Deb’s Diner featured on Diner Wednesday

In case you didn’t get a chance to see Fox 25 this morning, VB made a field trip to the Pilgrim Diner right here in Salem.

It seems those guys at the fair and balanced news station love our little town. They have done zip trips here and a plethora of charity events. We hope you like this clip.

Video Tuesday: Cherry S/T

With Christmas around the corner and the temps dropping I thought it was a perfect day to showcase this hot video.

Cherry S/T is a real treat of a local band. You can catch them over at Dodge Street fairly often, where they put on a hell of a live show.

This track “Erase You” is an old one but still gives you a bit of the bands flavor. If you like it make sure you see them live. If you think it sucks, let us know of a local band you like an maybe we will show case their video here next time.

Video Tuesday: Orange Nicole – Cleveland

There is some great musical talent in Salem. After our last video segment posted we received a flood of emails about local talent. Today we are showcasing the super cute singer/songwriter Orange Nicole. Her warm friendly voice just makes you want to drift off…

Nicole is off to Europe in the new year with some shows in London so catch her locally when you can.

If you like her music you can find more of it on her myspace page and buy a CD or two over at Fools Mansion.

Video Wednesday: Don’t Burn The Witch

Some local music fan sent me this gem. Channeling 80′s hairbands Salem’s own Grateful Ted of Britannica drops this video, Don’t Burn The Witch. Filmed on location in Salem with some local hotties.

Video Monday: Aly and Aj

Apparently female teenie-boppers Aly and AJ stumbled into our city recently and found their way to Derby Books, one of my favorite bookstores. Yes it’s a freaking mess and you can’t find anything there but that’s why we love it so much. They also found out you should ask first – then video tape.

Video Wednesday: Mixin’ it up

Film maker Mark Lovett recently put together this piece showcasing Salem’s own Radio Scotvoid and Noel Snow live at Gulu Gulu Cafe. It shows you a little of what you are missing if you don’t get out there and enjoy what Salem has to offer.

Got a video that shows off Salem or some of its talented people? Let us know.

Video Sunday: Bad Cop

Glen Hughes — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 19:26:46 +0000

With the astronomical increase of people to Salem each weekend in October the cops are cracking down. You might remember that in a recent article about the night life here we mentioned how Salem was booming on weekend nights. The downside to our bars and restaurants being packed with revelers is that some tend to over imbibe and a random few show up only to cause trouble. Whatever the circumstances its best to mind your P’s and Q’s because a random few coppers aren’t going to take any flack what so ever.

We would love to see the entire event in order to see what transpired to provoke this police officer to take the actions he did. And as such we are not pointing fingers only spreading a word of warning.

Video Thursday

Glen Hughes — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 14:37:38 +0000

I see lots of talent around Salem, there are artists, musicians, dancers, actors – practically any art form you can think of has a practitioner here in town. Recently Radio Scotvoid who we dubbed “The hardest working man in Salem’s music scene” sent us a video from his upcoming EP, Fragment (Consider Revising).

Music: Radio Scotvoid

Cello/Bass : Mike Miksis

Filmed by: Tony Lika on location in Salem MA
