"Stardust" is magic, and I urge you not to believe the naysayers. If you are a fan of Neil Gaiman, a fan of Claire Danes, especially a fan of Robert De Niro, or a fan of love, life, and wit then . . .

Jimmy Eat World is back on the charts with a new CD called "Chase This Light" and it's a great chance to catch them at the top of their game. This quartet has emo and indie cred . . .

They're back, but for me they never left. The indie-rock group Buffalo Tom released their first new collection of songs in almost a decade on July 10, 2007. "Three Easy Pieces" brings together . . .

One of the things I love about music, especially in regards to emerging artists, is it really doesn't matter at what point you get on the fan bus -- as long as you get on. I've just climbed . . .

From Boston a six hour plane flight can either put you in London or Los Angeles -- I'm betting most locals would go for the trip across the pond. That doesn't mean everything from Blighty goes . . .

When the lyrics include words like petticoats, catacombs, parapets, balustrade, wastrel, fontanel and waylaid it's a good bet you're not listening to the latest gem from the mouth breathers in . . .

So, did you catch NBC's "Journeyman" on Monday night? Boy, where do I start. I kind of like it ... I kind of hate it. I'll be back for episode 2, but fever dreams of "The Nine" . . .

The musical "Wicked" has returned to The Opera House in Boston bringing a burst of color to the city's autumn arts scene. It's interesting, though, that a show that features a lead character . . .

They all wore black.
The perfect color to deliver a hard hitting, high energy night of music with a purpose -- and a conscience. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band had a message to deliver in . . .

Have you ever dipped a Twinkie in a glass of Coke?
Have you ever seen the musical Mamma Mia?
The two experiences have a lot in common. Both are very fizzy, not terribly nutritious, but enjoyable . . .

Silly is in short supply in Boston right now. The winter's been rough,fuel prices are brutal, street parking has been reduced to an arctic version of the Hatfield/McCoy blood feud. Everyone really . . .

You always have that odd moment when you're talking about new music from the Old 97's ... let's all let it pass okay?! "Blame It On Gravity" ... the first set of fresh tunes since . . .

I heard "A Chorus Line" long before I ever saw it.
It was 1975. The original cast LP (yes, sweet, sweet vinyl). I was a teenager in a small Massachusetts town, the . . .

Thursday ni ght has always been my favorite night for TV. The weekend is close ... but not close enough for a night out. I'm pretty much fried by the work week, but shifting into TGIF . . .

I'm pulling hard for "Pushing Daisies" even though I know in my heart it's far too good for network television. How pumped am I for this show? Put it this way, I'm a lifetime member . . .

Ben Stiller's "Tropic Thunder" is making its share of noise right now, but for me it's more of a suburban gully washer than a pop culture deluge. This movie is like a mischievous puppy . . .

Massachusetts had a shot at bragging rights for the hometown of The Simpsons but wound up losing out to our sugar shack neighbors to the north. Springfield, Vermont certainly has a better quirk factor . . .

Classic can be a conundrum, especially in musical theater. Stay too close to the original and you've got yourself a fossil. Stray too far and you've got nothing put a pale imitation. . . .

The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is right at home in the Hub. This re-imagining of Stephen Sondheim's landmark musical is laced with talent, and delivered with the intensity of a fever dream. Intimate . . .
