“WHAT is this strummy SH-T!?” The year was 2005. Gay cowboys made us cry, Razr phones were the BEST, and in New York the Mets were finally winning again. It was good to be alive. That fall, a young and fiery Bart Clareman had moved home to New York City where he thought everyone at [...]
Spring is a time of rebirth (side note: can we please start calling the second semester of the school year here the “Spring” semester rather than “Winter”? Spring: Rebirth :: Winter: Death). The days grow longer. The temperature warms up. Seasonal affected depression rates go down. There’s a lot happening. Among these many goings-on in [...]

I’d love to be a fly on the wall when The Killers first start discussing a new album. Imagine the tension in the room as Ronnie Vannucci, Dave Keuning, and Mark Stoermer wait for lead singer and principle songwriter Brandon Flowers to arrive! “What do you think it’ll be this time,” one must ask the [...]
1) “LE7ELS” by Avicii Oh, sometimes I get a good feeling. I get a feeling that Avicii’s monster hit, “LE7ELS”, is absolutely the club song of the year. It’s been sampled, mashed up, recut and replayed with several major artists ranging from David Guetta to Flo Rida. LE7ELS even appeared in the Bud Light Platinum [...]

This month’s mixtape spans the genre gamut from electrofunk to alt-country to trip-hop and includes representation from exotic international locales such as Canada, the UK, Australia, and France (okay, I guess they’re not that exotic).

This coming month has a whole new batch of great concerts, and from the looks of it, I’m going to be spending almost as much time at the Paradise Rock Club in October as I will be in Aldrich. Check out http://bit.ly/HarbusMixtapeOct to listen to curated mixtape [...]

Ah, September. With the end of summer comes the beginning of school, with the beginning of school comes the flood of students, and with the flood of students comes the throng of bands hoping to capture the ticket, t-shirt, and ‘Gansett revenues that a trip to Beantown promises. A number of fantastic artists are [...]

“Last weekend saw the official debut of the biggest and baddest rock band to come out of HBS – Hostile Takeover. The band played a 2-hour gig at a sold-out Tommy Doyle’s, and covered a range of songs from artists such as The Killers, Bruce Springsteen and Guns N’ Roses. The view from the audience [...]
