I never thought we'd have a Mayor get so involved in something like this. I didn't see this sort of commitment from Marty Walsh, even when he had Joyce Linehan in his year.
Oh man that is amazing! Hadn't heard about that yet. That's an inconceivable amount of leadership in Boston. In Austin, I have a bunch of friends on a liason council between the city gov and the music biz and it's not perfect, but I always thought it was a fantastic endeavor that would be great in other cities. Its great to see this happening.
Sadly, in addition to the Sound Museum, the other Boston practice spaces in Charlestown are also closing and turning into self-storage in a few months. I used to enjoy listening to this one amazing grindcore band while taking my dog for walks near that building. I'll never know who they were but I so appreciated the noise they were sharing with their neighbors during the open windows summer months.
Yeah Glacier and Black Helicopter both practice there now and I don't know where they will end up.
On a positive note, did you see this?
