BANDE À PART is a documentary record of the brilliant, anarchic spirit of downtown New York in the late 60s through the early 80s, photographed not by some journalist covering the ‘counterculture’, but by the participants themselves. These photographers lived the scene, and they have compiled their incredible shots of Blondie, Suicide, the Velvet Underground, the Ramones, the New York Dolls, the Talking Heads, Lou Reed, Patti Smith, Iggy Pop, and David Bowie, on stage, backstage and just messing around. BANDE À PART is Basquiat and Mapplethorpe, glam rock and No Wave, CBGBs, Max’s Kansas City and the Factory--an extraordinary record of a long-gone time and a place in New York City history.

don't call it a comeback: Ladies First Edition
not really CRAZY about the new kelis song....but i appreciate the fact that she's
going all ziggy stardust on us. always 2 steps ahead of you EDGY hoes.
sade. new album. February 10 release date. nuff said.
love this woman-girl hybrid. cutest thing ever. a real musician. a fucking survivor.
both nyc dates sold out weeks ago.
read the UK Times Review of her first show in 2 years.
last and definitely least Kid Sister
though this doesn't actually qualify as a comeback, since it took her 3 years to make this debut,
we'll call it a comeback anyway since she should've came out when this type of music was relevant.
nonetheless....file this one under I'LL PASS

Its a LOVELY DAY!
Rejoice!
Lovely Day has reopened.
After being closed for an entire year due to a fire in the building, its back in business slingin' awesome Thai to the masses.
I'm so happy about life right now.....if only we could get my beloved Teany to reopen.
Be still my beating heart. One miracle at a time.
