[Fidelity] MU_ThaliaSM

THALIA ZEDEK

With her husky howl and devastating delivery, Thalia Zedek sounds as though she's carried the burden of Boston on her back for decades.

[Fidelity] MU_WonderfulSpellsSM

Wonderful Spells

I'm not normally a fan of generalizations, but it seems pretty self-evident that innovation for innovation's sake

[Fidelity] MU_PiebaldSM

Piebald Says Goodbye

I can't explain my emotional connection with Piebald. Say what you will about post-rock-punk-pop baloney, but to know Piebald was to love them.

[Fidelity] MU_BigDipperSM

Big Dipper

As a seminal Boston band in the late '80s, Big Dipper became one of the area's first nationally acclaimed indie-rock exports.

[Fidelity] MU_MarkRobinsonSM

Mark Robinson

As the founder of five bands, a solo project and the label that they all call home, Mark Robinson played an integral role in the rise

[Fidelity] MU_FidelityDanSheaSM

Dan Shea

I recently asked a bunch of people I knew what they thought of Dan Shea, and he apparently looks great in gym shorts, makes great chili and has declared a war against boredom.

[Fidelity] MU_HaveNotsSM

Have Nots

"Everyone keeps putting 'The Have Nots' on fliers. It's definitely just 'Have Nots,' a representation of a certain demographic," says guitarist and co-vocalist Jon Cauztik

[Fidelity] MU_ChrisBrokawSM

Chris Brokaw

Chris Brokaw is one of the most prolific and active artists to call Boston home. Since coming up in the '90s with the East Coast bands Come and Codeine, he has been extremely busy with his own albums, scores and projects with others (Fflashlights and the New Year come to mind).

[Fidelity] MU_FatalFlawSM

THE FATAL FLAW

Fans of local synth-punks The Information, like yours truly, were stoked when we heard 411 guitarist Zack Wells had signed on with recent San Fran transplant Joel Reader of The Plus Ones and seminal left coast punks The Avengers, for a "super group" called The Fatal Flaw.

[Fidelity] MU_PrettyNiceSM

PRETTY & NICE

For local band Pretty & Nice, signing to Sub Pop imprint Hardly Art came as something of a shock. "Our initial reaction was skepticism," says guitarist/vocalist Jeremy Mendicino. "We tried to blow holes through [Hardly Art's proposal] for like a month."

Attention Artists! Stop the Orphan Act!

By weeklydig on Mon, May 5, 2008 12:23 pm

Two bills were submitted to congress at the end of April — one to the House and one to the Senate — called the Orphan Works Act of 2008. Congress is looking to have this act passed and signed into law by George Bush by June 8, 2008, less than two months after it was introduced.

 

In a nutshell, this act may put many of you creative people in a tight spot when it comes to copyrighting your images and jeopardize long term royalties.
