The End of the Weekly Band E-Mail
- Wed, Sep 22, 2010, 2:06 P
.....at least as done by me.
You can't imagine how often I have gone back and forth on whether or not to keep doing the Weekly Band E-Mail.
My current health situation is very complicated. Without going into all of the gory details, let's just say that I am more like that little creature from Middle Earth who is crawling around the cover of Led Zeppelin III. I am unable to stand up or walk anywhere without either Meg or one of my two kids literally holding my hands and taking me to another part of the house.
Fortunately I have six (yes, you read correctly) different doctors who are all helping me cope with all of this. The latest fear is that my kidneys are starting to fail, and I am going to have a blood test for that on Wednesday afternoon.
During the three years I have been doing this thing, all my readers have stayed with me, even when I was in the hospital and then in rehab for four months last summer. And Mik Muller has been supremely generous in allowing me to continue to post the Weekly Band E-Mail on hampmusic.com
I first saw a local group, called the Bitter End, play live at the Church in the Cove in the Montserrat section of Beverly back in 1967, and from then on I was hooked. I would go see local groups play all over the North Shore, especially at St. Adelaide's Church in Peabody, the Upbeat Teen Club in Beverly, and Someplace in Gloucester. I also used to follow certain bands around, including Teddy and the Pandas, Twelve-76, Blueberry Earth, and Royal Aircoach.
I had a radio show every Saturday afternoon on WMLO, 1570 AM in Beverly, during which time I would play as much local music as I could get my hands on at Hayes Music on Cabot Street.
I answered the phones for the Listener Line at both WBCN and WCOZ between 1970 and 1980. During the week I would go into the city and go to see local bands at the Rat, Cantones, and Bunratty's. I would buy used CDs at the record store which was next to Oona's Used Clothing by the huge Chinese restaurant that was on Mass. Ave on the left as you were going from Central Square to Harvard Square.
When I first moved in with Meg in Somerville in 1981, I used to listen to Rich Anzalone's radio show every night on 101.7FM in Lynn. About six months after I started listening, what was then WLYN-FM was bought by Stephen Mindich and turned into WFNX, and the local music that Rich used to play every night was basically gone.
But thankfully Maxanne Sartori, who did afternoons at WBCN, let Oedipus, who was not program director yet, have about 15 minutes of her show to play the music he had heard from local bands the night before. So there was always somewhere you could hear all the great local music of the time, and of course back then there were many many record stores where you could buy all of it.
And I remember a guy named Hugh Munox had a local music show called Metronome on WERS, 88.9FM, every Sunday night, and he would have a band play live every week, much like Jeff Breeze does on Pipeline! on WMBR nowadays. Not sure when Metronome was on, but I remember listening to it when I was living with Meg in Somerville.
When Meg and I moved to the 413 area code in 1987, the first thing I did was go down to WMUA and get a weekly radio show (Jim Neill was my first program director). I did all kinds of music shows at WMUA, including the Grateful Dead hour! But sometime in the mid 1990s Mal Thursday began doing a local music show every week, and his enthusiasm for the music sparked a desire in me to do a similar show on WMUA some years later.
My health forced my retirement from WMUA. But it also gave me the freedom to be able to re-invent the Weekly Band E-Mail back in mid-August of 2007. And now, some three years later, I am afraid to say that once again my health is forcing me to give up the Weekly Band E-Mail, effective immediately.
So there you go, there you have it. I appreciate all the feedback you have given me over the years. Even the most offhand of suggestions have resulted in the adoption of changes in the Weekly Band E-Mail. I will continue to support Massachusets bands and musicians by buying the CDs when available, or downloading digital copies of the CDs on iTunes if I am unable to. Thank you for the memories.
Brian Anastasi
P.S. If you want to hear a killer track from the days of the Rat back in 1979, check out this little known song from The Girls that is 5:39 of utter chaos which is what rock and roll is really all about!

WEEKLY BAND E-MAIL #145.0 September 16th - September 23rd, 2010
By BRIAN ANASTASI bananastasi@comcast.net
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Welcome to the new, stripped-down edition of the Weekly Band E-Mail. Because of my rapidly deteriorating health, there will no longer be a LISTINGS edition. Instead, there will be this format, which will call your attention to important shows and festivals coming up in the next seven days, along with news and information about Massachusetts bands, musicians, and venues. I will take out the venues that are obviously not having shows this time of year, but will include the information about how to contact the venues that are operating, leaving it up to you to check out their website to see who is playing when and how much a show is.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
So here is what will get in and will not get in from now on.
The Weekly Band E-Mail will still be about Massachusetts bands, musicians, and venues ONLY. I never could understand why people who send out press releases from indie labels in Texas and other places didn't get that. It's always been like that since I began doing it in August 2007. Just because your artist is playing at, say, Club Passim in Cambridge next month, so what? So are a zillion other acts, all of which think they are just as good if not better than your act.
But now that I will no longer be including listings, I am asking bands, musicians, and venues to take me off their lists of where they are playing. Here is a rough idea of what will and will not get in.
If you are a band or a musician and decide to take six months off, that will get in.
If you are a band or musician that is part of a benefit show, send me the details and that will get in. If you are a band that is getting back together for the first time in 10, 20, or 30 years, send me the details and that will get in.
If you are a venue and have a huge show coming up, that will get in.
If you are a venue and have a tribute to Tom Petty or a show like the recent TransPERVformance or the Night at the Zoo shows at the Elevens in Northampton, send me the info and that will get in. If you are the Palladium in Worcester and have the Rock and Shock weekend coming up, that will get in.
Here are a couple of examples of what will be in next Wednesday night's edition. Jenny Dee will be having La La Brooks of The Crystals singing with her band at the Ponderosa Stomp in October. The great Moonalice, which is comprised of many of the best members of bands from the 1960s, will be playing at the Narrows Center for the Arts in Fall River in November. The results of the Valley Advocate readers poll will be announced. (Even being nominated for one of the 27 categories is an honor, so there are no losers.) Kid:Nap:Kin is taking six months off. The Neighborhoods just released a CD of a show from the 1970s recorded at the Rat.
I will also continue to end each week with one or two national/international music stories I think you should know about. I hope this helps. And if anyone thinks they can take over the Weekly Band E-Mail please contact me. Thanks!

Irwin Silber, who as founding editor of the small but influential magazine Sing Out became a towering figure in the 1960s American folk music renaissance that brought Bob Dylan, Arlo Guthrie and numerous others to prominence, has died at age 84. He died on Wednesday, September 8th at an extended care facility in Oakland, California. His stepdaughter Nina Menendez said the cause of death was complications related to Alzheimer's disease.
Silber founded Sing Out in 1950 with legendary folk singer Pete Seeger and musicologist Alan Lomax. He also published more than a dozen books, wrote for several other publications and produced numerous folk music concerts.
At Sing Out, he worked on a shoestring budget, noting in 2001 that most of the time he collected only half of his $50 weekly salary. Nonetheless, he built the magazine into a bible of American folk music, reporting on such seminal figures as Seeger, Guthrie, Leadbelly, and Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. As a result, when a new generation of folk singers burst onto the music scene in the early 1960s, he was perfectly positioned to cover them. Sing Out carried some of the earliest reports on Dylan, Phil Ochs, Joan Baez, Judy Collins and others.

The Los Angeles Times' online music blog Pop and Hiss is reporting that the three surviving members of Buffalo Springfield will be re-uniting to perform at Neil Young's 24th annual Bridge School concerts in northern California on Saturday, October 23rd and Sunday, October 24th.
Also performing on Saturday, October 23rd will be Pearl Jam, Lucinda Williams, Elvis Costello, Merle Haggard and Kris Kristofferson, Jackson Browne with David Lindley, Billy Idol, Modest Mouse, and Grizzly Bear. Also performing on Sunday, October 24th will be Elton John and Leon Russell, who will be part of T Bone Burnett's Speaking Clock Revue, also featuring Ralph Stanley, Neko Case, Elvis Costello, and "Crazy Heart" film star Jeff Bridges. All acts will perform unplugged in keeping with the tradition of the concerts.
Buffalo Springfield was born as a country-rock band in 1966. Bass player Bruce Palmer died in 2004, and drummer Dewey Martin died in 2009.
Proceeds from the yearly shows go to benefit Neil Young's Bridge School, which generates funds and awareness for the school's programs aiding severely physically handicapped students. Neil Young has three children, Zeke and Ben, who were diagnosed with cerebral palsy, and daughter Amber Jean who, live Young himself, has epilepsy.
The Bridge School concerts are held every year at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California. Tickets go on sale through Ticketmaster this coming Sunday, September 19th.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Welcome to the new, stripped-down edition of the Weekly Band E-Mail. Because of my rapidly deteriorating health, there will no longer be a LISTINGS edition. Instead, there will be this format, which will call your attention to important shows and festivals coming up in the next seven days, along with news and information about Massachusetts bands, musicians, and venues. I will take out the venues that are obviously not having shows this time of year, but will include the information about how to contact the venues that are operating, leaving it up to you to check out their website to see who is playing when and how much a show is.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
So here is what will get in and will not get in from now on.
The Weekly Band E-Mail will still be about Massachusetts bands, musicians, and venues ONLY. I never could understand why people who send out press releases from indie labels in Texas and other places didn't get that. It's always been like that since I began doing it in August 2007. Just because your artist is playing at, say, Club Passim in Cambridge next month, so what? So are a zillion other acts, all of which think they are just as good if not better than your act.
But now that I will no longer be including listings, I am asking bands, musicians, and venues to take me off their lists of where they are playing. Here is a rough idea of what will and will not get in.
If you are a band or a musician and decide to take six months off, that will get in.
If you are a band or musician that is part of a benefit show, send me the details and that will get in. If you are a band that is getting back together for the first time in 10, 20, or 30 years, send me the details and that will get in.
If you are a venue and have a huge show coming up, that will get in.
If you are a venue and have a tribute to Tom Petty or a show like the recent TransPERVformance or the Night at the Zoo shows at the Elevens in Northampton, send me the info and that will get in. If you are the Palladium in Worcester and have the Rock and Shock weekend coming up, that will get in.
Here are a couple of examples of what will be in next Wednesday night's edition. Jenny Dee will be having La La Brooks of The Crystals singing with her band at the Ponderosa Stomp in October. The great Moonalice, which is comprised of many of the best members of bands from the 1960s, will be playing at the Narrows Center for the Arts in Fall River in November. The results of the Valley Advocate readers poll will be announced. (Even being nominated for one of the 27 categories is an honor, so there are no losers.) Kid:Nap:Kin is taking six months off. The Neighborhoods just released a CD of a show from the 1970s recorded at the Rat.
I will also continue to end each week with one or two national/international music stories I think you should know about. I hope this helps. And if anyone thinks they can take over the Weekly Band E-Mail please contact me. Thanks!

Irwin Silber, who as founding editor of the small but influential magazine Sing Out became a towering figure in the 1960s American folk music renaissance that brought Bob Dylan, Arlo Guthrie and numerous others to prominence, has died at age 84. He died on Wednesday, September 8th at an extended care facility in Oakland, California. His stepdaughter Nina Menendez said the cause of death was complications related to Alzheimer's disease.
Silber founded Sing Out in 1950 with legendary folk singer Pete Seeger and musicologist Alan Lomax. He also published more than a dozen books, wrote for several other publications and produced numerous folk music concerts.
At Sing Out, he worked on a shoestring budget, noting in 2001 that most of the time he collected only half of his $50 weekly salary. Nonetheless, he built the magazine into a bible of American folk music, reporting on such seminal figures as Seeger, Guthrie, Leadbelly, and Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. As a result, when a new generation of folk singers burst onto the music scene in the early 1960s, he was perfectly positioned to cover them. Sing Out carried some of the earliest reports on Dylan, Phil Ochs, Joan Baez, Judy Collins and others.

The Los Angeles Times' online music blog Pop and Hiss is reporting that the three surviving members of Buffalo Springfield will be re-uniting to perform at Neil Young's 24th annual Bridge School concerts in northern California on Saturday, October 23rd and Sunday, October 24th.
Also performing on Saturday, October 23rd will be Pearl Jam, Lucinda Williams, Elvis Costello, Merle Haggard and Kris Kristofferson, Jackson Browne with David Lindley, Billy Idol, Modest Mouse, and Grizzly Bear. Also performing on Sunday, October 24th will be Elton John and Leon Russell, who will be part of T Bone Burnett's Speaking Clock Revue, also featuring Ralph Stanley, Neko Case, Elvis Costello, and "Crazy Heart" film star Jeff Bridges. All acts will perform unplugged in keeping with the tradition of the concerts.
Buffalo Springfield was born as a country-rock band in 1966. Bass player Bruce Palmer died in 2004, and drummer Dewey Martin died in 2009.
Proceeds from the yearly shows go to benefit Neil Young's Bridge School, which generates funds and awareness for the school's programs aiding severely physically handicapped students. Neil Young has three children, Zeke and Ben, who were diagnosed with cerebral palsy, and daughter Amber Jean who, live Young himself, has epilepsy.
The Bridge School concerts are held every year at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California. Tickets go on sale through Ticketmaster this coming Sunday, September 19th.

Performers on the Life is Good stage include Mavis Staples, Ozomatli, Ziggy Marley, Ben Harper and Relentless7, Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue, Guster, and Jason Mraz.

There will also be a Good Kids stage, with Dan Zanes and Friends, They Might Be Giants, and the Sippy Cups. The complete schedule appears in this week's LISTINGS edition of the Weekly Band E-Mail.
The Life is Good Kids Foundation helps kids overcome life-threatening challenges such as violence, illness and extreme poverty. The Playmakers Initiative provides training, resources and support to the adults dedicated to caring for these children so that all involved lead healthier, more joyful lives.
Every year from 2004-2009, a Life is Good Festival was held to benefit Project Joy, a unique and innovative grassroots nonprofit. Project Joy had been addressing early childhood trauma through the healing power of play for over twenty years, building a community of committed Playmakers — frontline childcare professionals dedicated to the healthy development of children in need. The more Life is Good experienced this nonprofit's joyful approach and talented staff, the more they felt a kinship between the organizations. And the more they saw its transformative impact on the lives of children, the more they were wholeheartedly committed to advancing its work.
Organizers say "We signaled that commitment in a historic and dramatic way in early 2010 as we officially joined forces. Project Joy is now part of the Life is Good Kids Foundation, becoming the active service arm to carry out the Foundation's mission. Together we can transform a generation of kids sidelined by personal trauma into enthusiastic players in the game of life."
Tickets for each day are $50 for adults, $10 for kids 6-12, and free for children 5 and under. To learn more about the Life is Good Kids Foundation and Life is Good Playmakers, to purchase tickets, or for more information about the Festival, go to http://www.lifeisgood.com/

This comes from Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child:
With a national release on August 10, "Many Hands: Family Music for Haiti" is the first release from Spare the Rock Records. This unique collection of songs is filled with uplifting messages from some of today’s very best family musicians. After the January 12th, 2010 earthquake that destroyed much of the Haitian capital, family musician Dean Jones (Dog on Fleas) found himself feeling helpless and desperately wanting to help the people of Haiti. Having close friends in Haiti and feeling a deep love and respect for the music from the region, Jones felt the need to create something that could help the ongoing rebuilding effort.
The idea for Many Hands came to him in the middle of the night, and the very next day several of his fellow family musicians signed on. “When I had the idea for the Many Hands CD, I knew without a doubt that I could count on the big-hearted kindie community.” said Jones. “The generosity and the amazing work of all the musicians and everyone involved definitely exceeded my initial expectations.”
Almost all of the tracks on the album are previously unreleased, most of them recorded especially for this release. The gathering of artists featured here is a strong assortment of the unique and special talents creating and performing for today’s all ages audiences, from the legendary Pete Seeger to family hip-hop star Secret Agent 23 Skidoo. In addition, everyone involved in the process of getting this album out into the world from replication to distribution has also either drastically discounted or donated their services. Proceeds from this release will benefit the Haitian People’s Support Project and their long-standing work to help the people of Haiti.
"Many Hands" is the debut album of Spare the Rock Records, founded by kindie rock connoisseur Bill Childs. “After speaking with Dean it was immediately obvious to me that this would be a great record, and, just as importantly, that it would have the potential to help keep people’s attention on the ongoing recovery of Haiti,” recalls Childs on how the partnership came to fruition. “Dean asked for some help reaching out to a few artists, and that just naturally flowed into my helping the record get a wider release; ultimately, that meant starting a label.”
Childs produces, with his kids, the weekly radio show Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child, which is heard every Saturday morning, 7-9am, on Valley Free Radio, WXOJ-LP, 103.3FM in Northampton, and every Saturday morning, 8-10am, on WRSI, 93.9FM in Northampton. Bill also writes about kids’ music for various parenting magazines and has produced numerous kids’ concerts and is the co-founder of KindieFest, the family music conference.
Here is the track listing:
Emily Curtis - We Belong
Rani Arbo and daisy mayhem - Here We Go, Zudio

The three co-owners of the Paradise Rock Club - Bob Dunne, Declan Mehigan of Old Trafford Inc., and Don Law's Boston Opera House Ventures LLC - have spent close to $500,000 renovating the 33-year-old club. The chief complaint of both the bands and the audience over the years has been a large pole that was directly in front of the lead singer.
Since the pole could not be moved because it was basically holding the structure up, it was decided to build a brand new stage 15 feet to the left as the audience views it. The main entrance was also moved closer to Agganis Way. Renovations took three months, and the Paradise re-opened on Wednesday, September 1st with a show featuring Marina and the Diamonds..

There will also be a Good Kids stage, with Dan Zanes and Friends, They Might Be Giants, and the Sippy Cups. The complete schedule appears in this week's LISTINGS edition of the Weekly Band E-Mail.
The Life is Good Kids Foundation helps kids overcome life-threatening challenges such as violence, illness and extreme poverty. The Playmakers Initiative provides training, resources and support to the adults dedicated to caring for these children so that all involved lead healthier, more joyful lives.
Every year from 2004-2009, a Life is Good Festival was held to benefit Project Joy, a unique and innovative grassroots nonprofit. Project Joy had been addressing early childhood trauma through the healing power of play for over twenty years, building a community of committed Playmakers — frontline childcare professionals dedicated to the healthy development of children in need. The more Life is Good experienced this nonprofit's joyful approach and talented staff, the more they felt a kinship between the organizations. And the more they saw its transformative impact on the lives of children, the more they were wholeheartedly committed to advancing its work.
Organizers say "We signaled that commitment in a historic and dramatic way in early 2010 as we officially joined forces. Project Joy is now part of the Life is Good Kids Foundation, becoming the active service arm to carry out the Foundation's mission. Together we can transform a generation of kids sidelined by personal trauma into enthusiastic players in the game of life."
Tickets for each day are $50 for adults, $10 for kids 6-12, and free for children 5 and under. To learn more about the Life is Good Kids Foundation and Life is Good Playmakers, to purchase tickets, or for more information about the Festival, go to http://www.lifeisgood.com/

This comes from Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child:
With a national release on August 10, "Many Hands: Family Music for Haiti" is the first release from Spare the Rock Records. This unique collection of songs is filled with uplifting messages from some of today’s very best family musicians. After the January 12th, 2010 earthquake that destroyed much of the Haitian capital, family musician Dean Jones (Dog on Fleas) found himself feeling helpless and desperately wanting to help the people of Haiti. Having close friends in Haiti and feeling a deep love and respect for the music from the region, Jones felt the need to create something that could help the ongoing rebuilding effort.
The idea for Many Hands came to him in the middle of the night, and the very next day several of his fellow family musicians signed on. “When I had the idea for the Many Hands CD, I knew without a doubt that I could count on the big-hearted kindie community.” said Jones. “The generosity and the amazing work of all the musicians and everyone involved definitely exceeded my initial expectations.”
Almost all of the tracks on the album are previously unreleased, most of them recorded especially for this release. The gathering of artists featured here is a strong assortment of the unique and special talents creating and performing for today’s all ages audiences, from the legendary Pete Seeger to family hip-hop star Secret Agent 23 Skidoo. In addition, everyone involved in the process of getting this album out into the world from replication to distribution has also either drastically discounted or donated their services. Proceeds from this release will benefit the Haitian People’s Support Project and their long-standing work to help the people of Haiti.
"Many Hands" is the debut album of Spare the Rock Records, founded by kindie rock connoisseur Bill Childs. “After speaking with Dean it was immediately obvious to me that this would be a great record, and, just as importantly, that it would have the potential to help keep people’s attention on the ongoing recovery of Haiti,” recalls Childs on how the partnership came to fruition. “Dean asked for some help reaching out to a few artists, and that just naturally flowed into my helping the record get a wider release; ultimately, that meant starting a label.”
Childs produces, with his kids, the weekly radio show Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child, which is heard every Saturday morning, 7-9am, on Valley Free Radio, WXOJ-LP, 103.3FM in Northampton, and every Saturday morning, 8-10am, on WRSI, 93.9FM in Northampton. Bill also writes about kids’ music for various parenting magazines and has produced numerous kids’ concerts and is the co-founder of KindieFest, the family music conference.
Here is the track listing:
Emily Curtis - We Belong
Rani Arbo and daisy mayhem - Here We Go, Zudio

The three co-owners of the Paradise Rock Club - Bob Dunne, Declan Mehigan of Old Trafford Inc., and Don Law's Boston Opera House Ventures LLC - have spent close to $500,000 renovating the 33-year-old club. The chief complaint of both the bands and the audience over the years has been a large pole that was directly in front of the lead singer.
Since the pole could not be moved because it was basically holding the structure up, it was decided to build a brand new stage 15 feet to the left as the audience views it. The main entrance was also moved closer to Agganis Way. Renovations took three months, and the Paradise re-opened on Wednesday, September 1st with a show featuring Marina and the Diamonds..

Tommy Allen and Sarah Cronin, who together make up the Boston band Drug Rug, need a new van. Here is the notice that Tommy and Sarah sent to their fans and to BBC:
Dear People of Earth,
We are a band with a dream. We have been blessed with the opportunity to live this dream. All that is missing is the dream mobile.
Back in early February, our old van, Pee-Wee was on his last legs. He had many problems that were unfortunately too expensive for us to fix. We had to leave Pee Wee at the junkyard.
Since then, we have had to spend money on rental vans in order to tour, making it impossible to save up for a new van of our own. As of yet, with no vehicle to depend on, we are unable to make plans to tour in the future.
We want to keep doing what we love. We want to be able to share our music with the rest of the country! This is where you come in. We need your help, the help of our fans. We can't do this without you guys!
We are teaming up with Kickstarter to raise the money for a new van. You can choose to support us by donating various different amounts, and in return you get various fantastic prizes offered by us! Please take a minute to watch the video we made, and we hope you will be a part of our project! We can't wait to get back out on the road, and we know together we can make this happen!! Thank you so much for all of your support, and hopefully we'll see you soon!

This comes from Exploit Boston!, a Boston Music Blog:
15 questions from Clay Fernald, Publicity and Promotions Manager for the Middle East in Cambridge:
1. Who is one of your favorite up and coming bands in Boston?
Have you heard the Jinx Bros? They play Delta/Piedmont blues. Sometimes the duo employs a washtub! I love seeing young guys playing an old style of music. Steve and Eric are such great performers and always get the crowd jumpin’.
2. What makes the Boston music scene great?
Our history and our reverence to it. The ’80s and ’90s rockers beget the early 2000s rockers. The 2000s rockers beget the electronic and DJ culture that we see now. New bands are growing up being influenced by what’s happened here. Reunions are abound. Bands I never thought I’d see play again are hitting it full force and it’s hard to keep up with all of the new projects! In the last year I’ve seen The Prime Movers, The Satanics, Orchestra Morphine, Treat Her Right
The F.U.'s and Roadsaw. Also, I’ve been at practically every Viva Viva show. Bands like Doomstar! are branching out into new but familiar territory. This is an exciting time. Almost everyone’s a DJ, including myself, and it’s fun to hear people with great taste spin their favorite tunes.
3. How did you end up in Boston?
I grew up in Abington, on the South Shore of Massachusetts. I studied at Massachusetts College of Art and Design, for a BFA in the Studio for Interrelated Media(SIM). SIM is a diverse program, close to an open major but not quite. I directed my own study in SIM toward spoken word performance, graphic design, event production, video, and painting. I saw my professor at a video event for another SIM graduate recently. I pulled him aside and said, “I’ve finally woken up, all of the work I did in SIM directly pointed me in the direction of this career path I am on, thank you”. I’ve been in Boston since I’ve graduated, playing in bands, working in book publishing (another passion of mine), and making the most of my time in this universe.
4. What invention are you waiting for?
Time Machine. I’m a comic book guy. Almost all cool comics incorporate a time machine. I’d be even more stoked if it looked like Jack Kirby drew it!
5. What is your motto?
One day at a time.
6. What is one of your favorite spots in Boston to get ice cream?
My favorite frozen yogurt store is Berry Line in Harvard Square. Watermelon with fresh kiwi on top, with Hershey’s syrup. That’s what’s up.
7. Who would play you in a movie about your life?
Seth Green. I’m watching Buffy from the beginning. Just started Season 3.
8. How do you find new music?
I’ve got a great network of friends that suggest I check something out. Also, when I’m at shows I pay attention to the opening bands. That’s the talent pool!
9. Who is one of your favorite bands?
The Hellacopters — Sweeden's best KISS and soul-influenced rock and roll band.
10. If you were doing something else for work, what would it be?
Writing, drawing, coloring, or lettering comic books.
11. What's the song for your life's soundtrack this year?
Cassidy – “Gotta Get My Paper Up” Not because I’m rolling in the dough; but just because this is such a fun summer jam. Crazy hook, and a Naughty By Nature “hey…ho.”
“My pockets full like they ate too much!”
12. What was the song for your life's soundtrack 10 years ago?
311 -- “Don’t Stay Home.”
“Don’t change the mold kid, just eat around it, that’s what I did.”
What?
13. Who inspires you?
My nieces Darby and Macie! I want them to have a great world to live in, and have the tools to deal with the culture at large. The potential energy of children is truly inspiring.
14. You're stuck on a deserted island with someone from the Boston music scene. Who would it be and why?
Duncan Wilder Johnson. That’s my dude. Fellow SIM grad. He’d tell me the same Slayer story over and over again, but each time it would be different, and better. I’m now wishing the first person to come to mind was a girl. Oh well. No turning back now.
15. What is your super power?
Spider-strength. The whole Spider-Man thing actually.

This comes from Susan Scotti of the Last Call Agency:
Fans of the late John Lennon will undoubtedly commemorate what would have been his 70th birthday on October 9th, 2010 in a variety of ways, but one of the most unique tributes will come from fellow musicians, namely the folk/rock artists Rex Fowler of Aztec Two-Step and Tom Dean of Devonsquare. Together, they have produced "Imagined: The John Lennon Song Project," a thoughtfully re-imagined tribute that celebrates the genius and artistry of John Lennon.
The "Imagined" CD combines a number of Lennon's songs in new and unexpected ways, weaving melody, lyric and song together in a series of single songs and mini-medleys. The CD also features Dean's former band mate Alana MacDonald and a host of talented musicians who provide backing on acoustic and electric guitars, bass, cello, violin, mandolin, accordion, chromatic harmonica and percussion. The CD is scheduled for release on John Lennon's 70th birthday, October 9th, 2010.
In conjunction with the release of the CD, Imagined: The John Lennon Song Project live concert will be touring this fall and throughout 2011, and will be stopping at the Regent Theatre in Arlington on Saturday, October 9th at 8pm. Tickets for this show may be purchased in advance for $25 and a $3 service charge at http://www.regenttheatre.com/
Aztec Two-Step burst onto the scene with their self-titled debut album on Elektra Records in 1972. Since then, Rex Fowler and Neal Shulman have spend a lifetime making music together as the folk/rock duo Aztec Two Step.
As their recording career continued, so did the critical acclaim. In 1987, "Living in America" received the New York Music Award for Best Folk Album, and was named in Billboard Magazine's year-end critics poll. Of their 2005 release, "Days of Horses," The Boston Globe said "fans of the duo's harmony-driven tunes and easygoing acoustic guitar riffs will recognize their James Taylor-meets-Simon and Garfunkel sound. What's new is the mood. This album sits back on its haunches as Rex Fowler and Neal Shulman look back wistfully at American pop culture and their own ride through it." In June 2007, Real Simple, a popular national lifestyle magazine, named Aztec Two-Step one of the top five classic folk albums, joining work by Bob Dylan, Judy Collins, Tom Rush and Phil Ochs. The article cites the duo as "surpass(ing) Simon and Garfunkel for exquisite harmonies, musicianship and emotion." Aztec Two Step continues to be one of acoustic music's most popular and enduring acts.
For 20 years, Dean, MacDonald, and Herb Ludwig toured the U.S. and Europe and released five CDs. A devoted fan base followed these three musicians from coast to coast to hear the shimmering three-part harmonies and award-winning songs that have earned them an international reputation. In 1988, Atlantic Records chairman Ahmet Ertegun heard them and signed them immediately to his record company. Their CD, "Walking on Ice," was released to critical acclaim in 1988. It's title track reached the Top 20 on the national AC charts and was a breakthrough NAC hit.
They immediately began work on their next CD "Bye Bye Route 66" which was released in January 1992. This CD spawned the singles "If You Could See Me Now" and "Bye Bye Route 66" which received rave reviews from radio and print media. It also earned them a nomination for "Best New Act" at the 1992 Boston Music Awards. This CD, produced by Fowler and Dean, is dedicated to the late Herb Ludwig and John Lennon. All songs were written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney except Imagine by John Lennon and Johnny’s An Angel by Rex Fowler.

This comes from Susan Scotti of the Last Call Agency:
Fans of the late John Lennon will undoubtedly commemorate what would have been his 70th birthday on October 9th, 2010 in a variety of ways, but one of the most unique tributes will come from fellow musicians, namely the folk/rock artists Rex Fowler of Aztec Two-Step and Tom Dean of Devonsquare. Together, they have produced "Imagined: The John Lennon Song Project," a thoughtfully re-imagined tribute that celebrates the genius and artistry of John Lennon.
The "Imagined" CD combines a number of Lennon's songs in new and unexpected ways, weaving melody, lyric and song together in a series of single songs and mini-medleys. The CD also features Dean's former band mate Alana MacDonald and a host of talented musicians who provide backing on acoustic and electric guitars, bass, cello, violin, mandolin, accordion, chromatic harmonica and percussion. The CD is scheduled for release on John Lennon's 70th birthday, October 9th, 2010.
In conjunction with the release of the CD, Imagined: The John Lennon Song Project live concert will be touring this fall and throughout 2011, and will be stopping at the Regent Theatre in Arlington on Saturday, October 9th at 8pm. Tickets for this show may be purchased in advance for $25 and a $3 service charge at http://www.regenttheatre.com/
Aztec Two-Step burst onto the scene with their self-titled debut album on Elektra Records in 1972. Since then, Rex Fowler and Neal Shulman have spend a lifetime making music together as the folk/rock duo Aztec Two Step.
As their recording career continued, so did the critical acclaim. In 1987, "Living in America" received the New York Music Award for Best Folk Album, and was named in Billboard Magazine's year-end critics poll. Of their 2005 release, "Days of Horses," The Boston Globe said "fans of the duo's harmony-driven tunes and easygoing acoustic guitar riffs will recognize their James Taylor-meets-Simon and Garfunkel sound. What's new is the mood. This album sits back on its haunches as Rex Fowler and Neal Shulman look back wistfully at American pop culture and their own ride through it." In June 2007, Real Simple, a popular national lifestyle magazine, named Aztec Two-Step one of the top five classic folk albums, joining work by Bob Dylan, Judy Collins, Tom Rush and Phil Ochs. The article cites the duo as "surpass(ing) Simon and Garfunkel for exquisite harmonies, musicianship and emotion." Aztec Two Step continues to be one of acoustic music's most popular and enduring acts.
For 20 years, Dean, MacDonald, and Herb Ludwig toured the U.S. and Europe and released five CDs. A devoted fan base followed these three musicians from coast to coast to hear the shimmering three-part harmonies and award-winning songs that have earned them an international reputation. In 1988, Atlantic Records chairman Ahmet Ertegun heard them and signed them immediately to his record company. Their CD, "Walking on Ice," was released to critical acclaim in 1988. It's title track reached the Top 20 on the national AC charts and was a breakthrough NAC hit.
They immediately began work on their next CD "Bye Bye Route 66" which was released in January 1992. This CD spawned the singles "If You Could See Me Now" and "Bye Bye Route 66" which received rave reviews from radio and print media. It also earned them a nomination for "Best New Act" at the 1992 Boston Music Awards. This CD, produced by Fowler and Dean, is dedicated to the late Herb Ludwig and John Lennon. All songs were written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney except Imagine by John Lennon and Johnny’s An Angel by Rex Fowler.

Forty years ago this coming weekend, 600,000 flower children set sail for the Isle of Wight, an island off southern England, for a five-day event in search of peace, love, and understanding. Many people consider this to be the largest gathering for a rock music festival in history, although I would have to say that the Watkins Glen Summer Jam, which was held on Saturday, July 28th, 1973, and which I went to (and remember!!!) also drew 600,000 people.
The Regent Theatre in Arlington will be commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Isle of Wight with a three-day film festival all this weekend. Ticket prices are based on how many films you want to see. It is $10 for one film, $18 for two films, $24 for three films, $28 for four films; or $30 for five or more. For complete details, go to: http://www.regenttheatre.com/events/isle_wight.htm The line-up is as follows:
Friday, August 27th, 7:30pm
Saturday, August 28th, 7:30pm
Sunday, August 29th, 2pm
Message to Love
Message to Love has captured on film what many have called the last great rock festival. In 1970, half a million flower children set sail for the Isle of Wight, an island of southern England for a five-day event in search of peace, love, and understanding. Amidst the chaos of what’s been called “Britain’s Woodstock” many of those hippie ideals were lost. This long-awaited feature film documents one of the most significant events in rock ‘n’ roll history. Two hours of footage highlights legendary performances by the WHO, Joan Baez, Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell, Free, The Moody Blues, Ten Years After, and Jethro Tull – and the last stage performance of Jim Morrison with the Doors, and by Jimi Hendrix – 18 days before his death. Their music stands the test of time, as does this film, as it recalls the sheer hedonism of hippydom, the backstage backstabbing that almost wrecked the festival, and the final passing of an age of innocence – the last great event. (120 min.)
Friday, August 27th, 10pm
The Who Live at the Isle of Wight
The original WHO line-up performing a full live set in front of 600,000 people at the Isle of Wight Festival in UK in 1970. At 2 am on August 30th…The WHO appeared on stage and gave one of the most memorable concerts of their career. The filmed negative of the show, shot by Academy Award winning Director Murray Lerner, has been restored to the highest visual quality. The sound has now been remixed from its original 8 track tapes under the personal supervision of Pete Townshend at his Eel Pie Studios in London. (85 min.)
Saturday, August 28th, 2pm
The Moody Blues: Threshold of a Dream
In late August 1970, shortly after the release of their album “A Question of Balance”, The Moody Blues took to the stage of the Isle of Wight Festival in front of an audience estimated at over half a million. The band were at their creative and commercial peak after a succession of albums that had enjoyed unprecedented global success. This film from award winning director Murray Lerner combines the band’s live performance from the 1970 festival with archive footage and new interviews with Graeme Edge, Justin Hayward, John Lodge and Mike Pinder setting the band’s performance in the context of the time. (79 min.)
Saturday, August 28th, 3:30pm
Emerson, Lake and Palmer: The Birth of a Band
In August 1970, 600,000 people, the largest audience in the history of pop music to date, attended the Isle of Wight festival and experienced the debut performance of a new “supergroup”: Emerson, Lake, & Palmer. With a spectacular stage show that included real cannons being fired over the heads of the audience, they became overnight stars with the press raving about their virtuosity and daring. Intercut with the live footage from the show, this film also features brand new interviews with Keith Emerson, Greg Lake, and Carl Palmer, as well as their then-manager John Gaydon, and creates a vivid portrait of the birth of a band. (67 min.)
Saturday, August 28th, 5pm
Jethro Tull: Nothing Is Easy
Sunday August 30th, 1970, 600,000 people, the largest audience in the history of pop music to date, were about to experience on of Jethro Tull’s most impressive performances at the Isle of Wight Festival. “Nothing Is Easy” is directed by award winning filmmaker Murray Lerner, who also directed and partly shot the original footage of the festival. It contains film of the band’s outstanding live performance combined with a brand new interview with Ian Anderson, describing the dramatic, almost violent, festival moods, both backstage and in the audience. As he said “it was a watershed time” between peace and love on one hand, and hooliganism on the other. This is supplemented by early career archive footage including Jethro Tull’s performance of “A Song For Jeffrey” on the “The Rolling Stones’ Rock and Roll Circus”, which features Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath) during his very short stint as the band’s guitarist. (80 min.)
Saturday, August 28th, 10pm
Blue Wild Angel: Jimi Hendrix at the Isle of Wight
This film documents the guitarist’s legendary performance before 600,000 people at this massive outdoor music and arts festival in August of 1970. This unforgettable concert film experience draws heavily upon Academy Award(tm) winning Director Murray Lerner’s vast archive of previously unseen performance footage and presents some of Hendrix’s finest ever concert performances, including extended takes of “Machine Gun”, “Red House”, and other favorites such as “All Along the Watchtower”, “Voodoo Child (Slight Return),” and a unique medley of “God Save the Queen” and “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”. New interviews with Jimi Hendrix Experience band members Mitch Mitchell, Billy Cox, and others set the stage for the concert footage that follows. In addition to providing the definitive look at one of the landmark events in Hendrix’s storied career, Blue Wild Angel features a soundtrack newly mixed by Hendrix’s original recording engineer Eddie Kramer. (107 min.)
Sunday, August 29th, 7pm
Miles Electric: A Different Kind of Blue
On August 29th, 1970 Miles Davis and his band played to 600,000 people at The Isle of Wight Festival in the UK. When asked the title of his one track set, Miles said “call it anything”. This documentary dramatizes the difficult transition Miles went through during his change to an electric period in the face of extremely negative reactions from the jazz establishment. It includes in-depth interviews and musical tributes from many of his sidemen and other musicians including Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Carlos Santana, Joni Mitchell, Keith Jarrett, and Dave Liebman; features excerpts from many of his classic performances including “Bitches Brew” and culminates in the legendary full 38 minute concert of the Isle of Wight. (87 min.)
Sunday, August 29th, 9pm
Leonard Cohen: Live at the Isle of Wight
Nearly 40 summers ago on August 31, 1970, 35-year-old Leonard Cohen was awakened at 2 a.m. from a nap in his trailer and brought onstage to perform with his band at the third annual Isle Of Wight music festival. The audience of 600,000 was in a fiery and frenzied mood, after turning the festival into a political arena, trampling the fences, setting fire to structures and equipment – and stoked by the most incendiary performance of Jimi Hendrix’s career. As Cohen followed Hendrix’s set, onlookers and (fellow festival headliners) Joan Baez, Kris Kristofferson, Judy Collins and others stood sidestage in awe as the Canadian folksinger-songwriter-poet-novelist quietly tamed the crowd. Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Murray Lerner (From Mao To Mozart, Festival, Message To Love), perfectly captured Cohen’s performance. Experience the energy, drama and magic of the 1970 Isle of Wight music Festival through the songs, musings and poetry of a true legend- Leonard Cohen. (64 min.)
By the time Murray Lerner graduated from Harvard University, he had already co-produced and co-directed a full-length feature film that was LIFE Magazine's "Movie of the Week" and helped co-fund the first ?lm production society in the school's history. Lerner felt that film should be a unified art and taught himself every aspect of filmmaking, an ideal he continues to prize to this day as an active writer, director, cinematographer and editor.

Forty years ago this coming weekend, 600,000 flower children set sail for the Isle of Wight, an island off southern England, for a five-day event in search of peace, love, and understanding. Many people consider this to be the largest gathering for a rock music festival in history, although I would have to say that the Watkins Glen Summer Jam, which was held on Saturday, July 28th, 1973, and which I went to (and remember!!!) also drew 600,000 people.
The Regent Theatre in Arlington will be commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Isle of Wight with a three-day film festival all this weekend. Ticket prices are based on how many films you want to see. It is $10 for one film, $18 for two films, $24 for three films, $28 for four films; or $30 for five or more. For complete details, go to: http://www.regenttheatre.com/events/isle_wight.htm The line-up is as follows:
Friday, August 27th, 7:30pm
Saturday, August 28th, 7:30pm
Sunday, August 29th, 2pm
Message to Love
Message to Love has captured on film what many have called the last great rock festival. In 1970, half a million flower children set sail for the Isle of Wight, an island of southern England for a five-day event in search of peace, love, and understanding. Amidst the chaos of what’s been called “Britain’s Woodstock” many of those hippie ideals were lost. This long-awaited feature film documents one of the most significant events in rock ‘n’ roll history. Two hours of footage highlights legendary performances by the WHO, Joan Baez, Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell, Free, The Moody Blues, Ten Years After, and Jethro Tull – and the last stage performance of Jim Morrison with the Doors, and by Jimi Hendrix – 18 days before his death. Their music stands the test of time, as does this film, as it recalls the sheer hedonism of hippydom, the backstage backstabbing that almost wrecked the festival, and the final passing of an age of innocence – the last great event. (120 min.)
Friday, August 27th, 10pm
The Who Live at the Isle of Wight
The original WHO line-up performing a full live set in front of 600,000 people at the Isle of Wight Festival in UK in 1970. At 2 am on August 30th…The WHO appeared on stage and gave one of the most memorable concerts of their career. The filmed negative of the show, shot by Academy Award winning Director Murray Lerner, has been restored to the highest visual quality. The sound has now been remixed from its original 8 track tapes under the personal supervision of Pete Townshend at his Eel Pie Studios in London. (85 min.)
Saturday, August 28th, 2pm
The Moody Blues: Threshold of a Dream
In late August 1970, shortly after the release of their album “A Question of Balance”, The Moody Blues took to the stage of the Isle of Wight Festival in front of an audience estimated at over half a million. The band were at their creative and commercial peak after a succession of albums that had enjoyed unprecedented global success. This film from award winning director Murray Lerner combines the band’s live performance from the 1970 festival with archive footage and new interviews with Graeme Edge, Justin Hayward, John Lodge and Mike Pinder setting the band’s performance in the context of the time. (79 min.)
Saturday, August 28th, 3:30pm
Emerson, Lake and Palmer: The Birth of a Band
In August 1970, 600,000 people, the largest audience in the history of pop music to date, attended the Isle of Wight festival and experienced the debut performance of a new “supergroup”: Emerson, Lake, & Palmer. With a spectacular stage show that included real cannons being fired over the heads of the audience, they became overnight stars with the press raving about their virtuosity and daring. Intercut with the live footage from the show, this film also features brand new interviews with Keith Emerson, Greg Lake, and Carl Palmer, as well as their then-manager John Gaydon, and creates a vivid portrait of the birth of a band. (67 min.)
Saturday, August 28th, 5pm
Jethro Tull: Nothing Is Easy
Sunday August 30th, 1970, 600,000 people, the largest audience in the history of pop music to date, were about to experience on of Jethro Tull’s most impressive performances at the Isle of Wight Festival. “Nothing Is Easy” is directed by award winning filmmaker Murray Lerner, who also directed and partly shot the original footage of the festival. It contains film of the band’s outstanding live performance combined with a brand new interview with Ian Anderson, describing the dramatic, almost violent, festival moods, both backstage and in the audience. As he said “it was a watershed time” between peace and love on one hand, and hooliganism on the other. This is supplemented by early career archive footage including Jethro Tull’s performance of “A Song For Jeffrey” on the “The Rolling Stones’ Rock and Roll Circus”, which features Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath) during his very short stint as the band’s guitarist. (80 min.)
Saturday, August 28th, 10pm
Blue Wild Angel: Jimi Hendrix at the Isle of Wight
This film documents the guitarist’s legendary performance before 600,000 people at this massive outdoor music and arts festival in August of 1970. This unforgettable concert film experience draws heavily upon Academy Award(tm) winning Director Murray Lerner’s vast archive of previously unseen performance footage and presents some of Hendrix’s finest ever concert performances, including extended takes of “Machine Gun”, “Red House”, and other favorites such as “All Along the Watchtower”, “Voodoo Child (Slight Return),” and a unique medley of “God Save the Queen” and “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”. New interviews with Jimi Hendrix Experience band members Mitch Mitchell, Billy Cox, and others set the stage for the concert footage that follows. In addition to providing the definitive look at one of the landmark events in Hendrix’s storied career, Blue Wild Angel features a soundtrack newly mixed by Hendrix’s original recording engineer Eddie Kramer. (107 min.)
Sunday, August 29th, 7pm
Miles Electric: A Different Kind of Blue
On August 29th, 1970 Miles Davis and his band played to 600,000 people at The Isle of Wight Festival in the UK. When asked the title of his one track set, Miles said “call it anything”. This documentary dramatizes the difficult transition Miles went through during his change to an electric period in the face of extremely negative reactions from the jazz establishment. It includes in-depth interviews and musical tributes from many of his sidemen and other musicians including Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Carlos Santana, Joni Mitchell, Keith Jarrett, and Dave Liebman; features excerpts from many of his classic performances including “Bitches Brew” and culminates in the legendary full 38 minute concert of the Isle of Wight. (87 min.)
Sunday, August 29th, 9pm
Leonard Cohen: Live at the Isle of Wight
Nearly 40 summers ago on August 31, 1970, 35-year-old Leonard Cohen was awakened at 2 a.m. from a nap in his trailer and brought onstage to perform with his band at the third annual Isle Of Wight music festival. The audience of 600,000 was in a fiery and frenzied mood, after turning the festival into a political arena, trampling the fences, setting fire to structures and equipment – and stoked by the most incendiary performance of Jimi Hendrix’s career. As Cohen followed Hendrix’s set, onlookers and (fellow festival headliners) Joan Baez, Kris Kristofferson, Judy Collins and others stood sidestage in awe as the Canadian folksinger-songwriter-poet-novelist quietly tamed the crowd. Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Murray Lerner (From Mao To Mozart, Festival, Message To Love), perfectly captured Cohen’s performance. Experience the energy, drama and magic of the 1970 Isle of Wight music Festival through the songs, musings and poetry of a true legend- Leonard Cohen. (64 min.)
By the time Murray Lerner graduated from Harvard University, he had already co-produced and co-directed a full-length feature film that was LIFE Magazine's "Movie of the Week" and helped co-fund the first ?lm production society in the school's history. Lerner felt that film should be a unified art and taught himself every aspect of filmmaking, an ideal he continues to prize to this day as an active writer, director, cinematographer and editor.

Shelburne Falls resident and MPress Recording Artist Seth Glier is once again participating in The Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland.
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe (The Fringe) is the world’s largest arts festival. Established in 1947 as an alternative to the Edinburgh International Festival, it takes place in Scotland's capital during three weeks every August alongside several other arts and cultural festivals, collectively known as the Edinburgh Festival, of which the Fringe is by far the largest.
Fringe 2009 sold 1,859,235 tickets for 34,265 performances of 2,098 shows in 265 venues, over 25 days, for an average of over 74,000 admissions and 1,300 performances per day. There were an estimated 18,901 performers, from 60 countries.
This year Seth will be performing twice as many shows as he did last year, supporting Rachel Sage at the Carlton Hotel. For more info on the Fringe, go to http://www.edfringe.com/

Boston Band Crush, a daily blog that chronicles the Boston music scene (and which I get much of my information from), presents the second annual One Night Band show at the Middle East down in Cambridge on Saturday, August 21st, starting at 8pm.
BBC selected 40 musicians, whom they have interviewed in their blog over the past 40 days. These 40 musicians will be gathering early Saturday morning and broken up into random groups of five. Then these eight new groups will have all day to work out a set of four songs, which they will perform at the ME on Saturday night.The fun begins at 8pm. Tickets are $10 in advance or $12 on the day of the show. This is an 18+ show, and advance tickets are available at http://www.mideastclub.com
All proceeds benefit the Zumix arts space in East Boston. For ihfo on Zumix, go to http://www.zumix.org

Among the new releases at Newbury Comics this past Tuesday, August 17th, were CDs by Duke Robillard and Ray LaMontagne and the Pariah Dogs. Duke Robillard's new CD is "Passport to the Blues" and is available for $11.88, and Ray LaMontagne's new CD "The Lord's Willing and the Creek Don't Rise" is available for $12.88 at all Newbury Comics locations.
Of course, the title of the new Ray LaMontagne CD was the line that Charles Laquidara used to end his "Big Mattress" show with every morning on WBCN, and the "Creek Don't Rise" portion refers to the Creek Indians, not a creek that holds water. I'm wondering if Ray was able to get WBCN up in Maine while he was growing up. It's possible. When I was living in Beverly on the North Shore of Boston, I used to listen to The Blimp back when it was at 107.9FM in Lewiston-Auburn, although I would have to turn my radio around to negate WXKS out of Medford. Of course those were the good old days. Now that The Blimp is at 102.9FM out of Portland, and is 100,000 watts, you can get it practically everywhere. But now The Blimp is owned by Clear Channel, so nobody really cares any more, especially with WCLZ at 98.9 in North Yarmouth.
Actually, The Blimp is most likely one of the three most powerful radio stations in New England. I can get it in three or four times a summer by skip way out here in Amherst and Northampton. And I can also get quite clearly WGBH, 89.7FM, which has its transmitter on top of Great Blue Hill (hence the call letters) in Milton. But probably the most powerful station in New England is a country music station called "The Peak," WPKQ, 103.7FM in North Conway, NH, which has its transmitter on top of Mount Washington. Imagine being the person who has to scrape ice off that antenna in the winter!

This comes from Mal Thursday:
There will be a 30th anniversary show of the ZONE Art Center at the Canal Gallery, 380 Dwight Street in Holyoke, on Saturday, September 11th at 7pm. Performing will be 8th Route Army, The Malarians, Bamboo Steamers, Art Kritics, Donut Kings, and Thrill Pillow.
The Malarians re-formed and played at Church of Boston, The Sierra Grill in Northampton, and the Lucky Dog Music Hall in Worcester back in mid-June. Now Mal says:
Yeah, I'm re-returning to the Valley for two shows next month. After the success of the Tour of Route 9, it's The Mini-Tour of Route 5!
The ZONE was the epicenter of the western Mass. punk scene in the '80s, a non-profit arts space in downtown Springfield that put on semi-monthly all-ages shows featuring an eclectic mix of local bands, as well as providing gallery exhibitions for all manner of area artists. The city let the ZONE die rather than ensuring its future with a little funding, and instead of a funky arts space where kids could go see music in an alcohol- and drug-free environment, they got more strip clubs and lame discos.
The Malarians' 1990 live album, the aptly titled "Finished In This Town," was recorded there. The Malarians' "In the Cool Room" and the 2-for-1 deluxe reissue of "Know" and "Finished In This Town" are available as mp3 albums on amazon.com and iTunes.

There will be a very special show at the Iron Horse in Northampton on Friday, September 10th, beginning at 7pm. It will be a celebration of the Lonesome Brothers' 25th anniversary as a band and Ray Mason's 60th birthday. Tickets are $10 in advance or $13 at the door, and may be purchased online at http://www.iheg.com/
I asked Ray Mason to reflect on his life as a musician, and this is what he came up with.
RAY MASON: IN HIS OWN WORDS
I was born in Holyoke, MA in 1950 and grew up there for the first 20 or so years and then moved all the way up the road to Northampton! We always had some 45 record playing and I remember starting to buy singles of my own in 1959 at W. T. Grants on High St. in Holyoke. Those singles were definitely my earliest influences: Everly Brothers, Sam Cooke, Duane Eddy....the list goes on.
I started playing guitar around 1964 when I received my 1st Silvertone (with the amp in the case) as a gift for my 8th grade graduation. I took lessons right near where we lived in the housing project at George Crete's Music Center on Dwight St. in Holyoke. At that time I wanted to learn Beatles' tunes but ended up being taught "Down In The Valley".
I was never too good at copying records or what other guitarists were doing so that's how I ended up starting to write my own songs. Watching The beatles on Ed Sullivan I was amazed at how long George Harrison's fingers were and the chords he played just boggled my mind! I loved it!!
My band started in one form or another around 1980-81 and the Lonesomes in 1985. At that point (80-81) I figured I had been stockpiling tunes and wanted to see how they might sound with a band. I was also playing solo gigs with just myself and the Silvertone. Meanwhile Jim Armenti & I had been playing in a local country band and decided to start the Lonesomes in 85' as a side project. Now here we are 25 years later!
I started writing tunes in the 1960's because (as I said above) I didn't know how to copy records. The first song I wrote was called "Never" and I had my first song copywritten in 1967 called "Nothing Seems To Happen". Very appropriate title! Some tunes I write are true and autobiographical while others are totally fabricated but still tell a story or make a comment on everyday life's little things. The last so many years or so I've been filling up notebooks with song titles and then going back and writing the song. Something about that that makes sense to me.
I started playing in my first band in 1966 (The Gladiators out of Holyoke) and yes, there really have been over 6,000 gigs since. Some of my all time favorites were opening many shows (since 1972) for NRBQ. What a treat to play and then kick back and watch your favorite band all in one night. They've been such an influence and inspiration. So many other gigs like the Newport Folk Festival and Prairie Home Companion with the Lonesome Brothers. Getting to play bass with Steve Forbert and Willie Nile at the Iron Horse. Getting to sit in on guitar with Alejandro Escovedo and James McMurtry. Having Jimmie Dale Gilmore sit in with the Lonesome Brothers at The Basement in Northampton. All the gigs with my band (Frank Marsh, Stephen Desaulniers & Tom Shea) and the Lonesome Brothers (Jim Armenti & Tom Shea). Working in the studio with Jim Weeks on many recordings. Many great opening slots for The Band, Warren Zevon, Chris Whitley, Marshall Crenshaw, Graham Parker, Nils Lofgren, The Bottle Rockets, Yo La Tengo......the list goes on. There's way too many to even begin mentioning! As far as tough gigs go I remember playing in Rock Island, IL around 1969 or 70'. Six nights a week, six sets a night from 9 p.m. - 3 a.m. Now that was work! I also remember playing two sets solo outside in a gazebo up near Albany where it was so cold I had to play while wearing my winter jacket. All the people sat in their cars watching me from a distance. That's one I wouldn't want to play again!
I don't want to harp on that music was better back when because everyone seems to be majorly influenced by the music that they grew up listening to. There's always great music to seek out and listen to but the records I always go back to are the ones that have been part of my life for a long time. Don't know much about ProTools and technology!
We're hoping that the Iron Horse show on September 10th will be a party for everyone who has shown us any kind of support over all these years. It is much appreciated. We're just trying to play and write the best songs we can. It's always been that way. We don't talk about it. I suppose approaching 60 is a big one but what I'm really looking forward to is the prospect of some senior citizen discounts!

Fringe 2009 sold 1,859,235 tickets for 34,265 performances of 2,098 shows in 265 venues, over 25 days, for an average of over 74,000 admissions and 1,300 performances per day. There were an estimated 18,901 performers, from 60 countries.
This year Seth will be performing twice as many shows as he did last year, supporting Rachel Sage at the Carlton Hotel. For more info on the Fringe, go to http://www.edfringe.com/

Among the new releases at Newbury Comics this past Tuesday, August 17th, were CDs by Duke Robillard and Ray LaMontagne and the Pariah Dogs. Duke Robillard's new CD is "Passport to the Blues" and is available for $11.88, and Ray LaMontagne's new CD "The Lord's Willing and the Creek Don't Rise" is available for $12.88 at all Newbury Comics locations.
Of course, the title of the new Ray LaMontagne CD was the line that Charles Laquidara used to end his "Big Mattress" show with every morning on WBCN, and the "Creek Don't Rise" portion refers to the Creek Indians, not a creek that holds water. I'm wondering if Ray was able to get WBCN up in Maine while he was growing up. It's possible. When I was living in Beverly on the North Shore of Boston, I used to listen to The Blimp back when it was at 107.9FM in Lewiston-Auburn, although I would have to turn my radio around to negate WXKS out of Medford. Of course those were the good old days. Now that The Blimp is at 102.9FM out of Portland, and is 100,000 watts, you can get it practically everywhere. But now The Blimp is owned by Clear Channel, so nobody really cares any more, especially with WCLZ at 98.9 in North Yarmouth.
Actually, The Blimp is most likely one of the three most powerful radio stations in New England. I can get it in three or four times a summer by skip way out here in Amherst and Northampton. And I can also get quite clearly WGBH, 89.7FM, which has its transmitter on top of Great Blue Hill (hence the call letters) in Milton. But probably the most powerful station in New England is a country music station called "The Peak," WPKQ, 103.7FM in North Conway, NH, which has its transmitter on top of Mount Washington. Imagine being the person who has to scrape ice off that antenna in the winter!

People from all over the country will be gathering together this weekend in North Adams to attend the Solid Sound Festival, a music and arts festival created by Wilco. The Boston Herald enthused "Wilco worshipers unite! Your Woodstock, your Lollapalooza, your Christmas, New Year’s and Fourth of July smashed into one is here!"
The Solid Sound Festival will take place at the sprawling campus of Mass MoCA beginning Friday, August 13th at 8pm and running through Sunday, August 15th at 8pm. The festival will include every one of the band members’ side projects, an eclectic mix of other indie artists, comedy, film, art and exhibits.
Wilco is an alternative rock band based in Chicago. Its name comes from the voice procedure term "wilco" or "will comply." The band was formed in 1994 by the remaining members of alternative country group Uncle Tupelo following singer Jay Farrar's departure. Wilco's lineup has changed frequently, with only singer Jeff Tweedy and bassist John Stirratt remaining from the original incarnation. Since early 2004, the other current members are guitarist Nels Cline, multi-instrumentalists Pat Sansone and Mikael Jorgenson, and drummer Glenn Kotche. Wilco has released seven studio albums, a live double album, two collaborations with Billy Bragg, and one collaboration with The Minus Five.
Rolling Stone magazine named Wilco's 2001 album "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" on Nonesuch as the third best album of the decade, saying "Wilco's great leap forward was a mix of rock tradition, electronics, oddball rhythms and experimental gestures: a new vocabulary for an overwhelmed, dislocated age where we'd need to draw on both history and invention to survive."
"Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" is Wilco's most successful release to date, selling over 500,000 copies. The band won two Grammy(r) Awards for their fifth studio album, 2004's "A Ghost is Born," including Best Alternative Music Album. Wilco released their seventh studio album, "Wilco (The Album)," on June 30th, 2009.
Wilco offshoots performing at the event include drummer Glenn Kotche’s On Fillmore, the Nels Cline Singers featuring guitarist Cline, the Autumn Defense with bassist John Stirratt and multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone, and keyboardist Mikael Jorgensen’s Pronto. Kotche is also putting up an interactive drum head installation, and Cline will host an interactive guitar pedal exhibit.
Of the other groups and singers performing, it should be noted that Mavis Staples, who spent the first half of the year recording an album with Jeff Tweedy at Wilco's Chicago studio, will be appearing on Sunday night. Also performing will be Bennington, VT trio Mountain Man, Portland, Maine’s Brenda, The Books from North Adams, Avi Buffalo from Long Beach, CA, and Vetiver from the San Francisco Bay area. And Chicago’s Deep Blue Organ Trio, Vermont-based Bread and Puppet Theater company, and comedians Todd Barry, Hannibal Buress, John Mulaney, and Kristen Schaal will also be a part of the weekend.
If there are still tickets available, they will be $99.50, the same price as they were in advance. Children under 6 will be admitted for free.

The new single from Barrence Whitfield and the Monkey Hips has been released on Somerville-based Q Division Records' Q-Dee label. The problem is, the single is just that: a 7" vinyl 45 rpm record. Even though it is on colored vinyl, and even though vinyl is making a comeback of sorts, the fact remains that the majority of people now listen to music via YouTube or downloads from iTunes and amazon.com.

Jean "Django" Reinhardt was of the first prominent European jazz musicians and remains one of the most renowned and most influential jazz guitarists. With violinist Stéphane Grappelli, he cofounded the Quintette du Hot Club de France, described by critic Thom Jurek as "one of the most original bands in the history of recorded jazz. Legendary French guitarist Dorado Schmitt has long been at the center of the gypsy music resurgence in the US. In celebration of legendary jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt’s 100th birthday, Schmitt has assembled yet another stellar gypsy jazz unit which includes himself on Lead Guitar (and vocal), Hono Winterstein on Rhythm Guitar, Xavier Nikq on double bass, Pierre Blanchard on Violin, and Peter Beets on Piano.

People from all over the country will be gathering together this weekend in North Adams to attend the Solid Sound Festival, a music and arts festival created by Wilco. The Boston Herald enthused "Wilco worshipers unite! Your Woodstock, your Lollapalooza, your Christmas, New Year’s and Fourth of July smashed into one is here!"
The Solid Sound Festival will take place at the sprawling campus of Mass MoCA beginning Friday, August 13th at 8pm and running through Sunday, August 15th at 8pm. The festival will include every one of the band members’ side projects, an eclectic mix of other indie artists, comedy, film, art and exhibits.
Wilco is an alternative rock band based in Chicago. Its name comes from the voice procedure term "wilco" or "will comply." The band was formed in 1994 by the remaining members of alternative country group Uncle Tupelo following singer Jay Farrar's departure. Wilco's lineup has changed frequently, with only singer Jeff Tweedy and bassist John Stirratt remaining from the original incarnation. Since early 2004, the other current members are guitarist Nels Cline, multi-instrumentalists Pat Sansone and Mikael Jorgenson, and drummer Glenn Kotche. Wilco has released seven studio albums, a live double album, two collaborations with Billy Bragg, and one collaboration with The Minus Five.
Rolling Stone magazine named Wilco's 2001 album "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" on Nonesuch as the third best album of the decade, saying "Wilco's great leap forward was a mix of rock tradition, electronics, oddball rhythms and experimental gestures: a new vocabulary for an overwhelmed, dislocated age where we'd need to draw on both history and invention to survive."
"Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" is Wilco's most successful release to date, selling over 500,000 copies. The band won two Grammy(r) Awards for their fifth studio album, 2004's "A Ghost is Born," including Best Alternative Music Album. Wilco released their seventh studio album, "Wilco (The Album)," on June 30th, 2009.
Wilco offshoots performing at the event include drummer Glenn Kotche’s On Fillmore, the Nels Cline Singers featuring guitarist Cline, the Autumn Defense with bassist John Stirratt and multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone, and keyboardist Mikael Jorgensen’s Pronto. Kotche is also putting up an interactive drum head installation, and Cline will host an interactive guitar pedal exhibit.
Of the other groups and singers performing, it should be noted that Mavis Staples, who spent the first half of the year recording an album with Jeff Tweedy at Wilco's Chicago studio, will be appearing on Sunday night. Also performing will be Bennington, VT trio Mountain Man, Portland, Maine’s Brenda, The Books from North Adams, Avi Buffalo from Long Beach, CA, and Vetiver from the San Francisco Bay area. And Chicago’s Deep Blue Organ Trio, Vermont-based Bread and Puppet Theater company, and comedians Todd Barry, Hannibal Buress, John Mulaney, and Kristen Schaal will also be a part of the weekend.
If there are still tickets available, they will be $99.50, the same price as they were in advance. Children under 6 will be admitted for free.

The new single from Barrence Whitfield and the Monkey Hips has been released on Somerville-based Q Division Records' Q-Dee label. The problem is, the single is just that: a 7" vinyl 45 rpm record. Even though it is on colored vinyl, and even though vinyl is making a comeback of sorts, the fact remains that the majority of people now listen to music via YouTube or downloads from iTunes and amazon.com.
Only 500 copies of the yellow record are available. To listen to "Bulit Like a Rock" b/w "I Love Her So," go to

The building that houses the Route 63 Roadhouse in Millers Falls has been sold. Until the sale is transferred over to the new owner, Carol Cameron and Jamie Snyder will be re-opening it next Tuesday, August 10th, and running it pretty much as they have been running it for the last five years. It had been thought that the Drunk Stuntmen's show on Saturday, June 26th may have been the last show ever at The Roadhouse, since the building had been up for sale for quite some time. In fact, everybody who was involved with The Roadhouse, whether they were staff, bands who had played there, or regular customers, gathered together in front of the sign on Sunday, June 27th for a picture which appeared in The Greenfield Recorder on Thursday, July 1st.
Carol Cameron said "We have been closed for the month of July, with lots of painting and deep cleaning going on, so the bar will be nice and ready to reopen. We are happy to say that the new prospective owner is a wonderful person and a perfect fit for the Roadhouse."

The Newbury Comics location at 50 Main Street in Amherst will be moving across the river to the former YES Computers building at 38 Pleasant Street in Northampton. It is expected that the Amherst store will stay in business through the end of August. The State Legislature has decided to suspend the 6.25% sales tax on Saturday, August 14th and Sunday, August 15th, which will help reduce the amount of stock that will have to be moved to the new location. The Amherst store is the only place west of Worcester where you can get copies of The Boston Phoenix and The Weekly Dig every week. Owner and CEO Mike Dreese said in his annual letter to subscribers back in March that he is considering opening a location in midtown Manhattan.
The transformation that turned Newbury Street in Boston's Back Bay into a trendy shopping district for young people probably began in the 1970s with the opening of the original Newbury Comics. Newbury Comics was founded in 1978 by two MIT students, John Brusger and Mike Dreese on lower Newbury Street (near Mass. Ave.), where the original store still stands today. Aimee Mann of 'Til Tuesday fame was a cashier at the flagship store through 1982. Directly across the street was the famed Newbury Sound, where Boston bands such as the Cars recorded early hits. Musicians such as Peter Wolf and Ric Ocasek were street regulars of this bygone era.
Although it started out selling only comics, it soon started selling vinyl albums and cassettes and eventually compact disks. To compete in today's music environment, Newbury Comics locations are also selling sports paraphenalia, used video games, and other novelties.
Newbury Comics is now a chain of 28 stores in four states whose business (despite the name) is primarily the sale of CDs. In a classic case of "what goes around comes around" (otherwise known as "if you hold on to something long enough, it will eventually come back into style), Newbury Comics is now stocking 28-gram vinyl albums.

Platterpus Records has moved to 74 Cottage Street in Easthampton. The store did a brisk business in Westfield for 25 years, and then moved to the Hampshire Mall in Hadley three years ago, but had to close that store on March 31st. Owner Dave Witthaus says the new store is "like a record store used to be," with tons of vinyl, incense, t-shirts, posters, and used CDs. Just log ino your Facebook account and search for Platterpus, Too for info on what is in stock, hours, and phone number.

Union Square in Somerville will definitely be hopping this Saturday afternoon, August 7th, as both Precinct and P.A.'s Lounge will be hosting Deep Heaven Now, a throwback to the ambient/psych festivals of the 1990's. $10 gets you access to both venues all day long, and set times have been set with a minimum of overlap, so with a little determination you'll be able to catch just about every act.

"The Marvelous Toy," the classic children's song written fifty years ago by folk legend Tom Paxton, is now available as a digital children's book mobile app for the iPhone and iPad. "The Marvelous Toy" is one of the first songs published by legendary indie Cherry Lane Music Publishing (part of BMG). Created by MobiStories, the app cleverly combines the music and lyrics of Paxton's classic song with Steve Cox's stunning illustrations from the hardcover book released by Imagine Publishing.
Designed to delight readers and non-readers alike, MobiStories creates an entirely new way for children to experience Paxton's tale of a mysterious and marvelous toy that a father gives to his son and eventually gets passed on to the next generation. Cox's magical and mystical artwork literally bursts into life accompanied by hilarious visual and sound effects, all at the touch of a finger. Even the song has been given a lighthearted, twenty-first century makeover. Kids will connect with Paxton's words and memorable, uplifting music; they will delight as their simple touch makes pets and people talk, lights shine, and objects move.
Richard Stumpf, Senior VP, Creative Services/A&R Marketing for Cherry Lane, said "We're thrilled with 'The Marvelous Toy' app and its potential for introducing new generations to the song. Given the fact that Tom Paxton was the first writer signed to Cherry Lane, this app has a truly historic resonance for the company."
Tom Paxton adds "'The Marvelous Toy' celebrates a child's sense of wonder and imagination. MobiStories cleverly marries my music and lyrics with Steve Cox's spectacular artwork. Add the wow factor of technology and a new generation of kids can experience the story's magic in an entirely new way."
Tom Paxton will be at the Guthrie Center in Great Barrington on Friday, August 27th and Saturday, August 28th.
Tom Paxton may have written "The Marvelous Toy," but Peter, Paul and Mary brought it to much larger audiences by making it a part of their thousands of performances.
Here is a video of Peter, Paul and Mary performing "The Marvelous Toy":

Here is a fascinating story about the rapidly-changing music business from fast.company.com posted on Tuesday, July 20th:
"More people are engaged with music than ever before," said Tom Silverman, founder of Tommy Boy Records and the New Music Seminar. "It's a hockey stick going up; it's an incredible opportunity that so far has eluded us." Silverman was speaking this morning at the New Music Seminar in New York City, where he and Eric Garland, CEO of Big Champagne, gave a State of the Music Industry address. Even if you aren't a player in the industry and only an avid music listener, the figures that Silverman and Garland culled will surely surprise you. Here are a few of their key findings.
Of the some 100,000 albums released last year, 17,000 of them sold only 1 copy; more than 81,000 albums sold under 100 copies. In fact, just 1,300 albums sold over 10,000 copies, an astonishing figure given that these numbers combine physical and digital album sales. And for physical sales alone? According to Garland, only 2% of new albums on Soundscan sold over 5,000 copies -- that's a skydiver's plummet from the golden era of the music industry. This chart shows you how much the industry has changed:
"The music business historically has been built around albums," explained Silverman. "This album-centrism is like saying the sun revolves around the Earth. We don't listen to albums now; we listen to collections of songs."
Of course, the reason for significant single-growth and slowed-album sales is due in part to iTunes hawking every song as a single for 99 cents. "Historically, the price of an album was five times greater than a single," said Silverman, who believes setting the price at a tenth of an album's cost was a mistake and that even $1.29 is too low. "It should've been a $1.99, and then we would've seen higher digital album sales because it would've been a bigger discount for buying an album." But both Silverman and Garland agreed that this is changing, citing the fact that about 14% of all of Universal Music's digital sales are for iTunes "Complete My Albums," a program where you receive credit for having already purchased the single, but have the option to upgrade and purchase the full album. This suggests the $9.99 price-tag is becoming approachable for consumers.
According to Garland, industry folks today are obsessed with "FFF numbers" -- that is, an artist's friends, fans, and followers. "It's a race, but to what end?" he wondered. Garland showed through a series of charts how Twitter and especially Facebook are ballooning in popularity for artists like Lady Gaga, while once popular MySpace's numbers are stymied.
However, Garland points out that Facebook recently forced most users into converting their profile favorites into "fan" data, which arbitrarily inflated the social network's numbers. For example, Garland tells the story of how when Susan Boyle's performance first blew up, a friend of his added the YouTube star to his Facebook profile. When Facebook imported this data though, he instantly became a "fan" of Susan Boyle. "[He] had no interest in it -- [he] liked her for like 30 seconds, once!" Garland relates. "It doesn't really indicate any consumer activity -- it's automated," added Silverman.
Garland's story serves as an indicator of just how difficult it is to figure out the influence of an artist through his or her FFF number. After all, even if Lady Gaga starts losing friends on MySpace, that's less of an indication of her popularity, and more a sign of MySpace's falling use.
Interestingly, it wasn't Apple that Garland viewed as the most important name in music, even though the company's iPods, iPhones, and iTunes indicate otherwise. "YouTube is increasingly the category killer," argued Garland. "When people ask me what is the biggest name in music in my opinion, they want me to say Apple. I usually answer: YouTube."
Garland told audiences that if you actually look to where people are listening to music -- not even just looking at videos -- consumers are turning more and more to YouTube, which he calls the "largest catalog of on-demand music on the Internet." If only Google could make this service profitable, right?
Garland and Silverman pointed out that Pandora is now the most popular Internet radio service, with a 52% market share, close to 60 million registered users, and more than 1 billion stations.
And in a sign of just how much the Web has impacted music, Silverman told the crowd that Pandora now represents 1.7% of all radio listening--really a shocking figure to think about. Obviously, traditional music media is going away. But is the music industry ready for the change?

The Newbury Comics location at 50 Main Street in Amherst will be moving across the river to the former YES Computers building at 38 Pleasant Street in Northampton. It is expected that the Amherst store will stay in business through the end of August. The State Legislature has decided to suspend the 6.25% sales tax on Saturday, August 14th and Sunday, August 15th, which will help reduce the amount of stock that will have to be moved to the new location. The Amherst store is the only place west of Worcester where you can get copies of The Boston Phoenix and The Weekly Dig every week. Owner and CEO Mike Dreese said in his annual letter to subscribers back in March that he is considering opening a location in midtown Manhattan.
The transformation that turned Newbury Street in Boston's Back Bay into a trendy shopping district for young people probably began in the 1970s with the opening of the original Newbury Comics. Newbury Comics was founded in 1978 by two MIT students, John Brusger and Mike Dreese on lower Newbury Street (near Mass. Ave.), where the original store still stands today. Aimee Mann of 'Til Tuesday fame was a cashier at the flagship store through 1982. Directly across the street was the famed Newbury Sound, where Boston bands such as the Cars recorded early hits. Musicians such as Peter Wolf and Ric Ocasek were street regulars of this bygone era.
Although it started out selling only comics, it soon started selling vinyl albums and cassettes and eventually compact disks. To compete in today's music environment, Newbury Comics locations are also selling sports paraphenalia, used video games, and other novelties.
Newbury Comics is now a chain of 28 stores in four states whose business (despite the name) is primarily the sale of CDs. In a classic case of "what goes around comes around" (otherwise known as "if you hold on to something long enough, it will eventually come back into style), Newbury Comics is now stocking 28-gram vinyl albums.

Platterpus Records has moved to 74 Cottage Street in Easthampton. The store did a brisk business in Westfield for 25 years, and then moved to the Hampshire Mall in Hadley three years ago, but had to close that store on March 31st. Owner Dave Witthaus says the new store is "like a record store used to be," with tons of vinyl, incense, t-shirts, posters, and used CDs. Just log ino your Facebook account and search for Platterpus, Too for info on what is in stock, hours, and phone number.

"The Marvelous Toy," the classic children's song written fifty years ago by folk legend Tom Paxton, is now available as a digital children's book mobile app for the iPhone and iPad. "The Marvelous Toy" is one of the first songs published by legendary indie Cherry Lane Music Publishing (part of BMG). Created by MobiStories, the app cleverly combines the music and lyrics of Paxton's classic song with Steve Cox's stunning illustrations from the hardcover book released by Imagine Publishing.
Designed to delight readers and non-readers alike, MobiStories creates an entirely new way for children to experience Paxton's tale of a mysterious and marvelous toy that a father gives to his son and eventually gets passed on to the next generation. Cox's magical and mystical artwork literally bursts into life accompanied by hilarious visual and sound effects, all at the touch of a finger. Even the song has been given a lighthearted, twenty-first century makeover. Kids will connect with Paxton's words and memorable, uplifting music; they will delight as their simple touch makes pets and people talk, lights shine, and objects move.
Richard Stumpf, Senior VP, Creative Services/A&R Marketing for Cherry Lane, said "We're thrilled with 'The Marvelous Toy' app and its potential for introducing new generations to the song. Given the fact that Tom Paxton was the first writer signed to Cherry Lane, this app has a truly historic resonance for the company."
Tom Paxton adds "'The Marvelous Toy' celebrates a child's sense of wonder and imagination. MobiStories cleverly marries my music and lyrics with Steve Cox's spectacular artwork. Add the wow factor of technology and a new generation of kids can experience the story's magic in an entirely new way."
Tom Paxton will be at the Guthrie Center in Great Barrington on Friday, August 27th and Saturday, August 28th.
Tom Paxton may have written "The Marvelous Toy," but Peter, Paul and Mary brought it to much larger audiences by making it a part of their thousands of performances.
Here is a video of Peter, Paul and Mary performing "The Marvelous Toy":

Here is a fascinating story about the rapidly-changing music business from fast.company.com posted on Tuesday, July 20th:
"More people are engaged with music than ever before," said Tom Silverman, founder of Tommy Boy Records and the New Music Seminar. "It's a hockey stick going up; it's an incredible opportunity that so far has eluded us." Silverman was speaking this morning at the New Music Seminar in New York City, where he and Eric Garland, CEO of Big Champagne, gave a State of the Music Industry address. Even if you aren't a player in the industry and only an avid music listener, the figures that Silverman and Garland culled will surely surprise you. Here are a few of their key findings.
Of the some 100,000 albums released last year, 17,000 of them sold only 1 copy; more than 81,000 albums sold under 100 copies. In fact, just 1,300 albums sold over 10,000 copies, an astonishing figure given that these numbers combine physical and digital album sales. And for physical sales alone? According to Garland, only 2% of new albums on Soundscan sold over 5,000 copies -- that's a skydiver's plummet from the golden era of the music industry. This chart shows you how much the industry has changed:
"The music business historically has been built around albums," explained Silverman. "This album-centrism is like saying the sun revolves around the Earth. We don't listen to albums now; we listen to collections of songs."
Of course, the reason for significant single-growth and slowed-album sales is due in part to iTunes hawking every song as a single for 99 cents. "Historically, the price of an album was five times greater than a single," said Silverman, who believes setting the price at a tenth of an album's cost was a mistake and that even $1.29 is too low. "It should've been a $1.99, and then we would've seen higher digital album sales because it would've been a bigger discount for buying an album." But both Silverman and Garland agreed that this is changing, citing the fact that about 14% of all of Universal Music's digital sales are for iTunes "Complete My Albums," a program where you receive credit for having already purchased the single, but have the option to upgrade and purchase the full album. This suggests the $9.99 price-tag is becoming approachable for consumers.
According to Garland, industry folks today are obsessed with "FFF numbers" -- that is, an artist's friends, fans, and followers. "It's a race, but to what end?" he wondered. Garland showed through a series of charts how Twitter and especially Facebook are ballooning in popularity for artists like Lady Gaga, while once popular MySpace's numbers are stymied.
However, Garland points out that Facebook recently forced most users into converting their profile favorites into "fan" data, which arbitrarily inflated the social network's numbers. For example, Garland tells the story of how when Susan Boyle's performance first blew up, a friend of his added the YouTube star to his Facebook profile. When Facebook imported this data though, he instantly became a "fan" of Susan Boyle. "[He] had no interest in it -- [he] liked her for like 30 seconds, once!" Garland relates. "It doesn't really indicate any consumer activity -- it's automated," added Silverman.
Garland's story serves as an indicator of just how difficult it is to figure out the influence of an artist through his or her FFF number. After all, even if Lady Gaga starts losing friends on MySpace, that's less of an indication of her popularity, and more a sign of MySpace's falling use.
Interestingly, it wasn't Apple that Garland viewed as the most important name in music, even though the company's iPods, iPhones, and iTunes indicate otherwise. "YouTube is increasingly the category killer," argued Garland. "When people ask me what is the biggest name in music in my opinion, they want me to say Apple. I usually answer: YouTube."
Garland told audiences that if you actually look to where people are listening to music -- not even just looking at videos -- consumers are turning more and more to YouTube, which he calls the "largest catalog of on-demand music on the Internet." If only Google could make this service profitable, right?
Garland and Silverman pointed out that Pandora is now the most popular Internet radio service, with a 52% market share, close to 60 million registered users, and more than 1 billion stations.
And in a sign of just how much the Web has impacted music, Silverman told the crowd that Pandora now represents 1.7% of all radio listening--really a shocking figure to think about. Obviously, traditional music media is going away. But is the music industry ready for the change?

There will be a huge benefit show for Joe Coughlin, Director of the MIT AgeLab in Cambridge, at the Midway Lounge in Jamaica Plain this Friday, July 30th, beginning at 8pm. Already scheduled to perform are John Powhida, Chandler Travis, Lenny Lashley, Classic Ruins, Roy Sludge Trio, mini Country Bumpkin reunion, Philly Roy All Stars, Rick Berlin, Johnny and the Jumper Cables, and Richie Parsons. A donation of $10 will be requested at the door.
Joseph F. Coughlin is founder and Director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology AgeLab, the first multi-disciplinary research program created to understand the behavior of the 45+ population; the role of technology; and, the opportunity for innovations to improve the quality of life of older adults and their families. Dr. Coughlin’s own research focuses on how the convergence of baby boomer expectations and technology will shape the future of public policy and drive innovation across global industries, including the financial services, insurance, health, IT, telecommunications, automobile and retail sectors. He has published his work in a variety of business, engineering and policy journals. In February 2008, the Wall Street Journal named him one of America’s 12 pioneers inventing the future of retirement and aging. Dr. Coughlin was recently recognized by the Visiting Nurse Association as a "Home Health Hero" for his research in technology-enabled innovation in home healthcare services for the elderly.

The new CD by Chicopee hardcore group Acacia Strain, "Wormwood", was released on Tuesday, July 20th. noisecreep.com has this to say about the album:
Seeing that the Acacia Strain are too white for black metal, we're guessing the band didn't decide to title their new album, "Wormwood," after the Marduk record of the same name that came out last year. But on July 20, the Acacia Strain will, indeed, release "Wormwood" to the masses, frontman Vincent Bennett revealed in a June 5th YouTube post.
The band previously announced that it would reveal the title of the album once a fan guessed the correct title in a contest on Twitter. After the Acacia Strain revealed just just two letters, a fan named EricThorgeldsen guessed the correct title.
"Wormwood" is the follow-up to 2008's widely acclaimed "Continent." "We worked just as hard if not harder on this album as we did on 'Continent,'" Bennett said. "We took an entire block of time off of touring and our lives in general to focus 100 percent on the creation of 'Wormwood.'"
Wormwood is a species of plant used to create the hallucinogenic alcoholic drink absinthe. Wormwood is also the name of a star which crashes to earth and poisons the water. We'll leave it to you to guess which meaning the Acacia Strain draw from for the album, but it's probably not the same one Marduk embraced.
"Where we normally write a record with a theme already attached to it, this time around we wrote a record and the theme developed as we went," Bennett said, refusing to reveal the exact theme. "We wanted to do something that was still Acacia Strain, but broke away from the mold that has been struck by all the bands these days that we seem to get grouped in with. All the songs have their own dynamic instead of writing an album filled with like-sounding songs. This is the heaviest record we have ever written, and these are the most personal lyrics I have ever written."
"Wormwood" got a favorable review from music critic Dave Wedge in the Boston Herald on Tuesday, July 20th. Wedge called the album "infectious". In the article, Vince Bennett says “Basically the whole record is about the true nature of man - that man is inherently evil. We’re born to kill and we’re born to destroy. We’re all a little sadistic inside. (It’s about) just the obvious nastiness in all of humanity.”
'Wormwood' was recorded at Planet Z Studios in Hadley, Mass. with Zeuss (Hatebreed, Chimera, Shadows Fall) producing, mixing and mastering.

Eli "Paperboy" Reed is saying goodbye to his trumpet player Patriq Moody. Eli says that Patriq is moving on to pursue his own projects. Patriq was the first and only trumpet player that The True Loves, Eli's backing band, ever had. Before Patriq joined The True Loves, the group had only two tenor saxophones and a trombone. Patriq is leaving The True Loves to pursue his solo project The Bloks, which you can check out at
http://www.myspace.com/thebloks
As for Eli and The True Loves, their new CD, "Come and Get It," was released in the U.K. on May 10th, and will be released in the U.S. on Tuesday, August 10th. The U.K. release earned Eli and the group a mention on the front page and a five page story in the July 2010 issue of MOJO magazine. Meanwhile, you can listen to three tracks from the new CD, "Come and Get It," "Explosion," and "Time Will Tell" at Eli's website,

It appears that Brooks Williams, a singer-songwriter who started his career and lived all over western Massachusetts, is now a permanent citizen of the U.K. Brooks made the announcement in his monthly newsletter which went out to fans on Friday, July 16th. Brooks may be smiling now, but perhaps someone should get him to give another listen to The Beatles song "Taxman" from "Revolver":
Let me tell you how it will be;
There's one for you, nineteen for me.
'Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.
Should five per cent appear too small,
Be thankful I don't take it all.
'Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.
if you drive a car, I’ll tax the street;
if you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat;
if you get too cold I’ll tax the heat;
if you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.
And you're working for no one but me....

This three hour sunset cruise, aboard the Captain's Lady II, departs from Plum Island Point in Newburyport. Tickets are $36.50, which includes a $4.50 processing fee. The cruise usually sells out, so call (978) 462-3141 the day of the event for further information. Rain date is the following evening, Sunday, July 25th. For more information including directions, go to http://www.newburyportbluescruise.com/

The big benefit for Girls Rock Camp Boston will be at T.T. the Bear's Place in Cambridge this Sunday, July 25th, beginning at 1pm. Performing will be many girl- and women-fronted bands as well as all girl and women bands, including the Aerochix, Boston's only all-girl tribute to Aerosmith, Robin Lane, and Lady Lamb the Beekeeper. This is an all-ages show, and tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for kids. For more info, go to:
http://www.girlsrockboston.org and click on Benefit Shows at the top of the page.
The complete schedule of acts appears in this week's LISTINGS edition of the Weekly Band E-Mail.

Beginning in the late 1960s, music fans would look forward to summer when they could see the really big acts of the time play outside at outdoor venues such as Great Woods in Mansfield or Sullivan Stadium in Foxboro. Tickets to these shows were often $10-$20, with maybe a couple of bucks more for parking. But then Live Nation began buying up a lot of these venues, with Ticketmaster handling the ticketing for these shows.
On Wednesday, July 14th, the Board of Directors of Live Nation, including Irving Azoff, executive chair, and Michael Rapino, President and Chief Executive Officer, presented a PowerPoint slide show to specially invited investors at Irving Plaza in New York City. You can download and view the slide show here:
http://bit.ly/cBO2Do
This is a huge .pdf file, so you will need high speed internet and loads of memory to access it.
Once you have downloaded the slide show, go to page 17, where you will see the "old model" on the left side, which says that it takes about five years from the time an act first writes a group of songs for an album, to the "new model" on the right side, which says that it now takes only three months for an act to accomplish the same thing!
If you dig deeper into the slide show, you will quickly see Live Nation's plan for global domination of the concert industry. But it doesn't stop there. Live Nation wants to get into other areas of entertainment as well, including sporting events and movies. Can you imagine the individual Showcase Cinema theaters here in Massachusetts being re-branded as the Empire Today Cinemas? Or how about Fenway Park being re-branded as 1-800-WIN-WIN1 Park? Don't think that's possible? Check out the 1-800-ASK-GARY Amphitheatre at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa, Florida.
It is obvious to me that Live Nation does not need my publicity. Therefore, beginning with this week's LISTINGS issue, I will no longer be carrying listings for the Bank of America Pavillion, the Paradise Rock Club, or the House of Blues back room in Boston, the Comcast Center in Mansfield, Showcase Live in Foxboro, the South Shore Music Circus in Cohasset, and the Cape Cod Melody Tent in Hyannis. This will free up space for smaller venues each week.
I will continue to list the shows featuring local bands in the front room of the House of Blues every week because they are free and therefore do not involve Ticketmaster. I realize that you can get tickets through Ticketmaster for shows at the Middle East and T.T. the Bear's Place in Cambridge, and for shows at Great Scott and O'Brien's Pub in Allston. But these four clubs have always been supportive of local music, so I will continue to list them.

The new CD by Chicopee hardcore group Acacia Strain, "Wormwood", was released on Tuesday, July 20th. noisecreep.com has this to say about the album:
Seeing that the Acacia Strain are too white for black metal, we're guessing the band didn't decide to title their new album, "Wormwood," after the Marduk record of the same name that came out last year. But on July 20, the Acacia Strain will, indeed, release "Wormwood" to the masses, frontman Vincent Bennett revealed in a June 5th YouTube post.
The band previously announced that it would reveal the title of the album once a fan guessed the correct title in a contest on Twitter. After the Acacia Strain revealed just just two letters, a fan named EricThorgeldsen guessed the correct title.
"Wormwood" is the follow-up to 2008's widely acclaimed "Continent." "We worked just as hard if not harder on this album as we did on 'Continent,'" Bennett said. "We took an entire block of time off of touring and our lives in general to focus 100 percent on the creation of 'Wormwood.'"
Wormwood is a species of plant used to create the hallucinogenic alcoholic drink absinthe. Wormwood is also the name of a star which crashes to earth and poisons the water. We'll leave it to you to guess which meaning the Acacia Strain draw from for the album, but it's probably not the same one Marduk embraced.
"Where we normally write a record with a theme already attached to it, this time around we wrote a record and the theme developed as we went," Bennett said, refusing to reveal the exact theme. "We wanted to do something that was still Acacia Strain, but broke away from the mold that has been struck by all the bands these days that we seem to get grouped in with. All the songs have their own dynamic instead of writing an album filled with like-sounding songs. This is the heaviest record we have ever written, and these are the most personal lyrics I have ever written."
"Wormwood" got a favorable review from music critic Dave Wedge in the Boston Herald on Tuesday, July 20th. Wedge called the album "infectious". In the article, Vince Bennett says “Basically the whole record is about the true nature of man - that man is inherently evil. We’re born to kill and we’re born to destroy. We’re all a little sadistic inside. (It’s about) just the obvious nastiness in all of humanity.”
'Wormwood' was recorded at Planet Z Studios in Hadley, Mass. with Zeuss (Hatebreed, Chimera, Shadows Fall) producing, mixing and mastering.

Eli "Paperboy" Reed is saying goodbye to his trumpet player Patriq Moody. Eli says that Patriq is moving on to pursue his own projects. Patriq was the first and only trumpet player that The True Loves, Eli's backing band, ever had. Before Patriq joined The True Loves, the group had only two tenor saxophones and a trombone. Patriq is leaving The True Loves to pursue his solo project The Bloks, which you can check out at
http://www.myspace.com/thebloks
As for Eli and The True Loves, their new CD, "Come and Get It," was released in the U.K. on May 10th, and will be released in the U.S. on Tuesday, August 10th. The U.K. release earned Eli and the group a mention on the front page and a five page story in the July 2010 issue of MOJO magazine. Meanwhile, you can listen to three tracks from the new CD, "Come and Get It," "Explosion," and "Time Will Tell" at Eli's website,

It appears that Brooks Williams, a singer-songwriter who started his career and lived all over western Massachusetts, is now a permanent citizen of the U.K. Brooks made the announcement in his monthly newsletter which went out to fans on Friday, July 16th. Brooks may be smiling now, but perhaps someone should get him to give another listen to The Beatles song "Taxman" from "Revolver":
Let me tell you how it will be;
There's one for you, nineteen for me.
'Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.
Should five per cent appear too small,
Be thankful I don't take it all.
'Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.
if you drive a car, I’ll tax the street;
if you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat;
if you get too cold I’ll tax the heat;
if you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.
And you're working for no one but me....

The fifth annual Beatle benefit concert will be held at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Marblehead this Saturday, July 17th, beginning at 7:30pm. This year's benefit is called "Ob-la-di Ob-la-da," and as in past years, will feature a cast of musicians performing their interpretations of Beatles tunes.
Headlining this year's show is Chris Thompson. Chris is the guitarist and lead vocalist for the duo Chris and Meredith Thompson and was also a member of The Strangelings (Peter and Maura Kennedy, Rebecca Hall and Ken Anderson, Cheryl Prashker, and Eric Lee). Together the Thompsons have released six albums and played festivals such as the Clearwater Hudson Revival, Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, and the Boston Folk Festival. The Thompsons are best known for their close sibling harmony, and as Chris now steps out on her own, she demonstrates her powerful clear vocals and percussive, riff-driven guitar work.
Also on the bill is Jason Myles Goss, who has been described as a "thinking person's songwriter." Jason has won several songwriting contests including the Newport Folk Festival and most recently the Northeast Regionals for Mountain Stage's New Song Contests. His latest CD, "A Plea for Dreamland", has received rave reviews and has been described as "taking the best aspects of blues, rock, country and folk and merging them together."
Marblehead's own Amy Malkoff and Friends will be adding their own takes on some Beatle tunes. Amy is a singer, songwriter, and a guitarist, but her specialty is vocal harmony. Her band, All About Buford, is an award-winning pop-funk band that seems to fit fairly comfortably in a funny space created when a cappella and folk collide. Their performances consist of some songs done without instruments, and some with Amy playing guitar, but always with a dedicated beatboxer and lots of rich harmonies.
Another Marblehead resident, Lisa Watkins, has always loved performing jazz, sacred and spiritual music both as a soloist and in choirs. She has appeared with the Tanglewood Chorus at Boston's Symphony Hall and at Tanglewood. She is currently recording a CD which includes her exquisite version of the Beatles' "Blackbird".
Andy Cambria, a talented Americana and bluegrass musician has been part of the popular band, The Broken Blossoms. The band's sound is both new and familiar, rooted in tradition, yet rejuvenated by unique arrangements; a happy convergence of traditional bluegrass, gospel, country blues, and folk pop.
Bethel Steele, a gifted singer-songwriter, has recently released a full-length studio album, "Come Home". The album has tastes of a country upbringing, dashes of pop and rock, but is nailed in the folk genre. Bethel has been showcased as a solo artist and as an opening act for nationally- and regionally-touring artists, and has done busking throughout the Boston subway system.
Berkshire Living's August 2008 issue calls Adam Michael Rothberg "the Berkshire's answer to Paul McCartney." His CD, "Another Spin", is at once a testament to Rothberg's love affair with music and his love affair with love, and suggests that distinguishing between the two isn't always so easy. The musical styles on his CD reflect influences including The Beatles, Randy Newman, Mark Knopfler, Elvis Costello, and Wilco.
Pesky J. Nixon brings one heck of a show to the stage with rich harmonies and musical versatility, mixed with infectious energy and stage banter bordering on brotherly bickering. PJN will entertain with some interesting takes on some Beatles tunes. Ethan Baird, originally from Swampscott, has ties that go back to his days as a volunteer at the Me and Thee Coffeehouse, and it's only natural that his band is part of this benefit. Pesky J. Nixon just released their second CD, "Monkey Business and Mislaid Hopes". Eric Lee, from Amherst, one of the most talented violinsts in the Northeast, plans to add his genius fiddling to the evening. Eric appears on the new PJN album, and he also has ties to this year's headliner since he was part of The Strangelings too. He has been part of the Falcon Ridge "house band" and will repeating that role this year's festival in late July.
Andover resident Linda Sharar has just been added to the talented roster for this year's show. Linda is a singer-songwriter who has recorded several CDs and was involved with the legendary New Folk movement in New York. She was formerly a member of The Marys, Big Happy Crowd, and The Amazing Incredibles. Sher is well known for her role in producing a "Respond" compilation CD [released on the Signature Sounds label], a benefit for domestic violence causes. Her latest CD is "Everyday", a collection of songs influenced by the birth of her first daughter and the death of her mother.
Tickets for this show are $20 for adults and $10 for students. Family packages are also available for $45. Part of the proceeds from this concert go directly to a special fund to send musicians into local schools for workshops and concerts as well as to benefit programs at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Marblehead.
Here is Adam Michael Rothberg performing "Here I Go Again" from his 2008 CD "Another Spin":

Former Ashfield resident Sonya Kitchell has completed a new music video for the title track of her EP, "Convict of Conviction." Her friend, Santa Louise Moore, lent her skills as a dancer to illustrate the story of the song, based on the 1973 Terrence Malick film, "Badlands". The video was shot by James Henry with help from Torkil Stavdal in the neighborhood of Greenpoint, Brooklyn, where Sonya now lives, and edited by the crew at Chop Wood Carry Water.

The Thompsons are best known for their close sibling harmony, and as Chris now steps out on her own, she demonstrates her powerful clear vocals and percussive, riff-driven guitar work.
Also on the bill is Jason Myles Goss, who has been described as a "thinking person's songwriter." Jason has won several songwriting contests including the Newport Folk Festival and most recently the Northeast Regionals for Mountain Stage's New Song Contests. His latest CD, "A Plea for Dreamland", has received rave reviews and has been described as "taking the best aspects of blues, rock, country and folk and merging them together."
Marblehead's own Amy Malkoff and Friends will be adding their own takes on some Beatle tunes. Amy is a singer, songwriter, and a guitarist, but her specialty is vocal harmony. Her band, All About Buford, is an award-winning pop-funk band that seems to fit fairly comfortably in a funny space created when a cappella and folk collide. Their performances consist of some songs done without instruments, and some with Amy playing guitar, but always with a dedicated beatboxer and lots of rich harmonies.
Another Marblehead resident, Lisa Watkins, has always loved performing jazz, sacred and spiritual music both as a soloist and in choirs. She has appeared with the Tanglewood Chorus at Boston's Symphony Hall and at Tanglewood. She is currently recording a CD which includes her exquisite version of the Beatles' "Blackbird".
Andy Cambria, a talented Americana and bluegrass musician has been part of the popular band, The Broken Blossoms. The band's sound is both new and familiar, rooted in tradition, yet rejuvenated by unique arrangements; a happy convergence of traditional bluegrass, gospel, country blues, and folk pop.
Bethel Steele, a gifted singer-songwriter, has recently released a full-length studio album, "Come Home". The album has tastes of a country upbringing, dashes of pop and rock, but is nailed in the folk genre. Bethel has been showcased as a solo artist and as an opening act for nationally- and regionally-touring artists, and has done busking throughout the Boston subway system.
Berkshire Living's August 2008 issue calls Adam Michael Rothberg "the Berkshire's answer to Paul McCartney." His CD, "Another Spin", is at once a testament to Rothberg's love affair with music and his love affair with love, and suggests that distinguishing between the two isn't always so easy. The musical styles on his CD reflect influences including The Beatles, Randy Newman, Mark Knopfler, Elvis Costello, and Wilco.
Pesky J. Nixon brings one heck of a show to the stage with rich harmonies and musical versatility, mixed with infectious energy and stage banter bordering on brotherly bickering. PJN will entertain with some interesting takes on some Beatles tunes. Ethan Baird, originally from Swampscott, has ties that go back to his days as a volunteer at the Me and Thee Coffeehouse, and it's only natural that his band is part of this benefit. Pesky J. Nixon just released their second CD, "Monkey Business and Mislaid Hopes". Eric Lee, from Amherst, one of the most talented violinsts in the Northeast, plans to add his genius fiddling to the evening. Eric appears on the new PJN album, and he also has ties to this year's headliner since he was part of The Strangelings too. He has been part of the Falcon Ridge "house band" and will repeating that role this year's festival in late July.
Andover resident Linda Sharar has just been added to the talented roster for this year's show. Linda is a singer-songwriter who has recorded several CDs and was involved with the legendary New Folk movement in New York. She was formerly a member of The Marys, Big Happy Crowd, and The Amazing Incredibles. Sher is well known for her role in producing a "Respond" compilation CD [released on the Signature Sounds label], a benefit for domestic violence causes. Her latest CD is "Everyday", a collection of songs influenced by the birth of her first daughter and the death of her mother.
Tickets for this show are $20 for adults and $10 for students. Family packages are also available for $45. Part of the proceeds from this concert go directly to a special fund to send musicians into local schools for workshops and concerts as well as to benefit programs at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Marblehead.
Here is Adam Michael Rothberg performing "Here I Go Again" from his 2008 CD "Another Spin":

Former Ashfield resident Sonya Kitchell has completed a new music video for the title track of her EP, "Convict of Conviction." Her friend, Santa Louise Moore, lent her skills as a dancer to illustrate the story of the song, based on the 1973 Terrence Malick film, "Badlands". The video was shot by James Henry with help from Torkil Stavdal in the neighborhood of Greenpoint, Brooklyn, where Sonya now lives, and edited by the crew at Chop Wood Carry Water.

This from Adam Klein of Callanan and Klein Communications Inc. in Boston:
We are hosting a special summer party on the Rock and Blues Cruise to benefit the Pan Mass Challenge on Friday, July 23 (boarding at 7:30pm). The entertainment will be the band Pablo Palooza which features Boston radio personality George Knight, good friend Mark Hobbs, American Idol contestant Mike Davis and more. In addition, DJ Morning Guy Tai will spin tunes between the bands sets and we’ll have a great silent auction on the cruise. Money raised from the auction and net proceeds from the cruise sales will support the fundraising efforts of several people riding the Pan Mass Challenge which benefits the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Tickets are $25 and available online at http://www.rockandbluescruise.com
The Pan Mass Challlenge is a two-day, 192 mile bike ride from Sturbridge to Provincetown. Since 1980, the Pan Mass Challenge has raised $270 million for cancer research and treatment at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. The Challenge raises nearly half of the Jimmy Fund's annual revenue, so all donations raised by riders support the efforts of more than 3,000 Dana-Farber faculty and staff members as they make countless advances that have become the standard of cancer care and research.
Adan Klein will be one of the thousands of people who will be making the ride. Contributions to support his efforts can be made via

Kevin Youklis's Hits for Kids and Christopher's Haven have teamed up with Rounder Records in Burlington to put together a CD entitled Music Hits Home.

For ordering information, contact info@youkskids.org, or call (781) 444-9685.
"Youk," who plays third base for The Boston Red Sox (and may or may not be a part of this year's All Star Game), has this to say about Hits for Kids:
"I am living out my childhood dream, and it is due in no small part to the tremendous support of my family, friends, and community. Now I am in the position to help foster save, nurturing, healthy environments for today's children, and I can't imagine backing away from that opportunity."

Signature Sounds recording artist Eilen Jewell has released a new CD as a side project paying tribute to country music legend Loretta Lynn. On the CD, titled "Eilen Jewell presents Butcher Holler: A Tribute to Loretta Lynn," Jewell sings 12 Loretta Lynn songs.
Of the CD, Jewell says:
"Butcher Holler is named for the little Kentucky town where Loretta Lynn was raised. In this tribute to the country star we pay homage to her humble roots and straightforward, hard-hitting performance style. All of the songs in this collection were written by Lynn herself and are a testament not only to her strength as a songwriter, but to her personal strength as well. In the 19 60s and '70s, Loretta Lynn dared to write songs about topics that were widely considered off-limits, especially for women. The fact that her words still hit a nerve today is proof of their timelessness. And so, a toast: to the woman with more banned songs than anyone can count; to the voice that reaches the very grain of theater walls around her; to our national treasure. Gratitude is not enough, so I sing these songs for anyone who will listen."
The CD is available for sale online at http://www.signaturesounds.com/butcher-holler
Here is a video of Loretta Lynn performing "Fist City," the lead track on Eilen Jewell's tribute album:

According to Reuters news agency, Harvey Fuqua, who was best known as the leader of the 1950s doo-wop group The Moonglows, passed away in Detroit on Tuesday, July 6th, at the age of 80. He succumbed to "coronary problems" after a brief illness.
Fuqua formed The Moonglows in his hometown of Louisville, KY in 1951. They were discovered in Cleveland by rock n' roll dj Alan Freed, who got them signed to Chess Records. The song he wrote, "Sincerely," cracked the Top 30 in 1955, and his unmistakeably deep bass voice leads the group on their best-known song, 1958's "Ten Commandments of Love." The versatile artist, entrepreneur, and executive shepherded the careers of such acts as Etta James, The Spinners, and Junior Walker and the All Stars.
Fuqua enlisted Marvin Gaye in The Moonglows in 1958, and later brought him to Motown. He, along with Johnny Bristol, produced Gaye's duets with Tammi Terrell, including "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and "Your Precious Love." They also produced and co-wrote the duo's 1967 single "If I Could Build My Whole World Around You."
Here is a video of Harvey and The Moonglows performing "Sincerely":

This from Adam Klein of Callanan and Klein Communications Inc. in Boston:
We are hosting a special summer party on the Rock and Blues Cruise to benefit the Pan Mass Challenge on Friday, July 23 (boarding at 7:30pm). The entertainment will be the band Pablo Palooza which features Boston radio personality George Knight, good friend Mark Hobbs, American Idol contestant Mike Davis and more. In addition, DJ Morning Guy Tai will spin tunes between the bands sets and we’ll have a great silent auction on the cruise. Money raised from the auction and net proceeds from the cruise sales will support the fundraising efforts of several people riding the Pan Mass Challenge which benefits the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Tickets are $25 and available online at http://www.rockandbluescruise.com
The Pan Mass Challlenge is a two-day, 192 mile bike ride from Sturbridge to Provincetown. Since 1980, the Pan Mass Challenge has raised $270 million for cancer research and treatment at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. The Challenge raises nearly half of the Jimmy Fund's annual revenue, so all donations raised by riders support the efforts of more than 3,000 Dana-Farber faculty and staff members as they make countless advances that have become the standard of cancer care and research.
Adan Klein will be one of the thousands of people who will be making the ride. Contributions to support his efforts can be made via

Kevin Youklis's Hits for Kids and Christopher's Haven have teamed up with Rounder Records in Burlington to put together a CD entitled Music Hits Home. Included on the CD is music by the Dave Matthews Band, The Allman Briothers, and Phish. The CD costs $15, which includes shipping and handling. For ordering information, contact info@youkskids.org, or call (781) 444-9685.
"Youk," who plays third base for The Boston Red Sox (and may or may not be a part of this year's All Star Game), has this to say about Hits for Kids:
"I am living out my childhood dream, and it is due in no small part to the tremendous support of my family, friends, and community. Now I am in the position to help foster save, nurturing, healthy environments for today's children, and I can't imagine backing away from that opportunity."

Signature Sounds recording artist Eilen Jewell has released a new CD as a side project paying tribute to country music legend Loretta Lynn. On the CD, titled "Eilen Jewell presents Butcher Holler: A Tribute to Loretta Lynn," Jewell sings 12 Loretta Lynn songs.
Of the CD, Jewell says:
"Butcher Holler is named for the little Kentucky town where Loretta Lynn was raised. In this tribute to the country star we pay homage to her humble roots and straightforward, hard-hitting performance style. All of the songs in this collection were written by Lynn herself and are a testament not only to her strength as a songwriter, but to her personal strength as well. In the 19 60s and '70s, Loretta Lynn dared to write songs about topics that were widely considered off-limits, especially for women. The fact that her words still hit a nerve today is proof of their timelessness. And so, a toast: to the woman with more banned songs than anyone can count; to the voice that reaches the very grain of theater walls around her; to our national treasure. Gratitude is not enough, so I sing these songs for anyone who will listen."
The CD is available for sale online at http://www.signaturesounds.com/butcher-holler
Here is a video of Loretta Lynn performing "Fist City," the lead track on Eilen Jewell's tribute album:

According to Reuters news agency, Harvey Fuqua, who was best known as the leader of the 1950s doo-wop group The Moonglows, passed away in Detroit on Tuesday, July 6th, at the age of 80. He succumbed to "coronary problems" after a brief illness.
Fuqua formed The Moonglows in his hometown of Louisville, KY in 1951. They were discovered in Cleveland by rock n' roll dj Alan Freed, who got them signed to Chess Records. The song he wrote, "Sincerely," cracked the Top 30 in 1955, and his unmistakeably deep bass voice leads the group on their best-known song, 1958's "Ten Commandments of Love." The versatile artist, entrepreneur, and executive shepherded the careers of such acts as Etta James, The Spinners, and Junior Walker and the All Stars.
Fuqua enlisted Marvin Gaye in The Moonglows in 1958, and later brought him to Motown. He, along with Johnny Bristol, produced Gaye's duets with Tammi Terrell, including "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and "Your Precious Love." They also produced and co-wrote the duo's 1967 single "If I Could Build My Whole World Around You."
Here is a video of Harvey and The Moonglows performing "Sincerely":

The Route 63 Roadhouse in Millers Falls has closed its doors. The Drunk Stuntmen played the last show at the Roadhouse on Saturday, June 26th.
The Roadhouse was located about 20 miles from Amherst and about 20 miles from Greenfield, Driving up to it from Amherst, I was often the only car on Route 63 once I got past the Cherry Hill Golf Course in north Amherst. The building was in the middle of nowhere, but being in the middle of nowhere meant that bands could literally crank their music up to 11 and not have any neighbors complain.
The building that housed the Route 63 Roadhouse was bought by Carol Cameron and Jame Snyder in 2003, and is currently up for sale. The Roadhouse also had a full bar, two pool tables, and served food. The Roadhouse added a full menu about a year ago with Carol doing all the cooking in the kitchen, and her potato skins were absolutely amazing.
The upper floor had a dressing room with a full bar for the performers to use. I remember going to see James Montgomery play there one night. I bought the re-issue of his first CD (the one with "Train" on it), and his handler promised he would sign it for me. Well, after waiting for a half hour, she told me to just go on upstairs. So I did and James was sitting at the bar, and proceeded to regale me with tales of how he helped this musician or that musician kick their alcohol and drug addiction.
I have seen many other great bands at The Route 63 Roadhouse, including The Drunk Stuntmen, The Reprobates Blues Band, The Stone Coyotes, Uncle Billy's Smokehouse, Ottomatic Slim, and Louisiana Red with David Maxwell. My wife and I celebrated our 25th anniversary at The Roadhouse on October 8th, 2008, and our favorite live band, The Reprobates, just happened to be playing that night.
The Roadhouse also had a horseshoe tournament and barbecue on the side lawn every summer, and even organized a bus trip to a Boston Red Sox game every summer. Carole Cameron told The Greenfield Recorder that she hopes whoever does buy the building will re-open it as a roadhouse once again. She said "Route 63 was a true roadhouse. It's a dying breed in America." In the meantime, it will be missed.

This from Boston Band Crush:
This past spring, the Somerville home of Starlab (a self-described "small community of friends rehearsing, silkscreening, and occasionally hosting shows") was flooded, causing massive damages that resulted in huge repair bills. This Saturday, July 3rd, the Starlab community will come together and raise money to help offset the costs incurred. A BBQ and flea market begins at 1pm, and bands will be playing 4-8pm. Bands playing for the cause include Drug Rug; Movers and Shakers, Doomstar!, and Sleepy Very Sleepy. This is an all ages show and a donation of $10 will be requested. This will all take place at Starlab's basement home at 32 Prospect Street in Union Square in Somerville.

Ellis Paul is one of the leading voices in American songwriting. He was a principle leader in the wave of singer/songwriters that emerged from the Boston folk scene, creating a movement that revitalized the national acoustic circuit with an urban, literate, folk pop style that helped renew interest in the genre in the 1990's.
Now Ellis Paul will be celebrating his 20th anniversary as a Boston folk legend with a series of shows at Club Passim in Harvard Square in Cambridge on the weekend of Friday, July 9th and Saturday, July 10th. During these four shows he will perform eight of his albums in their entirety in chronological order. Here is the schedule:
Friday, July 9th, 7pm
Say Something; Stories
Friday, July 9th, 10pm
Carnival of Voices; Translucent Sound
Saturday, July 10th, 7pm
Sweet Mistakes; The Speed of Trees
Saturday, July 10th, 10pm
American Jukebox Fables; The Day After Everything Changed
Tickets to each show are $30, and may be purchased online at http://www.clubpassim.org/ If you purchase a ticket to three of the four shows, you get the fourth ticket free. Details on this deal are on the Club Passim website.
Ellis will also be doing a special family show on Saturday, July 10th at 3:30pm. Tickets for this show are $10. Club Passim is an all ages venue.
Here is the bio for Ellis Paul, taken from his website,
http://www.ellispaul.com/?page=bio
Ellis Paul's charismatic, personally authentic performance style has influenced a generation of artists away from the artifice of pop, and closer towards the realness of folk. Though he remains among the most pop-friendly of today's singer-songwriters - his songs regularly appear in hit movie and TV soundtracks - he has bridged the gulf between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger more successfully than perhaps any of his songwriting peers.
Yet to hear him at this crossroads moment in his career, you would think he was just getting started. For years, he has been among the folk circuit's most popular and dependable headliners, with a mailing list of over 20,000 fiercely loyal fans. He has released 14 CDs, and recently explored new media avenues with a documentary/concert DVD called "3,000 Miles," and "Notes from the Road," a critically acclaimed book of poems and stories.
In recent years, he has also departed from his solo career to tour and record with longtime compadre Vance Gilbert, and to indulge his deep respect for American folk icon Woody Guthrie. He appeared with the all-star Guthrie tribute tour, "Ribbon of Highway, Endless Skyway." For his Philo CD, "The Speed of Trees," he wrote a modern musical setting of Guthrie's unpublished lyric "God's Promise."
Nora Guthrie, Woody's daughter, invited Paul to to perform at a Woody Guthrie tribute show held in September 1996 at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. The show was part of a 10-day celebration to honor Woody and also included performances by Bruce Springsteen, Ani DiFranco, Billy Bragg and others. In 1998, the quintessential Boston songwriter was also made an honorary citizen of Guthrie's birthplace, Okemah, Oklahoma, in recognition of all he has done to revive interest in the Dust Bowl troubadour.
This may surprise casual fans of Paul's urbane, literate and thoroughly modern folk-pop sound - but not those who knew him well. Among the first to single him out from the vast pack clamoring to rise from Boston's open mics in the early '90s was Bill Morrissey, even then considered the definitive New England ballad writer. He was so impressed, he produced Paul's first record, "Say Something," in 1993.
What did he see, so early in Paul's career? "He was always unique," Morrissey recalls. "He didn't write like anybody, didn't sing like anybody, didn't perform like anybody. So many of the songwriters then were trying to imitate whoever they thought was successful. Ellis was always himself; he didn't try to separate himself from his audiences. Perhaps it's because he's a Mainer; there's no pretense, and I think audiences sense that."
Paul is today regarded as such a classic urban songwriter that it's hard to fathom what a small-town boy he was. He grew up in northern Maine, in a potato farming community so remote that his exposure to music came almost entirely from the one top-40 station he could get on his radio, and his school band, where he played trumpet well enough to earn a summer scholarship to the Berklee College of Music.
He toured the country competing in track, catching a hard case of wanderlust, and earning a track scholarship to Boston College.
It was there that he discovered songwriting, completely out of boredom when a track-career-ending knee injury left him bedridden for months, and he began making up songs on a guitar a friend had given him. By 1989, he was haunting the open mic scene that would soon produce the most important generation of Boston folk stars since the early '60s, including Paul, Dar Williams, Vance Gilbert, Jonatha Brooke and Jennifer Kimball (then performing as The Story), Martin Sexton, Patty Griffin, and Catie Curtis.
Almost immediately, Paul's infectious melodicism, literate lyrics, and honest performing style drew attention. As early as 1993, the Boston Globe was calling him a songwriter's songwriter, adding that "no emerging songwriter in recent memory has been more highly touted and respected by songwriters."
While his style was highly introspective at that time, it was also informed by a probing humanism shaped in part by the five years he spent as a social worker. Every day, he struggled to help poor urban kids hovering dangerously on the edges of the criminal justice and welfare systems.
Recalling those days, Paul says, "It definitely gave me a whole new vision of what the world could be like. Even BC was about as safe an environment as you could find. Picking up kids at the projects, breaking up fights, talking to parole officers and psychologists, getting to know this side of life I'd never been exposed to, really opened my mind up. From that, maybe I took sort of a wide-eyed view of the world around me, which seeped into my music."
His skyrocketing career is still the stuff of legend in Boston folk circles; how quickly he climbed from opening act for the likes of Morrissey, Shawn Colvin, and John Gorka, to national headliner and recording star.
Morrissey recalls something else that set him apart back then: his artistic curiosity. Paul would pepper him with questions about who influenced him, which songwriters he should be listening to. He was discovering what a rich, ancient community this music was - and he wanted to dive right into the deep end.
"You know, that's a very smart thing to do," says Morrissey. "It helped set him apart. A lot of young singers I meet are not curious about what went on before; they just say, 'I want to sing another song about my life.' Paul has a sense of roots, of connectedness to the whole history of folk music; he sees the thread that runs through all the generations of this music."
In particular, Paul fell under the spell of Woody Guthrie, who wrote "This Land Is Your Land," "Pastures of Plenty," and a thousand other American anthems. By 1998, Paul was telling the Boston Globe that Woody, to him, was "ground zero, the prototype in a long line of people I'm a huge fan of." He put a Woody Guthrie tattoo on his arm, solemnly telling people it was "a commitment."
An increasingly topical humanism informed his work. Like Guthrie a half-century before, Paul displayed a humble genius for putting the most divisive issues of his day into starkly personal and emotional terms. "She loves a girl," he sang. "What are you going to do if you love her, too?"
"I feel like I'm more a part of a community now than just a songwriter singing about my own struggles and the struggles of the friends I see around me," Paul says of his career today. "Maybe that's the difference between being a singer-songwriter and being a folk musician, that transition into more of a community sense of writing."
At the same time, Paul remains the most mainstream-friendly folk songwriter to emerge from Boston since Tom Rush. Between 1993 and 2004, he won an unprecedented 13 Boston Music Awards, and his songs were heard on hit TV shows Ed and MTV's Real World; and in the soundtracks of several Farrelly Brothers films, including "Me, Myself, & Irene," starring Jim Carrey, and "Shallow Hal," with Jack Black and Gwyneth Paltrow. Director Peter Farrelly has called Paul "a national treasure."
It would be easy - perhaps even advisable - to become complacent after succeeding so remarkably at all the things he set out to do. But there is a restlessness in Paul these days, a vibrant, glowing spirit of artistic adventure. Success to him is not a prize to clutch and protect, but an open door to a wider journey.
"There are differences between the me now and the me I was in the early '90s," he says quietly. "I have a reliable fan base that keeps a roof over my head, for which I'm so thankful. And I think they're also willing and forgiving enough for me to go through any evolution I choose, as long as the core of what I do is honest, and that I continue to write songs and stories about the things I see around me.
"I need to keep feeling refreshed. I've been down the Ellis Paul rabbit-hole, you know, and now I'm looking around and trying to learn new things, experience other people's music and stories. I have no idea where I'm headed, but I think it'll make me a broader artist. "
That sounds like a very safe bet.

This from Boston Band Crush:
It started in Portland, Oregon in 2001, and has grown to be a full-time program there, with additional camps happening in cities worldwide. This year, for the first time, Girls Rock Camp comes to Boston! During the first week in August (2-7), there will be a grrrlriffic explosion of rock at Spontaneous Celebrations in Jamaica Plain.
The general mission of Girls Rock Camp Boston (GRCB) is to build self-esteem and leadership skills through the use of music education and performance. For one week, girls ages 8-16 (regardless of musical ability) get together to form a band. With the help of band coaches and instrument instructors, the goal for each band is to write a song and perform it live on the final evening of the camp session in the Showcase. This year, the Showcase will be at T.T. the Bear's Place in Cambridge
In addition to learning music, the camp hosts a number of workshops to promote the exploration of self expression. So while learning to rock out, the girls will also learn about self-defense, screen printing, zine writing, women in rock history, and more. During lunch break, the girls get to see live performances by local real-life rock ladies. Scheduled to perform so far are Sister Spaceman, Apple Betty, Cathy Cathodic, and Gunpowder Gelatine. on Saturday, August 7th, 1-6PM
There have already been two fundraisers for this event, but there are two more planned:
Monday, July 12th, 9pm-midnight, $8
Midway Cafe in Jamaica Plain
Sunday, July 25th, 1-6pm, $10
TT the Bears in Cambridge
(Live sets from Aerochix, Mary Lou Lord, Hillken Mancini, Robin Lane, and others.)

The third Crossroads Guitar Festival was held at Toyota Park in Bridgeville, Illinois, just outside Chicago, on Saturday, June 26th. The 11-hour, sold out concert, which was put together by guitar god Eric Clapton, featured Sonny Landreth, B.B. King, Jeff Beck, John Mayer, Sheryl Crow, Vince Gill, ZZ Top, Johnny Winter, Ron Wood of the Rolling Stones, Hubert Sumlin, longtime guitarist for Howlin Wolf, The Robert Cray Band, The Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi Band, Jonny Lang, and Stevie Winwood.
Eric runs these festivals every three years, and had previously said that this year's would be the final one. But at the end of the show last Saturday, he said that he was thiinking of putting together another one, presumably in three years. He said “This was going to be the last one, but I don’t think it will be.” He has other people to invite, he said, and he does. According to a story in The New York Times, there are many eligible blues-rockers — the Dead Weather, Them Crooked Vultures, the Black Keys — and guitar-loving jam bands. He could easily add guitarists and guitar bands from outside that blues-rock home turf, who still cherish the instrument but exploit it in other textural and cultural ways, such as Wilco, Sonic Youth, Dirty Projectors and the indie-rock guitar dynamo Marnie Stern; the Indian slide guitarist Debashish Bhattcharya; and the Brazilian bossa nova master Joao Gilberto (who was initially announced for this Crossroads but was not in the final lineup) and countless others.
Money raised from the Crossroads festivals goes to the Crossroads Centre Antigua. Founded by Eric Clapton in 1997, Crossroads Centre was created to provide quality, affordable treatment for alcohol and other drug dependencies. This 32-bed facility, located on the island of Antigua, has become recognized as an international Centre of Excellence for addiction treatment.

Dr. Demento, whose real name is Barrett Hansen, will be taking his syndicated radio program to the Internet this fall.
The radio stations carrying his show has since declined to fewer than a dozen. "With the increasingly narrow casting, as they call it, of radio where stations will pick one relatively restricted format and stick with it 24 hours a day, especially in the music area, my show just got perhaps a little too odd of a duck to fit in," he said. He had planned to stop syndicating it this month until he learned a college station in Amarillo, Texas, had committed to airing it through the summer. Hansen lives with his wife Sue in southern California, and has around 300,000 recordings, every recording format from antique wax cylinders to modern-day digital downloads. The Dr. Demento show will reach its 40th anniversary in October. Hansen was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame last year.

Over 175,000 people attended the 40th anniversary Glastonbury Festival in Great Britain the week beginning Monday, June 21st. Although temperatures on Saturday, June 26th were about 103 degrees, which made the area into a dust bowl, there were no reports of dehydration. The main buzz about this year's festival was about Stevie Wonder, Toots and The Maytals, Muse, Vampire Weekend, Kylie Minogue joining The Scissor Sisters, and a surprise set by Radiohead..
As people left the car parks surrounding the festival grounds early in the morning of Monday, June 28th, Worthy FM, which broadcast just up the hill from the Pyramid Stage, had a two hour special program about a campaign called Storm the Charts.
Storm the Charts is an attempt to get the people of England to listen to 40 songs by unknown, independent artists, and download them from amazon.co.uk this week, with the goal of having as many of these songs in the top 40 download list on amazon on the July 4th weekend. From more than 560 submissions of songs by bands and musicians, 40 were chosen. The criteria was that the band or musician(s) had to either be unsigned or not on one of the four major labels.
Half of the artists were chosen by public vote, and half by a completely separate panel selection. The panel is the former Glastonbury Unsigned competition listening team, with the help of specially invited guest panelists. These panelists have included Tracy Morter (Rage4xmas/Save 6 music), Huw Stephens (BBC introducing/Swn festival), Sofia Hagberg (End of the Road), Emily Eavis (Glastonbury Festival), Steve Henwood (Glastonbury Festival Bandstand/Bath Fringe), Gareth Main (Bearded Magazine), Louise Dodgson (The Unsigned Guide), Adam Brooks (Warp Records), and Louise Kattenhorn (former producer of the John Peel Radio One show).
Amazon.co.uk has reduced the price of most of the downloads to 49p, which I am told is equivalent to $1USD. For more information on this campaign, sign into your Facebook page and search Storm the Charts, and then click Info for a list of the 40 bands and artists that were chosen. I will try to post the results of the campaign in the next NEWS issue of the Weekly Band E-Mail. And this wouldn't be a bad idea in the U.S. either, although I personally would like to see it happen between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It would certainly break the "Glee" and "American Idol" juggernauts.

The Route 63 Roadhouse in Millers Falls has closed its doors. The Drunk Stuntmen played the last show at the Roadhouse on Saturday, June 26th.
The Roadhouse was located about 20 miles from Amherst and about 20 miles from Greenfield, Driving up to it from Amherst, I was often the only car on Route 63 once I got past the Cherry Hill Golf Course in north Amherst. The building was in the middle of nowhere, but being in the middle of nowhere meant that bands could literally crank their music up to 11 and not have any neighbors complain.
The building that housed the Route 63 Roadhouse was bought by Carol Cameron and Jame Snyder in 2003, and is currently up for sale. The Roadhouse also had a full bar, two pool tables, and served food. The Roadhouse added a full menu about a year ago with Carol doing all the cooking in the kitchen, and her potato skins were absolutely amazing.
The upper floor had a dressing room with a full bar for the performers to use. I remember going to see James Montgomery play there one night. I bought the re-issue of his first CD (the one with "Train" on it), and his handler promised he would sign it for me. Well, after waiting for a half hour, she told me to just go on upstairs. So I did and James was sitting at the bar, and proceeded to regale me with tales of how he helped this musician or that musician kick their alcohol and drug addiction.
I have seen many other great bands at The Route 63 Roadhouse, including The Drunk Stuntmen, The Reprobates Blues Band, The Stone Coyotes, Uncle Billy's Smokehouse, Ottomatic Slim, and Louisiana Red with David Maxwell. My wife and I celebrated our 25th anniversary at The Roadhouse on October 8th, 2008, and our favorite live band, The Reprobates, just happened to be playing that night.
The Roadhouse also had a horseshoe tournament and barbecue on the side lawn every summer, and even organized a bus trip to a Boston Red Sox game every summer. Carole Cameron told The Greenfield Recorder that she hopes whoever does buy the building will re-open it as a roadhouse once again. She said "Route 63 was a true roadhouse. It's a dying breed in America." In the meantime, it will be missed.

Here is the bio for Ellis Paul, taken from his website,
http://www.ellispaul.com/?page=bio
Ellis Paul's charismatic, personally authentic performance style has influenced a generation of artists away from the artifice of pop, and closer towards the realness of folk. Though he remains among the most pop-friendly of today's singer-songwriters - his songs regularly appear in hit movie and TV soundtracks - he has bridged the gulf between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger more successfully than perhaps any of his songwriting peers.

He has released 14 CDs, and recently explored new media avenues with a documentary/concert DVD called "3,000 Miles," and "Notes from the Road," a critically acclaimed book of poems and stories.
In recent years, he has also departed from his solo career to tour and record with longtime compadre Vance Gilbert, and to indulge his deep respect for American folk icon Woody Guthrie. He appeared with the all-star Guthrie tribute tour, "Ribbon of Highway, Endless Skyway." For his Philo CD, "The Speed of Trees," he wrote a modern musical setting of Guthrie's unpublished lyric "God's Promise."
Nora Guthrie, Woody's daughter, invited Paul to to perform at a Woody Guthrie tribute show held in September 1996 at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. The show was part of a 10-day celebration to honor Woody and also included performances by Bruce Springsteen, Ani DiFranco, Billy Bragg and others. In 1998, the quintessential Boston songwriter was also made an honorary citizen of Guthrie's birthplace, Okemah, Oklahoma, in recognition of all he has done to revive interest in the Dust Bowl troubadour.
This may surprise casual fans of Paul's urbane, literate and thoroughly modern folk-pop sound - but not those who knew him well.

Paul has a sense of roots, of connectedness to the whole history of folk music; he sees the thread that runs through all the generations of this music."
In particular, Paul fell under the spell of Woody Guthrie, who wrote "This Land Is Your Land," "Pastures of Plenty," and a thousand other American anthems. By 1998, Paul was telling the Boston Globe that Woody, to him, was "ground zero, the prototype in a long line of people I'm a huge fan of." He put a Woody Guthrie tattoo on his arm, solemnly telling people it was "a commitment."
An increasingly topical humanism informed his work. Like Guthrie a half-century before, Paul displayed a humble genius for putting the most divisive issues of his day into starkly personal and emotional terms. "She loves a girl," he sang. "What are you going to do if you love her, too?"
"I feel like I'm more a part of a community now than just a songwriter singing about my own struggles and the struggles of the friends I see around me," Paul says of his career today. "Maybe that's the difference between being a singer-songwriter and being a folk musician, that transition into more of a community sense of writing."
At the same time, Paul remains the most mainstream-friendly folk songwriter to emerge from Boston since Tom Rush. Between 1993 and 2004, he won an unprecedented 13 Boston Music Awards, and his songs were heard on hit TV shows Ed and MTV's Real World; and in the soundtracks of several Farrelly Brothers films, including "Me, Myself, & Irene," starring Jim Carrey, and "Shallow Hal," with Jack Black and Gwyneth Paltrow. Director Peter Farrelly has called Paul "a national treasure."
It would be easy - perhaps even advisable - to become complacent after succeeding so remarkably at all the things he set out to do. But there is a restlessness in Paul these days, a vibrant, glowing spirit of artistic adventure. Success to him is not a prize to clutch and protect, but an open door to a wider journey.
"There are differences between the me now and the me I was in the early '90s," he says quietly. "I have a reliable fan base that keeps a roof over my head, for which I'm so thankful. And I think they're also willing and forgiving enough for me to go through any evolution I choose, as long as the core of what I do is honest, and that I continue to write songs and stories about the things I see around me.
"I need to keep feeling refreshed. I've been down the Ellis Paul rabbit-hole, you know, and now I'm looking around and trying to learn new things, experience other people's music and stories. I have no idea where I'm headed, but I think it'll make me a broader artist. "
That sounds like a very safe bet.

This from Boston Band Crush:
It started in Portland, Oregon in 2001, and has grown to be a full-time program there, with additional camps happening in cities worldwide. This year, for the first time, Girls Rock Camp comes to Boston! During the first week in August (2-7), there will be a grrrlriffic explosion of rock at Spontaneous Celebrations in Jamaica Plain.
The general mission of Girls Rock Camp Boston (GRCB) is to build self-esteem and leadership skills through the use of music education and performance. For one week, girls ages 8-16 (regardless of musical ability) get together to form a band. With the help of band coaches and instrument instructors, the goal for each band is to write a song and perform it live on the final evening of the camp session in the Showcase. This year, the Showcase will be at T.T. the Bear's Place in Cambridge
In addition to learning music, the camp hosts a number of workshops to promote the exploration of self expression. So while learning to rock out, the girls will also learn about self-defense, screen printing, zine writing, women in rock history, and more. During lunch break, the girls get to see live performances by local real-life rock ladies. Scheduled to perform so far are Sister Spaceman, Apple Betty, Cathy Cathodic, and Gunpowder Gelatine. on Saturday, August 7th, 1-6PM
There have already been two fundraisers for this event, but there are two more planned:
Monday, July 12th, 9pm-midnight, $8
Midway Cafe in Jamaica Plain
Sunday, July 25th, 1-6pm, $10
TT the Bears in Cambridge
(Live sets from Aerochix, Mary Lou Lord, Hillken Mancini, Robin Lane, and others.)

The third Crossroads Guitar Festival was held at Toyota Park in Bridgeville, Illinois, just outside Chicago, on Saturday, June 26th. The 11-hour, sold out concert, which was put together by guitar god Eric Clapton, featured Sonny Landreth, B.B. King, Jeff Beck, John Mayer, Sheryl Crow, Vince Gill, ZZ Top, Johnny Winter, Ron Wood of the Rolling Stones, Hubert Sumlin, longtime guitarist for Howlin Wolf, The Robert Cray Band, The Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi Band, Jonny Lang, and Stevie Winwood.
Eric runs these festivals every three years, and had previously said that this year's would be the final one. But at the end of the show last Saturday, he said that he was thiinking of putting together another one, presumably in three years. He said “This was going to be the last one, but I don’t think it will be.” He has other people to invite, he said, and he does. According to a story in The New York Times, there are many eligible blues-rockers — the Dead Weather, Them Crooked Vultures, the Black Keys — and guitar-loving jam bands. He could easily add guitarists and guitar bands from outside that blues-rock home turf, who still cherish the instrument but exploit it in other textural and cultural ways, such as Wilco, Sonic Youth, Dirty Projectors and the indie-rock guitar dynamo Marnie Stern; the Indian slide guitarist Debashish Bhattcharya; and the Brazilian bossa nova master Joao Gilberto (who was initially announced for this Crossroads but was not in the final lineup) and countless others.
Money raised from the Crossroads festivals goes to the Crossroads Centre Antigua. Founded by Eric Clapton in 1997, Crossroads Centre was created to provide quality, affordable treatment for alcohol and other drug dependencies. This 32-bed facility, located on the island of Antigua, has become recognized as an international Centre of Excellence for addiction treatment. If you wish to make a donation to the Centre, you can do so online at

Dr. Demento, whose real name is Barrett Hansen, will be taking his syndicated radio program to the Internet this fall.
The radio stations carrying his show has since declined to fewer than a dozen. "With the increasingly narrow casting, as they call it, of radio where stations will pick one relatively restricted format and stick with it 24 hours a day, especially in the music area, my show just got perhaps a little too odd of a duck to fit in," he said. He had planned to stop syndicating it this month until he learned a college station in Amarillo, Texas, had committed to airing it through the summer. Hansen lives with his wife Sue in southern California, and has around 300,000 recordings, every recording format from antique wax cylinders to modern-day digital downloads. The Dr. Demento show will reach its 40th anniversary in October. Hansen was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame last year.

Over 175,000 people attended the 40th anniversary Glastonbury Festival in Great Britain the week beginning Monday, June 21st. Although temperatures on Saturday, June 26th were about 103 degrees, which made the area into a dust bowl, there were no reports of dehydration. The main buzz about this year's festival was about Stevie Wonder, Toots and The Maytals, Muse, Vampire Weekend, Kylie Minogue joining The Scissor Sisters, and a surprise set by Radiohead..
As people left the car parks surrounding the festival grounds early in the morning of Monday, June 28th, Worthy FM, which broadcast just up the hill from the Pyramid Stage, had a two hour special program about a campaign called Storm the Charts.
Storm the Charts is an attempt to get the people of England to listen to 40 songs by unknown, independent artists, and download them from amazon.co.uk this week, with the goal of having as many of these songs in the top 40 download list on amazon on the July 4th weekend. From more than 560 submissions of songs by bands and musicians, 40 were chosen. The criteria was that the band or musician(s) had to either be unsigned or not on one of the four major labels.
Half of the artists were chosen by public vote, and half by a completely separate panel selection. The panel is the former Glastonbury Unsigned competition listening team, with the help of specially invited guest panelists. These panelists have included Tracy Morter (Rage4xmas/Save 6 music), Huw Stephens (BBC introducing/Swn festival), Sofia Hagberg (End of the Road), Emily Eavis (Glastonbury Festival), Steve Henwood (Glastonbury Festival Bandstand/Bath Fringe), Gareth Main (Bearded Magazine), Louise Dodgson (The Unsigned Guide), Adam Brooks (Warp Records), and Louise Kattenhorn (former producer of the John Peel Radio One show).
Amazon.co.uk has reduced the price of most of the downloads to 49p, which I am told is equivalent to $1USD. For more information on this campaign, sign into your Facebook page and search Storm the Charts, and then click Info for a list of the 40 bands and artists that were chosen. I will try to post the results of the campaign in the next NEWS issue of the Weekly Band E-Mail. And this wouldn't be a bad idea in the U.S. either, although I personally would like to see it happen between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It would certainly break the "Glee" and "American Idol" juggernauts.

Because the month of July begins on a Thursday, the next issue of the Weekly Band E-Mail NEWS (along with the LISTINGS edition) will be sent out on Friday, July 2nd in order to give TheNoise-Boston a chance to post the Top 30 Boston Area CDs According to Radio Airplay for the month of July.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Brian T. Marchese of Northampton has put together a two-disc tribute CD to Thane Thomsen of The Figments, who recently turned 45. Brian says of Thane:
"The first day I met Thane was also the first day I played music with him, at the first Figments practice on School St, Northampton, MA. That was in the final weeks of 1995. I was nearing the end of my time as an undergrad at U Mass. All the other guys in the band seemed way older (really, by just about 5-7 years, but it seemed old to ageist-me), and the songs were way slower and softer than anything I was used to playing. I had a thing about not wasting one's youth on being mellow. My previous two bands, Sourpuss and Sweetspot always left me with broken drumsticks, throbbing eardrums and bleeding calluses. When I first received the tape of Thane's 4-track demos to listen to and learn from, I was immediately struck by the sound of his voice, the lyrical flow and imagery. It felt like the future, or my future at least. Very few times in my life have I had that sure feeling. So nice to feel that instead of encountering the usual roadblocks or detours. Instead, it seemed a pathway to a next phase.
The demo tape was amazing and intriguing, and I listened to it a lot. It was too dark to be hippie-ish, though there was a stoner quality. It was too serious to be Pavement-y, though that kind of indie spirit was there too. There was also the cold, dark western Massachusetts smokey/boozy late night quality of the Scud Mt Boys, but with less precision and prettiness. Also, it was literate but not obnoxiously so.
At the first practice or two, I had to be reminded to chill a bit on the tempo and volume, but eventually found how to shift down to first or second gear. I'd never been surrounded by a more complimentary, yet totally fun and cool and smart bunch of guys in a musical situation. My few suggestions and ideas were welcomed and often used. That Russ Kunkel was referred to in the first practice was an awesome thing in my book. That Russ Brooks came by to say hello and have a beer was even more awesome. As practices continued, I found my drumming style changing--to the point where, when we did start to get loud, I had almost forgotten how to rock out. Yikes. But what emerged was a whole new "from the wrist" style of drumming, which enabled me to play as fast and hard as I used to, but while leaving my hands soft and smooth, and my drumsticks intact, and gave birth to the signature Figments louuuudd....ssssuck...soft turn-on-a-dime-dynamic. Something mysterious also gave birth to the practiced wavering tempos. An effortless group mind that wouldn't make sense if tried to explain. And soon, we were employing feedback-soaked freakouts as loud and chaotic as anyone.
So here we are, 2010, and the Figments, 4-1/2 albums later, still play when we can. In the meantime, Thane and I have been among the busiest musicians in the area. We've played together in Lo Fine, Haunt and my band, Sitting Next to Brian. He's asked me to be the drummer on his amazing Rehab, Mass (aka The 12 Steps) album, as well as his new vehicle, Goldwater (new EP coming out hopefully this fall!). And we each have had several separate projects too.
Thane's a modest guy, quick to deflect credit and kudos and turn away from the spotlight. Thus, I've only known it was his birthday maybe four of the fifteen birthdays I've known him through. A couple years ago, he was helping me move into a new apartment when he mentioned it was his birthday. Goddamn, what an asshole I felt like. "Actually, Brian, this is the PERFECT way to be spending my birthday". Yeah, I thought, what fun, lifting heavy furniture up a narrow staircase on a muggy day. Let the good times roll...and watch the leg of that couch in the doorway--fuck, was that your finger?
It was a confluence of things that gave me the idea for this tribute album: driving home from work, iPod on shuffle, a tune from the latest Figments album, Twelve Belles, came on. Wow. What a band!. I was hit by the realization that, more than any other band, I believe I'll look back on the Figments as the defining band in all the stuff I've done. Don't get me wrong, everything I play on I do so because I love it, and love the songwriting and have a blast playing and hanging out with the musicians. But The Figments, and Thane's songs, taught me, involuntarily, to approach music in a totally different way. Credit is also due to Trace Meek's John MacVie-esque bass, which made me look at the bass guitar/bass drum relationship in new and simplified ways; and Matthew Zapruder's tenacious yet self-deprecating approach to guitar playing (it's only rock>playing rock rules>still, it's only rock>but still it rules, so let's treat it with respect but still stay aware of the innate silliness).
Not long after, I was at work, and another Figments song, this time the old classic "This Dog We Live" came up on the shuffle. Wow! What a perfect 3 verse, 3 minute, in-and-out song that is! I made a mental note: "when I get home I'm gonna figure that one out". Then (as it often does) my brain went on a hyper speed tangent and before I knew it, I was writing a note down "Contact a dozen songwriting friends and ask them to record a Thane song and send it to me. I'll compile them and make a CD for his birthday."
The following six weeks, (two of which were the final two weeks of my harrowing first semester of grad school, so this was a perfect distraction from homework and finals...sigh...) were a labor of love. 90% of the people I asked were into it. Many suggested other people. I thought of a few others as well. The list at one point was up to 27 artists. A few dropped out, or realized time wasn't on their side. I ended up with 23 artists. 24 Thane songs. Most were home recorded in various ways, in various qualities. Five years ago this couldn't have been possible. But now someone (like me) who doesn't own a single piece of recording equipment, can sing and play into the built-in lap top mic, throw an effect (or five) on, muck around with all the toys and effects and loops and gadgets, and end up with something listenable (if not radio-ready. But what is radio anyway?).
Dan Richardson said he'd master it, which was the best news imaginable, since the quality of stuff I was getting varied wildly. From pristine, perfectly mic'd acoustic instruments on multi track analog tape (say, Bruce Tull), to Elephant 6-esque, over-driven spazz outs recorded on an outdated version of Garageband (say, Scott Alden), to everything imaginable in between.
The receiving of submissions every day was a total joy. Each one blew my mind in a different way, and I'd email "the list" with excitement anew--probably a little too often-- and too overloaded with giddy jokes and wise ass remarks. Making and revising the track order was a lot of fun. Imagining just how mind-blown Thane would be was even more fun. Realizing that I'd been a friend of and drummer for this guy who has written so many beloved songs was an unexpected ego boost/ life-affirmation, especially after the sobering, deflating experience of grad school.
Tribute albums can be boring--especially when you really like the artist being paid tribute. XTC's "Testemonial Dinner?"--beh. The Grateful Dead one sucks, save Elvis Costello and Suzanne Vega and Jane's Addiction. I think the Leonard Cohen one's pretty good. Umm...I've probably blocked out the others I've heard. This one, I like the songwriter AND the artists doing them. (and I've played, or probably will end up playing drums for most of them). So there was double appeal.
Also--Thane Who? While he SHOULD be mentioned and referenced in music books and magazines world wide, The Figments etc have not exactly done much to promote themselves. Never toured. gave away more CDs than we sold (though the free 12 Belles album was downloaded 1000+ times!). We did have a three or four year stretch of good luck in NYC, but stuff got in the way. People got serious about their various lots in life. And I couldn't manage to stay faithful to only one, or two, or three bands.
Then there was Northampton's 9/11--i.e. the Baystate closing, which took a lot of wind out of the scene, and sent a lot of music fans home to grow up, mellow out and seldom, if ever, return to the scene.
Since 2002, The Figments have played about as many gigs as we did in any two-month period between 1995-2001. But when we do get together it's nothing but fun and love of the music. And we look and sound almost exactly the same, just with new songs always entering the rotation So there's my plug for the Flywheel show coming up next week (6/26/10)...(you knew that was coming)."

This is the latest message from MPress recording artist Seth Glier. Seth's messages often provide much food for thought, and reflect his sense that he truly loves being a performer.
I arrived on the Quite Valley Ranch in Kerrville TX in the early afternoon of June 4th as the Texas sun just reached 100 + degrees overhead. Ryan [Hommel] and I flew in from Boston that morning, but there I stood several hours later sweating in black corduroy pants and a long sleeve shirt eager to check in as a performer for the Kerrville Folk Festival. "Hey Seth! Welcome Home!" the woman behind the registration table said to me. "Hi? Oh, you see I’ve never been here before," I replied. "Well then…welcome home," she said with a smile as if she knew something I didn’t. "You don’t understand" I snapped back, "this is my first time here EVER. No home! Never been. K?"
I got my backstage pass and food tickets and walked around the camp for a while where I quickly saw many of my singer-songwriter friends from around the country. Catching up and conversations turned to dinner and dinner turned into song circles. On Saturday I took to the main stage after a sing along chorus of "Puff The Magic Dragon" sung by Peter Yarrow & Paul Stookey (from Peter, Paul, and Mary). "Are you kidding me," I thought to myself? Am I really going after such a legendary group? Well minutes later I found myself on stage in front of 6,000 people in a place I’ve never been before but couldn’t help but feel "welcomed home" in some way. It was one of my favorite shows in recent memory.
That same weekend I heard a Canadian singer-songwriter say that with all the traveling we do, for an artist, home is wherever you find your inspiration. I really like that. It’s our choice to either feel comforted or complicated by where we are at any given time. Home does not sit nestled into a hill in Shelburne Falls, MA. I am my home, I am inspired. Have you been inspired lately?"

It is likely that anybody who grew up in the Boston area between the early 1970s and the year 2000 has listened to or at least knows of Charles Laquidara from his days at WBCN and WZLX. Charles came to Boston from KPPC in Pasadena, CA in 1969 to replace Peter Wolf, who was leaving WBCN to form The J. Geils Band.
Charles began "The Big Mattress" morning show on WBCN in 1972, and it could be said that the huge audiences the show drew created the concept of morning drive radio as an attractive buy for advertisers. "The Big Mattress" began with the "LP du jour," when Charles would play a new album in its entirety uninterrupted. Other features of "The Big Mattress" included news analysis by Danny Schechter "The News Dissector," and a game show, "Mattress Mishegas" (Yiddish for "craziness") which he and "Captain" Ken Shelton, who followed Charles at 10am weekday mornings, would play with listeners.
As a recurring part of his time at WBCN, Charles introduced his listeners to his alter-ego, Duane Ingalls Glasscock, who had a show on Saturday mornings. The show began with Charles yelling "Hello Rangooooon" and explained to listeners that Duane was born in a test tube in Butte, Montana. Among those who worked on the Duane show were the late Tom Sandman (of Morphine) and Eddie Goredetsky. Eddie is now producer of Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour on Sirius/XM Satellite Radio, as well as producer of the sitcom "2-1/2 Men," which is the highest-rated sitcom on television today. Charles revealed in a later interview that the Duane shows actually had more listeners than his regular weekday morning shows.
The "Big Mattress" name was retired in 1996 when Charles, who at the time was one of the most highly paid disk jockeys in the country, was persuaded by Oedipus, WBCN's program director, to move over to sister station WZLX to make room for Howard Stern in WBCN's morning time slot. The new program, called "The Charles Laquidara Radio Hour," was broadcast from the WZLX studios in the Prudential Tower, which is where WBCN was during the 1970s before moving underground (literally) to 1265 Boylston Street across from Fenway Park.
When Charles came back to Boston in August 2009 when WBCN left the airwaves to make room for a new sports talk station WBZ-FM, Charles was inducted into the Massachusetts Broadcasters Hall of Fame in recognition of his pioneering efforts in FM radio. Now Charles is up for nomination to the National Radio Hall of Fame, which is a not-for-profit venture of the Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago.
Charles has been selected as a candidate in the field of "Local or Regional - Pioneer." Three others have been nominated in this category: Gary Burbank, Steve Dahl, and Ralph Emery. To see what the National Radio Hall of Fame is all about and to cast your vote for Charles, go to http://www.radiohof.org/

Thirty-six years ago today, June 24th, 1966, The Rolling Stones played at the Manning Bowl in Lynn. Urban legend has this show as the Rolling Stones' first-ever American appearance,.but entries in Wikipedia and by someone connected with WNEW-FM.in New York tell a different story.
This was posted by jabartlett on wnew.com:
"The Stones landed in New York on June 1, 1964, and spent a couple of days doing press, including radio and TV interviews, then they took off for Los Angeles. On June 3, they taped an appearance to be broadcast later in the month on Dean Martin's TV show, Hollywood Palace. They performed I Just Want to Make Love to You and Not Fade Away -- and found themselves the target of Martin's mockery.
Here are the Rolling Stones performing "I Just Wanna Make Love to You" on the Hollywood Palace TV show:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOr2a9oEzGQ
After the Martin taping, the Stones opened their tour at Swing Auditorium in San Bernardino on June 5, then headed for San Antonio for two shows on June 6th and two more on June 7th. The Wikipedia list of concerts shows nothing between San Antonio on the 7th and a show in Excelsior, Minnesota, a Twin Cities suburb, on June 12th. That gap was anything but a layoff, however. The Stones hit Chicago on June 10th, doing more media interviews and, more importantly, two days of sessions at Chess Studios, cutting several songs that would end up on the album Five by Five.
After Chicago and the Twin Cities, it was off to Omaha on June 13th and Detroit on June 14th. In Detroit, a couple of their songs were broadcast on TV, although it's not clear to me whether they were taped at their Olympia Stadium show or performed in a studio. They performed Route 66 on a TV show in Pittsburgh on the 17th and Not Fade Away on a TV show in Cleveland on the 18th in addition to doing concerts in those cities. On June 19th, they played Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, before heading back to New York for a TV appearance and two shows at Carnegie Hall on June 20th. They returned to Britain on June 22nd and were soon back in the studio."
.
The Rolling Stones did begin their second tour of the United States at the Manning Bowl on June 24th, 1966. Their setlist was intended to begin with a cover of Buddy Holly's Not Fade Away, to be followed by The Last Time and Paint in Black. However, the show was cut short due to rain, and police had to use tear gas to quell the angry crowds.
I was living with my parents in Beverly at the time, which was only about 20 miles away from Lynn. Although I was almost 17 at the time, for some reason my father took me to the show. I think Massachusetts law back then required drivers under 18 to be accompanied by someone over 21.
Shortly after I moved to western Mass., I walked into the old Army and Navy Store on Main Street in Northampton, on the other end of the block from Broadside Books, and found an oversized poster of that show and immediately bought it. However, the poster has June 2, 1965 as the date, and Bobby Goldsboro and Johnny Rivers as the opening acts.
My recollection of the show is that it was a sort of "one-hit wonders" package tour that included bands such as The Trade Winds, who at the time had a hit with The Boy From New York City. I also seem to remember that Arnie "Woo Woo" Ginsburg, whose "Night Train" show on WMEX 1510AM in Boston was hugely successful, was the emcee. Whatever...
The Rolling Stones show at Manning Bowl was not the only concert at the stadium. On June 11th, 1976 Ray Charles had a charity concert to raise money for the Life Institute for the Blind. The Four Tops and Dorothy Moore also performed. In August of 1985 Motley Crue drew 15,000 fans. On September 14th, 1985 Aerosmith performed at the stadium as part of their Done With Mirrors tour. But sadly, The Boston Globe reported on September 26th, 2004 that Lynn mayor Edward J. "Chip" Clancy announced at a press conference that the City would move to tear down the 17,000 seat facility, which had fallen into disrepair over the years. It truly was the end of an era.

Back in 1970, Michael Eavis, a dairy farmer who owned 900 acres of farmland in the town of Pilton, in southwest England in the mystical Vale of Avalon, decided to have an outdoor festival on the land. Eavis stated that he decided to run his own festival after seeing an open air Led Zeppelin concert at the Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music 1970. That first show, dubbed The Pilton Pop, Blues, and Folk Festival, was held at Worthy Farm for two days, September 19th and 20th, 1970. Acts included Mark Bolan, Keith Christmas, Stackridge, Al Stewart, and Quintessence. The price:for a ticket was £1, and included free milk from the farm. 1,500 people attended.
Now, some 41 years later, the Glastonbury Festival, as it was renamed, is recognized as the most prestigious outdoor festival in the world, and indeed is the largest greenfield music and arts performing festival in the world.
Glastonbury has 45 different stages to accommodate the attendees' many different tastes. The more commercial aspects revolve around the Pyramid stage, where the major national and international acts appear. But there are several other stages, including the Other and Dance stages, the Jazzworld and Acoustic areas, and family-oriented areas such as the Kidz field, the Theatre, and Circus fields.
Notably absent from this year's Pyramid Stage is U2, as frontman Bono hurt his back while practicing for the band's 360 degree tour about a month ago. But there will be no shortage of megastars this year on the Pyramid Stage. Here is the schedule:
Friday, June 25th
Gorillaz
Dizzee Rascal
Vampire Weekend
Snoop Dogg
Willie Nelson
Corinne Bailey Rae
Femi Kuti
Rolf Harris
Saturday, June 26th
Muse

Jackson Browne
The Lightning Seeds
Tinchy Strider
Sunday, June 27th
Stevie Wonder
Faithless
Jack Johnson
Ray Davies
Slash
Norah Jones
Paloma Faith
Yeoville Town Band
Performing on some of the other stages will be Florence and the Machine, MGMT, Pet Shop Boys, The National, Orbital, LCD Soundsystem, The Flaming Lips, Imogen Heap, Kate Nash, The Cribs, The Hold Steady, Mumford and Sons, Gang of Four, The Black Keys, Tegan and Sara, Mos Def (with full live band), George Clinton with Parliament/Funkadelic, Toots and the Maytals, Dr. John and the Lower 911, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Gandalf Murphy and the Slambovian Circus, Jackson Brown with David Linder, Richard Thompson, Loudon Wainwright III, The Leisure Society, and The Dirty Projectors.

Brian T. Marchese of Northampton has put together a two-disc tribute CD to Thane Thomsen of The Figments, who recently turned 45. Brian says of Thane:
"The first day I met Thane was also the first day I played music with him, at the first Figments practice on School St, Northampton, MA. That was in the final weeks of 1995. I was nearing the end of my time as an undergrad at U Mass. All the other guys in the band seemed way older (really, by just about 5-7 years, but it seemed old to ageist-me), and the songs were way slower and softer than anything I was used to playing. I had a thing about not wasting one's youth on being mellow. My previous two bands, Sourpuss and Sweetspot always left me with broken drumsticks, throbbing eardrums and bleeding calluses. When I first received the tape of Thane's 4-track demos to listen to and learn from, I was immediately struck by the sound of his voice, the lyrical flow and imagery. It felt like the future, or my future at least. Very few times in my life have I had that sure feeling. So nice to feel that instead of encountering the usual roadblocks or detours. Instead, it seemed a pathway to a next phase.
The demo tape was amazing and intriguing, and I listened to it a lot. It was too dark to be hippie-ish, though there was a stoner quality. It was too serious to be Pavement-y, though that kind of indie spirit was there too. There was also the cold, dark western Massachusetts smokey/boozy late night quality of the Scud Mt Boys, but with less precision and prettiness. Also, it was literate but not obnoxiously so.
At the first practice or two, I had to be reminded to chill a bit on the tempo and volume, but eventually found how to shift down to first or second gear. I'd never been surrounded by a more complimentary, yet totally fun and cool and smart bunch of guys in a musical situation. My few suggestions and ideas were welcomed and often used. That Russ Kunkel was referred to in the first practice was an awesome thing in my book. That Russ Brooks came by to say hello and have a beer was even more awesome. As practices continued, I found my drumming style changing--to the point where, when we did start to get loud, I had almost forgotten how to rock out. Yikes. But what emerged was a whole new "from the wrist" style of drumming, which enabled me to play as fast and hard as I used to, but while leaving my hands soft and smooth, and my drumsticks intact, and gave birth to the signature Figments louuuudd....ssssuck...soft turn-on-a-dime-dynamic. Something mysterious also gave birth to the practiced wavering tempos. An effortless group mind that wouldn't make sense if tried to explain. And soon, we were employing feedback-soaked freakouts as loud and chaotic as anyone.
So here we are, 2010, and the Figments, 4-1/2 albums later, still play when we can. In the meantime, Thane and I have been among the busiest musicians in the area. We've played together in Lo Fine, Haunt and my band, Sitting Next to Brian. He's asked me to be the drummer on his amazing Rehab, Mass (aka The 12 Steps) album, as well as his new vehicle, Goldwater (new EP coming out hopefully this fall!). And we each have had several separate projects too.
Thane's a modest guy, quick to deflect credit and kudos and turn away from the spotlight. Thus, I've only known it was his birthday maybe four of the fifteen birthdays I've known him through. A couple years ago, he was helping me move into a new apartment when he mentioned it was his birthday. Goddamn, what an asshole I felt like. "Actually, Brian, this is the PERFECT way to be spending my birthday". Yeah, I thought, what fun, lifting heavy furniture up a narrow staircase on a muggy day. Let the good times roll...and watch the leg of that couch in the doorway--fuck, was that your finger?
It was a confluence of things that gave me the idea for this tribute album: driving home from work, iPod on shuffle, a tune from the latest Figments album, Twelve Belles, came on. Wow. What a band!. I was hit by the realization that, more than any other band, I believe I'll look back on the Figments as the defining band in all the stuff I've done. Don't get me wrong, everything I play on I do so because I love it, and love the songwriting and have a blast playing and hanging out with the musicians. But The Figments, and Thane's songs, taught me, involuntarily, to approach music in a totally different way. Credit is also due to Trace Meek's John MacVie-esque bass, which made me look at the bass guitar/bass drum relationship in new and simplified ways; and Matthew Zapruder's tenacious yet self-deprecating approach to guitar playing (it's only rock>playing rock rules>still, it's only rock>but still it rules, so let's treat it with respect but still stay aware of the innate silliness).
Not long after, I was at work, and another Figments song, this time the old classic "This Dog We Live" came up on the shuffle. Wow! What a perfect 3 verse, 3 minute, in-and-out song that is! I made a mental note: "when I get home I'm gonna figure that one out". Then (as it often does) my brain went on a hyper speed tangent and before I knew it, I was writing a note down "Contact a dozen songwriting friends and ask them to record a Thane song and send it to me. I'll compile them and make a CD for his birthday."
The following six weeks, (two of which were the final two weeks of my harrowing first semester of grad school, so this was a perfect distraction from homework and finals...sigh...) were a labor of love. 90% of the people I asked were into it. Many suggested other people. I thought of a few others as well. The list at one point was up to 27 artists. A few dropped out, or realized time wasn't on their side. I ended up with 23 artists. 24 Thane songs. Most were home recorded in various ways, in various qualities. Five years ago this couldn't have been possible. But now someone (like me) who doesn't own a single piece of recording equipment, can sing and play into the built-in lap top mic, throw an effect (or five) on, muck around with all the toys and effects and loops and gadgets, and end up with something listenable (if not radio-ready. But what is radio anyway?).
Dan Richardson said he'd master it, which was the best news imaginable, since the quality of stuff I was getting varied wildly. From pristine, perfectly mic'd acoustic instruments on multi track analog tape (say, Bruce Tull), to Elephant 6-esque, over-driven spazz outs recorded on an outdated version of Garageband (say, Scott Alden), to everything imaginable in between.
The receiving of submissions every day was a total joy. Each one blew my mind in a different way, and I'd email "the list" with excitement anew--probably a little too often-- and too overloaded with giddy jokes and wise ass remarks. Making and revising the track order was a lot of fun. Imagining just how mind-blown Thane would be was even more fun. Realizing that I'd been a friend of and drummer for this guy who has written so many beloved songs was an unexpected ego boost/ life-affirmation, especially after the sobering, deflating experience of grad school.
Tribute albums can be boring--especially when you really like the artist being paid tribute. XTC's "Testemonial Dinner?"--beh. The Grateful Dead one sucks, save Elvis Costello and Suzanne Vega and Jane's Addiction. I think the Leonard Cohen one's pretty good. Umm...I've probably blocked out the others I've heard. This one, I like the songwriter AND the artists doing them. (and I've played, or probably will end up playing drums for most of them). So there was double appeal.
Also--Thane Who? While he SHOULD be mentioned and referenced in music books and magazines world wide, The Figments etc have not exactly done much to promote themselves. Never toured. gave away more CDs than we sold (though the free 12 Belles album was downloaded 1000+ times!). We did have a three or four year stretch of good luck in NYC, but stuff got in the way. People got serious about their various lots in life. And I couldn't manage to stay faithful to only one, or two, or three bands.
Then there was Northampton's 9/11--i.e. the Baystate closing, which took a lot of wind out of the scene, and sent a lot of music fans home to grow up, mellow out and seldom, if ever, return to the scene.
Since 2002, The Figments have played about as many gigs as we did in any two-month period between 1995-2001. But when we do get together it's nothing but fun and love of the music. And we look and sound almost exactly the same, just with new songs always entering the rotation So there's my plug for the Flywheel show coming up next week (6/26/10)...(you knew that was coming)."
Here is the track listing for the two CDs:

I arrived on the Quite Valley Ranch in Kerrville TX in the early afternoon of June 4th as the Texas sun just reached 100 + degrees overhead.

"Well then…welcome home," she said with a smile as if she knew something I didn’t. "You don’t understand" I snapped back, "this is my first time here EVER. No home! Never been. K?"

On Saturday I took to the main stage after a sing along chorus of "Puff The Magic Dragon" sung by Peter Yarrow & Paul Stookey (from Peter, Paul, and Mary). "Are you kidding me," I thought to myself? Am I really going after such a legendary group? Well minutes later I found myself on stage in front of 6,000 people in a place I’ve never been before but couldn’t help but feel "welcomed home" in some way. It was one of my favorite shows in recent memory.
That same weekend I heard a Canadian singer-songwriter say that with all the traveling we do, for an artist, home is wherever you find your inspiration. I really like that. It’s our choice to either feel comforted or complicated by where we are at any given time. Home does not sit nestled into a hill in Shelburne Falls, MA. I am my home, I am inspired. Have you been inspired lately?"

It is likely that anybody who grew up in the Boston area between the early 1970s and the year 2000 has listened to or at least knows of Charles Laquidara from his days at WBCN and WZLX. Charles came to Boston from KPPC in Pasadena, CA in 1969 to replace Peter Wolf, who was leaving WBCN to form The J. Geils Band.
Charles began "The Big Mattress" morning show on WBCN in 1972, and it could be said that the huge audiences the show drew created the concept of morning drive radio as an attractive buy for advertisers. "The Big Mattress" began with the "LP du jour," when Charles would play a new album in its entirety uninterrupted. Other features of "The Big Mattress" included news analysis by Danny Schechter "The News Dissector," and a game show, "Mattress Mishegas" (Yiddish for "craziness") which he and "Captain" Ken Shelton, who followed Charles at 10am weekday mornings, would play with listeners.
As a recurring part of his time at WBCN, Charles introduced his listeners to his alter-ego, Duane Ingalls Glasscock, who had a show on Saturday mornings. The show began with Charles yelling "Hello Rangooooon" and explained to listeners that Duane was born in a test tube in Butte, Montana. Among those who worked on the Duane show were the late Tom Sandman (of Morphine) and Eddie Goredetsky. Eddie is now producer of Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour on Sirius/XM Satellite Radio, as well as producer of the sitcom "2-1/2 Men," which is the highest-rated sitcom on television today. Charles revealed in a later interview that the Duane shows actually had more listeners than his regular weekday morning shows.
The "Big Mattress" name was retired in 1996 when Charles, who at the time was one of the most highly paid disk jockeys in the country, was persuaded by Oedipus, WBCN's program director, to move over to sister station WZLX to make room for Howard Stern in WBCN's morning time slot. The new program, called "The Charles Laquidara Radio Hour," was broadcast from the WZLX studios in the Prudential Tower, which is where WBCN was during the 1970s before moving underground (literally) to 1265 Boylston Street across from Fenway Park.
When Charles came back to Boston in August 2009 when WBCN left the airwaves to make room for a new sports talk station WBZ-FM, Charles was inducted into the Massachusetts Broadcasters Hall of Fame in recognition of his pioneering efforts in FM radio. Now Charles is up for nomination to the National Radio Hall of Fame, which is a not-for-profit venture of the Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago.
Charles has been selected as a candidate in the field of "Local or Regional - Pioneer." Three others have been nominated in this category: Gary Burbank, Steve Dahl, and Ralph Emery. To see what the National Radio Hall of Fame is all about and to cast your vote for Charles, go to http://www.radiohof.org/

Thirty-six years ago today, June 24th, 1966, The Rolling Stones played at the Manning Bowl in Lynn. Urban legend has this show as the Rolling Stones' first-ever American appearance,.but entries in Wikipedia and by someone connected with WNEW-FM.in New York tell a different story.
This was posted by jabartlett on wnew.com:
"The Stones landed in New York on June 1, 1964, and spent a couple of days doing press, including radio and TV interviews, then they took off for Los Angeles. On June 3, they taped an appearance to be broadcast later in the month on Dean Martin's TV show, Hollywood Palace. They performed I Just Want to Make Love to You and Not Fade Away -- and found themselves the target of Martin's mockery.
Here are the Rolling Stones performing "I Just Wanna Make Love to You" on the Hollywood Palace TV show:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOr2a9oEzGQ
After the Martin taping, the Stones opened their tour at Swing Auditorium in San Bernardino on June 5, then headed for San Antonio for two shows on June 6th and two more on June 7th. The Wikipedia list of concerts shows nothing between San Antonio on the 7th and a show in Excelsior, Minnesota, a Twin Cities suburb, on June 12th. That gap was anything but a layoff, however. The Stones hit Chicago on June 10th, doing more media interviews and, more importantly, two days of sessions at Chess Studios, cutting several songs that would end up on the album Five by Five.
After Chicago and the Twin Cities, it was off to Omaha on June 13th and Detroit on June 14th. In Detroit, a couple of their songs were broadcast on TV, although it's not clear to me whether they were taped at their Olympia Stadium show or performed in a studio. They performed Route 66 on a TV show in Pittsburgh on the 17th and Not Fade Away on a TV show in Cleveland on the 18th in addition to doing concerts in those cities. On June 19th, they played Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, before heading back to New York for a TV appearance and two shows at Carnegie Hall on June 20th. They returned to Britain on June 22nd and were soon back in the studio."
.
The Rolling Stones did begin their second tour of the United States at the Manning Bowl on June 24th, 1966. Their setlist was intended to begin with a cover of Buddy Holly's Not Fade Away, to be followed by The Last Time and Paint in Black. However, the show was cut short due to rain, and police had to use tear gas to quell the angry crowds.
I was living with my parents in Beverly at the time, which was only about 20 miles away from Lynn. Although I was almost 17 at the time, for some reason my father took me to the show. I think Massachusetts law back then required drivers under 18 to be accompanied by someone over 21.
Shortly after I moved to western Mass., I walked into the old Army and Navy Store on Main Street in Northampton, on the other end of the block from Broadside Books, and found an oversized poster of that show and immediately bought it. However, the poster has June 2, 1965 as the date, and Bobby Goldsboro and Johnny Rivers as the opening acts.
My recollection of the show is that it was a sort of "one-hit wonders" package tour that included bands such as The Trade Winds, who at the time had a hit with The Boy From New York City. I also seem to remember that Arnie "Woo Woo" Ginsburg, whose "Night Train" show on WMEX 1510AM in Boston was hugely successful, was the emcee. Whatever...
The Rolling Stones show at Manning Bowl was not the only concert at the stadium. On June 11th, 1976 Ray Charles had a charity concert to raise money for the Life Institute for the Blind. The Four Tops and Dorothy Moore also performed. In August of 1985 Motley Crue drew 15,000 fans. On September 14th, 1985 Aerosmith performed at the stadium as part of their Done With Mirrors tour. But sadly, The Boston Globe reported on September 26th, 2004 that Lynn mayor Edward J. "Chip" Clancy announced at a press conference that the City would move to tear down the 17,000 seat facility, which had fallen into disrepair over the years. It truly was the end of an era.

Back in 1970, Michael Eavis, a dairy farmer who owned 900 acres of farmland in the town of Pilton, in southwest England in the mystical Vale of Avalon, decided to have an outdoor festival on the land. Eavis stated that he decided to run his own festival after seeing an open air Led Zeppelin concert at the Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music 1970. That first show, dubbed The Pilton Pop, Blues, and Folk Festival, was held at Worthy Farm for two days, September 19th and 20th, 1970. Acts included Mark Bolan, Keith Christmas, Stackridge, Al Stewart, and Quintessence. The price:for a ticket was £1, and included free milk from the farm. 1,500 people attended.
Now, some 41 years later, the Glastonbury Festival, as it was renamed, is recognized as the most prestigious outdoor festival in the world, and indeed is the largest greenfield music and arts performing festival in the world.
Glastonbury has 45 different stages to accommodate the attendees' many different tastes. The more commercial aspects revolve around the Pyramid stage, where the major national and international acts appear. But there are several other stages, including the Other and Dance stages, the Jazzworld and Acoustic areas, and family-oriented areas such as the Kidz field, the Theatre, and Circus fields.
Notably absent from this year's Pyramid Stage is U2, as frontman Bono hurt his back while practicing for the band's 360 degree tour about a month ago. But there will be no shortage of megastars this year on the Pyramid Stage. Here is the schedule:
Friday, June 25th
