    Well it felt like a snazzy cocktail hour on Christmas Day over at Johnny D's with DJ Razz "spinning" some tunes. And he accompanied it with a three hour slide show of vintage images...cool shots of families, cars, mid-western houses, hip party goers, book covers, LP Covers...lots of fun....head over on New Year's Day (8-Midnight) too!!......
    Now coming up .......TT's on the 30th looks interesting with their "Dry Run to NYE" with a variety of performers through the evening: films, video, spoken word etc.....

......also on the 7th is Fox Pass at The BeachComber in Quincy MA. They go on at 9pm. They also have a video up on You Tube which is a good chance to hear one of their songs from their latest CD...Hurry Cherrie video.
    And on the Saturday the 8th Eric Martin & The Illyrian's are at The Plough...
Another line up that could be very interesting is at O'Brien's on Friday, January 14th is The F.U's with Rampant Decay and a special set with Rico Petroleum with Psycho!!

    Pretty much guaranteed to be an incredible show; on January 29 is The Konks, The Tampoffs, Tunnel of Love and Triple Thick at Great Scotts ...wow that is one hell of a line up and I think this may very well be The Konks final show.....a sad thought!!

    Armageddon Shop, the fantastic Providence RI record store, is now open in Harvard Square at the former site of Twisted Village.
