Think techno is just mindless noise for rich European teenagers strung out on E with nothing to do at 3 am? Think techno cuts deep to the amygdala and triggers the emotions that make everyone human? Think techno is a brand new trend - like "the internets" and "the Facebook" - that all the kids dig, but you just don't get? Think techno is something Bostonist made up just a few short seconds ago? Well, does IFFBoston have the documentary for you. more ›

This past weekend, concertgoers at the Bonnaroo music festival didn't show much love for Kanye West, but they did show a surprising amount of love to the Celtics on that Tennessee cow farm. more ›

--With this winter's especially foul weather, we have entered a new level of pothole hell. [Boston Globe] more ›

Let's take a look back at a week that raised this Zen koan: if Kevin Federline got into a wrestling ring with a wrestler, who would you root for? Austinist was in an entertainment state of mind as they covered the dickens out of the Austin Film Festival, depicted all the Big 12 football coaches as South Park characters, and interviewed Jose Gonzalez. Chicagoist talked about the passion as they bid adieu to Bell's... more ›

Admittedly we’re a little low on the Saturday evening picks for this week. Mostly because we know we’ll still be swigging green beer by the pint – or at least too hung-over from Friday night to make it out to a show. Again this week we’ve put a little classical music for those of you that feel a little culture is good for the soul. Monday 3/13: Dilated Peoples and Little Brother Rakaa, Evidence... more ›

We live in an iTunes nation. It's easy to pull a track down to your pod for under a buck. Bostonist still longs for cover art, liner notes, and that masterwork that is a multi-track collection of songs we call an album. Listed here is our much discussed, unbiased by payola, top 25 albums of 2005. After the jump you'll find where some of us stand individually on the subject of the years best. (Apparently... more ›

Now that the new fall season of reality TV shows has started up, Bostonist feels at home again. After a summer of Rescue Me and Laguna Beach, we are ready to go back to the network stations and their new round of awful (yet enjoyable) reality TV shows. As usual, the city of Boston has spread their seed into the homes of America with a new cast of reality characters. On Wednesday night, Martha Stewart's... more ›

Despite recent surges in population (due to the start of the academic year) and some violent events in the not-too-distant past, Allston has not, in fact, been declared a disaster area (as opposed to New Orleans, shown at right). But these similarities are exactly what makes Boston's own "Rock City" the perfect place to host three nights' worth of benefit shows for Katrina relief and recovery more ›

The New England Patriots are kicking off their regular season tonight against the Oakland Raiders at Gillette Stadium; with a somewhat mediocre pre-season, Coach Belichick and his boys will be taking the field at 9 p.m. to see if they can ultimately bring home a fourth Super Bowl title come this January. The Patriots will not be the only focus at the Razor tonight; New England is playing host to the NFL’s opening game, with... more ›

This Labor Day weekend, Bostonist thought it would be fun to go somewhere where Monday wasn't a holiday. Foolishly, we picked Canada, not realizing that, in fact, they have Labor Day too (although they call it Labour Day). Actually, Sister-in-law Bostonist was starting college in Montreal and we thought it would be fun to have a weekend away and see her off. Notwithstanding some last-minute complications (Mother-in-law Bostonist had the idea that she, too, would see Sister-in-law Bostonist off to college, and elected to stay for the duration of our trip, periodically calling to guilt-trip us for not spending more time with her), it was a lovely trip, and we strongly recommend Montreal for Bostonians who crave a little cosmopolitan foreignness without all that pesky flying-over-big-oceans. more ›

As everyone knows, Bostonist has a soft-spot for Pats QB, Tom Brady, who has been recently in the news for a few things. First off, the bachelor Brady supposedly is engaged to model/actress Bridget Moynahan. According to the gossip column at the Herald, Tom popped the questions while he and Bridget were touring Europe after winning the third Superbowl title. Now of course this hasn't been confirmed by an actual publicist, but Boston women will... more ›

The 47th GRAMMY Awards aired last night on CBS and while Bostonist was hoping for something exciting to happen, like a wardrobe malfunction for example, nothing out of the ordinary really occured. Ray Charles was the big winner with the his collection of duets (completed a few months before his death), "Genius Loves Company" winning Best Album and "Here We Go Again," a duet with songstress Norah Jones, picking up Record of the Year. Charles... more ›
