Perhaps the Silver Lining could stay together... if only they spoke Hovitos!
If last night's Hayburner show wasn't enough, here's some more action this week in the Boston environs:
Thursday: Some more good buddies of ours are calling it a day. Our dear friends The Silver Lining are performing what will probably be their last show ("probably" because they're going on indefinite hiatus and may play again here and there). Thankfully, it's nothing acrimonious (like these things tend to be)... Anna and Matt have an adorable 7-month old to tend to, and judging by their music collection he's going to be the coolest little tot ever. They've got some new songs that are available for download on their MySpace page, and their just-finished second record will be available at this show for free. Anyhoo... Matt, Anna, Greg, Doug, and Ted, we love you guys and wish you the best.
How this show will help save the puppies: This show is a fundraiser for the MSPCA Natural Disaster Relief Fund.
(18+, $10 / The Middle East Upstairs, 472-480 Mass Ave, Cambridge.. w. The Rudds, The Gobshites, Andrea Gillis)
Friday: The Rationales release their CD The Going and the Gone at TT's. I've had the CD for a couple of weeks, actually, and while I haven't listened to it yet (like the true lazy-ass that I am), I have seen them in action live and they're quite excellent. You can buy tickets for it here on Ticketweb.

(18+, $10 / TT the Bear's Place, 10 Brookline Street, Cambridge.. w. AM Stereo, Eric Salt & the Electric City, The Gentlemen)
It'll be nice to get out again at any rate, it's been dog's ears since I've had a week of going to shows (and not playing them). I was dealing with a pretty bad ear infection last week (by "pretty bad" I mean "paaaaaaaaaaaaaainful") and was out of commission for a few days. To pass the time between ibuprofen induced comas I saw a ton of movies and episodes of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, and played copious amounts of Mario Kart 64 (had my ass handed to me by Jen more times than I care to mention). Let it be known that Alfred Hitchcock is The Man, even if he has been dead for the last 28 years (or has he?). Can't remember if I mentioned this before and I'm too lazy to check, but Jen got this 4-DVD set with a shit ton of the older Hitchcock movies. The guy was so good.
Oh, and the new Indiana Jones movie is fucking awesome. I don't care what anybody says because honestly, anyone who chooses to debate the finer points of how realistic or not this movie is misses the point completely. I'd say it's better than Temple of Doom, even. I'll go no further, as to avoid spoilers. Just don't go in expecting Citizen Kane or The Unbearable Lightness of Being and you'll be fine. Promise. You don't even have to like George Lucas to like it (personally, I think the man's a hack... a rich hack, yes, but a hack nonetheless).
Anyway, I'm feeling much better now thankyouverymuch, and I've continued to plow through our tour footage. We'll have a little movie for ya'll to watch in no time... and finally the world will witness our wacky antics (like that time I woke Ross up when he was sound asleep... how wacky). I know I sound like a broken record by now, but I really miss touring. In order to placate me, we're doing a little romp around the Northeast corridor in July and are working on a trip through I-90 in September. Might have something delicious happening in November, but it's too early to tell. I hope this all happens. My job's starting to kill me.
Cheers,
Henry
