Part Time Man Of Rock

Former Buffalo Tom frontman Bill Janovitz contributed covers of "Please Come Home for Christmas" & "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?" to our Houndstooth Holiday Celebration.
Thanks Bill! Bill's blog is well worth your time. This week's "Cover of The Week" is Elvis Presley's "Loving You."

Loved The Tom. Back in the day I cornered Beggars Banquet head Martin Mills on Mike Stuto's roof & begged him to sign 'em. Ten years on was poised to worked their Smitten LP when the corporate geniuses decided to kill our wildly successful re-launch of Polydor Records. That one still stings. Bastards!

Another Harvard Sq. Instiution Bites The Dust

Literally. Most of The Houndstooth Gang has lived in/around Boston. I grew up on what was then the opposite end of The Red Line. For me Cambridge's Harvard Square was an easy, early & non-threatening escape fro Suburbia. My heart broke a bit when I learned Out-of-Town had closed. This week The Houndstooth Banner flies at half-staff for Brother Blue.
