If you missed the boys this morning, don't miss them this Saturday at Newbury Comics. You can get an autograph and everything! Squee!......

Newbury Comics is opening a new location in Faneuil Hall. The New Kids On The Block are coming out with a new album on Tuesday. What better way to celebrate both than with a highly-regulated album signing? The Kids will be autographing The Block at Newbury at 1:00 p.m. next Saturday, September 6. They will only be signing The Block, so don't bring your NKOTB sleeping bag or pillow expecting them to be adorned.......

Record Store Day Various Newbury Comics Locations: Newbury Street (332 Newbury Street), Harvard Square (36 JFK Street), Government Center (1 Washington Mall), etc. Saturday, April 19 Record Store Day is a nationwide event instituted in honor of the independent record store. In an era when you can get all your music news and reviews from Pitchfork or Stereogum (or Bostonist!) and all your downloads from the torrent site of your choice, what's the use of......

Boston, you did Kimya Dawson right on Thursday night. So right, in fact, that we can't even tell you about it. Bostonist had fully intended to be able to report back to you today about how Dawson, the quirky and kickass singer-songwriter now captivating music fans with her work on the Juno soundtrack, performed during her 7 p.m. in-store at the Newbury Street music shop. We arrived on the scene a little later than we'd......

Music Kimya Dawson has long been one of those buried indie-rock treasures, at least until the release of Juno. The former member of the Moldy Peaches and avid livejournal diarist contributes a large part of the soundtrack, and stars Ellen Page and Michael Cera cover one of her songs, "Anyone Else But You." In fact, Page suggested that Dawson be on the soundtrack since she felt Juno would be a Moldy Peaches fan. Bostonist......

While it might not seem possible judging from the creaky antics of bands like the Rolling Stones, there are some rock musicians who age well. Exhibit A would be Mission of Burma. Exhibit B would be Kristin Hersh, who will be performing at Newbury Comics on Newbury Street at 6:00 pm tonight. Hersh's new record, Learn to Sing Like a Star, out on Yep Roc, is the latest in her 20-year career. Hersh, along with......

In case you haven't heard the next week promises to show us the winter we've been missing out – only minus the snow. Cold temperatures (below freezing every day!) will be the rule according to the current outlook. Perfect time to head out to your favorite music venue. There's no better way we can think of to stay warm. This week you'll find the old, the new, the nerd, and some classical among the......

Even though yesterday was November 1, Halloween lasted an extra day on Newbury Street as teens and college kids gathered dressed as rap-icon-turned-reality-tv-star Flavor Flav. Flav, who is known for wearing Viking horns, outlandish shades, and a clock around his neck, was scheduled to visit Newbury Comics to sign autographs and promote his new solo record, Hollywood. These days, more people know Flav for his hot-tub shenanigans on VH1's Flavor of Love than for his......

Okay, like Bostonist, you’ve seen a few of the recent Boston performances by Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand, Radio 4, and/or !!!/Out Hud, and love most of the post-punk revival bands, right? (If not, we’ll forgive you for skipping over this post). And as for the early ‘80s groups whose angular, dance rock sound today’s bands are reviving (or sometimes merely deriving), well, damn, you can name check with the best of ‘em. Gang of Four,......

Bostonist has been infatuated with China lately. It all started when baby Shanghaiist came into the family and started using a English vocabulary in a way that made us jealous. In July they took us on a trip to audio wonderland featuring the top 25 albums so far in ought-five. Today (even though they posted it today when today was still in our yesterday) Shanghaiist lays the beat down for the top 25 albums at......

Native Canadians The Dears are coming to Boston and will perform live at The Paradise on June 12, 2005. Bostonist wants you, dear reader, to get into the show free! Ok, you and a guest. A pair of passes will be awarded to the winner. Follow this link to enter. Bostonist has also been told that The Dears have teamed up with Newbury Comics and will perform an acoustic set at 4 p.m. June 12......

Admittedly, Bostonist should tell you about tonight's Kathleen Edwards show at the Paradise. She's a Canadian variation of the venerable Lucinda Williams and she has a knack for writing hard-luck songs--Bostonist's personal favorite, "Westby", is a scathing Lolita track with a snotty chorus: "If you weren't so old I'd probably keep you/ If you weren't so old I'd tell my friends/ But I don't think your wife would like my friends." Catty! She's country,......
