On this past wintry and windy Sunday evening, Under the Influence of Giants brought their inspiring brand of dance-pop sunshine to warm up local Boston bar, Great Scott. A small crowd filled the floor as these four SoCal boys, disguised in winter coats appropriate to the 12 degree weather, hung out next to the bar’s bathroom and waited for their crew to finish setting up the stage.

Struggling through the deep winter months? Tired of dealing with snow, rain, and cold? Try going Under the Influence… of Giants, that is.

Well, I'm going to post a bit of a long one today... I've been away for a few days, working and slaving and whatnot...To go the long way round: I'm a Borders Rewards Member, which means whenever I spend my hard earned pesos at that venerable store (yes, it's cheese. the holey swiss kind) I get a little bit of "free" money socked away for me to use during the "most wonderful time of the year" (r...

Lately, my iPod, George, has been acting somewhat...odd. I am a little worried about him. I recently had to "restore" him, which was rather horrifying, as this meant I had to refill him. Casey kept saying, "It's like a clean slate! A brand new start!" No. It's the chance for me to somehow not put some tres important song back on George. It's the chance for potential disaster as I'm drivi...
