Update: Gintautas Dumcius at the Dorchester Reporter was also early to the Yakovleff story and covers the reaction in the Tuttle Street neighborhood where Yakovleff died.
Yes, Bostonist is a tad tardy in posting this week's webcast review. We could blame it on being overworked. We could blame it on sheer laziness. But, the truth is simply that we weren't looking forward to writing this review. However, it is not only our duty to help you locate good 'casts to fill your iPod, it is also our duty to steer you away from ones that will occupy otherwise useful storage space. This week we review one of the latter: Queer as Folkyboy.
Usually we try to wax poetic about some sort of relevant piece of information. This week we're dropping all that fluff and jumping right into this week's set of picks – lots of good shows on tap for this week. Zydeco to classical, hip hop to electronica, and Bon Jovi. Monday 7/24: Wattstax with Eli "Paperboy" Reed & the True Loves Allston's Paperboy plays an opening revue for a screening of Wattstax, a film...
San Francisco is proud host of a new reality show called "How to Get the Guy" that's unfortunately not a descendant of Will and Grace, Queer Eye, The L Word, American Idol etc. Also a biodefence lab is coming to the East Bay and SFist teaches wine pairing. Getting on the wrong train sucks. Getting on the wrong train and becoming the victim of what will later be described as a "stabbing spree" really sucks....
Bostonist loves it when a cartoon show will animate a real life Bostonian and weave them into their plot line. Tom Brady has already been featured on “The Simpsons” and most recently, “The Family Guy." Besides that awful episode of “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy”, the Red Sox haven’t been featured on many non-sports related television shows. Well, this morning WGBH changed all that by having a few Sox players from past and present turn into somewhat freaky cartoon versions of themselves on the kids’ show “Arthur.” Johnny Damon, Mike Timlin, and Edgar Renteria all leant their voices and likeness to three animated creatures who play baseball for a team called the Grebes. Damon is a bear named Playmon, Timlin is a deer named Winlin, and Renteria is also a bear named Bateria. (Can we all appreciate the double entendre that WGBH has created, please?) Of course, the Grebes help Arthur and his team win their first championship since 1918. And the strangest part of it all? The animal versions of the Sox players truly resemble them; Winlin's scruffy goatee makes him even more believable as Timlin.
A few weeks ago, a story that Kevin Millar was going to be made over by the Fab 5 from "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" surfaced and now it appears to have been true...and he's not alone in wanting to get in touch with his feminine side. The Bravo show arrived in Florida today to begin their transformation of six of the World Champion Idiots of Fenway Park. Millar has been joined by fellow...
News last week is that the Big Dig was getting closer to completion, albeit a little leaky. The fourth lane will be added to the Zakim Bridge, a new tunnel configuration will be implemented, and the southbound Congress street onramp will be opened. The Rose Kennedy park in the North End will also begin construction as soon as the weather permits.
