I had the opportunity to photograph and review Green Day
last week at the Venue Formerly Known As Great Woods and while I’m not allowed
to publish my photos anywhere other than <a href="https://glidemagazine.com/191994/green-day-remains-one-rocks-powerful-live-acts-show-reviewphotos/">the review I wrote for Glide Magazine,</a>
I took plenty of shots of the opening act, Catfish and the Bottlemen, that are
too fun not to share. Enjoy!</div>

Boston Calling keeps outdoing itself, and as a result, they’re
raising their own bar in a way they may regret. I can’t say enough how proud I

It’s with deep sadness I report that Benjamin Curtis of The
Secret Machines passed away today at the age of 35 as a result of his yearlong
battle against cancer. The bulk of the news articles being published pay the
most attention to his recent project, School of Seven Bells, but it was his
work alongside his brother, Brandon, and Josh Garza in The Secret Machines that
will always endear him to me.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After being utterly floored by TSM’s late night performance
at Bonnaroo in the summer of 2005, the budding music journalist in me wanted
nothing more than a shot at these guys. Their publicist at Warner Brothers told
me she’d give me access if I’d provide some press for Taking Back Sunday. I
played ball. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While this horse-trading was an unpleasant intro to the
music industry, one on one, Benjamin was as kind and gentle as an artist can
be. I had the chance to interview him and his band mates on a few different
occasions and he always remembered me and thanked me for my coverage. The
reporter in me these days brushes things like this off as an attempt to gain
favor with the media, but as a 19 year old who could barely hold the recorder
straight, this meant a lot to me. <a href="http://www.glidemagazine.com/5098/secret-machines-lights-on/"><span style="color: blue;">He was my first interview.</span></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In 2007, Benjamin left TSM at their height to join School of
Seven Bells, a group that he got more professional success out of, and he never
played with The Secret Machines again.</div>

The national blogs are focusing on his work with School of
Seven Bells and the hometown press from Dallas are making note of his work with
local acts like UFOFU and Tripping Daisy but The Secret Machines remains one of
my favorite acts of the early 2000’s. It always disappointed me that the group
sort of fizzled out when they had such potential but for as long as it had been
since they’d made any news, The Secret Machines’ <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/now-here-is-nowhere-mw0000332374"><span style="color: blue;">N</span></a><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/now-here-is-nowhere-mw0000332374"><span style="color: blue;">ow Here Is Nowhere</span></a> </i>remains one of my favorite albums of all time.</div>

my article didn’t speak for itself, My Bloody Valentine was by far the loudest

It’s been a while but there’s much to report. I’d spent 5
days on Jam Cruise 11 <a href="http://www.jambase.com/Articles/111224/Review-Photos-Jam-Cruise-11-Day-5"><span style="color: blue;">reporting daily</span></a> for Jambase.com and while I was on the

While <a href="http://www.glidemagazine.com/articles/58718/catalpa-nyc-music-festival.html"><span style="color: blue;">reviewing the first day of the Catalpa Music Festivalfor Glide Magazine</span></a> last weekend, I took plenty of photographs that Glide didn’t
have space for. I felt like it would be a shame for good shots of acts like The
Black Keys, TV On The Radio, Umphrey’s Mcgee and more to go unseen so I’ve
plastered them to the digital walls of andrewbruss.com. I hope your summer has
been rocking as hard as The Black Keys did on Randalls Island.</div>

added some serious swagger to pre-<i>Limbs</i>
material like “15 Steps” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The lights were perhaps the most impressive Radiohead has
ever played in front of. Using an LED display behind the band, in addition to
hovering video screens projecting footage of the band, they effectively
combined the best parts of the stage schematics they used on their last two
summer tours</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The bulk of the set list was the same as it has been on
every other stop of the tour, starting off with “Bloom,” the opening track off <i>Limbs</i>. However, fans got a rare treat
when Yorke played a verse of Neil Young’s “After The Gold Rush,” as a lead-up
into “Everything In It’s Right Place.” Material from their first two albums,
1993’s <i>Pablo Honey</i> and 1995’s <i>The Bends</i>, didn’t make the cut. But
Radiohead performed a handful of newer unreleased tunes that the crowd roared
in approval of. “The Daily Mail” is a mellower piano-based tune that has a
gradual build up and “Supercollider,” arguably the best of the recent batch of
new tunes, sounds like the start of a whole new phase in their musical
evolution. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The sound mix was incredible from every corner of the venue,
although during guitarist Jonny Greenwood’s solo on “Lucky,” his guitar was hard
to hear over the rest of the band. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Radiohead were firing on all cylinders and sound better than
they have in years. If their tour is coming through your town, get tickets.

The hip-hop community lost a true pioneer in Adam “MCA”

MCA’s love affair with Buddhism is known the world over as a

On a personal level, MCA really showed me what a white Jewish
boy could accomplish. Since I got <i>License

a similar background to me was capable of breaking free from what was expected
of him and followed his heart.</div>

in Boston, and told him that as a Hebrew school drop out, it was an honor to
meet him, and he joked that the honor was all his. Even as one third of a group

that I will never forget. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Pennsylvania State University students disgraced themselves and their school last night by engaging in a selfish riot that demonstrated an utter disregard for the victims of sexual abuse. Football Coach Joe Paterno was fired after a decades-long tenure because of his handling of a sex abuse scandal revolving around one of his subordinates. To be more specific, it is alleged that Paterno’s defensive coordinator, Jerry Sandusky, sodomized a child in a locker room shower stall. Sandusky was arrested on November 4th on dozens of charges of sexual abuse. The schools athletic director, Tim Curley, and Gary Shultz, Vice President of Finance and Business have both been arrested for perjury as a result of their failure to report the sexual assault.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Although Paterno is not legally accountable because he did the bare minimum (reporting the allegations to his supervisors), the fact that the police weren't notified is unconscionable. This scandal resulted in the firing of Paterno and Penn State University President Graham Spanier by the Board of Trusties last night, and immediately afterwards, students took to the streets to riot, turn over media vehicles, throw rocks and damage property.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Were they rioting in anger over the fact that their school looked the other way when children were raped on campus? No. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/11/sports/ncaafootball/penn-state-students-in-clashes-after-joe-paterno-is-ousted.html?_r=2"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">The New York Times quoted</span></a> student Paul Howard, 24, as saying, "Of course we're going to riot! What do they expect when they tell us at 10 o'clock that they fired our football coach?"<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Jeff Heim, 19, said, "We got rowdy, and we got maced. But make no mistake, the board started this riot by firing our coach. They tarnished a legend.”<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">These students seem under the impression that their coach is the victim, not the child who was raped in his locker room. If you want more evidence that these students were more worried about football than Sandusky’s victims, hear what the alleged <a href="http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2011/11/sister_of_sandusky_victim_talk.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">victim’s sister had to say</span></a>. Her name was not used to protect the identity of the victim, but she told local media outlets that she has avoided going to class because students made jokes about being “Sanduskied.” She added, “I’ve just been really upset about it all because a lot of people aren’t focusing on the victims in this. And instead they’re focusing on other things, like football.”<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">These students trashed their community out of anger directed at the Board of Directors, not the assistant coach who raped children. Where was the anger when news broke that faculty were facing charges of perjury in a sex abuse case? Why didn’t they riot when they found out that Sandusky was given keys and access to athletic facilities after he was let go for his “indiscretions?” If you judge last nights crowd by their actions, they were much more upset that their coach lost his job than they were about the fact that his protégé allegedly used his stature with the school to rape eight boys over the course of 15 years.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The Board of Trustees used good judgment in firing Paterno and Spanier with the hopes of getting this disgusting mess under control, but it is not enough. I'm sure we will see more steps taken to earn back trust and demonstrate a situation like this will never happen again. But getting rid of a coach is not enough. Every student on camera who destroyed property, attacked the media or fought with police should be expelled. Students like Heim, who acknowledge taking part in the riots, need to be shown that there is no place at Penn State for students who use violence to voice their frustration.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The U.N. estimates that over 3,500 protesters have been killed in Syria by a government that tortures its people. An Iraqi war vet was seriously injured in Oakland, California while protesting economic inequalities at home. In comparison, Penn State students decided to riot because they were mad their coach was fired for protecting a sexual predator. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This is a story about a monster that brutally robbed eight young boys of their childhoods and the failure, or disinterest, in stopping him. In the eyes of Penn State students, this is a story about football and the victim is their once-great coach. In a just world, their inability to grasp the severity of this situation demonstrates an intellectual shortcoming that would bar them from any facility of higher learning. Unfortunately, any of Sandusky’s victims could tell you that the world is not just.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It’s time Penn State students stop worrying about their coach and start worrying about the children who were terrorized on his watch. The Board of Trustees are not the ones with blood on their hands.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><br />

The report says that the Royal Navy is preparing to deploy in the coming months to assist a possible U.S. attack on “key facilities in Iranians.”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Last year, Israel and the United States attacked the Iranian nuclear program with the largest, <a href="http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2011/07/how-digital-detectives-deciphered-stuxnet/all/1"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">most sophisticated cyber-attack in history</span></a>, and the U.K. has concluded that Iran has fully recovered. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Mau5 spent the summer playing music festivals while competing against acts across the field like <a href="http://www.arcadefire.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Arcade Fire</span></a> and the<a href="http://www.foofighters.com/us/home"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"> Foo Fighters</span></a>. His electronica contemporaries, such as <a href="http://www.tiesto.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Tiesto</span></a> and <a href="http://www.pauloakenfold.com/splash"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Paul Oakenfold</span></a>, have been singing his praises loudly, and it’s likely that everyone in attendance at the 16+ show in Boston will continue to spread the gospel like an army of dedicated publicists.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZycYQ0ayEqQ?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">For anyone who isn’t well versed in the differences between house, big beat, acid house or dub step electronica subgenres, the one aspect of Mau5’s show you will rant and rave about are the production values. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MNeuAqcrhA&feature=related"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Daft Punk’s Alive Tour</span></a> is probably the only other electronic act to tour behind such a spectacle, but Mau5 is the first to bring a production of such epic proportions into a nightclub.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Amongst the converted, the production values of the beats themselves are what has made Deadmau5 legend with the house heads. Deadmau5, AKA Joel Zimmerman, has developed a sound instantly recognizable within moments of a listen. In addition to the melodies he pumped on his hits such as “Ghosts ‘n Stuff” and “Raise Your Weapon,” Mau5 infuses every one of his tracks with digitally crafted tracks mastered to perfection. While the intro to “Some Chords” may have sounded simplistic, the multiple layers of bass, fuzz and high-end pitch are definitively Deadmau5. After infusing a slow creeping drum beat, the dance floor didn’t stop moving. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">While his crafty music productions and impressive stage schematics have played a major part in his meteoric rise to fame, Mau5’s branding is what has him the most commercially viable electronica artist of the new millennium. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7s3tf60W_10"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Sasha & Digweed</span></a> were huge, Tiesto still draws a crowd and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wCgxkQj_Qo"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Pretty Lights is bringing the party to every dance hall across the country</span></a>, but who among them has an image as recognizable as Deadmau5? The proliferation of the Deadmau5 brand has played a big part in his ability to sell out multiple nights in a row at Boston’s House of Blues, New York City’s Roseland Ballroom, and plenty of other top-tier clubs. In Boston alone, Mau5 was selling roughly 400 sets of mouse ears made out of glow sticks at $5 a pop. In New York, I was told the number was closer to 800 sets a night.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/vgMtJ7gvLcM?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Between the near-perfection of the beats, the extravagance of the live show, and the development of a recognizable brand (the message boards light up whenever Zimmerman reveals a newly built mouse helmet), Deadmau5 showed Boston in no uncertain terms why 2011 has been the Year of the Mau5.<br />

</tbody></table>Gilad Shalit and I were both born in 1986 to a loving Jewish family who only wanted what was best for us. While I was studying journalism at Emerson College, Gilad was being held captive by Hamas. I think it’s fair to say that every Jew has strong feelings regarding the kidnapping and emotional release of Israeli Defense Force Sergeant First Class Shalit. In 2006, Shalit was kidnapped from his army post inside Israeli territory by Hamas agents who took him to the Gaza Strip. This morning Shalit was <a href="http://www.jpost.com/DiplomacyAndPolitics/Article.aspx?id=242301"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">returned home to his parents</span></a> and greeted by Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu. Shalit’s freedom cost the State of Israel 1,027 Palestinian prisoners, many among them guilty of planning horrific suicide bombing.</div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">It is fair to say that no other country in the world would trade over one thousand prisoners for a single soldier. Then again, no other country in the world is in the situation Israel is in. Plenty of countries draft soldiers, but no country besides Israel is as dependent upon the service of every 18 year-old as is the Jewish State. This is why the nation's pledge to return every soldier,<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"> <a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Middle-East/2008/0717/p12s01-wome.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">even their corpse</span></a></span>, is considered sacred and the Israeli public overwhelmingly supported this prisoner swap.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">But does that mean it was the smart thing to do? Will the Israeli public still support the prisoner trade if (when?) the freed prisoners return to terrorism? The cost of Shalit’s freedom rewards Hamas for what was a legal act of war and will only encourage them to kidnap another soldier. Will the Israeli public still support the swap when Hamas brags that the success of Shalit’s kidnapping encouraged them to kidnap whomever they nab next?</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

I support the movement’s general aim of improving the financial sector, but without stated goals or any sort of leadership, I’m still not sure what the end game is.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The movement has spread to dozens of cities around the country, including Boston, and my reluctance to weigh in on this movement vanished when the <a href="http://www.boston.com/Boston/metrodesk/2011/10/boston-mayor-says-sympathizes-with-protesters-but-they-can-tie-the-city/GFmOU1qwApiGhBNsNSzMIL/index.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Boston Police Department arrested 141 people</span></a> for protesting peacefully, only to be followed by Mayor Thomas Menino telling the world, <a href="http://www.wbur.org/2011/10/11/menino-protest-arrests"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">“Civil disobedience does not work for Boston; it doesn’t work for anyone.”</span></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

BPD spokeswomen Elaine Driscoll first told <i>The Boston Globe</i> they would not let protesters spread because of expensive renovations recently performed. However, Commissioner Davis did not seem as worried about the upkeep of city property as much as the threat of Anarchists. <a href="http://www.bostonherald.com/news/regional/view/20111011boston_police_arrest_50_from_occupy_boston/srvc=home&position=0"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><i>The Boston Herald</i> quoted Davis as saying</span></a>: “The group that was here for the first ten days was working very closely with us, but they warned us yesterday morning that a new group, the anarchists, wanted to take control.” </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.nofxofficialwebsite.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">NOFX</span></a>’s performance at Boston’s House of Blues last night was a total mess of epic proportions, but the band wouldn’t have had it any other way. They took the stage half-cocked, drinks in hand and ready to have fun. As fans affectingly chanted “NOFX Sucks” the band tore through a set of career-spanning tunes that were connected by some of the wittiest stage banter I have ever heard. They were far from tight, but the comedy alone was worth the ticket price.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Sure, there were more stalled starts than can be counted, and the sound guy was drunk (leading to some ear-splitting feedback at times), but their carefree interactions with the audience were almost as much of a highlight as their run through, “Stick It In My Eye.”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Singer Fat Mike made plenty of jokes about college kids taking Adderall, his early childhood in Newton, Mass, and the group even took a couple of well-intended jabs at local acts like <a href="http://www.dropkickmurphys.com/news/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Dropkick Murphys</span></a> and <a href="http://www.bosstonesmusic.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">The Mighty Mighty Bosstones</span></a>.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The musical element of the performance was far from polished but it didn’t have to be. NOFX makes punk music and take themselves far from seriously. <a href="http://www.anti-flag.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Anti-Flag</span></a>, who played an energized set before NOFX, worked the crowd up with messages of unity, brotherhood, and resistance to capitalism and military aggression. Although both acts have a similar set of fans, the force-fed message of Anti-Flag couldn’t be farther from the on-the-fly humor NOFX brought on-stage. Anti-Flag encourages tolerance of all races, ethnicities and sexes. NOFX, whose makeup consists of “<a href="http://www.amazon.com/White-Trash-Two-Heebs-Bean/dp/B000001IOS"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">White Trash, Two Heebs and a Bean</span></a>,” made jokes about Jews, Mexicans, and even the death of Steve Jobs (“That’s just what the world needs. Less jobs”).</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
