From Steve Nelson and the Music Museum Of New England team: "The soil here in New England can be rocky and unyielding, but this region is remarkably fertile ground for music. Since 2007 the Music Museum Of New England has recognized and honored our musical heritage, so we are proud to unveil the all-new MMONE website at mmone.org. Check it out. With a better layout, more visuals and increased functionality -- searches! comment boards! -- there's plenty you'll find to like and more to learn about New England artists, places and personalities. Let us know what you think, and spread the word. After all, it's your museum, too! MMONE couldn't have come this far without your support, suggestions, Facebook "likes" and comments and retweets. So keep doing what you do, and we'll keep growing MMONE for you." There was lots of activity on Record Store Day but we also got news of Bleeker Bob's closing. This was one of the destination shops in NYC. One of the joys of traveling used to be checking out the stock at the local store looking for gems. You can't do it as much any more but hope springs eternal as a new record store opens in Jamacia Plain called Deep Thoughts. Another I-can't-believe-it moment...an Undertones song in a bagel commercial.

It's been a crazy and terrible week here in Boston folks….we truly hope that everyone
who reads this is safe and sound and OK……we feel for Jim Seery of Triple
Thick who was in Watertown and witnessed the shoot out there, he
has posted that he was pretty traumatized by the events unfolding outside his
window! Eric Van was right there as well we hope he's doing OK…I also
ran into Mitch from Triple Thick …who works right near the street
where the bombers lived and was there, as was I, Friday afternoon to check things
out. Total media frenzy there!
And the Beachcombovers make their triumphal return
to the stage at The Cantab…after the Bouncers play on Saturday
as well! Tommy White is psyched since he just returned from a trip to
Italy and while there got to jam on stage with Lorenzo Surfer Joe, Italy's
top surf guitarist.
Roger Miller's Trinary System is at TT the Bears on May 8.
Trinary System consists of Roger C. Miller, guitar & vocal; P. Andrew Willis,
bass & vocal; and Lawrence Dersch, drums. They'll be featuring original material
and some provocative covers from a range of artists (from Miles... Davis to
Morphine). Plus newly-written but not-yet-recorded material, which will hopefully
be released by the end of 2013. The band will perform Big Steam, from Miller's
2012 45. No Mission of Burma songs. Opening will be EULA.
There's a new beer whose name is a salute to WMBR's LATE
RISERS CLUB. By all reports this is one good beer too. It comes from
