NKOTB reunites (or, New Kids On The Block for the tragically unhip).
The X-Files live again in a movie.
Sex in the City will also see a comeback in a movie.
A Clinton is running for office.
And 90210 is set to return to the tube.
This is weird, right?

Is it me, or have the ’90s returned?
Posted in Culture and Society, Film, Music, Television on Apr 27th, 2008 Comments
I love art — and a good show at the MFA. The museum’s current major exhibition, “El Greco to Velazquez” is no exception.
I thought I was familiar with El Greco’s work before I headed to the Boston museum. When I got there I realized I had no clue. While I was familiar with his portraits, [...]
This just in from my colleague Emily Young:
So before last night, I was a ‘Hairspray’ virgin. I did see television ads for last summer’s silver screen revival (seriously, no one could stop the beat with those hourly TV commercials). And sure, I grew up in the era of Ricki Lake. But somehow I had [...]
The brothers of “Mmmbop” fame are headed to the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom this week.

This just in from my colleague, Emily Young:
One of many Young family traditions was an annual pilgrimage to the Big Apple Circus. More often than not, our trip to the Boston big top fell on Patriot’s Day, when the city was crowded with exhausted marathoners and celebratory fans.
Peace, What’s going on here in the Merrimack Valley?

In the course of working on today’s (Sunday, April 13) story about the birth of the peace symbol, I had the chance to talk to some locals about the peace movement.
There’s a lot going on locally — including a weekly gathering in Newburyport.
Am I the only one who’s been oblivious? What’s going on here?
This just in:
Raine Maida, best known for his gig fronting iconic Canadian rock band Our Lady Peace, has branched off on his own and created the record he was always meant to make. The Hunter’s Lullaby, set to hit on August 26th (Kingnoise Records) is a collection of 10 commanding songs that are poignant and [...]
Alan Alda
Sandi Bedrosian, local jazz singer, sent this photo of Alda’s visit to Serene. He’s surrounded here by his family, wife, daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren. His daughter lives locally in North Andover, Mass.
An interesting tidbit from a press release I received today:
JibJab, the online entertainment studio that shattered viral video records with its political parody “This Land” is now offering users the chance to put themselves and their friends into hip-hop megastar Snoop Dogg’s latest video, “Sensual Seduction”.
With JibJab’s ‘Starring You!™’ technology, users can upload their photos, [...]
This local band is ready for battle, competing this week in WBCN’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Rumble.
Would love to know what locals think about them, please post your comments here.
