...speaking to a friend the other day and discussing the lack of big names on the Boston concert calendar this year compared to previous years. Fortunately, there's a host of talented lesser-known faces arriving. Elliott Smith comes into town tomorrow, while Lockgroove, who headlined last year's Crimson-Advocate band showcase Blast!, performs at the Wheeler-Lynch Gallery. On Monday, alt-metal band Slipknot comes to Avalon while sensation Jill Scott sings at the Paradise. Jill Scott is, of course, part of that same amazing revival of Philly R&B and soul that produced the Roots. (Indeed, Scott...
...lust for worldwide fame slowly killed tradition and for that someone should hang." Spooky. Making light of it all is a song called I'd Give My Right Nut to Save Country Music, sung with deadpan earnestness by C.M.A. Single of the Year winner LEE ANN WOMACK and the lesser-known Ray Driskoll.

From two productions of lesser-known Shakespeare plays--Timon of Athens and Cymbeline--to a four-person Taming of the Shrew to a multimedia Agamemnon, there's still a fair amount of unusual work going up this semester...
...been elected to the House 10 times in Florida if I wasn't." But state G.O.P. leaders privately concede that McCollum was not the center-right candidate Jeb Bush had hoped for. Still, though his record is inked with fights against the Brady gun-control bills, McCollum has a lesser-known reputation as a bipartisan legislator, working with Florida's Democratic Senator Bob Graham to fund major new antidrug aid for Colombia this year; and his stand with the Bushes on "more school-accountable" education reform, which has been well received in Florida, gives McCollum an issue with which...
