Blurb in the Phoenix

My band, The Woodrow Wilsons, got mentioned in today’s Boston Phoenix. We’re playing next week (monday to be specific) at Band in Boston’s residency at PA’s Lounge in Somerville, and we got a mention in association with that.
WHEE!


Rejoice and Be Gay

Massachusetts finally got its act together about something and repealed that law from 1913 that prohibited couples from marrying in the Commonwealth if their union would not be legal in their home state. (Though I gotta tell ya, I’m curious who those 36 assholes are who voted against.) This law was originally intended to [...]


I know this disc is “rare”, but…

While searching to try (in vain) to find a copy of an old 7″ from a local band in my high school days, I discovered some donkey selling Chimark’s Fifteen Fingered Man EP via the Amazon Marketplace for $100.
I realize there are probably no more than a couple thousand copies of this disc at most, [...]


New Green Line stops announced

Some representatives from the Mass. Office of Transportation announced the proposed locations of the Green Line extension in Somerville and sort-of-Medford.
It’s about time someone from a legitimate office of the Commonwealth said something that suggested a future for this project.

Brookline Stairway Liberation Front

No Stairway? Denied!
People need to reclaim their staircases. The people shall not be denied.


Check Out The Fucking PONCHO!

I remember noticing this the other day while skimming this week’s issue of the Dig (it’s usually too difficult to actually read the whole thing anymore). Someone ponied up for a 1/4 page ad ad put this in the space.
Thankfully, Rod Begbie has an internet-formatted version posted on flickr. Examine it here in [...]


Massachusetts: Ripping Everyone Else Off

The Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism has unveiled its new marketing slogan designed to woo vacationers from the four corners of the world to the fantastic Commonwealth: “It’s All Here“.

If you’re experiencing a sense that you’ve heard that phrase before, well, it’s because you have. Probably often, in fact; it was a tagline [...]


Dear Major League Baseball

Kindly go fucking fuck yourself.
Love,
Tape
P.S. The Harwich Mariners existed before the Seattle Mariners, and I know that the New York Mets actually GIVE their old home whites to the Hyannis Mets, proving your whole argument is bunk.
P.P.S. do not fuck with the Cape Cod Baseball League, or I will find a way to destroy Major [...]


Dan Grabauskas’ successor: FOUND

This kid has already done more “work” than Dan Grabausakas ever has (or will) for the MBTA. He should be given the MBTA GM job immediately, just after Danny’s public hanging at the Parkman Bandstand.


Glorious Freedom!

Finally, I can utter the words “I don’t believe in this God character” or “I sure do disapprove of the way God handled that situation; he should be ashamed of himself” in Our Fair Commonwealth without fear of a year’s imprisonment and/or forfeiture of five hundred bucks. The Globe says so.
Also, I can be [...]
