06.01.09Santigold Afterparty x Good LifeWe tried to tell you about Santogold back in '08, but you just wouldn't listen. Now she's murdering indie rap/rock beats, and you're out on your ass on Lansdowne trying to scalp tickets for her show at the House of Blues tonight. Well, if you didn't catch on back then (or you couldn't follow the o-->i switch), you still get a second chance to hear some bonkers music at the Santigold afterparty at Good Life. Expect a packed house of diplo-philic DJs and performances from Revolver residents DJ Ghostdad and Brek.One. What: Santigold/Amanda Blank Afterparty Who: Roofeo (Santigold), DJ Ghostdad, Brek.One, Devlin & ...

04.23.09Weekend Jam-Spot Report (4/24)The sleep falls away slowly and shards of broken sunlight jut across the shade. A groan -- soft, meek. A haze hangs heavy over the room, and you fumble back through the night, grasping for where and why. And then, a spark: Jamaica Plain. You try to grab hold, but it flits away. You chase after it, swooping through the thorny, gray patches, peering into the dark, waiting for another far-off flash. A man with a mustache? Ryan Durkin and $2 drafts...? And then at once, in a flood of consciousness, you remember: there was a fucking phenomenal party in Jamaica ...

12.29.08Local Sound: DJ GhostdadPhoto courtesy Chris Barnhill Wedged between 10-hour shifts and facing a soggy commute in the morning, a wiser man than myself may have chosen to stay home. "But it's Sunday," I reasoned. "I'll be back by midnight. Things can't get that crazy on a Sunday." Six hours later, I was helping a man with no shoes out of flower bed somewhere in Brighton. Ghostdad and Ryan Durkin had invited me out to ZuZu for their new, weekly DJ night, Do It Again, and after our last meet-up with the Captain, I was reticent to miss the opportunity. But a parting glass became two ...

08.26.08The Interview: Ryan DurkinYou can catch Ryan Durkin Tuesday night at the Enormous Room OR Saturday at a face-melting edition of Basstown, featuring DJ Die Young, DJ Ghostdad, Volvox and Kingdom from NYC! The night I met Ryan Durkin started with bootleg-grade vodka and ended with something called a Bad Babysitter. Needless to say, I didn't take notes on our conversation. Luckily, we got a second chance to catch up with the N.H.-born DJ this week. Ryan, who was one of the organizers behind the abortive Fuzzy Coconuts Charles River rave, has been looping beats for rapper Black Element and is starting to make ...

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, [...]
