ON THE WAY UP
: Stream the new docu-series Makin’ Friends with Ryan Miller as the frontman to the Somerville-born alt-rock band Guster meets the “high-functioning weirdos” one can only find in Vermont. As he lives up there now and splits his time between there, NYC, and LA, you can imagine his radar for weird has gotten pretty fine tuned.
