I didn't have the cash for a Boston Calling ticket, but White Denim is playing an after-party in Cambridge on Saturday night. I'm thinking about heading over there to see them play.

I'm really looking forward to Robert Plant's new album, which will be out September 9th. I don't consider myself one of those people that listens to classic rock exclusively, and I never had a "Led Zepplin phase", but Robert Plant's solo work lately has been really excellent. His new single "Rainbow" is damn…

"Last week, one of my French roommates staggered home around 3 AM covered in blood"

How is it? I just dropped about $65 on new books, but when I turned to leave the bookstore I saw her new one and kicked myself for not buying it.

This guy was a dear friend of mine at one point and I still care about him, but he's fallen pretty far down the hipster rabbit hole. The…
