Upcoming August Concerts
August is usually a pretty staid month for music here in Boston, but we’ve got some good concerts coming up. Everything from early music to Ravel is in the works for the next few weeks.
Well, crap
I came across this on Boston.com this afternoon. I’m not one to generally put much faith in medical studies because one is generally the exact opposite of the next one to come down the pike. This one, however hits home for me.
Happy August 1st
Normally I hate August. Today is different.
The graphic below is in honor of the fact that Geoff and I get health insurance today and also because today marks a great change in American health care.

July and August Concerts
I just got this email today from Matthew Hall and so I thought I’d pass it along to the rest of you. There are three concerts he’s involved with, starting tonight, that help wrap up SoHIP.
Summer Music Making
I haven’t been getting too many emails lately about other people having concerts this summer, so I’ve mostly been posting my own stuff. Lucky for you, I can now post an opportunity for you to get in on before the downbeat.
Saturday July 21st, 2012 – 8:00pm Harvard Square – WAGNER, BARTÓK, & BRAHMS
Hi folks,
This is just a quick note to let you all know that I’m appearing with the Mercury Orchestra in their July 21st concert. I am appearing with members of The Seraphim Singers in the Bartók The Miraculous Mandarin. The program is:
Wagner Overture to Tannhäuser
Bartók The Miraculous Mandarin (complete)
Brahms Symphony No. 1 in c minor
Tickets are available online and at the door, though they’re $5 less if you buy them in advance. Don’t miss the chance to hear the Bartók performed. It’s rarely done and even more rarely done in complete form.
Hope to see you there.

Following up on Replacements.com and North Carolina Hate
Back at the end of May I wrote about how Replacements.com had the guts to fight against the Constitutional Amendment that was enshrining Hate into their state laws in North Carolina. I encouraged readers to contact them and show their support. I emailed them to tell them how much I appreciated what they were doing. As further proof of the kind of shop they run down there, they wrote back.

Stewie and Koko
Regular readers around here will know that Geoff and I have a HUGE soft spot for animals. Ours are our kids and we’ll make sure that they eat and go to the vet before we go to the grocery store or the doctor. They are our family.
As a result, we spend a lot of time helping other animals, individuals, and rescue groups get animals in need the care and homes they need. Today I’m going to tell you about two of them. One of them is a lot luckier than the other but they’re both special in their own way. I hope you’ll take the time to listen to their stories and help if you can.
We met The Bloggess
Ok, so this post is a week late. That does not in any way diminish the awesomeness that is Jenny Lawson, The Bloggess. The link to her blog is in our blog roll to your right. If you haven’t read her stuff I recommend that you click through. I will, however, warn you. She’s not for the easily offended, she’s fond of four letter words, and she’s from Texas.
