Hey Folks, Don’t consider this a plug, more a word of advice. If you’re in the Boston area, head on down to the Newbury Comics at Government Center soon; they’re liquidating their supply of everything before their move to Faneuil Hall and putting everything on sale. But, get there sooner than later before everything is … [Read more…]
Giddy would be a great explanation for how I felt when I saw this news release from Jagjaguwar: We’re proud to announce that PARTS & LABOR will be releasing their new album, “Receivers,” on 10/21/08 here in the US and 11/03/08 in the UK.

Like any “normal” male adolescent in America, my elementary school days were filled with a love of sports and comic books. For me, it was more comic books than sports.

As any other savy internet users are concerned, a trio of folks hailing from the greater Baltimore/DC area new about this all to well. … [Read more…]
Great news today from reunion land, where Shudder To Think will join a growing list of acts banding together to make a little tour. It’s not much, but I’ll certainly take it. It also doesn’t hurt that Boston is one of the few locations in America that the band is scheduled to hit; they’ll be … [Read more…]
