Bostonist has been tangentially aware and thoroughly admiring of Jessica Hopper's writing since college and discovered that, among other things, Hopper was publishing the funny-as-hell Hit It Or Quit It music zine and writing a column in Punk Planet, alongside reading tour-mate Al Burian. Hopper's on the up and up and last year, her fantastic essay "Emo: Where The Girls Aren't" was featured in Da Capo's Best Music Writing 2004. Her byline is featured in a bunch of publications, and when she's not writing about The Mountain Goats and The Hold Steady, she's summing it all up on her hilarious blog. Hopper and Burian--Bostonist is, admittedly, less familiar with his work--are touring around New England today and tomorrow and tonight you can find them at The Dirt Palace in Providence at 7:30 PM, whereas tomorrow they'll be reading at Flywheel in Easthampton at 8PM. They promise that it will be a battle of good vs. evil and it's going to kick ass.
