HILLY KRISTAL R.I.P


Above: CBGB conference room pic

This pertains to my subculture so i have decided to repost since this man paved the way for punk rock by providing a venue like CBGB in nyc for acts like Blondie, The Ramones, Patti Smith, Talking Heads, etc... (The list goes on & on) It's always cool when a venue owner looks past what's not really cool at the time & allows something new & original to have an outlet at their venue. Hilly Kristal did just that while disco was contaminating the airwaves and clubs in the 70's. Hilly went against the grain and allowed his venue to become the outlet for a new era of music, and for that i will always respect him. Hilly Kristal, died on Tuesday, August 28, 2007 from complications from Lung Cancer. Kristal, 75,founded the legendary club CBGB and ran the club for 33 years.

MY BLOODY VALENTINE

Reuniting?

So the rumors that one of my favorite bands is reuniting for next years coachella fest. No not The Smiths, i already addressed that in a previous post. Instead it's "MY BLOODY VALENTINE" Coachella is known for getting it's way and they have the funds to pretty much re-unite any band. Let's see if this one happens, till then here is some nostalgia.

BAT FOR LASHES

So when i first heard "Bat for Lashes" i wasn't a real big fan. I thought a bit too folky. Too much on the Tori Amos tip, yes i hate Tori Amos. Sorry hate is a strong word, but all those ladies on pianos in the 1990's was just too much and overated (Jewel, Sarah Mclachlan, and the ever popular Tori Amos) Sorry all you piano loving lady singer fans.BUT! then came this single, which i found sounds nothing like the other tracks by Natasha Khan of Bat for Lashes "Whats a girl to do" has more layers & has this ghost like feel. You get the same feeling when you watch the video. The video is great & comes with animal masked bmx riders. It was directed by: Dougal Wilson

MORRISSEY DOESN'T NEED 75 MIL

Morrissey says "No" to reunite The Smiths (AGAIN!!!)


Billboard (Reliable source) stated:
Morrissey's publicist has confirmed the artist refused a $75 million offer to tour under the Smiths name in 2008 and/or 2009, with the only mandate being that Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr would be part of the band. The Smiths also declined a multi-million dollar offer to perform in recent years at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, Calif.

Atleast we will always have the videos:

VICE MAGAZINE PARTY X BLACK LIPSTICK

So change in plans for this Thurs. re-launch of "BLACK LIPSTICK"
Upstairs at Set. Due to unforseen circumstances Bronques of lastnightsparty will have to reschedule for next week or possibly after fashion week in NYC. But fear not-We actually took it up a notch and brought VICE onboard. We will be celebrating the launch of "DEAR DIARY" by Lesly Arfin. Join us , Lesly Arfin & The VICE Family on the dancefloor!

HEARTSREVOLUTION

I'm mainly posting this vid because i like the production on it, infact these are the people responsible:

Directed & retouched by Jean Demery

-Model photography by Bastien Lattanzio
-Additional photography by Podolux & Cassidy Curtis
-Model Stylism by Guillaume Berg

The music is pretty generic, girl singing over electro beats. The video is definit. worth watching and this version of the song is better then others i have heard. Thanks Discobelle!!!



"I'M NOT THERE" OFFICIAL TEASER

SUPERBAD

Ok so on Saturday night i made the best decision for my night time plans. Me and a group of friends went to see the movie "SUPERBAD" Now i'm glad i didn't pay attention to the trailors or commericials on this one, since it's being pushed as another high shool teen movie. I problaby would have rejected the idea of even seeing it based on the way the movie is being marketed. This is not an "American Pie" instead the humor is real, sarcastic, and not even funny at times. Which is what happens in real life, not all jokes are funny but the expressions or scenerios are. That's what makes this movie great, i would see it again. And yes! i know who directed it and wrote it, blah blah blah. So in honor of problaby the funniest movie of the summer here is a plug.

CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG

Charlotte Gainsbourg is the french product of the late Serge Gainsbourg & Jane Birkin. Like Serge she has decided to create music ,recently (kinda) she put out a record with colabs w/AIR & Jarvis Cocker of Pulp fame. You can definit. hear the Air influence, the music sounds entirely like AIR with her singing on it. But her voice is all that really matters it's kinda scary to hear her father's influence. Serg left us with countless musical masterpieces & his greatest masterpiece his daughter!


Above: Charlotte Gainsbourg-The Operation vid

PS: You might recognize Charlotte from the movie "The Science of Sleep" She has been acting since the 80's on and off.

I decided to add below a Serge Gainsbourg vid for the population of musically challenged.

R.I.P THE MARK

So it looks like i have internet again (for now)...

THE MARK a small venue on the beach where i used to throw my wed. party DAMAGED! and later on BLACK LIPSTICK thurs. has officially closed. According to the venue's management the new owners that bought the blding (not the bar) just were not feeling the mark and also were not happy with the financials (lease) So long story short, When the people that own the blding want you out they will eventually get their way.

Good times were had at the mark & many memories for the record books. The management and bartendars were always cool and i wish them the best in whatever ventures they all pursue.

As for BLACK LIPSTICK THURS.
here is a preview for next weeks launch...


PS: Sorry for posting BL was on last week, i was not told they were not opening up the mark until 2hr prior to opening. Sorry for all those that drove out there to find chained doors. Kinda funny though.

THURSDAY MIAMI

So this is my first real post in 2 weeks, since then i have moved back to Miami Beach. I will miss downtown Miami but truthfully with all the condo boom and the prices of rent skyrocketing it's not worth living in downtown. Not to mention they are neglecting to build restaurants and other basic needs in that area which make life a bitch. More on my moving details later in a future post...as for tonight!

STILL NO INTERNET

So i'm without internet at my new place till god knows when, and my power chord to my computer died on me last week. So in short i'm double fucked. I'm currenty stealing wireless from an un disclosed location to briefly post this-so in the coming week if you spot me at free internet cafe don't laugh just appreciate that i'm making the effort.
