The Pixies,  EP-1:  Album Review

The Pixies, EP-1: Album Review

There’s a line in the recent Pixies single ‘Bag Boy,’ that kind of summarizes the sudden EP of new recorded music for the first time in 22 years.  “So disappointed I was/that I had to make small talk with you/I’m not feelin’ your buzz/I only smell your crock of stew.” I mean, let’s review the facts here.  The band reunited in 2003 and has toured off and on over the past 10 years, flirting with the idea of ‘will they […]

"Horse Semen Might Be Good For You": Throwing Shade Live Comes to Boston

“Horse Semen Might Be Good For You”: Throwing Shade Live Comes to Boston

On Thursday night, Los Angeles comedians Erin Gibson and Bryan Safi visited the Oberon stage in Cambridge as part of their East Coast Throwing Shade Live tour.

We Saw It! Clutch at the House of Blues, Boston, 5.5.13

Is there a better way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo than seeing Clucth at the House Of Blues in Boston? This is our fourth piece on these guys this year I believe and I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s either because a) We really like ’em and think you should too or b) They’re really great and we think you should like ’em. My second time seeing Clutch this year and somewhere in the double digits overall, Clutch never […]

The Carlton Shuffle, 4/20/13

The Carlton Shuffle, 4/20/13

We had a Carlton Shuffle in the works as per usual. But sitting here following nearly a full day’s worth of additional terror in the Boston area, it just didn’t feel right to go with our usual playlist. I thought about throwing together something a bit more meaningful, but time, energy, and thought evade me. It’s been a week of such intense emotion, trauma, and testing of our individual and collective spirit. From my vantage point, that spirit remains unbroken. […]
