Funk, Frivolity, and Florida History in Key West
Key West, Florida, is more than a place. It’s a spirit, a funky energy that enters your soul and takes residence in your worldview as well as your inner vision. A state of mind more than a city; a way of life more than a place to live. It’s a lifestyle, not a destination. All expressed in the absurdist poetry that is Key West, a language not spoken anywhere else in the country.
But even recognizing all this, I didn’t fully have a grasp on the essence of the town until I spotted several older men playing bocce ball. I asked another observer if lawn bowling is popular because many people of Italian descent live in Key West.

I’ll address this right now: ‘The Black Parade’ ain’t here. There’s just no need for it to be. We all know that album, we all know My Chemical Romance, we’re all familiar with those songs. It’s a given! To the point that allowing ‘The Black Parade’ a spot here – as much as I love it and MCR – would yank the limelight away from other stellar releases from this year. So with that little formality out the way, let’s jump into our time machines and shoot back 15 years for 15 great albums that helped to truly define ’06.

EASTHAMPTON A perfume store on Cottage Street is bringing new, locally made scents into the air in Easthampton.
Owner and perfumer James Barry opened TSVGA Perfvms (pronounced “soo-guh perfumes” and named for the tsuga genus of evergreen trees) at 32 Cottage St. in January, where he mixes and sells “niche perfumery.”
Barry, an Easthampton resident who works as a therapist during the day, mixes perfumes that focus on natural, higher-quality ingredients than what would typically be seen in designer store products. These niche perfumes typically come in smaller bottles but at higher concentrations, Barry said, and “a little goes a long way.”
