If being a Celtics Dancer has always been your dream, you'll have to wait until next year to achieve it. The franchise picked its new girls last night at the Roxy, selecting 17 dancers out of 39 finalists (who had been whittled down from 200 initial candidates). The Globe and the Celtics Dancers both have photo galleries for those who want to learn some moves--or, more likely, get some fashion ideas--for next year. We kind of wish the Celtics Dancers had a better team name--like, the Leprechaun(ette?)s, Pots of Gold, or Lucky Charms. Do you have any brilliant name ideas for these lovely ladies?

             

When Bostonist spoke with Louden Noxious, Kaiju Big Battel's live announcer, we developed an inkling of what was in store for us at the New and Improved Boston Massacre May 10, at the Roxy. But the spectacle itself happily exceeded our expectations.

As the saying goes April showers bring May flowers. We're willing to subscribe with that theory. April looks to be a bit soggy for us in the beginning, especially considering the current seven day forecast. That means that frolicking in the outdoors will be limited and heading into the haven of the local rock haunts will be plentiful. Lucky this week provides a host of great shows around the Boston area. Included this week is the Shoot the Moon residency at Abbey Lounge. Another one of those wonderful local bands we first heard while tuning into Exploit Boston Radio.

Enough music to rock because you're happy or rock because you're sad. No matter if the candidate you were supporting won or lost you can find solace in the upbeat or comfort in the emo.

Why ramble? We've got shows to get out and see. We could put up a whole narrative about the state we were left in after NEMO and BeanTown Jazz swept through this weekend. But not now. Monday 10/2 Built to Spill with Helvetia Built to Spill delivers Indie Rock from when they first hit our radar on college radio and they actually were an indie band. They've been with Warner Bros. for what seems...

We’re working for the weekend and it's only Monday. Rainy day outside and the sun is reported MIA until Wednesday. Despite the current gloom, things are looking mighty green outside - a good sign of spring. Flowering trees have done their thing and soon we’ll be smelling the lilacs. For now we’re settling for another cup of Stella while we soak up the tunes and the increasing temperatures. Monday 4/24: John Vanderslice mk Ultra...

Tuesday 4/11

We'll call it hit or miss. Some weeks are totally on and our agenda's are filled to the brim with great stuff. Some weeks we're pulling together a bunch of shows and thinking that the list of "go see" music is surprisingly spare. Just like the weather is wonderful an warm some weeks and gloomy others. This week we've collected a number of selections that will bring some sunshine to your gloomy day - or...

Just in case the 106th annual St. Patty’s Day parade doesn’t satisfy your thirst for Irish fun, join Bostonist on March 16th for the Saw Doctors show. With the Dropkick Murphys show sold out, Bostonians can head over the Roxy on Thursday to get their energetic Irish fix by a group of pure-blooded blokes.

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....

The band alternates between a number of different instruments (acordion, violin, keyboards, big ole drum, tamborines, guitars, etc.) that gives their live performance a constant stream of energy. Their songs with soaring choruses came over great in the Roxy's acoustics. Living up to the expectations is a challenge, but the Arcade Fire pulled it off and everyone was smiling after the encore.
