Punk's Not Dead is showing at the Brattle Theatre through the weekend and on Monday. Check the theater's website for showtimes. The documentary Punk's Not Dead has so much to say and so clearly loves the music of the punk movement. Its passion for the subject matter blinds the filmmakers, though, and the movie loses focus, splitting apart into different fragments, suggesting that it would have been better as a PBS series or a shorter......

Weeks of anticipation of Condoleezza Rice's address to the graduates of Boston College have left us wondering if she would or if she wouldn't. She did, and it worked out fine. There is difficulty in standing alone against a public figure – 50 Boston College seniors stood with their backs against Condi as she began the keynote address to the graduates. The rest of the class and much of the audience stood in a standing......

This week we're trying hard to think about something other than how hard it is out here to be a pimp. Well, ok, maybe Bostonist is looking at the Oscars and just scratching our heads. We didn't know Jon Stewart could be that bland. We're still waiting to hear what Three 6 Mafia were wearing that made the camera all jakey last night. Now that we're done with the Academy we're looking back to Grammy.......

Forecast is for sun to out during the day most days this week. The temperature may be dipping a bit. Clear skies in February usually mean cold nights. Bostonist will be keeping warm with other music fans at some great shows this week. Phil (the groundhog) may have seen his shadow, making for 6 more weeks of winter, but these six weeks should sizzle with sound. More good shows coming up from now through March.......

The BC is a student production from Boston College about a rough kid from Boston University who ends up at BC. This webcast has what many webcasts stay away from such as acting, writing, and editing. Most don't want to such a large amount of time taken up in post production. That is why so many webcasts are interview shows, how to shows, or even just shows talking about the news. The BC is hopefully......

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......

Bostonist lost all faith in winter ever ending, so we're trying a new strategy. We're welcoming what's left of winter with open arms. Which is why we're happy Matt Pond PA is in town tonight. Forget that it's a college show (Chums at Brandeis) or that the band has been getting serious soundtrack time on the OC. They are not another Killers clone. These kids like nature. They play cello. And they can write......
