What you missed this weekend

    Time to look back on what Houston did this weekend, musically speaking. I do not care that Houston did its laundry. Photo by Bill Olive: Ximena Sariñana performs at House of Blues last Friday.Photo by Bill Olive: Ximena Sariñana performs at House of Blues last Friday.

    • I saw Spinal Tap (review here). And it pretty much ruled and you should be sorry you missed it.

    • Here's another take on the show from the ClownVision Chronicles.

    • The Press' Craig Hlavaty went to a place I have not gone in over a decade: A Dave Matthews Band concert.

    • And here's a fan report, who says DMB "kicked some serious ass."

    • Joey Guerra took in Ximena Sariñana and Fleetwood Mac.

    • Gwendolyn Zepeda also went to Fleetwood Mac and it stirred up memories.

    • Here's a Flickr set by mrchriscornwell from the Joan Jett show at the Showgrounds on Saturday. Another set by Charlie White covers a show at Javajazz with Before There Was Rosalyn.

    • I'm surprised that I can't find any reports of Jandek at Diverseworks. Is his playing out too often a turn-off now, I wonder?

    • Oh, weird: George Clinton endorsed Peter Brown for Houston mayor at his concert last week.

    • Not so much in the going-out vein, but very useful to the going-out community: Space City Rock puts its very useful show calendar in Google Cal, iCal and RSS format. I say yes to this.

    Why would you assume that anyone did laundry?

    Fair enough. I didn't do laundry, I suppose it's possible that no one in Houston did laundry, either.

    Let us assume everyone was making love or else expecting rain.
