07.30.08Ice Cream People x The Milky Way (7/28)The last thing I expected to see at an event intended to celebrate the underdog of mythological creatures was a crowd of people waiting to get in. I guess it goes to show that you should never underestimate the allure of ice cream - or ice cream people - on a hot summer evening. Artist and ice-cream-person enthusiast Brian Butler understands just that, and as the mastermind behind IceCreamPeople.org, he was host to the project's first public event Monday night at the Milky Way in Jamaica Plain.

07.28.08At The Buzzer Opens In AllstonAllston streetwear shoppers will have a new option available this month following the opening of At The Buzzer, a consignment shop and cap retailer. The store is located at the top of Harvard Avenue and offers a wide variety of both second-hand and deadstock shoes, as well as a selection of caps from New Era. TH caught up with the managing partner of the store, J, a day before the grand opening. We found him vacuum-sealing a pair of Jordans behind the counter. He talked with us about the Boston scene and his vision for the business. Photo gallery ...

07.28.08The Interview: Nick White of Tilly and the WallWe racked up some long-distance minutes with Tilly and the Wall’s Nick White last week while he was travelling through Texas. The keyboardist talked to us about adolescent love rituals, the Tilly Texas Crawl and his band’s tap-dancing rhythm section. I catch up with Tilly and the Wall’s keyboardist, Nick White, over the phone while he embarks on an upcoming gig in Austin. I imagine White and the fashionable five-some lounging on a tour bus, drinking a few beers and recounting late-night adventures. I picture them rehearsing new songs, covering old favorites, enjoying the open road… In truth, their afternoon ...

07.24.08MGMT at the Paradise Rock Club (7/23)As promised, here are some bootleg clips of the MGMT show at the Paradise. Unfortunately, none of these snippets do justice to the performance from James Richardson, the band's guitar player, who was in top form Wednesday. The group let him off the leash on a few tunes and he shredded like a beast. You can start to here him take over at the end of Weekend Wars. Electric Feel Continue Reading...

07.23.08Amstel Light to Dutch-ize BostonIf you're willing to stomach an uninspired marketing campaign in exchange for free beer, check out Amstel Light's promotion downtown Thursday night. Visit your favorite pubs around Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market from 5:00–8:00 p.m. to experience the free-spirit of Amsterdam with “Dutch Treat” specials and a unique 10-person "Beer Bike." Be on the lookout for Amstel Light bike riders giving away free Amstel Light-branded items. Continue Reading...

07.18.08The Interview: James Richardson of MGMTJames Richardson, lead guitarist for electric, eccentric, psych-pop sensation MGMT, took some time to chat with us about opening for Radiohead, jamming on the festival scene, and turning out the Paradise Rock Club next week. “Andrew is sick,” says a voice in my phone over background noise and stifled giggles. “This is James. I’m filling his spot for the interview today.” Initially, I was scheduled to interview Andrew VanWyngarden, one of the original, funky co-founders of MGMT, so I was surprised to be greeted by a replacement. But what a substitute to have. Richardson, lead guitarist of the indie-psych-rock-pop group, chats like ...

07.16.08Seen At: Privus Lounge (7/12)While stopping by Circus at Privus Lounge, TH scoped this throwback to the golden era. Is that the dude from Kid 'N Play? We had hoped this guy was preparing for the YOYOYO '90s Dance Jam last night, but he was nowhere to be found at Middlesex Lounge.

The Election Collection x Chris Piascik»
After being rescued from the brink of extinction a decade ago, the Moleskine notebook has been reborn as the PBR of stationery goods. A marketing campaign from Italian publisher Modo & Modo cast the oilcloth journal as a requisite for travelers, writers, artists and otherwise impoverished people, and the company’s popularity has since mushroomed into [...]

Preview: Sondre Lerche x Paradise Rock Club (11/22)»
I am scheduled to interview Norwegian singer/songwriter Sondre Lerche at 12:10 p.m. on Wednesday. Lerche is in the middle of an east-coast tour, and as the hour arrives, I hunker down at my desk with a magazine, anticipating the usual problems (late phone call, crappy connection, tight time constraints). But just as I settle in, [...]

Breakfast With The MBTA - Volume I»
The yearly clusterfuck that is move-in day brought the city to its knees again this week, and like thousands of other Bostonians, we spent the afternoon cramming a U-Haul truck down one-way streets with the ease of childbirth.
We’ve been stretching out in the new TH headquarters deep in the heart of Allston Rock City, and [...]
