Boston: Axis and Avalon are closing….

Damn, I had no idea that these 2 clubs were shutting the doors for a big time remodeling.
Dropkick Murphys (with the Horrorpops and Everybody Out) are playing at Avalon’s last night – I would have liked to send the place off with some sweat and some beer
but I was too slow and scalpers got the [...]

There can never be enough new music

Gogol Bodello has a new album – it’s fun and energetic as expected. Side One Dummy has
a stupid flash player with 2 free tracks.
Edit: If you are in DC, Philly, NYC, Detroit, Chicago – GO TO THE SHOW. It’s fun.

Tim Armstrong has a new album out. It’s pretty good. here is a track. There [...]

Japan Nite at TT’s in Cambridge

Sounds like fun! (tomorrow night)

More Gimme Gimmes

A picture from last night’s Me First and the Gimmes show at Axis. The show was fun as hell (as expected) and I
got to bounce around and pretend that I’m not almost 30. This has got to be the only live show on earth where
you’ll see people knocking elbows in the circle pit while [...]

I require new records!

Does anybody have any good new music? (Don’t tell me that it’s an oxymoron – I know that it’s out there)

Some stuff that I’ve been listening to lately. According to me because last.fm is full of shit.

Funk: Platinum Pied Pipers, the Kings of Funk comp.
Hip Hop: The Audience is Listening by Cut Chemist, both the [...]

Roger Waters Tour

Jess and I went out to see Roger Waters tonight. It was a big extravagant show with trippy visuals, fireworks, bombs, giant
floating pigs, and other such things. I was really hoping that he’d play a lot of solo stuff (Amused to Death is
damn good album) in the first set but it turned out to [...]

Mike

Much of my music brings back memories of the first time that I heard it. I just put
on some DJ Greyboy because I’m trying to get some work done – man, those memories are pretty old …
I’d like to thank my sophomore year of college skater roommate, Stinky Foot Mike, for introducing me to the [...]

The Coup

In lieu of a real post, I give you a free song….
“My Favorite Mutiny” from The Coup’s April release “Pick a Bigger Weapon”.
(Yeah, that’s Talib Kweli that you are hearing about 3 minutes in – that guy is everywhere, eh?)

quick update: The Coup is going to be on tour for most of the [...]

Murs, and comics

Ha – I’ve never noticed this Lyric from Murs’ “All Day”:

“I read Grrl Scouts, Transmetro, and Invisibles.”

It brings back an old memory…
About 8 years go I wandered into a Portsmouth NH comic shop and told the guy that I quit after the whole
Comic Bubble/Chromium cover fiasco
but I was ready to try again. He told me [...]
