...Dirty Harriet, an accomplished team of producers, including Busta Rhymes, Pete Rock and DJ Premier of Gang Starr, stick successfully with old-school beats. Unfortunately, the couple of tracks produced by Shok from the Ruff Ryders are less effective: one titled "Do the Ladies Run This" is marred by a bagpipe-like synthesizer instrumentation. Resemblances to Scottish folk tunes aside, Dirty Harriet is an outstanding album that welcomes Rah Digga to the ranks of hip-hop's elite. The album's title is a direct reference to abolitionist leader Harriet Tubman: let's hope that Rah Digga's debut guides...
First, the crime capped a year of increased violence at CambridgeSide, including fistfights, assaults and robberies--including a robbery that happened earlier that Christmas Eve. Two different gang-related brawls at the mall a year ago led to the arrest of a dozen Boston youths...
With the new baseball season underway, residents of Boston and members of Red Sox nation have begun another clamor for the construction of a new stadium. Allegedly, it will happen this time--they even have blueprints. But unless Boston Mayor Tom Menino and the Beacon Hill gang actually mobilize in the next few months, the situation will look awfully similar to the football stadium debacle last year that almost led to the Hartford Patriots. The Red Sox are a Boston institution. They ought to get the infrastructure that they want for this project. Everybody wins with a new stadium...
...indulgent. Groove Armada lived up to expectations, opening their eclectic set with some Latin-influenced house tunes (including a tasty remix of Basement Jaxx's "Jump and Shout") before moving on to throw on some breakbeat tunes, some funk and even an old-school track from the Sugarhill Gang. True to the anything-with-a-beat-goes spirit of the night, Cato and Findlay goofed around on the live bass guitar and keyboards and added cheeky touches of humor (a sample of a woman moaning "Oh Groove Armada" had the crowd visibly laughing). Of course, some self-promotion...
Here's the essence of it, gang: stocks that soar can also plummet. Sure, in the long run, high risk usually means high reward, and the techs could climb anew. But the long run can be long indeed, and if you hold only a few stocks, there are no guarantees. You could be wiped out. Even if you own a basket of tech stocks, your nest egg could drop 50% or more in the time it takes to order that new BMW. Spreading investments across asset classes reduces such risk and looks dumb only to the tech cultists...
