Combining a cozy subterranean venue (the Lizard Lounge, under the Cambridge Common restaurant at 1667 Mass. Ave.), a negligible cover ($8), and an impeccably-curated......

Bostonist has always had a thing for the slow cover: sometimes it takes a sparse, creeping rendition of a familiar song to make us keep pace with every word of the lyrics that used to walk on by. The Last Town Chorus's version of "Modern Love" is one of those, distilling David Bowie's deceptively bouncy pop to a stubborn, viscous anthem. (You can watch the video here, but we prefer the mp3 straight up.) Megan......

Wait, wasn't that whole "Flash mob" trend supposed to encourage completely spontaneous events that prompted hordes of people to gather at random places and then suddenly go away? Well, the Flash mob trend, which Harpers called "the most forgettable hipster fad of the past five years" persists as a marketing tool for Cingular and Sony Ericsson, and, if you're a Von Bondies fan, you'll get a free concert tonight at the Paradise. The whole......

The sad news this weekend was that The Littlest Bar had finally been forced to close it's doors at the current location. After months and months of wait and see it appears the Abbey Group has finally begun the push for action to construct condo's on top of what was once the Littlest footprint. We've been heading every now and again since we heard about the initial threats of closure. Owner Paddy Grace told us......

Elitist liberal that we are, Bostonist likes foreign movies (or "films," as one ought refer to such artsy fare). Sure, there are plenty of bad ones, as anyone who has watched Telemundo on a weekend afternoon knows, but for some reason, the ones that find their way to US theaters tend to be a little better than average. That goes double for films shown at the library, so we are very excited about the ongoing......
