† FROM DJ PAUL V. This week's mashup is a 'lighters up' moment. Back in the day, I would stare at the flaming guitar spaceship artwork of Boston 's debut album, and get totally lost in the soaring heights of singer Brad Delp 's pipes (RIP).

Sixties nostalgia is a curious thing—make-a one man weep, make another man sing. Tom Scholz—the guitarist/mastermind/evil genius behind Seventies arena rock behemoth Boston—is one of those people for whom the Sixties never quite ended. I mean, yeah, he can see all of us with our turbo rocket backpacks and Martian girlfriends and such, and recognize [...]

Like most guitarists, I've spent most of my years on the planet... searching for the right live sound. I started out with "Heavy Henry"... a home-made tranny. I've owned valve driven Fender Twin Reverb, Orange 80w Overdrive, two Marshalls and two semi-valve driven Marshalls and a Roland tranny. The one that had the best sound out of that lot... was the Orange (but that was the original 70's...

A current claim from Michael Jackson's Wikipedia entry : "In 1989, after his brothers recorded and released the smash hit album 2300 Jackson Street without him, Jackson felt the urge to return to a band setting. He briefly joined BOSTON: unfortunately contractual issues and his inability to adjust to BOSTON bandleader Tom Scholz's personal quirks caused Jackson to leave the band after just a...

Not sure exactly how we spaced on this one, but as always, the Matablog is to roster news what Tom Scholz is to Boston albums. VERY LATE BUT WELL-INTENTIONED. From Brainwashed.com : It may be a bit short to call a tour - a “tourette”, perhaps? - but our European friends will be happy to [...]

That Brandeis committee on closing the Rose Art Museum that swears it's not a total administration sham just happens to agree with everything the administration does. Wow, then, I guess it's OK to fire the museum staff, sell the art...

I'm not really a fan of Boston, the band. Even as a kid, I found that sound so cold and uninviting, as if it had been crafted by a geek in his basement. Which is basically true. But the battles...

Even after the election, Republicans keep finding new ways to use classic rock to spread their messages. In the video above, the Republican Whip, Representative Eric Cantor of Virginia, has borrowed Aerosmith’s “Back in the Saddle” to stress that they are just not that into Barack Obama’s stimulus plan. But while the GOP made it [...]
