After reading Nick's recent post about those early albums that inspired him and some of the great posts by RSL fave Forgotten Disc Fridays , I decided it was time to break out the oldest in my collection, O Positive's " Only Breathing " . This was put out by one of my favorite record label names ever, Throbbing Lobster. O Positive is a Boston-based band that broke up back in 95'. They have gotten [...]
[Above: Memorabilia from the author's own embarrassing archive.] O Positive , who are playing a reunion benefit this Friday night , August 7th, at the Paradise, were the biggest band in Boston in an era where that really meant something. It meant headlining two sold-out shows in one night at the Paradise every six weeks or so, while filling the rest of the time playing every other club in the region.

You never know who's going to visit: I was in O Positive and am glad that you're making the songs available to be heard. Who needs to pay $150 for a CD? It's also a trip to read your reviews of the gigs from that era. Thanks. Dave Herlihy Thanks for writing, Dave! I really do need to update those gig reviews. I fell way behind and never got caught up. The important part - [...]
