Boston Counter Cultural Compass – JUL 11

KLYAM has a neat calendar of shows that we plan on attending or, at the very least, recommend to others. The Boston Counter Cultural Compass has an even better publication that details quite a gamut of gigs every month. A good chunk of the listings are area punk houses and basements [what we folks like to call the underground underground] so please do get in touch with the BCCC or BCCCers (new term, maybe?) for information on locales. This is a great source for local music happenings — perhaps the best. They have a constantly updated Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Boston-Counter-Cultural-Compass/137506276302253?ref=ts and a website: http://www.bostoncccompass.com/.

Aaron Sorkin on The Social Network

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGVFvoMC46g

The Social Network (2010) was my favorite film from last year (should have won Best Picture!) and one of my all time favorites in general and much of  that admiration is a result of Aaron Sorkin’s brilliant screenplay. His script has inspired my own writing as I am starting my first forays into seriously writing fiction.

Here’s my review of The Social Network from last year. It’s not one of my best, but check it out anyway.
