Here’s what my colleague Emily Young had to say about the Friday concert:
“Third time’s a charm,” the Indigo Girls sang last night in one of three new songs from their forth-coming independent album, out in February 2009.
Last night also marked the third time my sister and I saw the Indigo Girls perform at Lowell’s Boarding House Park. Accompanied by the ever-energetic Julie Wolf on keys and accordion, the strumming folk duo — Amy Ray and Emily Saliers – played 20 songs and two encores in 90-minutes flat.
There were several songs that I didn’t know, but my foot never stopped tapping. More than 20 years after releasing their first album, “Strange Fire,” their voices are as rich and complimentary as ever; one, by no means, is carrying the other. Their music is perfect for a cross-country road trip, as well as an evening at the grassy, outdoor pavilion.
Additionally, the Girls finally had the weather on their side. As early as 7:40 a.m., local fans were sunning themselves at the park. Seriously.

What will happen? It’s anyone’s guess. My colleague Paul will be there, covering it for Pop.
He’ll be posting his thoughts here tonight after the show, and perhaps some pictures later on.

Mariska Hargitay people.
I thought last night’s show was the best “American Idol” ever, possibly the best concert ever.
I mean, pairing David Cook and ZZ Top? Totally brilliant.
Almost every moment of the show worked, from the performances of the Top 12 with stars like Donna Summer and (OMG!) Bryan Adams to the video presentations | from the wisdom of the Guru Pitka to Galdys Knight and her unexpected Pips.
To cap it all off, Cook wins. I … continued »

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?

The brothers of “Mmmbop” fame are headed to the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom this week.
I have to confess, I interviewed them during the early years (the late ’90s). At the time, I remember thinking they were a little precocious. But in talking to Zac Hanson about where the band is today — and all the good they’re doing for the poor in Africa — I was really impressed with how down to earth they seem … continued »

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 lyrical, delivered in a style reminiscent of the 60’s beat poets with hip hop influenced beats of today. A courageous album by an artist who is reveling in the freedom of creative and commercial independence.
