So much local talent and so much love. Uh, if I'm maybe a little too biased on this one, then let's go with the Mountain Goats, also in January. (January 14) JOHN SEABORN GRAY
RADIOHEAD, Toyota Center

Some of it felt like it wasn't quite all there, appropriate considering shadows and spirits, sleeping and dreaming, are a recurring theme for Radiohead ("The Gloaming," "Identikit"). But for those of us wondering if it would kill them to throw in a chord change, they gave us "Airbag" from OK Computer, and once in a while dug out a riff that is still as sharp as a blade, like Hail To the Thief's "There There." (March 3) CHRIS GRAY
BUILT TO SPILL, Fitzgerald's

Energy was high amongst both crowd and band -- or as energetic as BTS members get, which is not very -- but the vibe was all-around positive. Doug Martsch, a front man not particularly known for his onstage loquaciousness, seemed to agree, even early on. "This is the first time in Houston that we aren't on some giant stage in some weird place," Martsch noted to the crowd with relief. "It's nice!" (March 12) NEPH BASEDOW
