boston // this has been a disaster

Thanks for having us.

What a rad idea. Steve Almond (author, Rock and Roll Will Save Your Life) and Ryan Walsh (singer/guitarist in Hallelujah the Hills) have joined forces to produce a monthly podcast in which they talk shop with three musicians.

Check out the two previous podcasts here!

If this sparks your interest, they’re doing it live (it’d be wrong any other way!) at Toad tonight, with:

Chris Brokaw (Come, Codeine)
Ben Potrykus (Girlfriends)
Amy Correia

music from  Orion Rigel Dommisse

My hopes for this blog is to create a virtual art class. Participants will help to create weekly assignments, anyone can respond to each assignment as many times as they wish, using any media they desire, so long as the finished project can be digitally documented and e-mailed to digthecolorseveryday … Read More

Shows like this one are not helping my newest bout of Boston-sickness.

Amoroso was one of the first local bands I ever saw in Allston. PBR is bringing presents of beer. Starlab is an excellent space. I am so jealous.
