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.

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...

Sunday--end your week with Leslie Hall. She's playing the Milky Way in a super-stacked Truth Serum show with Cassette, Robo Sapien, and PAL. Bostonist wants to see Leslie and the LYs live becaue dang, their myspace page is both intriguing and confusing. Who is this hip hop lady? What are these "gold pants" and "gem sweaters"? Oh man.
