BUFFYFEST 2010 (and so much more!) at NEW ENGLAND COMIC CON!

The yearly takeover of Hynes Convention Center by New England Comic Con is going to be drawing far more than just us comic geeks this year. The three-day nerdapalooza, which starts this Friday, is hosting several generations' worth of TV's most-beloved heroes and villains, including SEVEN MEMBERS of the cast of Joss Whedon's masterful BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER! My inner fanboy is beyond elated at the thought of being in the same room as XANDER, SPIKE, CORDELIA, HARMONY, TARA, THE MASTER and GLORY all at once, SMG and Boreanaz be damned.


Nicholas (Xander Harris) Brennan and James (Spike) Marsters


If you are a Buffyphobe or just need more convincing, I have five words for you: Adam West and Burt Ward. BATMAN AND ROBIN! They of the anti-shark-repellant-spray! THE MAYOR OF FUCKING QUAHOG AND HIS BOY WARD!!!


Adam (Batman) West and Burt (Robin) Ward


There. I'm sure by now you're already purchasing tickets. And in case it's too expensive, maybe you can ask STEVE AUSTIN, aka THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN, aka LEE MAJORS, if he still has access to the kinda cash necessary to float you... That or ask that BARACK OBAMA guy for one of those loans he's always handing out, since he's appearing at a rally in the same building as all of these people on Saturday.... I know, wtf, right?

Tuesday, October 19th: Matthew Dear, Andre Obin, Coralcola and Volvox!

During that all that luxurious and plentiful free time I'm sure MATTHEW DEAR has at his disposal (that is, when he's not running two record labels, crafting epic sets for all your favorite podcasts and  remixing all your favorite bands), the GHOSTLY INTERNATIONAL and SPECTRE SOUND honcho has somehow managed to eke out four increasingly-singular albums of deep, minimal electronic dance music. Apparently bored with all that slacking off, he's decided to embark on an exhaustive tour, which will be stopping off in Allston towne to perform with a trio of Boston's freshest electronic tastemakers.

MATTHEW DEAR 

Endless Wave frontman ANDRE OBIN has a textured, shoegaze-influenced take on laid-back technopop which will be the perfect segue into Matthew Dear after CORALCOLA sets us all adrift on a sea of his glitchy, ambient dreamtunage. If one were to read this blog end to end, there is no doubt that it is Mikey "Coralcola" Lee whose events come up most disturbingly often. Mikey opened for Mount Kimbie last week and played a set of almost-entirely-brand-new jammy jams that got me all tingly in ways that assure my practice of over-covering his appearances will continue unabated well into 2011! One of those tracks is available now on the internets, so I'll just let y'all listen for yourselves...

CORALCOLA - Moistests Weathers


VOLVOX

I'm sure you will all show up to Great Scott promptly and READY TO DANCE, because this will be packed early and VOLVOX is spinning. I'm sure you've seen her at MAKE IT NEW, or HARUM SCARUM, or VISIONS, or NO TOMORROW, or in so-and-so's basement, or opening for DEADMAU5, or probably somewhere right now... So you're familiar with the way those little inflections of darker ebm and industrial beat can peak out of that minimal house and techno sheen... and you know that you can't deny them...
