Dot Rat Baseball – 1957

Dot Rat Baseball – 1957

This is the time of year I start craving baseball. You know all those huge fields all over Dorchester? At one time, they were used for baseball instead of soccer. The Boston Park League was so popular at one time, 5000 people would show up

Live from Rino’s…

I don’t know about you, but there is no other food on the planet I love more than Italian. Even for an Irish lad, I consider myself pretty versed in Italian/American cuisine. Sh*tty commute aside, when I worked on the North Shore I was able

You gotta fill your need for Beastie Boys material any way you can. Why not mash it up with the Beatles….

The Beastles

Bob Cronin, known by the moniker dj BC, is a Boston-bred, Atlanta based mash-up DJ. BC’s work has been heard on radio and television internationally.

dj BC received both acclaim and controversy after his release of the self-made albums “The Beastles” and “Let it Beast,” by The Beastles, a fictional band represented with the mash up of music from The Beatles and the Beastie Boys. Both albums have since been removed. Some tracks from the first Beastles album, along with other dj BC mashups and Beastie Boys bootlegs, were included on a rare 2-Part limited vinyl release by the Japanese record label Hotshot Records.

So I’m driving through traffic the other day when all of a sudden I hear this incredible roar that seemed to fill the street. I start to scan the road when I lock on to my rear view mirror. Here comes this massive orange and 

Caught in the act…

Caught in the act…

Check out this dude in Andrew Square that mounted a small cam on his front door to keep an eye on things. Some drunk kids decide to hose down his front stairs the other night, so he decides to regulate. I love how he casually walks down the street with his paper towels and says “here ya go”….then tells the kid if tries it again he will get knocked the fork out. The kid knew he meant business too…

Good for this guy..who really wants the front of their house smelling like the old Broadway station?

Lets go sledding!

It was a cold morning on the top of Popes Hill in our year of The Lord nineteen hundred and eighty two. School was cancelled down at the Murphy, and yours truly was staring down into Hemey Park holding my brand new inflatable sled. The
