Jonathan Richman is doing a string of nights at the Mint December 8-10 (next week). I have a pair of tickets for an AD reader for the night of the 8th. Leave a comment below with your name and email to enter. Also, separately, enter to win the Vapor Records Richman discography on CD or vinyl.
I used to listen to Jonathan Richman as I trudged through the snow near Government Center, where they ‘put the stamps on the letters.’ Bring me back to Boston in spirit, please!

28 | Mike December 3rd, 2009 at 5:40 pmI recently took my first trip to Boston. Walking the streets and riding the subway to places like “Government Center” brought all these Jonathan Richman songs into perspective. I kept hearing them in my head through my whole trip.

discography please!
42 | public school whitey December 5th, 2009 at 2:07 pmI’d like to enter the draw for the CD discography.
I first saw JoJo 15 years ago in London, doing a solo show in a room above The Garage. I was blown aware – amazing songs and a mesmerising performance. I’ve seen him a few times since and it’s always a fun night out. Last year in Dublin was one of the most amazing times, when he played so many fun songs and was battling with a noisy crowd, then right at the end he played “As My Mother Lays Lying”, a beautiful paean to his dying mother – such brutal honesty – I was floored. Astonishing !
43 | Blue Koyote December 5th, 2009 at 2:13 pmWas into Jonathon Richman as a teen in the late 70′s “Radio radio and eygption reggie” (sp) Love to get the CDS. Oh yeah Monster on the bus!
