It's been a tough week in Boston . Things are starting to get back to normal, with baseball resuming yesterday evening. There's a tradition at the Red Sox of singing Sweet Caroline, and as a gesture of solidarity their rival teams had been singing the song as well this week. Last night, Neil Diamond turned up in Boston to join in : Diamond’s rep tells The Hollywood Reporter as soon as the singer heard the Red Sox game was going to happen, he felt a need to be there. He took a red-eye flight [...]

Mentre i Dropkick Murphys raccoglievano 100,000 dollari in un giorno , per beneficienza alle famiglie delle vittime delle bombe a Boston, in molti si chiedevano: ma gli Aerosmith, la band più di successo nata a Boston, che fine hanno fatto? . Il gruppo ha rotto il silenzio in una conferenza stampa in Australia: gli Aerosmith erano partiti per il tour australiano proprio Lunedì 15, il giorno delle bombe, ed erano in aeroporto a Boston quando le notizie hanno iniziato a diffondersi. Ecco i loro ricordi. Steven Tyler: "I miei pensieri più amorevoli vanno [...]

An early look at next week's New Yorker cover, "Shadow Over Boston," by Eric Drooker. [via @RWW ]

I can sleep tonight.

Home to Berklee School of Music and a long history of musicianship and music artistry, the burgeoning Boston music scene has been known for coming together in a crisis. Allston Pudding , a Boston-based music blog and supporter of that scene, were direct witness to the tragic Boston Marathon bombings & they wanted to help in any way they could. In light of the explosions in Boston that killed 3 people and injured more than 100 others Monday, the blog began accepting submissions from artists who wanted to donate their tracks in an effort to [...]

Suspect #22s twitter handle is @J_tsar. Here are a sampling of his tweets. To be honest, he seems like an all American kid. Crackin jokes, talkin bout girls, conversing with friends...Very hard to believe this type of kid would do this. I thought I'd find a string of militant ass tweets, but he was on some regular 19 year old shit. Very odd. Breaking Bad taught me how to dispose of a corpse — Jahar (@J_tsar) January 16, 2013 [...]

The Rare Occasions sold me from the first guitar stroke of their "Applefork" EP which has the cadence of the Cranberries and the upbeat attitude of the Strokes. "Battin' Lashes" has the chops with Brian Mclaughlin's charming lead vocals that are seamlessly complimented by bright guitar licks. The rest of the EP shows an affinity for experimenting with rarely mixed genres. "Miss Mary Mack" combines baroque pop and garage with a bit of psych and prog mixed in. The EP came out a short 10 days ago and they're playing at the Middle East next week for a show to [...]

Boston was sent into serious lockdown Friday morning as police, military, and federal agents searched for suspected Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Buses, trains and taxis are not running, businesses are closed, and residents have been urged to stay indoors and lock their doors. It's literally a ghost town. Check out some pictures, via Deadspin , who collected the photos from various social media users.

Nate Bell is a second-term Republican state representative from Arkansas and a life-long NRA member. Friday morning, as Boston was reeling from its chaotic overnight manhunt for the two bombing suspects that resulted in Tamerlan Tsarnaev dead and his little brother Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev still at large , Bell wasted no time in using the mayhem to politicize the issue of gun control. Bell tweeted: I wonder how many Boston liberals spent the night cowering in their homes wishing they had an AR-15 with a hi-capacity magazine? #2A [...]

Boston  As events seem to be coming to some kind of tragic conclusion as I write, the roles of social vs traditional news media are once more under scrutiny. Breaking news through Twitter and Facebook is certainly fast but that speed is acquired by sacrificing context and verification say many. io9 outline some of the ways in which the Twitter activity around the Boston Marathon give us hope that ‘ our social media networks may be maturing into trusted news sources ’. Silver Surfers (again) ‘My social friends want me to tweeter and to [...]

I feel like I'm having slow, sweet, savory sex with Bonobo right now - Anonymous Bonobo is an electronic music icon.  His name has traversed the globe through the interwebs, word of mouf, concerts, and plenty of album reviews.  He's been producing music since before I was old enough to know what electronic music was and in fact, it would be inappropriate for me not to say he's a pioneer of the genre.  Since 1999, Simon Green has been bringing together live instrumentation along chilled driving beats that breathe as they're opened up to the public because, well, [...]

Filed under: News Gino DePinto, AOL Dropkick Murphys are Boston boys from head to toe. So when twin bombings struck their city's annual marathon this past Monday, the band sprung into action. They designed t-shirts, adorned with a simple message and the word "FOR BOSTON," emboldened in royal blue to honor the victims of the blast.

allstonpudding : The events that unfolded on Monday left us at a loss for reaction. There was no way we could spin the situation to make sense of it, and we knew we weren’t alone. As we searched for ways to possibly help, turning to the Boston music scene was a no brainer… [ READ THE REST, AND DOWNLOAD THE MIX TO DONATE ]

Dennis Lehane on the Boston way : When I speak of my love for this city, it will be understood that the love does not come filtered through a soft-focus lens. I’m fully aware of the sins that litter the Hub’s rearview. But I do love this city. I love its atrocious accent, its inferiority complex in terms of New York, its nut-job drivers, the insane logic of its street system. I get a perverse pleasure every time I take the T in the winter and the air-conditioning is on in the subway car, [...]

We couldn't be happier to feature this glistening gem of an EP from Bostonian-by-way-of-Sydney Betty Who . Jess "Betty Who" Newham is a classically trained cellist and songwriter who's quickly establishing herself stateside as a “new auteur of starry-eyed electro-pop.” Prepare for a barrage of impossibly lush backing arrangements and shimmering top-lines in this remarkably confident debut effort from an artist who’s already caught the eye of Pop On And On, Kings of A&R and Billboard. What we love most about this EP is that it finds an elusive [...]
