A metal band from Athol filed a complaint with the Massachusetts Commission of Discrimination, the Worcester Telegram & Gazette reports. Members of the band, Necronomichrist (say that 10 times fast!), were upset because the city's Skate Park Committee said the band couldn't perform a fundraiser.

When it snows in Boston, the rule is clear--you don't park in a spot that another person has shoveled out. The Mayor's Office backs this up:

BARONESS Friday, November 30th Middle East Downstairs Cambridge, MA w/ Witchcraft, Radio Moscow 18+ / $10 ADV / $12 DOS MySpace: Baroness The debut EP First by Savannah's Baroness was a bit of al ife-changer. More of a life-reinvigorator. Produced by Phillip Cope of Kylesa, the three tracks harnessed much that had been missing from the blend of technical metal with a heavy dose of stoner meticulousity.

A weekend stand of winning baseball at home when the Sox take it to the Angels followed by the all day boozy spectator sport that is the Boston Marathon it's going to be a long week.

The truth remains, though, that Summerteeth isn’t all sunshine, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot isn’t all stuttering electronics and cynicism, and 2004’s A Ghost Is Born retains a classic rock feel for many of the tracks. Tweedy’s has been a uniquely-inspired, self-challenging voice in music, and his solo show reflected this eclecticism while emphasizing the great songwriting beneath each direction his career has taken.
