Throwing Muses

Tanya Donelly and the Parkington Sisters

Tanya Donelly, solo artist and star of monumental bands such as Throwing Muses, The Breeders and Belly, has teamed up with the Parkington Sisters, a trio from Cape Cod.

An album of covers is scheduled for August. Expect songs by Leonard Cohen, Kirsty MacColl, Echo & The Bunnymen, Wings, Pretenders, Mary Margaret O’Hara, Linda Rondstadt, and Split Enz.

Here they perform Automatic by the Go-Gos.

Automatic

Boston

In December I was asked to put together a compilation of Boston artists as a soundtrack for the Boston Music Awards’ celebration.

While no means comprehensive (there are some noticeable absences), it is a cross-section of some of Boston’s finest if not quirkiest musicians over the years, and includes some of the best songs to emanate from this fair city.

As we await the release of new music in 2011, hear the diversified talent that is Boston.
