A movie that takes place where you’re from.

1973's The Friends of Eddie Coyle. Pretty much all footage not in Boston proper was shot in Dedham, MA, first suburb south of the city. Film opens in Dedham Square where I was an ice cream maker. Dad says his trash barrel can be spotted.

Boston’s about to see the birth of a thriving black metal music scene, as foretold in the prophecy that hath now come to pass.

20 yrs ago I started a new band. We had rehearsed all fall & played our debut show at Great Scott, Allston, MA on 11/15/05. I hoped we'd play a few shows, maybe record an EP. 2 decades, 5 drummers, and 11 albums later, here we still is.

Hallelujah the Hills is live tonight. dice.fm/event/7d7wn6...

On creating DECK, the band turning 20, and the importance of rehearsing in a space that evokes "glorious chaos." Thanks, Allston Pudding! allstonpudding.com/people-think...

"She preached to 7,000 people a day...She reenacted the scriptures with live camels, lions and lambs. She topped her church with radio towers to reach the sinning masses. In the 1930s she was big enough to be name-dropped in the lyrics of 'Hooray for Hollywood.'"

Using an image of a famous immigrant to recruit people to work for ICE, perhaps one of the most famous/successsful immigrants of our lifetime, is some Dumb-Fuck Hall of Fame type shit.

Disappointed that the Sandwich Guy case didn't feature photos of bits of lettuce and onion on the ground with these number cards near them like they do with bullets at a crime scene.

In the lead up to the 20th anniversary of #HallelujahTheHills we’re posting clips of music videos past. Today’s is 2014’s “Do You Have Romantic Courage?” where we threw a house party and filmed it for posterity.

We’re live 11/15 to celebrate at Deep Cuts with a special reunion performance of Ho-Ag!

@mayorwu.boston.gov, thank your for your active, vocal, clear resistance to MAGA invasion + the dedication to making bike lanes work. But hey, also, you're unopposed this year becuz Josh Kraft is a clown. Anyway, I voted.

Diane Ladd, RIP

Here she is on the set of Inland Empire with her daughter, Laura Dern, talking about how many great directors she's worked with in her career. Lynch's return volley is of course wonderful as well. We lost them both this year. Legends!

Straight from the RR Diner in #TwinPeaks, it’s Shelly Johnson and Gordon Cole. “THAT’S THE KIND OF GIRL THAT MAKES YOU WISH YOU SPOKE A LITTLE FRENCH!” Happy Halloween!
