“Rhythm Is Gonna Get You” – Gloria Estefan
I just want to freak out. I want to put my head in my pillow and scream at the top of my lungs until I turn blue and pass out. Better, I want to do that exact thing, minus the pillow, but in the middle of a crowd. The passerby will think: “wow, something must [...]
The Mountain Goats at Wilbur Theater, Reviewed.
Act 1
[Two friends stand in the crowd eagerly anticipating the Mountain Goats to take the stage. As the band appears on stage to a rush of cheer and applause a quizzical looks stretch across the two friends' faces.]
Friend One: Who’s that guy on the left? Is that a permanent electric guitar player?
Friend Two: Yeah, looks [...]
DEVO Stands for De-evolution, and I Stand For The Death of Death. [Part 2]
Of what matter are the thoughts that arise in one’s mind as they survey the American landscape from within an automobile? The construction of a road promises uniformity in vision and thought, a line from known to known, from spot to spot, from life in America to death in the ground. The protest may be [...]
DEVO Stands for De-evolution, and I Stand For The Death of Death. [Part 1]
As soon as I thought of the following idea I told it to Gunnhild. She was not as impressed. I would later find out that the idea currently circling this text in a holding pattern is not all that impressive. (As an aside, I ask you, Q: what is more pleasurable than the construction/fulfillment/destruction of [...]
confessions of a childen’s choir
That’s me, second row, second in from the right – stage right. If you saw us in Cambridge I was standing second in from the right – regular right. I’ve got a secret to tell you, but you have to promise to keep this secret a secret. Promise? Okay.
That’s not Ryan Gosling – not in [...]

DEAR FROWNLAND,
First off, I know what you’re going to say… well maybe not say, but… maybe think–maybe you’re going to think, “what an asshole, he wrote a film review of some underground art film that no one gives a fuck about to prove his credibility to a small, insignificant audience, and pretend to feel good [...]
you make me happy when skies are gray
What is this that I’m watching exactly? – Yea, we’ve seen a lot this weekend.
HONK! Fest. The best weekend in Boston, hands up (what can we possibly accomplish with our hands down?). The only minus – my neighborhood of Davis Square will indefinitely have a standing stink of patchouli.
When I first encountered this year’s [...]
a wavves live review in three parts
I.
Scene 1:
[Wavves has taken the stage. Nathan fiddles with his Marshall amp and his guitar. Random squeaks and feedback attack the ears. Nathan, Zach and the crowd cringe on occasion.]
Nick: Is this a new Wavves song?
[End scene.]
Scene 2:
[Wavves begins their set. The first song they play is "So Bored."]
Aaron: Nick, I think they played that [...]
Mom, we made it, or, a HEALTH live review
Mom,
Remember when I was 14 and you and Dad decided that it would be good for me to have a job? So you spoke to your friends at the Park and Rec Department and arranged to have me open the Danforth gym once a week for a golf class. I sat in an office furnished [...]

Part 1:
My roommate came home wearing all white and said he was only stopping in for a second, but he wanted to extend some positive energy my way before he left. He dripped with joy so I guess sparing some was no sweat. I said to him, I think I’m going to [...]
Gnazis
“Inglorious” means causing shame or a loss of honor. Spelling “bastards” “Basterds” juxtaposes “tards” (as in “retards”) and “terds” (as in turds) to the effect of reiterating the shameful and inhuman behavior of the nazis and, likewise, the all Jewish “Basterds.” Moving right along, it can be said that such behavior possesses an attraction for [...]
