BLOWFISH SAYS....
No more weeping for me. One of my favorite groups is back - The Crybabies. Leader Artie has a great new crew including Richee Johnson (Boize) on drums. Now, there are two strong guitarists: Danny McCormack and Steve Aquino. The new members bring a more muscular sound. They have included some old favorites but had mostly new songs. I'm assuming there were many covers but they were obscure (even for me) and no one was talking about where the songs came from. One gets a sense that they will build on to what they have and time will make them even better. They managed to get the small crowd dancing and even Artie was doing some James Brown style sliding around on stage!
Saturday afternoon we headed on over to the Rock'n'Roll Yard Sale in Union Square Somerville! and as promised there were a large number of varied sellers, much more than last year in fact, offering great music-related stuff as well as handmade DIY Art & Crafts along with lots of vinyl records & compact discs, silk-screened Posters t-shirts, vintage & locally designed clothing & accessories eyeglasses, jewelry, handmade cards & prints, some things that really stuck out were
Vagabond Jewelry rings and necklaces and bracelets made out of recycled materials like bike spokes, steel and gorgeous unusual copper ...just fabulous stuff...check out the site and find out where they are showing next, this stuff begs to be seen in person...
also Fusion Ethos Fashion...she has jewelry also out of recycled items like measuring tape, computer keys, popcorn, beer bottle caps etc...very cool!!...
