Boston Declares Mission of Burma Day

We're not shy about expressing our gawking admiration for Mission of Burma, the best rock band ever to come from Boston, and we were geeked to see that city councilor John Tobin feels the same way. In recognition of the release of The Sound the Speed the Light, the band's fifth studio recording, Tobin passed a resolution naming October 4, 2009 Mission of Burma Day in the city of Boston. See the declaration above and bust out your copy of Vs. this Sunday morning. Or, better yet, hoof it across the river to Cambridge, where the band will be playing a free show at MIT.
