Allston, Massachusetts! On January 16th, 2012, Audrey Ryan will be featured at Rock Shop #14: “The Need to Be Heard”
Audrey Ryan, a nationally touring Boston-based musician, has written a book “for and about DIY (“Do It Yourself”) musicians – those artists who do not have big support teams that consist of labels, managers, and lawyers. It is the story of a variety of artists, both known and unknown, all united by a burning desire to be heard.”
We’ll talk about Audrey’s book, how it came to be and the lessons that we can take away from it, with Audrey and some of the featured interviewees from her book.
with guests:
Audrey Ryan (Musician / Writer)
and
Michael Creamer (Manager)
Will Dailey (Musician)
David Day (of The Weekly Dig)
And your gracious hosts Steve Theo (Pirate!) and Kevin Hoskins, with Josh Smith and Carl Lavin (CQ Presents)!
Audrey will have books available for purchase at the event!

“Top Tens”
Some of the gang from Burst & Bloom have compiled their top ten lists for the year 2011. And none of them stop at ten. Read on to see our favorite albums, movies, TV shows, etc…
We’d like to introduce you to the newest member of the Burst & Bloom family, Tommy McCaffrey.
McCaffrey is a poet, currently living in Brooklyn, and we’re excited to be releasing his debut book of poems, Crying at Sci-Fi, in early 2012.
Below, a poem, featured in The Furnace Review.
.
I never saw you eat breakfast the way it is supposed to be.
There were no windows in our kitchen.
No morning light falling upon your face, no sun dangling from soft lips;
a drop of milk-
spackle falling off the easy dimple in your chin.
I am off for work instead,
or you’re gone by the time I wake.
And I wake,
With only softly shaded groggy snapshots,
articles draped across the dresser,
your loose underwear pulled tight against
the red showered ass you shook
in the chilly stale
between the apartment walls.
To breathe in deep against the window glass as you left the bedroom,
I stopped,
as your steps descended out into day,
and spotted a parking ticket
in the midday glow
of the lot.
Guy Capecelatro III reading from Some Women last weekend in Somerville, MA.
Two more readings (also featuring Audrey Ryan) in Biddeford, ME and Portsmouth, NH Nov 11 and 12. See LIVE PAGE for details.
Ruin / Renewal‘s Josh Pritchard played live and was interviewed on the Tell Me Something I Want to Hear podcast. It’s a free download or stream available here.
Mara Flynn’s debut cd for Burst & Bloom is now available. Golden and touching, with otherworldly harmonies, seven deceptively sweet songs, years in the making. Listen below.
We are excited to announce two new releases- Hello Shark‘s album Break Arms, and Guy Capecelatro III‘s book Some Women.
Hello Shark is certainly one of our favorite bands right now, and we dare say that Break Arms is a tiny masterpiece. Lush and simple, hot and cold- at the same time!
Guy has been contributing his Some Women column to Portsmouth, NH’s The Wire for several years, and has compiled them for the first time in a pocket-sized paperback book. Taken in all together, it becomes sort of like a poem, and these women come to life through Capecelatro’s spartan prose.
Summer’s almost here, and we have lots of new releases on the way. Right now, you can order the debut EP by Boston’s Ruin / Renewal [CD or download] as well as Audrey Ryan‘s book The Need to Be Heard [paperback book or digital download].
Check back soon for a new book and album from Guy Capecelatro III, and a new album from Hello Shark, as well as the third installment in the Seasonal Disorder CD series- Summer.
