Peter Berdovsky--VJ, artist, and one of the men behind last year's "Mooninite Menace"--and the city of Boston better learn to live with each other because Berdovsky isn't going away anytime soon.

This is probably like preaching to the choir because of course all Bostonist readers promptly shovel their sidewalks. But, in light of City Councilor Chuck Turner's claim that he wasn't going to shovel his sidewalk because people in his neighborhood didn't walk on them (!!!), it's even more important to shovel because the disabled are having a hard time getting around.

Last week the Boston Globe reported that a discovery had been made at the MFA. They had a Vincent van Gogh painting in their possession that they never knew about. Unfortunately it wasn't just sitting around in the basement or tucked in a closet it was literally buried underneath another painting in the museum. According to the report: " Now a conservator at the Museum of Fine Arts has discovered the lost painting, but museum...

It doesn't feel like July 4 is right around the corner - we're still busily settling into summer mode. But the Boston Pops are busily putting together the details for the annual Boston's 4th of July festivities, and on Thursday it was announced that this year's extravaganza is scheduled to feature some straight-up, blue-jeans, heartland-croonin' Americana. John Mellencamp is slated to share the stage with Keith Lockhart, the Pops and whomever will be selected as...

Some time ago some smart-aleck in LA created a little app that stripped LAist of their first person plural pronouns and stuck the "I" and "me" into their writing.

We are, after all, a collaboration of several minds in Boston posting little snippets of life and items...

Bostonist loves the fact that the Boston Globe has employed a full time arts writer to blog for them several times a day. Geoff Edgers has been doing a good job with Exhibitionist, even if they don't have comments open on the site. Today we caught a piece where Edgers points out the PORT's most pretentious art writing contest. Hilarious. There's enough pretentious art writing on the Internets for everyone to have too much of it. While it's fun to look at pretentious musings on the internets in other parts of the country it may be more fun to look at the interactive contests. Take Boston Sports Media Watch's write-like-Dan contest that challenges readers to write Dan Shaughnessy's column about the Mets match up with the Sox before he does. The world of the comic strip never fails to entertain. If Zippy and Family Circus are the cup of tea that keeps you caffeinated all afternoon might we suggest that you go check out someone who will point out the daily shortcomings and oddities that are arguably more amusing that the actual comics. Joshreads.com, or the Comics Curmudgeon as he's called, will bring you running satirical comments on every comic included in the Herald and Globe – and even those that aren’t. Expect regular appearances from the Apartment 3-G crowd and especially the Family Circus.

We asked the new voice on the Boston Arts blogging scene a few questions on how he got Morrissey Blvd. to lend him a corner of the web, and what he thought of the other characters in the local arts blog scene. Full wrap up follows after the jump.
