Marc Hirsh
Marc Hirsh lives in the Boston area, where he indulges in the magic trinity of improv comedy, competitive adult four square and music journalism. He has won trophies for one of these, but refuses to say which.
He writes for the Boston Globe and has also been spotted on MSNBC and in the pages of Amplifier, the Nashville Scene, the Baltimore City Paper and Space City Rock, where he is the co-publisher and managing editor.
He once danced onstage with The Flaming Lips while dressed as a giant frog. It was very warm.

World/Inferno Friendship Society's countless members convene around Jack Terricloth, whose grinning, genial stage persona only amplifies what appears to be a sinister intent. It should be a mess, but it coalesces instead into a combination of Bruce Springsteen, The Pogues and the noise the devil makes as cities burn. -
One of the best albums of the '80s, and certainly one of the most unjustly overlooked, Gregson and Collister's Home and Away has finally received the reissue it's long deserved. It's a spare, gorgeous record, and no song is more spare or gorgeous than "All the Time in the World." -
As introductions go, The Duke Spirit's "Cuts Across the Land" is a strong one. It's the sound of five different noisemakers playing essentially the exact same part, presenting the band as a single, unitary creature fueled by its own momentum.
