whole lot. The first bunch are newer and in better shape; […]
Actually, that title’s not quite right — it should really read, “Dumbass Forgot to Update the Latest Version Before Uploading.” Argh. The astute will note that the reviews for Alex Delivery, Kris Racer, etc., are now mysteriously missing from the site; that’s because I overwrote ’em like an idiot. Look for them to be fixed […]
Just a quick early warning-type note: yours truly spent a good 2 hrs. last night at the Empire Cafe (mmm…Milky Way good…) chatting with the large crew of people involved in either/or soft-rockers The Western Civilization or their record label Mia Kat Empire, and a real-live interview thingy will be coming once I can actually […]
Ah, the best-laid plans… I’d intended to hit the 2nd night of the Noise & Smoke H-town band extravaganza last night, but alas, it was not to be (sorry, Conor…). After a week of my little girl having the stomach flu, my wife finally caught it yesterday herself, so I stayed home to take care […]
Sorry, folks — I’m well aware that we have yet to post any new reviews/features yet this week, and am working to correct that. I’ve spent the past day or so alternating between working at the day job, hanging out with my little brother, and taking care of a vomiting munchkin, and now I’ve been […]
Damn. It really feels at times like I’ve neglected the Houston “side” of Space City Rock for the better part of five years now. And that sucks. Nobody to blame but me, unfortunately — with the house, the wife, the kid, and the attempt at making the e-zine “side” of the site work like, well, […]
Just a quick little note to let all & sundry know that our RSS feed finally appears to be working. Just plug http://www.spacecityrock.com/scrblog.xml into your Google homepage or whatever other RSS reader/aggregator you use, and voila, you’ve got our latest blog-type musings at your fingertips…
Argh. So I’ve finally got all the “real” blog-type stuff set up, we’ve republished the whole shebang…and now posts from nearly five years ago are appearing at the top like they’re new. The hell? Ignore the old-old-old stuff, folks — the dates on the actual blog posts themselves are correct. Sorry for the mess…
Hey, folks — Jeremy, head honcho of the chaotic mess that is Space City Rock, here with some news about, um, the “News” section. After much agonizing & such, the “News” section as such will be fluttering off into the ether, to be replaced by (dum da da dum) the absolutely-official, really-truly SCR Blog. Some […]
