Bostonist can't quite believe that it's been 15 years since our fair city got itself a rockstar symphony conductor. We remember well when the Keith Craze first sent music fans into a tizzy - the swooning, the squeals, the questions about what the young Keith Lockhart was going to do to the Boston Pops. And here it is, a decade and a half later and Bostonist still under KLo's spell. We've sighed at the sight......

It seems safe to assume that opening night to the 122nd Boston Pops season could be described at least as somewhat of an abnormality. A shout of "Rock This Bitch" doesn't typically ring through the perfect acoustics of Symphony Hall, let alone serve as an acquiesced song request. We've never heard anything about traditional Opening Night audience fistfights. And, with all due respect to those who have sat in with conductor Keith Lockhart and his......

We were starting to worry that the day's music news would contain little but the downright nasty word that Keith Richards cut his father's ashes with cocaine and actually snorted the concoction up his million-years-old nose. Thank you, Boston Globe, for allowing us to turn to a different Keith. A local Keith. A younger Keith. A Keith who, as far as we know, hasn't snorted anyone up his nose. Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops......

Bostonist didn't realize that the news about Keith "I wear leather pants" Lockhart and Ben "I don't wear pants" Folds' Boston Pops partnership was new -- word of the May concert at Symphony Hall has been circulating through Folds fan circles for some time now. But Sarah Rodman's news on Boston.com's Exhibitionist blog today did set our hearts aflutter. With all the early buzz, there was a worry that perhaps tickets had already gone on......

We’re working for the weekend and it's only Monday. Rainy day outside and the sun is reported MIA until Wednesday. Despite the current gloom, things are looking mighty green outside - a good sign of spring. Flowering trees have done their thing and soon we’ll be smelling the lilacs. For now we’re settling for another cup of Stella while we soak up the tunes and the increasing temperatures. Monday 4/24: John Vanderslice mk Ultra......

Here at Bostonist headquarters, the staff may not agree on whether Valentine's Day is legit or whether it is just the creation of a card company to create a profit, (mostly due to the relationship status of the individual), but we do love music and have compiled some suggestions for you and yours on this special day. Find below a few suggestions from our staff for your evening of love, like, or lust. Josh......

Seriously? Bostonist suspects that the earth is safe for geeks at the moment, with the upcoming release of Star Wars 6: Bostonist (a Star Wars virgin, actually) Doesn't Wanna Give Lucas Any More Money. But check the crazy good options for music this weekend. Is there any coincidence to the fact that the geek-rock is out in full force? Friday's actually pretty straightforward--The Good North are playing at Great Scott's The Pill dance-night. A......
