HEARTHROB Tuesday, December 4th Middlesex Lounge 315 Massachusetts Ave. Cambridge, MA 9pm / 21+ / FREE w/ special guests: Peppermint Twinz (Christopher Wade + Initiales A.A.) It's surprising that a dance night like Hearthrob could be so successful considering it has hardly more than a MySpace page and does little to no promotion. The reigning master of such success is still word-of-mouth, and that is something that the three New England-based DJs have built...

w/ Hearthrob DJs

Since daylight savings time kicked it's been hard to get a good nights sleep. Up too late, and up again the next day too early. This week promises to keep us in that very same groove with a list of great music coming to Boston. Who needs sleep anyway? Don't forget to give your support to Exploit Boston Radio, they've got their fingers crossed that Congress and their favor of big label music will be beaten. Listen up for hot local tunes.

Just turning 1 1/2 years old, local power trio The Vital Might are releasing their debut album on their own Let’s Get Awesome label. Obsidian is heavy-laden with guitars and forceful percussion, plus a smattering of psychedelia and dance-rock. Lyrical imagery ranges from black birds over black oceans to mundane T rides into town, delivered in modern-rock vocals and staccato choruses. Morphine's Dana Colley plays saxophone on one of the more contemplative tracks.

Bostonist has a love for things that are a little quirky. Michel Gondry is a quirky, and we love him for it. The winner of the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (which he co-wrote and directed) will be at MIT this evening for a presentation. Bostonist has to admit it wasn’t until the second time that we watched "Eternal…" that we really understood what was going on, or why Frodo was there, but when we understood and we loved it. Professor Fredo Durand will engage Gondry in a discussion about his work. Gondry has done movies, commercials and music videos, and collaborated with all sorts of folks including Massive Attack and Bjork. We’ve been hip on Bjork lately, Bostonist wants to let you know Gondry directed several of her music videos, most of which played on MTV when they actually played videos. Professor Durand is a professor of computer science with a specialty in computer graphics but he looks pretty hip.
