    Hell froze over. <a href="http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/12/11/rush-public-enemy-and-heart-to-join-rock-hall-of-fame/" target="_blank">Rush is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame</a>.

  3. Rocker at the Gate: Shredder Tony Spada Gigs With the Hartford Symphony Orchestra

  4. Cheap Time's Half-Sugary, Half-Sour Garage Pop Arrives at Cafe Nine on Sept. 30

    <span style="font-size: medium;">In 1989, a four-ish-year-old Jeffrey Novak scored the <em>Ghostbusters II</em> soundtrack &mdash; his first record purchase. The album, which featured contributions from Bobby Brown, Run-D.M.C. and Elton John, did not change his life &mdash; at least not in the way music types mean when they say such a thing. It was no loss, really, as he had a long line of subsequent favorites to do the heavy lifting. In elementary school, the Henderson, Tenn.-raised Novak visited antique and thrift stores with his parents, procuring work from the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and the Doors. Around this period, he also enjoyed the fruits of mid-1990s (namely, Green Day's <em>Dookie</em> and the Smashing Pumpkins in their prime). In junior high, contemporary rock fell out of favor with him, but when he entered high school circa 2001 &mdash; right as the White Stripes and the Strokes pumped fresh blood into garage and indie rock &mdash; he was right back in the thick of things, now intent on firing up a band of his own. At the time, he also began absorbing punk acts like the Sex Pistols and Ramones, and proto-punk outfits such as the Velvet Underground and the Stooges. &ldquo;Once I heard proto-punk bands, I understood these weird bands that really didn't fit in their time. That still speaks to me,&rdquo; the fast-talking Novak, now 27, says. &ldquo;I'm always trying to find out about records that exist from the late '60s into the mid-to-late '70s. I think that's the most interesting era for music and the way records sound.&rdquo;</span>

  8. Delicate Steve opens for tUnE-yArDs at Pearl Street in Northampton on June 14

    <span style="font-size: medium;">Delicate Steve -- it&rsquo;s a great band name (actually, kinda brilliant), but it&rsquo;s also fitting. Steve Marion&rsquo;s music is delicate, and that&rsquo;s saying something, considering it&rsquo;s mostly driven by layers of clean and distorted guitars, overdubbed onto tribal grooves and occasionally surrounded by wordless vocal harmonies.</span>

  10. Lumineers specialize in audience participation

    A few weeks ago, the Lumineers were in the midst of the South by Southwest shuffle. The Denver band was playing a quick gig at a makeshift concert venue during the annual music conference: a downtown church in Austin, Texas. Amps and microphones were in place near the altar, but the Denver band abandoned them to stand on pews and wander the aisles. The group thrashed away on their instruments and invited the audience to sing with them, setting up a rousing call-and-response that made the lack of amplification irrelevant.
