The Old Edison and Liz Baillie + More

The Old Edison: Is a raw folk band from south Boston. When listening to this album “Theres Always a Place in Dorchester” I felt the words and music flow right through me. They have a lot of powerful songs; you can hear how much heart and soul they put into their music and lyrics. While listening to it you can feel the many emotions running through you. Their album is a great work of art to spend your down time listening to. It’s one of those albums that you turn on when you get out of work after a rough day, maybe you’re at the bar and in need for something strong , or perhaps you’re around the camp fire and your reminiscing about your past lovers, friends, and good memories. When you see this talented band live you can feel the energy, the emotions, and you’re just letting them go as you sing along with everyone else. Check them out at the Middle East next Monday for a free show.

Liz Baillie: Is one of my favorite comic book artists. She is talented, imaginative, and creative. She has grabbed my attention and a lot of others

“My Brain Hurts”: Is named after the screeching weasel Album. This two book series is about some gay New York punks that are staying true to themselves. They party, go to shows, drink, create mischief and mayhem, and get into trouble. It’s an amazing story that has a heart felt satisfaction. It's a story for the queers, I'ts a story for the punks, It's a story for the outcast, and its a story that every one should cherish.  Don't get me wrong this book is not just about being gay. I believe it has a deeper meaning to it. i think it says " Life has it's ups and downs but you got to make you own path to the point ware you're happy

“Freewheel”: Is a traveling punk rockers bedtime fantasy adventure story. It is very hard to explain, there is Adventure mystery and it is a page turner and I’m itching for the second part. “Freewheel” is named after a Team Dresch song off of the “Personal Best” Album. It’s a great song by a great band I recommend you check it out. OK so "Freewheel" starts off with this sister waking up in a room with her brother missing. She runs away, meets some hobos, and encounters meny challenges and test. The world that Liz Creates is like Peter Pan and the Lost Boys hang out meets a folklore version of "Alice in Wonderland". I can't wait to see the rest  of the journey.
