Before FREEZEPOP were awarded our office-made gold record for winning Best Album/EP in the 2001 Best Music Poll, they showed Wednesday's award party crowd at Brighton Music Hall exactly why they are one of Boston's true electronic music pioneers. Here they are performing "Special Effects," off the award-winning record Imaginary Friends Wednesday night at the BMP party, courtesy of video shot by Mick Murray.

Tonight, we rage.

After weeks of planning, plotting and counting up a gazillion votes, The Phoenix is ready to throw down at tonight's Best Music Poll awards at the Brighton Music Hall in Allston. Fear not, we'll have the Bruins on the televisions as they shoot for their first Stanley Cup since 1972, and the awards should be over around whenb the 3rd period starts.
