Our friends over at Boston Band Crush asked me to contribute a few top ten lists of the year in music. Included is my nomination for the truest sign ever, seen here at Great Scott in Allston. Go check out the rest, plus a bunch of other cool lists there.

The nice folks over at The Feast asked me what I wanted for Christmas, which is very nice of them. I forgot to send them my address though, so I guess we'll have to meet up in person for me to collect. Here's what I said.
Repeatedly gluing my broken glasses back together has given me kind of a fresh look (poor street fighter who likes to read), but being able to see is going to be a hot trend this year. Vintage Eyeglasses Online has some cool options. Locally, Eye Q Optical has frames I'd like to see myself in, if you know what I mean. The Feast
Here's the one where I tell you how to not fuck up your punch recipes for a holiday party. I'm like Martha Stewart with a slightly hairier back over here.
Holiday party at your place, dude. I've got some bad news though. First of all, I apologize in advance for spilling cheese dip all over the couch. Second, and more importantly, I'm going to have to request that you up your drinking options from last year's bland spread. It's not enough to just throw a few bottles of off-brand vodka and gas-station wine on the counter beside a bucket of ice....Rule #1: Don't run out of booze. No booze = no friends. That's one recipe you can count on. A fairly good formula is that one gallon of punch works out to about 30 five-ounce servings, so consider your guest list and make the appropriate calculations. Of course, if your friends are anything like my group of ornery winos, you might be better off hiding the punch under lock and key and doling that stuff out like a stingy soup-kitchen staffer. STUFF
Here's the one where I went to a Dashboard Confessional show as a man in his thirties. Don't judge, the 2000s were a very emotional time for me you guys.
You may have noticed emo music fans walking around with a little extra mope in their step lately. Cut them some slack. A spate of shows from venerable acts — including the Get Up Kids’ Matt Pryor last week, and Weezer, who will perform their seminal “Pinkerton’’ album on Wednesday — is probably opening up a lot of long-lost musical and romantic wounds.

Here's a thread where I tell everyone I walked out of a screening of Tron last night, and all of my friends were instantly bummed the fuck out to hear how much it blows.
Here's the one where it really looks like I was tripping balls at SSLLOOWW at Middlesex from the Boston Phoenix.
