A 'bigger-than-ever' Melody Fest comes to AT&T Centernew
It doesn't get any harder than this, unless The Panic Division turns it up to 11. But they don't need to: Colton Holliday's band has enough to go toe-to-toe with hard-rockers The Heroine, Memory of a Melody, and Cult to Follow (iTunes has CTF's single "Leave it all Behind," from their upcoming 2013 album).

Los Super Seven are back, and they start herenew
I see nothing wrong with the word "supergroup" (a band with its members being well-established soloists or coming from other, well-established bands), and that's exactly what Los Super Seven are. The only thing they are not is, precisely, seven, but many more.

Frank Langella delivers another Oscar-worthy performance in 'Robot & Frank'new
Idea for a movie: a former cat burglar showing early signs of Alzheimer's gets help in the form of a robot as a present from his son, so the man teaches the robot how to steal. A comedy, right? And probably a bad one. Unless, of course, the writing and the actors are first class.

The return of Café Tacuba, Mexico's artsy roots rockersnew
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the self-titled debut of Café Tacuba, the band that turned the world of Latin alternative music upside down with an unusual early format of a drum machine, acoustic guitar, stand-up bass, and a high-pitched charro-sounding singer wearing guarache sandals and a straw hat.

Carly Garza: One of San Antonio's best voices still searching for herselfnew
"The fundamental cause of trouble in the world today is that the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt," wrote Bertrand Russell, and a variation of that quote is (wrongly, I think) also attributed to Charles Bukowski. No matter who said it, the quote reminds me of Carly Garza.

An extremely up-close encounter with Neil Youngnew
Neil Young Journeys completes director Jonathan Demme's trilogy of concert films centered on Neil Young. While 2006's Neil Young: Heart of Gold featured Young in Nashville returning from a bout with an aneurysm, and 2009's Neil Young Trunk Show featured concert footage in Pennsylvania during the Chrome Dreams II tour, Journeys, a solo performance by Young, is the most personal yet experimental of the three.
