Reconstruction project

 JV Darapsinga gets a new lease on life
By MATTHEW M. BURKE  |  December 12, 2006
  Stars

Townes says that his pain will come through on the solo album he’s working on but that it will also be fun and uplifting, with no shots at any fellow artists. He’s also finished recording tracks for a soon-to-be-released album with local rapper Tang da Juice.

But just as he gets started in on that, the cellphone rings. The interview is over. JV’s got to run to a show in the Back Bay. It’s business as usual.
