"Basically, eBay paid for our record," says Nick. "Our first song was 'Reboot,' and since then, we've branched out into different types of new wave and pop. We knew Anthony could take it to the next level."

It helps when you have the hooks, even those born from metal.

On World Coming Down, Type O Negative's 1999 musical exercise in morbidity, the New York doom-metal band closed with a cover of the Beatles' "Day Tripper," again showing off late frontman Peter Steele's obsession with darkening up some of music's more-porcelain pop nuggets.

REVIEW: STAFF MEAL
A few years ago, Boston's street-food universe was tightly limited in scope, ambition, and geography. There was little to see beyond a few trucks and carts peddling so-so hot dogs, burritos, and American-Chinese fare, mostly in Downtown Crossing and around the MIT campus.
