VIDEO: Malden Man Lands Interview with Dropkick Murphys Singer

Local video editor Michael Cloherty conducted the interview on his YouTube program, "Beer Bloggles."

A Malden man's YouTube show got a shot of star power last month, after landing an interview with a local punk music legend.  "Beer Bloggles" host Mike Cloherty produces the show as an occasional hobby, but still managed to get some face time with Dropkick Murphys singer-bassist Ken Casey. The show mostly focuses on the Boston beer brewing scene, though Cloherty thought the opportunity to interview a musical idol was too good to pass up.  “Just like craft beer, I am a sports and music fan as well,” Cloherty wrote in an e-mail. “I saw interviewing Casey ...as a combination of all three. “The (Boston-based) band is so connected to the local sports teams, especially the Red Sox and Bruins...(So) I was able to chat with the leader of a band I …

You Know It's (Really, Really) Cold Out When ...

Fill in the blank with your clever, witty, or just really accurate descriptions.

It's winter in New England. And winter in New England is cold. We know this. But right now, we're at the beginning of an extra cold stretch. Wednesday and Thursday night's wind chill values were as low as -10 in Malden, but should stablilize around 20 degrees on Friday. With this cold snap, we figured you could help warm your fingers by typing an ending to the beginning of this sentence: "You know it's cold out when..."  What can you contribute? Finish the sentence in the comments below.

New Smart Phone App To Help Malden

App will allow residents to report quality of life issues instantly.

Reporting quality of life issues will be just a finger-tap away in the city of Malden, thanks to a new smart phone app expected to launch in the spring of 2013. The app—Commonwealth Connect—by company SeeClickFix, will give residents the ability to report "quality of life" issues in Melrose by taking photos and submitting them, along with information, through the app. What issues fall under quality of life? With the app, residents will be able to track the progress of the "work order," which is submitted to the appropriate city department. The app has been in use in the city of Boston under the name CitizensConnect since 2009. “I am a strong believer that government is here to help people,” said Boston Mayor Thomas M.
