Boston Police officer Kim Tavares is using her experiences in 10 years of service to promote a song she wrote and sings called "I Know You’ve Seen It." The song, in turn, allows Tavares to promote awareness about child abuse, bullying and domestic violence. She told Fox 25 on Wednesday that she wrote it after the quadruple killings in Mattapan. Her lesson, simply, is that "People need to stick up for one another." She says it's a hit with the other officers of Area D-4 (South End). According to Tavares' website, she's perfoming Monday at the Ryles Jazz Club on 212 Hampshire Street in Cambridge at 7:30 p.m.

Or something like that? Anyway, the show starts at 9 and it's totally free. A dance party will follow, so put your best foot forward. Hopefully it's not the left.

Trees lounge has gotten 23 states done in the 50 state project. Celebrate your independence my checking out some Massachusetts themed tunes (some of them are pretty borderline on the whole "theme" but we'll cut him some slack for finding 60 songs with MP3s to download)

We’re working for the weekend and it's only Monday. Rainy day outside and the sun is reported MIA until Wednesday.
