If you look past the fact that the Sox are back at home for their first few games at Fenway this season you'll be able to hear a greater beat on the street. As is often the case there is more good live music going on in town this week than any one person could possibly listen to. Time to clone yourself so you can scoop up a standing room ticket to watch Dice-K...
This weekend both NEMO and the Beantown Jazz festival will be taking place in town. NEMO is a showcase for New England artists, a networking opportunity for the little-known and the big fish.

It's a whole lot to take in,...
If you're not into traveling all the way to the Tweeter Center for Journey and Def Leopard, check out this week's picks. Even if you are into heading down to the big name act's show you'll need something to do the rest of the week. There's no joking about it this week. Fall is here. By the time the weekend hits it's time to break out the cider and make some pumpkin pie. We're saving that for Sunday, however, the rest of the week is for music.
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.
