AVENGED SEVENFOLD

AVENGED SEVENFOLD

By LUKE O'NEIL

Another brutal collection of burners and (sort of) sexy grooves from the active rock radio heroes displays the requisite riff-chugging and double bass drum grooves. Standout track "Critical Acclaim" is an anti-war screed that rips with a righteous indignation and finds singer M. Shadows swinging between a (gasp!) sensitive croon and his balls-in-the-meat-grinder throat bombs. On "Almost Easy" we find out just how hard dude's heart-got-did-wrong in a solo-tastic sort-of pop song. Sounds good and everything, but unforch now we've gotten a peek inside the greasy domes of every American teenage dishwasher for the next sixth months. Not pretty.

Homeless in Boston

By weeklydig on Fri, Feb 5, 2010 3:50 pm

Our office is directly across from the Pine Street Inn so we have our fair share of homeless wanderers in the neighborhood. Occasionally they come into our building and hang out on the stairs or even, like just the other day, come into our office and move into our bathroom. It's worst when it's really cold and I always feel torn about booting these folks. Life must be hard enough. But at the some time...get the hell out of my office! What would you do?

I never expected to end up volunteerig at the Sundance film festival. I wanted to do it, but life always seems to come up. Well, here I am, six days into the fest, finally reporting to the beloved Dig readers.
