Winter warmers

By MATT PARISH  |  January 4, 2010

MAGIC PEOPLE | Charlie's Kitchen | February 22 | Finally, these beloved synth stoics will put out the long-awaited (and digitally all-over-the-place-already) LP You Are the Magic People. Why grab this thing on record when you can already download free-and-legal at Inman Street Records? Well, because you're a complete vinyl snob, and because the artwork just rules. Designed by cartoonist Raul Gonzales in black and white, every record comes with three jumbo crayons to finish the job yourself. And what better soundtrack to an afternoon of coloring than Magic People? (PS: Don't feel compelled to stay within the lines — they don't.)
10 Eliot St, Cambridge | 9 pm | 617.492.9646

    Even if they had closed up shop 15 years ago, the Residents would go down as some of rock's most prolific pranksters. They aped the Beatles on their 1974 debut, Meet the Residents , tormented short attention spans with 40-minute songs on 1980's The Commercial Album , and skewered standards by everyone from James Brown to John Philip Sousa along the way.
  •   ETHIOPIQUED  |  January 26, 2010
    Last spring, Danny Mekonnen and Jonah Rapino led Boston's fledgling Ethiopian pop group Debo Band straight to Addis Ababa. They played a local festival, made friends with nightclub owners, and found an Ethiopian Airlines deal for a free trip down the coast to Tanzania.

    Guitar punk rock has a long and, frankly, dull history.
  •   WINTER WARMERS  |  January 04, 2010
    Sure, some bands take the easy route and have album releases through the summer, enticing you to shows with back-patio barbecues and all-night rooftop after-parties. In January? Not so much.
  •   2009: THE YEAR IN LOCAL POP  |  December 28, 2009
    When I think back on 2009, I feel the same pleasant discomfort you get at the end of a John Hughes movie, when suddenly all the jocks and dorks and punks are good friends.
