--More on the murder of a man at King Arthur's Lounge on Thursday: The shooting may have been the result of a gang rivalry, but the shooters and the victim were in the strip joint together for two hours, just coexisting, before the violence erupted. O'Ryan Johnson reports that the victim used to be with the Latin Kings. [Boston Herald] --Police have arrested a woman in connection with the hit-and-run death of George Azarian, who......

Bostonist is still feeling the egg nog. Therefore, the following magazine cover featuring Bill Belichick hit us hard. Enjoy it in all its glory: Wow. How did Sports Illustrated know that we already envisioned a hoodie-clad Belichick commandeering a sleigh in "'Twas the Night Before Christmas (Redux Remix)"? Also, keep checking Bostonist, where we'll be gazing back on the sports highlights, not to mention a few lowlights, for the year. The list of disappointments, starring......

Yet another way to realize the complete 180 undertaken by our local basketball organization presents itself to us today. Not only are some of us trudging back to work after a holiday break, but we also must accept that we're going to be bleary-eyed for the rest of the week. The reason? The Celts are on a road trip out West. Four games between now and Dec. 30, with three in Pacific Time and one......

Boston Celtic Kendrick Perkins might miss today's game against the Sacramento Kings because a bed attacked his toe. No kidding. Even the AP just let Perkins tell the story of the headboard that tried to take his toe: I was asleep. I guess whoever put my bed together didn't put it together right when I moved, so one side of my bed fell. My bed was tilted, so I got out of my bed to......

Well, if your game against Tampa Bay gets upgraded to "must-win" status, you had better make sure Tim Wakefield is on the mound. Wake owns the Devil Rays. And Wake, last night, handcuffed, bound, gagged and threw the Rays into the river, giving up only two hits in an eight-inning masterpiece. The Red Sox' home run boycott continued, but they did give Tim more than enough run support. David Ortiz doubled in the first run,......

You had to be made of stone, or the world's most jaded individual, to watch yesterday's Celtics press conference and not believe that things are going to change 'round here in a hurry. New Celtic Kevin Garnett, along with veteran Paul Pierce and fairly new Celtic Ray Allen, told the media and the world that he's happy to be here, he's thrilled to be with two veterans and All-Stars, and he's a Red Sox fan......

--We don't always put fires on the blotter, but a firefighter had bad luck during a Dumpster fire at Boston College early this morning. However, it wasn't fire that hurt the firefighter – it was his department's own truck! The Newton Fire Department arrived to fight the blaze. The BC Heights reports, "While the fire truck was powering the pumps, the vehicle lurched forward, running over the injured firefighter. The truck broke through the fence......

For a brief moment at Avalon Monday night, Bostonist felt like we'd been transported to 1964. Flanked on both sides by an eight piece, horn-fueled band, a young woman and her towering bee hive took the mic in front of a simple back drop strung with twinkling lights. Two male back-up singers, elegantly suited-up, began moving in unison. But this ain't no lame Motown review featuring tired, retro-dance moves. This is Amy "believe the hype"......

Last night, the Garden saw some serious ugly. After winning a few, Celtics fans had cause for optimism. However, they were facing the Houston Rockets, fifth in the West and fully stocked with Yao Ming. Even though the Rockets didn't exactly deliver a pitch-perfect performance, the Celtics collapsed quickly and never caught up. The final score was 111 to 80, and the Rockets made 15 three-pointers. The performance was so bad that we thought we......

The Celtics lost to the Kings 104 to 101. They had no business losing. After some good luck with beating the Bucks and Gerald Green's victory at the All-Star Slam Dunk contest, the Celtics were coming into their game with the Sacramento Kings with a little momentum. They had a shot, as the Kings are low on the totem pole in the West, and they have a major dose of crazy since Ron Artest sprouted......

It was about 7:30pm yesterday when the sky started getting dark. It may have been clouds that would bring in some overnight rain. Or maybe it was just a sign that summer is starting to wind down. The season of outdoor shows is starting to wind down and things will begin to move back indoors. Some of the best music in town this week will get you inside, even if there is still a......

Since there isn't much going on in the news today (aside from the horrible mixup in West Virginia), Bostonist thought we'd toss some random news your way. Ex-Sox Player Onto Bigger and Better Things? Mo Vaughn is coming back to Boston but not in a Red Sox uniform. The former heavy hitter, who retired from baseball in 2003, has been given the green light to proceed with opening his own high-end car wash on Route......

Well, Christmas is behind us (unless you are a serious twelve-days celebrator or from a country or culture that puts more emphasis on Kings Day (is that how you say it in English? Bostonist knows it as Día de Reyes from our days as BuenosAiresist)). (Also, if (like this Bostonist) you're not Christian, Christmas is, technically, behind you, but you don't care at all.) Now the portion of the year begins where cold weather progressively......

We know you are excited, we have renamed "Upcoming Music Events and Concerts" the Breakdown (at least for the time being). So here it is, the second installment of must-see gigs for the weekend, next week, and in the future. Please let us know if you have any suggestions for events that you want people to hear about that don't manage to make it on the Bostonist radar - just shoot us an e-mail......

Sure. That and a pair of testicles. Lace up your bowling shoes! Tonight Coolidge Corner Theater is having a screening of the oddball Coen Brothers' bowling hit The Big Lebowski. It's a nine dollar entrance fee, unfortunately that doesn't come with a White Russian, but there will be a pre-screening bowling match, along with Lebowski trivia and Lewbowski themed rewards for the best bowling shirt in the crowd. Expect to see some interesting folks at......
