There are a few songs in history that might be worth $22,500 apiece. "Thriller," "Yesterday," "Layla," "Stairway to Heaven." "Come As You Are" might even make it into the group. But "The Perfect Drug," much as we love(d) NIN, does not. So it's extremely unfortunate that a jury recently ordered a BU doctoral student to pay $675,000 for downloading and sharing 30 specific songs, including the aforementioned Nirvana and Nine Inch Nails tunes.

With their self-titled debut, Hooray For Earth sought a middle ground between Nine Inch Nail’s industrial thrash and the grunge force of Nirvana’s guitars. The guitars dropped low, the sythns soared high and singer Noel Heroux’s voice claimed the milieu, double-tracked for that Elliot Smith sheen. With their follow up Cellphone EP, they captured the sounds of an exploding star with more focus on swirling, subterranean guitar textures and decidedly celestial synth tones.

The state of the sidewalks around Boston kept us on our asses this weekend. Not so much of the figurative kind where we sat at home and skipped a show because it was too hard to get around. No, more the literal kind where we kept falling down because of that damn 2" layer of ice that was pretty much everywhere. This week they tell us that the temperature is rising by week's end....

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...

Neophyte British imports, The Subways, played Great Scott Saturday, December 3rd as Session #10 in the Fenway Recordings series, making a massive impact with their 3-piece barrage. With no more than 160kg (350 lbs.) shared between the band’s 3 members, The Subways impressed the packed house with maximum levels of energy and volume, thanks to the science of amplification and the miracle of sheer will. Guitarist/singer Billy Lunn was already standing on the kick drum midway through the band’s first song of the night.

Bostonist will check out the much-hyped (UK: festival appearances/ US: The OC appearance), small-town band The Subways from Britain trying to make the world their garage in the young group’s first stateside tour. Forgoing current angular, dance rock motifs (Franz Ferdinand) and pre-empting the American arrival of their debut album Young for Eternity with a live serving of one-foot-in-the-gutter three-piece pop in Allston, The Subways will face the gauntlet set by a city ravenously devouring the likes of Broken Social Scene, My Morning Jacket, and Franz Ferdinand of late. The live show should flesh out glimpses of Nirvana and Oasis seen on their debut, and, in the hopes of Bostonist, offer more than The Vines.

In a blink of the eye, the Nemo Showcase is upon us. We figure there's no better way to kick things off than with an interview. Bostonist caught up with Morning Theft, a NYC-based band with strong Boston roots. They join the Nemo Showcase, playing tonight at TT the Bear's as part of the Lunch Records line up.
