MGMT loves karaoke, or, "How to ruin your catchiest song"
By webteam

They also like kittens, apparently.

We’ve seen the Brooklyn-based band Yeasayer live at Great Scott before (see our previous, gushing post), so we thought we knew what to expect at Tuesday night’s gig at the same venue, with MGMT. WXPN’s World Café recently described Yeasayer as purveyors of “haunted robotic gospel” music, and that seems totally on target.

Tonight: Say goodbye to the Dead Trees
By Caitlin E. Curran

We never knew Noah was so flexible.

Every time a Boston band moves away (one of the good ones, anyway) one of the Pixies drops dead. Or something like that. From the Dead Trees’ MySpace:

"Although we've had some good times here, The Dead Trees will be moving to Portland, OR, sometime in the coming months.

GIRL TALK IN A JAM
By Caitlin E. Curran

From Girl Talk, via his MySpace blog:

On Wednesday, I had a show in Boston opening up for Widespread Panic. I had never heard this band before, but I knew they were in genre of "jam band." I don't know anything about the jam scene really, which is part of the reason why I wanted to do the show. I knew it was going to be weird, which I guess was also part of the allure of doing it.
