Hooray for Earth have a fun weekend away, the Everyday Visuals break the 9-5 barrier, and the Wonderful Spells envision themselves as vampires. Check it!

Every week Bostonist is dedicated to bringing you the most contagious Boston-based viral videos on the internet.
As it gets closer to Halloween for LAist, a contributer recollects her tale of staring down the serial killer, Richard Ramirez, otherwise known as the Night Stalker. Must think happy thoughts -- okay, free organic chocolate chip cookies for Los Angeles -- now that's a happy thought. Other happy Los Angeles thoughts include an interview with Jack Kehler of The Big Lebowski (he was the Dude's landlord), a beautiful and magical photographic moment in Venice...
From the tallest skyscraper in the City of Brotherly Love to Canadian tourism copywriting brilliance, here's what you should know from our -ist cities: This week, Phillyist took a gleeful listen to the White Stripes' exciting new release, watched in awe as their new tallest skyscraper was finally completed, found a cheaper way to get to Gothamist, invented a tasty new dessert, and brought back their Craigslist Round-Up feature with a bang. Bostonist watches...
Zooming in on the South End/Roxbury in Google Maps something interesting showed up: the gentrification line. The high resolution images are in their satellite database for all of Downtown and Back Bay. Most of the South End is included, but once you cross over Mass Ave, into what we generally accept as Roxbury, things aren't quite as clear, they aren't as green either. Back in January the Globe ran a piece called "Breaching Mass...
MLB Gameday is charting the pitches in a little window on our computer monitor. Lucky they sprung for the 19" at work. Maybe someday they'll give us a TV with NESN so we can just watch all the Sox games without wasting all this company bandwith. Dice-K is on the mound for his first regular season start - and it looks like he could stay in through the fifth and have it count as his first MLB game. With all the hype around the city we just can't help but thinking about a certain song from the 80's - here it is, complete with music video:.
The Schlock-Around-the-Clock festival kicks off on Saturday night at the Brattle at 9:30 pm. Bring your jammies - they're going until the next morning. Tickets are $20 for the all-nighter. The Brattle is hosting its very first Schlock-Around-the-Clock this weekend, and, when it comes to schlock, they've set the bar very, very high. You may never see schlock like this all in one place again. Here's the Brattle's lineup: Shanty Tramp (1967) This movie plays...
While all those Midwest folks are placing their bets on the home town team, we'll be sitting tight watching commercials and betting some squares like we just don’t care. Just like we don't care because we don't, the Pats are already out. So we're in it to win it with the boys of summer this year. Pitchers and Catchers report in about two weeks on February 17. Sometime between now and then the equipment truck will load up at Fenway and make its way down to Florida. This Friday Flashback is a music video flashback to Pete Needs a Friend off Universal, one of Bim Skala Bim's later released videos. Watch real close. At the 45 second mark the Bim Skala Bim guys dodge a truck as they're running down Lansdowne. It could very well be the Equipment Truck.
Bostonist has been a fan of the Dresden Dolls for some time now, so we were quite excited when we learned of their collaboration with the ART for a play of sorts called "The Onion Cellar." We finally had a chance to see the performance this week.
Bostonist is by no means immune to the pseudo-historical un-period pieces opening this weekend, Marie Antoinette and The Prestige, or to the less new but equally pretty Illusionist (now at our favorite theater for cheap matinees) and Camille (it's like Moulin Rouge, but with character development). But today we'd like to draw your attention to a documentary about an obscure local band called the Pixies and to the abundance of short film collections being offered...
New Edition and New Kids on the Block arrived on the scene about the same time as MTV, or after the music video station had already become engrained in pop culture. Other Boston bands had been around a lot longer than the music television station. Aerosmith found new success in a younger market when they released Get A Grip. It surged in radio play and with the wild popularity of the music videos. Crazy, Amazing, and Cryin, three videos made from singles off that album, starred Alicia Silverstone (before she was Clueless). They may have been the first set of videos that we remember being overplayed on MTV. But we haven't seen them for a while, until today. We'll wrap up this homage to twenty-five years of MTV by dropping Aerosmith's Amazing below. Be on the look out for the CD caddy used and when the screen flashes "cyberspace entered," young geeks at home wishing their VR set up was that, um, amazing. If you're in the mood for some ass-kicking Alicia watch Cryin. For hot schoolgirl Silverstone check out Crazy.
A music video set on the T. Sure it's not as glamorous as Puff Daddy (when he was still Puff Daddy) rolling on the moving walkways of Chicago's O'Hare. It is, however, our very own transit system, set to music in a amateur style video for the Minor Thirds. Their album Saskatchewan features the dream of one Bostonian who wants to escape the city and go to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. This video for the first track...
In a world where there's nothing to do but watch movies. In a city full of theaters, museums, and libraries. One moviegoer who can be in three places at once. This week's films promise to be festive, well-attended events for their respective niches: Bollywood, science fiction, anime, and self-identified "Brechtian punk cabaret" enthusiasts. Bostonist is especially psyched that Krrish's Massachusetts premiere isn't a day later than its release in India, and that no amount of...
Bostonist was exposed to Boy in Static (Alex Chen) a mere four weeks ago thanks to the wonder of our favorite online photo gallery (and oh so much more) Flickr. Ever since that moment we have been listening to his album on late night drives home to the suburbs, in the lingering hours of a night of studying (yes, some of us are STILL in school), and just generally whenever we get a free moment.
