What Boston’s Buzzing aBout

RecoRd setteRsThe sudden resurgence of vinyl records will come as no surprise to those who think digital downloads never sound quite like dad’s old turntables. Feeding this demand for vintage variety, Boston boasts some of the finest record stores in the country. First up is In Your Ear Records (957 Commonwealth Ave., 617-787-9755), an underground haven for all that is vinyl. This long-standing shop sells everything from doo wop to death metal in its pleasingly punkish digs. Another classic Boston record shop is Nuggets (486 Commonwealth Ave., 617-536-0679), a blast from the musical past offering an impressive array of classic rock alongside a bevy of hard-to-find cassettes and CDs. Finally, for music mavens in Cambridge, the most obscure genres and funkiest bands can be found at Cheapo Records (538 Massachusetts Ave., 617-354-4455), a vinyl institution located in Central Square. —Paul Adler

peaRl haRboRNo need to wait for low tide to satisfy your desire for

shellfish. From bars to restaurants that focus on the raw delicacies, Boston is brimming

with places to indulge in the almighty oyster. The following are a few pearls:

The cozy raw bar at B&G Oysters (550 Tremont St., 617-423-0550) features

more than a dozen options nightly along with a selection of gourmet seafood

dishes; Island Creek Oyster Bar (500 Commonwealth Ave., 617-532-5300) serves up

some swanky atmosphere along with the oysters for which the bar is named; Union Oyster House (refer to listing, page 55), the oldest restaurant in the U.S., has been a shellfish staple for 186 years;

and Legal Sea Foods (refer to listing, page 61) is fresh, convenient (with 19 Mass. locations) and reasonably priced. —Samantha House

bad companyIn the art world, who’s to say what’s bad and what’s good?

The Museum of Bad Art (580 High St. in Dedham Square, 781-444-6757) has been offering its opinion on the subject since 1994. Known as MOBA, the gallery that started in the

garden level of a private residence has now expanded to three locations, including Dedham, Brookline and Somerville. The organization is community-based and “dedicated to the

collection, preservation, exhibition and celebration of bad art in all its forms and in all its glory,” says Executive Director

Louise Reilly Sacco. From childlike drawings to intricately odd paintings, you’ll leave with a laugh and a boost of confidence

in your own artistic abilities. —Samantha House

keyed upIf you’re in the mood to make new friends while belting out your favorite tunes, then the high-energy dueling piano bar Howl at the Moon (refer to listing, page 54) is the best ticket in town. A fun-loving clientele gathers at this festive watering hole nightly for strong drinks (they actually offer beverages in buckets), heavenly bar food and upbeat entertainment. Two piano players take turns filling requests from the crowd as everyone happily sings along. It’s not unusual to see spontaneous dancing, and don’t be surprised if you get singled out and brought up on stage. For a small fee you can even write whatever pleases you on a nearby chalkboard. If you’re looking for a memorable night complete with riotous atmosphere and spirited music, this is the place for you. —Samantha House

know the scoreThere are few classic musicals so central to our culture that they truly require no introduction. Continuously on stage for over a quarter of a century, Les Misérables is undoubtedly one of these all-time greats. This month, Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg’s musical adaptation of Victor Hugo’s 1862 novel makes its triumphant return to the local stage, playing though April 1 at the Boston Opera House. Winner of both Tony and Oliver awards, Les Misérables relates the heartbreaking and redemptive tale of Jean Valjean as he seeks love and honor in 19th century France. With an explosive score and involving plot, it’s easy to see why this masterpiece of the stage has remained a crowd favorite for so many years. —Paul Adler

From smooth jazz to rock, punk to classical music, the birthplace of such leg-endary bands as Aerosmith and The Cars has a venue to suit every musical taste. When it comes to rock ’n’ roll, Boston is a veritable paradise. In fact, the paradise rock club (967 Commonwealth Ave., 617-562-8800) is one of the finest spots to get your electric guitar fix. For big names and big crowds, both the house of Blues (15 Lansdowne St., 888-693-2583) and the Wilbur theatre (246 Tremont St., 617-248-9700) host a wide range of performers, from R&B stars to arena rockers.

Boston’s Best Music Venues

Lovers of house music, indie rock and a lively bar scene will want to stop by the middle East (472 Massachusetts Ave., Cam-bridge, 617-864-3278), a frenetic restaurant and nightclub in Central Square. Meanwhile, punk rock rules at Brighton music hall (158 Brighton Ave., Allston, 617-779-0140), an intimate venue favored by local bands. Blend-ing both regional acts and national names, t.t. the Bear’s place (10 Brookline St., Cambridge, 617-492-2327) rocks Cambridge nearly every night; and for everything folk, the legendary club passim (47 Palmer St.,

Cambridge, 617-492-7679) has been a perennial hotspot since 1958. For those partial to the smoky sounds of jazz, Boston boasts some of the na-tion’s most storied stages. scullers jazz club (400 Soldiers Field Rd., 617-562-4111) features the genre’s biggest names in an inviting setting. Funky and intimate, the Beehive (541 Tremont St., 617-423-0069) is yet another worthy stop for jazz hounds, as is regattabar (1 Bennett St., Cambridge, 617-661-5000), a world-class jazz club and wa-tering hole hidden away in the swanky Charles Hotel. Meanwhile, the awe-inspiring sounds of classical music are almost always on display at Boston’s symphony hall (301 Massachusetts Ave., 617-266-1492), a renowned cultural venue and home of the famed Boston Symphony Orchestra. the Wang theatre (270 Tremont St., 617-482-9393) also offers an immensely wide array of programming, ranging from up-and-comers to international superstars. —Paul Adler

beacon hillAn old world feeling awaits you in this quaint part of the city

Walking along Beacon Hill’s picturesque gas-lit streets, brick sidewalks and Federal-style row houses, it’s not uncommon to feel as though you’ve travelled

back in time. At once astonishingly classy yet utterly accom-modating, this area has born witness to much of the city’s sto-ried past. The State House—with its gleaming gold dome—sits on the peak of the hill where the beacon for which the neigh-borhood was named used to reside. In this district, visitors can also find the African Meeting House, which holds the Museum of African-American History, as well as the Bull and Finch Pub, the inspiration for the popular TV show, “Cheers.” Charles Street, located at the flat of the hill, is lined with boutiques, restaurants, cafes and charming hotels. Locals descend the hill daily to enjoy all that Charles Street has to offer, adding to the feeling of small-town charm and historical ambiance.

NORTH ENDFabulous cuisine, shopping and history are abundant in Boston’s Little Italy

Old North Church

Italian culture reigns in the North End, Boston’s oldest and busiest neighborhood. The sweet scent of fresh cannoli rises from countless Italian bakeries that permeate this

neighborhood’s narrow cobblestone streets, while the verita-ble buffet of dining choices will have you wishing there were more than three meals to enjoy in a day. Recently, clothing and home decor boutiques have been setting up shop here, making the North End an even more diverse and desirable destination. Don’t even try to find a parking space—it’s best to hop on the T or walk. If you happen to be strolling The Freedom Trail, you’ll discover three of the North End’s most important historical sites: The Paul Revere House, Copp’s Hill Burying Ground and the Old North Church. Summer-time brings people into the streets to celebrate various Italian feasts with music, socializing and, of course, sensational food.

Back in boston

1. Aerosmith: This Boston institution fronted by Steven Tyler is the most successful rock band in American history. It formed in 1970 and is still going strong with a fan base that spans generations.

2. the CArs: The Cars’ self-titled 1979 de-but album went platinum in record time and they held onto that success for eleven years. The band (pictured above in its 1980 heyday) has recently released a successful album fea-turing the original remaining members.

3. Boston: Still one of the best-selling debut records of all time, Boston’s first album was recorded in guitarist Tom Scholz’s basement studio. The band went on to create five more albums that still get airplay today.

4. the Pixies: Formed in Boston in 1986, The Pixies quickly found a cult following. They continue to be a tremendous influence on musicians—Kurt Cobain even cited them as an inspiration.

5. the J. Geils BAnd: This legendary band played Boston venues in the ’70s, win-ning over countless local fans before getting signed. The ’80s brought even more success with hits like “Freeze-Frame” and “Centerfold.”

6. the droPkiCk murPhys: This 14-year-old Irish punk band is famous for its wildly energetic shows. Loyal fans from around the world flock to see them perform, causing tickets to sell out in record time.

7. morPhine: A sweetheart of the indie-rock world, Morphine saw very little mainstream success in the United States but was heavily embraced by international markets. Their music was coined “low rock” due to the deep crooning that defined their songs.

8. the miGhty miGhty Bosstones: An initially misunderstood mixture of ska, metal and rock defined this band’s unique sound which was said to have paved the way for bands such as No Doubt and Sublime.

9. dinosAur Jr: In the ’80s, three high school friends started this hardcore punk band. They courted a cult-folowing and were hugely influential in the indie-rock scene. They recently reunited, producing two of the strongest albums of their career.

10. GodsmACk: Since its formation in 1995, this heavy metal band has had three consecu-tive number one albums, 19 top ten hits and have sold over 20 million records.
