I went to this show a couple of weeks ago and it was supergreat. I recommend that everyone go:The Worlds of Flesh and of Ink Blur in an Animated Landscape By BEN BRANTLEYPublished: February 13, 2008Flat feels surprisingly full in “The Slug Bearers of Kayrol Island (Or, the Friends of Dr. Rushower),” the droll and hypnotizing musical that opened on Tuesday night at the Vineyard Theater.

I work at this place which is interesting in many ways but there used to be a nerdy clinician guy there who piqued my interest in many ways then I found out he was 17 hundred years younger than me so he became interesting to me in another way.Anywho, he got a different job and left and a day or two after he left he sent me an email telling me about his band. I listened to the myspace songs and ...

Last Thursday I went to a show at the Sierra Grille in Northampton. The Sierra Grille is a nice restaurant which takes pride in the eats and the ambiance and its beer and wine selections.It's a nice place to go.There is something else very special about the Sierra Grille. A few years ago the Sierra Grille looked a little bit dingy-er. It was dark in there and dirty. The beer choices weren't as ...

I have a son who is 14 and he rocks. I mean, literally, with a drum kit and a guitar and sometimes the bass, etc. etc. I have taken him to many shows, exposed him to much music and although I do not play an instrument, I feel I have played my part in his musical upbringing. That said, this weekend he came to my house and brought a friend. This guy is also around 14 and he plays guitar-they are in

I guess I have heard the name, Cliff Eberhardt, but never heard the music. Last night I went to a fundraiser in South Hadley to see the Young at Heart chorus and stayed for the rest of the show, which was very enjoyable. Cliff Eberhardt played and blew my mind. He was funny and cute and played and sang really well. What's the dealio with him? I guess I'll look him up on the neater net and go se...

Last Night I went and saw/heard Randy Newman play 35 songs. He was great, powerful and funny. He was the master I imagined him to be-in control and joking and productive. Before I went to the concert I spent a little time on line looking for a set list from a previous show on this tour and couldn't dig one up so I vowed to write the songs all down and post it. It would be quicker to write down ...

I never listened or paid attention to the Posies. Like the Pixies, I always thought, "Oh, they are out there, I'll get around to them," something to look forward to, so to speak.Well, today I listened to some Posies songs and I am totally blown away. That full band sound, those winsome melodies, wow. I like that California band, Rogue Wave, very much and I can see how they must have been influence

Susie is a band that my son has created with some friends. For his eighth grade independent study project he played and recorded a five song EP. I think it is really great. You can hear some of the music on the Susie profile over on the Myspace. His dad has a recording studio, so granted, the kid has been around recording and engineering since embryo but he has really taken to it and I'm pretty...

I can't even start talking about "All That Jaws", a new musical of the Peter Benchley book/movie "Jaws". Brian Descheneaux and Martin Barrett wrote 13 songs which masterfully and amusingly tell the tale in a way that will make you feel you can die satisfied with your life. Beyond great. http://www.allthatjaws.com/
