Clipse travel to Middle East
When Clipse's "Hell Hath No Fury" was released in the waning months of 2006 after years of being held back by label squabbles, it immediately earned its place on seemingly every critic and blogger's year end top ten. While most highly hyped albums end up being unfocused and overly ambitious (think The Killers' "Sam's Town"), "Fury" is tight and never strays far from the well-worn path of coke-dealing narratives. Even though we've heard the subject matter from just about every other rapper, thanks to Pusha T and Malice's laser-guided rhymes and the Neptune's space-age production it never sounds played out.
Next week you can see if the tense, nervous energy channeled onto the immaculately produced "Fury" can translate into a live setting when the duo performs downstairs at the Middle East on Monday, Feb. 26 with opener Low B. Tickets are $20 when bought in advance, $22 at the door.
Bostonians conquer city-wide hunger through brunch
The month of February is Boston's Super Hunger month, benefiting the Boston food bank through many events and activities. This weekend, Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 25-26, many of Boston's most reputable restaurants are participating in the Super Hunger Brunch.
Depending on the restaurant of interest, tickets are either $25 or $50 per person with all proceeds going to hunger relief efforts. A list of participating restaurants is on http://www.gbfb.org/shm/brunch.html, with a selection of locations in the Cambridge and downtown Boston areas. This is the perfect way to redeem yourself after a night of drunken debauchery - helping the hungry and homeless by eating a fantastic, upscale brunch.
