A few people have asked me how my trip to Boston went, and that is a difficult questions to answer succinctly and in a satisfying manner in a way that doesn’t take up much time. So here I am… I think I got a concussion. This is of course a retrospective and speculative diagnosis. Retrospeculative?…
The other new song recorded by Paul, Ringo and George based off of a demo from John for Antholgy, this was the band’s first single (of new material) in over two decades. Of course it was a hit. This demo was less complete than “Real Love” which meant the others had much more work to…
Written by Lennon-McCartney, “If You’ve Got Trouble” was meant to be included on Help! the song didn’t pass muster and was ultimately shelved until it was dusted off for Anthology. This was meant to be Ringo’s vocal turn on the album, but feeling it didn’t quite work out the band would later go on to…
One of the two songs recorded by Paul, George and Ringo based on one of John’s demo tapes during the Anthology project in 1995 and released as a single. What is astounding to me is that George Martin did not produce this (along with “Free As A Bird”) but Harrison’s friend and fellow Traveling Willbury…
I have discussed this band a lot over the years and wasn’t going to say anything else but a new wrinkle in my relationship with the band came up and I had to post about it. First up is the new album, the band’s first in 7 years. While We’re At It is a great…

Dear Joe, Tim, Joe, Ben, Chris, Lawrence, John, Kevin and Dickey (along with Nate, Tim, Josh, and others I am forgetting), Thank you. The Mighty Mighty Bosstones has been an important band in my life for a long time. I have blogged about my association with the band and music several times over the last…
This year’s Penny Arcade Expo was different for me, as I wasn’t on the media list. I purchased tickets when they went on sale and was able to spend more time going to the show with my kids rather than working and trying to see everything for coverage. That said, there are some things I…
I am taking this idea from Dawn, who took the idea from somebody else who took the idea from somebody else. “Sarah specified just a few rules: 1) Be sure to note your first concert. 2) Bands you’ve seen as openers or as part of festivals count, but try to come up with 50 headliners…
This is a bit of a long post. You can skip to the last three paragraphs if you want to get to the point of the whole thing. I think I’ve seen The Mighty Mighty Bosstones 8 times. The more I see the band and listen to their music the more they become one of my…
