As usual, holiday songs have been hammering into our consciousness the day after Thanksgiving. Personally, I am not too much a fan of holiday songs... I like them in minute doses. So, this is for all those peeps who share the same sentiment with me regarding the holiday music. Here is a little musical treat. I promise this will put a smile on your faces and make you all warm & fuzzy :) Check it out!
I hope listening to this song will transport you to a warm beach town. Enjoy!
If you're looking to go to a performance by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, below are a couple of great options (some of these have been around for awhile, so it may not be new info for you).
If you're under 40, the BSO has <40 = $20 offer. A maximum of two tickets per show can be purchased, these types of tickets are limited, and proof of age is required, but it's a great way to spend a night at the Symphony.
The other great option is going to an Open Rehearsal - either during the day or the evening. Tickets are $19 and seats are on a first-come first-serve basis. Open Rehearsals are a great way to hear beautiful music and see the musicians interact as they perfect their craft.
The BSO has other programs for classical music aficionados and novices alike. Check out their website for more information.
Once up on a time, there were girls, boys, and marsupials in the land far far away...
That’s pretty much all I got... Sorry to disappoint for those who expected to read about some fairy tale story involving girls, boys and marsupials. There is no story here.
But, there is an album released by The Wombats, titled “A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation” (<- iTunes Store link) and its first track is called “Tales of Girls, Boys, and Marsupials”.
It’s about time that this album got released here in the US. Damn the record companies for putting on DRM (For those who are not geeky enough to know what DRM is, click here) and not releasing albums quickly in different parts of the world! I guess better late than never.
Originally, this was release in UK last year as The Wombats’ debut album. Anyhoo, listen to tracks such as “Moving to New York”, “Let’s Dance to Joy Division”, “Kill the Director” and “Patricia the Stripper”. These folks are indie-rock-disco and a laugh! Lyrics maybe silly, but do you really need deep and meaningful lyrics when you are drinking and having fun?!

Yeap, if you are scratching your head what the title of this post means then don't worry. You are not alone!
I have been waiting for some new music from Girl Talk since his last album ("Night Ripper" in 2006). Little birdie told me this morning (ok, it was an e-mail) that Girl Talk has released a new album called "Feed The Animals".
On Thursday nights during the summer, the ICA has its HarborWalk concert series featuring Berklee College of Music students, faculty, and alumni. It's great music, a beautiful view, and, best of all, FREE. Seating is limited to the wooden steps/deck at the ICA so find a nice summer's Thursday and leave work early!
The ICA Calendar lists the various musicians who will be performing there this summer.
Few weeks ago on my music binge spree, I stumbled up on a band named "Bryan Scary and the Shredding Tears". I have to say their whole album (Flight of the Knife), (<-iTunes Store link) just blew me away!
Unless you've been living under a rock with you eyes closed and your ears shut, you may have heard of a lovely film called "Once".
If you've been watching some tele, I am sure you have come across one of the new iPod commercials that features "Shut Up and Let Me Go" by The Ting Tings.
