Sitting on the outside patio of a country-western themed bar across the street from historic Fenway Park, a loud commotion appeared to be happening in the middle of Lansdowne Street. Typically a place for people to grab a sausage, and if you’re lucky, a batting practice home run flying over the Green Monster, there would…
Tonight 7/16- One Night Only – Billy Joel @ FenwayPark – 7:30pm – Not a typical recommendation and I’ll be the worst to admit “Uptown Girl” is one of the worst songs of all time. But I’ve never seen him live before, I’ve never seen a concert at Fenway, and I’m in the mood for…
Thursday the 16th: Neil Young and Band of Horses @ Susquehanna Bank Center Neil Young & Promises of the Real and Band of Horses. The chances seem pretty good that he’ll be doing some sort of weird ultra political shit but fuck it…. it’s Neil Young. I’ll be there will you? Friday the 17th: Ruby…
Charlie Parr is a man from another time. He plays country blues and he plays it damn well. Also he’s a native of the land from whence I came, so I’ve got to rep the Minnesota talent. However, even if he wasn’t from ‘The Land of 10,000 Lakes‘ I’d probably still be writing…
After speaking with Beef Wellington last night, we’ve decided that getting drunk is a piss poor excuse to not write anything. So in the spirit of professionalism and alcoholism, these thoughts are provided to you by our sponsors at $12 bottle of rum at our local liquor store. Why rum you may ask? Because it’s…
Is this what happened to the Dinosaurs? Not the ones in Jurassic World, but the ones who buried themselves in a never-ending Hoarders episode where their Vinyl collection took up so much space at home that they suffocated under fallen piles of flat discs enclosed in cardboard. It’s not easy to change formats, even if…
I’ve been away from my computer as I’ve been traveling across the country and I don’t know how to write on a phone because I’m too old and my fingers are too fat. BUT I was able to listen to music on the way as I drove past cows, cows, and more cows. Seriously. Avoid…
This is something we’ve been workshopping for awhile now. It’s been through many iterations but I’ve decided it’s time for these session to see the light of day. This is a rough outline, a pilot if you will. We’ll flesh out these EBE Sessions as time goes on and I’ll make no promises but I’d…
Seeing this band live last month was a pretty good preview for what this album was going to sound like. It’s bigger, darker, and moodier than their debut My Head is an Animal. Also, they stopped talking about the woods so much. I loved the catchy indie-folk-pop sound of their first album, but it did…
Almost time to leave Boston behind for the colder pastures (lakes?) of Minnesota. I’m not sure how much live music I will get to see there unless Bob Dylan does some sort of hometown throwdown type of thing. Still I’m sure I’ll troll the shadiest parts of Duluth looking for music (and booze (and anonymous sex)…
