Spiritualized performs "Soul on Fire," an excellent song from their upcoming album at the MFA.

We visited with the cast of Superbad at a bowling alley. Nice dudes.

Paddy-O's in Faneuil Hall may seem like an odd choice for a rock show, particularly one by a band like The National, but in spite of some dark conditions, it turned out to be a great show.
