The Massachusetts State House has one of the oldest public art collections in the country with more than 300 works — of which only 20 depict women. Here’s @gbhnews’s story on how Senate President Karen Spilka is trying to change that.

Pre-order day!

I've posted about this before: Hallelujah the Hills, a smart, hyper-literate #Boston power-pop combo, have written and recorded a QUADRUPLE ALBUM called "Deck," with one song for every card in a standard deck of playing cards. It is now available for pre-order.

If you buy the playing cards, you get the entire album (54 songs!) digitally for as little as $27.

These guys are great and their music is incredible. I can't recommend highly enough.
