If you dream of the bygone age of rock ‘n’ roll when music was cool and photos were retro without iPhone apps, The Dead Trees might be for you. The self-assigned wandering nomads Michael Ian Cummings, Todd Dalhoff, Matthew Borg, and Noah Rubin started the band in Boston.

NEW YORK — A move by Google to acquire mobile phone manufacturer Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion , announced early Monday, will likely draw sharp scrutiny from federal antitrust regulators already engaged in a probe of the search giant’s business practices, analysts said.
