We Saw It!: Living Colour at Paradise Rock Club, Boston 4/5/13

An Hour (& a Half) of Power (Pop) with Fountains of Wayne
I owe my love of Fountains of Wayne to a decision to go to Wendy’s. I was sitting in a booth, enjoying a late lunch one day, when “Hey Julie” came on the PA.

This show was a fucking messy, sweaty, aggro rock show-a […]
A Tale of Two Shows: Citizen Cope & The Black Eyed Peas

Back then, BEP was a crunchy, borderline-conscious “alternative” rap group and Cope was an upstart singer/songwriter. Flash forward 8 years, and the BEP are dance/pop behemoths with very little trace of the hip-hop flavor of their work pre-Fergie, while Cope is…the […]
