What? Did you think I wouldn’t follow through with this feature? Silly people….
My top selections for live music to go see/feel/experience this weekend are as follows:
Friday, May 2, 2008
Kanye West
Rihanna
N.E.R.D.
Lupe Fiasco
7pm-ish at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands, TX
Yes, I’m suggesting that you go see some hip-hop this weekend? Why? Because, even with the immense size of his ego, Kanye is still one of the top MC’s & producers in hip-hop. Moreover, Lupe Fiasco is an amazing talent who’s only beginning to scratch the surface of his potential. So, while you might have to sit through Rihanna’s “Umbrella” (a track that has become annoying in its ubiquity), you will get to hear some amazing music.

The Jonbenet
Sharks and Sailors
O Pioneers!!!
Closet City
Doors at 8pm, Show at 9pm at Walter’s on Washington – 4215 Washington in Houston, TX
Thus, after a enjoying a night of hip-hop in the suburbs (who else but white kids in the ‘burbs could afford those ticket prices), feel free to stop by MY favorite small venue in all of Houston to experience the might of four ferocious punk/hardcore bands. You are required to bang your head at least twice & throw up rock-n-roll horns at least 5 times while attending this show.

Roger Waters
Yes, again at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands, TX
Oh, how I intensely dislike the Pavilion, but I’m not sure there would be any other venue in Houston (Toyota Center maybe?) that would do justice to a live Roger Waters show (yes, he of Pink Floyd), especially after his (reportedly) excellent performance at Coachella last weekend. Bring some “substances” and enjoy the light show with your friends!
