Headliner Eve6 was flaking, apologetically citing the illness of lead singer and bassist Max Collins as their reason for the sudden cancellation. But the show must go on, especially when Nick Carter and the WBCN crew are broadcasting the concert live. So Marvelous3 was bumped up to the headliner and lived up to the title and much more in a truly incredible live show experience...

Says You!, originating from WGBH Boston and heard on 65 public-radio stations, restores some intellectual equilibrium to the airwaves. Created and hosted by Richard Sher, it offers cunning posers to two teams of players: the sports origin of such phrases as "play for keeps" (marbles) and "to get a rise out of" (fishing); words derived from the Latin for "above the eyebrow" (supercilious) and "before and after" (preposterous); definitions of recent coinages like adhocracy and nouvelle cuisine (which Kahn defined as "a fashionable way to starve in polite company...
