I Know What You Did [This] Summer

The Boston Phoenix has compiled an interesting list of 35 things that happened around the metro area. Admittedly, this was the strangest summer for me, as it was my first in Boston, and included a great amount of adventures, downtime, and yes...booze.

A few notables:
+ The SOMEDAY CAFÉ , in Davis Square, closed. A crêpe place is moving in.
+ A portion of the BIG DIG TUNNEL fell on a car, killing Milena Del Valle, of Jamaica Plain.
+ T-shirt maven JOHNNY CUPCAKES opened a store on Newbury Street. NPR covered it, and expressed concern that no actual cupcakes are for sale at the shop, which is made to look like a bakery.
+ But the NORTH END party was amazing. (Re: World Cup...and yes, it was)
+ TJ’S HOUSE OF PIZZA, in Allston, went vegan and changed its name to TJ Scallywaggles.

A few great shows this summer include:
+ The Paper Chase @ Middle East Upstairs (June 25th)
+ Mad Man Films @ Middle East Upstairs (August 28th)
+ Twilight Singers @ Paradise Lounge (May 29th)
+ Radiohead @ BoA Pavilion (June 6th)
+ Murder City Devils @ Capitol Hill Block Party, Seattle (July 29th)

But again, for the millionth time, tonight is Ellen Allien + Apparat performing for their first and most likely last time together in the states for their latest Bpitch Control release, Orchestra Of Bubbles. Someone fell head over heels for it here, and audio links are in the last post...
