From the Archives: Artageddon at the Distillery Gallery»
In art, as in love, things can get a bit messy when the Internet is involved. In the old days of aesthetic courtship, the rules were simple: artist toils in obscurity; gallery discovers artist; the Whitney calls and they fall in love at the Empire State Building. Gallerists were the gatekeepers to the art world, [...]

Straight Outta New Bedford: 2 Men Arrested For Gangsta Rap Video»
When two aspiring hip-hop artists from Massachusetts were hauled into court last month and charged with making threats against police in a rap video, everyone in the court room, from the defense attorneys to the prosecutors, agreed on one thing: Matthew Rufino, 24, and Jason Foley, 28, do not have a bright future ahead in [...]

Glam Shots: Common Goes Goggling; House Of Pain Goes Green»
Photos by ThinkCommon.com Ever vigilant, our dude Brandon spotted these photos of Common doing some boutique goggle shopping in Cambridge. The southside rapper stopped by Concepts in Harvard Square last month and mugged for some photos. My favorite comment from his blog: Concepts also hosted House of Pain on St. Paddy’s Day for a [...]

I couldn’t figure out how to contact you and I would like my upcoming event posted on the calender. I have a flyer if needed. Just hit me back. Thanks.
Puma has decided it’s time to shake off those winter blues with an all out MP3 showdown. For those of you that aren’t familiar MP3 Battles (You might know them as Ipod Battles but we are an equal opportunity rager) consist of 8 teams facing off in head to head battles to see who can rock a party the hardest. Check out the videos below to get a better idea ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzBtdFwx97Q ). This is the first in a series of 3 battles all over Boston so get ready for a lively spring!
Round 1 will feature teams from some of Boston’s best dance nights, media outlets, and boutiques. Teams include Hearthrob, Karma Loop, Night Society, The Weekly Dig, Bodega and many more!
This is all well and good but we’ve yet to mention the most important part of this whole thing, YOU! That’s right winners will be determined via a decibel meter measuring crowd response to each teams efforts. So come out and rep your favorite teams, they’re going to need it!
Also, we have one of Boston’s best DJs, Dr. Claw on the decks to get everyone warmed up and the battle will be hosted by Mistaker from Thunderdome.
And since we’re all low on cash these days Puma is going to help out in procurement of certain beverages that might encourage one to cheer on their favorite team even more enthusiastically.

Doors open at 9:00PM with the battles to begining at 11:00PM, so don’t be late!

Hello,
I also couldn’t figure out how to get in contact with you. I’m interning this summer for Machine Shop Marketing, an entertainment marketing company. Right now, I am trying to spread awareness about a contest with MTV2/Comcast for local bands in Boston. If you are interested, would you posting something about this to let people know what’s going on? Thank you.
