Ever seen a zombie reanimate on the dance floor? Love in Stockholm’s Halloween show at the Precinct was a funk-fueled night of the living dead. Love in Stockholm, masquerading as Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band—complete with costumes—was in full force Saturday. Big British shoes to fill you say? Yeah. And Love in Stockholm played the shit out of Sgt. Pepper’s, leaving the crowd screaming, “It’s Alive!!!” The seven-piece ensemble played a high-energy set with their distinct rock-funk sound. Completing the Halloween tribute show was Turkuaz performing as the Talking Heads and Hey Mama as Led Zeppelin.
Just as the famous alter-ego group gave the Beatles the freedom to experiment, Love in Stockholm’s masquerade reinvented Sgt. Pepper’s with that unique soulful edge that Boston seems to have an ever-increasing demand for. Bumping elbows with zombies and X-Men to some kickass rock-funk. Yeah, that’s my kind of Halloween.

I’ve read the book ‘Dream Boogie’ the life and time of Sam Cooke’ If the movie is as good as the book, Sam Cooke will get the respect that he has been deserving of for many years.

My copy of the new Springsteen book arrived, and I can confirm it is an ESSENTIAL keepsake for anyone who cares not only about Bruce in 1978, but also gaining insight into perhaps the single greatest rock and roll tour of all time. The layout, photos and vignettes are amazing, including a surprising memory involving Adele and Douglas Springsteen.You’ll want The Light in Darkness for Xmas 2009.
