Well Suited could very well become your favorite new band. Although the Montague-based group formed in 2010, they have a new lineup and a sound that's quite different from when they started in their teens. Currently, they are a six-piece band consisting of Dylan Bocon on vocals, Mackae Freeland and Mike Parker on guitars, Jake Lewis on bass, and brothers Ben and Corban Mailloux on drums and saxophone, respectively. The group, who recently released the EP "Five More Minutes," plays a unique brand of Americana that is made for dancing and singing along.

The Berkshire Mountains of western Massachusetts are among the oldest mountain formations in the country, continuing the Green Mountain Range from Vermont to the south. The Hilltowns are the eastern foothills of the Berkshires, with 22 sparsely populated towns, including the two western Franklin county towns of Ashfield and Shelburne. They are separated by approximately 10 miles as the crow flies, and over 800 feet of elevation; yet both are home to timeless, friendly seasonal farmers markets.

As a food writer, I am embarrassed to say that I’m never the first person in the area to discover a new restaurant. My culinary bent and my low income lead me to eat at home most of the time. Nevertheless, I do eventually hear from people I know about new eateries.

Here’s what infuriates me. The Democrats are screaming that Trump’s bill cuts Medicaid for millions for Americans. But if Nancy Pelosi’s Democratic Congress under Obama had given us nationalized health, like Obama wanted, and why he was elected, then there wouldn’t be any need for Medicaid. The Democrats under Obama failed the American people and that probably led directly to Trump getting elected. And now, they’re the ones who are supposed to save us from Trump? Sigh. Maybe there’s some hope with the Progressives though.

Welcome back to the dystopian present. While you were out, I began to lose my senses in a vast dysphoria of events ranging from descriptions of non-livable conditions in supposed migrant detention centers. Stephen Miller wants 3,000 victims plucked from the fields and warehoused in unlivable conditions: packed together on floors, inadequate health care, “the worst conditions…” It’s another big example of the problem. Violence against the innocents. I tried to imagine what it was like and had to stop. The New York Times article describes “one toilet for 35 to 40 men, who had no privacy.” That’s what’s happening.
