HARVARD MAYFAIR
Oh hey! The Harvard Square Mayfair! That’s today! Huh. That’s so funny, us over in the edit pit were just having a conversation about the mythic origins of these spring festivals … and come to think of it, not a single word of it should make it to print. So, go on, ignore the slightly ominous wording of this teensy little write-on, and enjoy all that free fun and great music! Heck of a lineup, too, there’s Viva Viva, Spirit Kid, Grownup Noise, Phallic Symbol, Blood Rite—well, whoops. Those last two aren’t bands at all! It … really would be best if you just ignored that. Really.
