Michael Rothfeld along his roommates Josh Stein and Paul Sepuya have developed an interesting artist's collective called the Guild the Lily. GtL will be throwing a fundraiser this weekend in Bushwick for their upcoming debut exhibition titled" We have in our minds, pictures, called ideas; aka the Let's Make Pretty Things show" which you should all check out on July 15th in the L.E.S. Check out their website for details. As for the party, it will be a rager this Saturday in the famed McKibben building and for only 5bones you can drink your weight in booze. So mark the date. I'll be heading out to this party after the Dirty On Purpose set at the Mercury Lounge. Click on the flyer for a larger and clearer version of the flyer:
In the midst of a new report that Al-Qiada was planning to hit the U.S. one shopping mall at a time, I decided it was time to finish watching the original version of The Manchurian Candidate staring Frank Sinatra and Janet Leigh who is quite the looker. Her hotness was better displayed in Psycho and Touch of Evil. Anyway, this classic film has a lot of nods to late noir, but it’s the story that takes center stage. The story involves soldiers who are returning from war, one of which is a trained assassin and another who is trying to decode the spell the former soldier is placed under. There is a modern version of this film coming out soon, but skip it and check out the real deal. It’s worth your time.
Noah stopped in for a few before Hawkins, Kyle and I went to 7A for a quick bite to eat. Have you eaten their avocado tuna melt yet? If not, go, nay, run to 7A and eat it off a toasted English muffin because its tits. We parted ways with Kyle and headed to Bar 13 to meet up with Becky and some kids for her birthday. Upon arriving at the bar I walked into a bunch of people holding up scoring cards. I asked the bartender if upstairs was open, but she informed me that I had stumbled into a private poetry reading. Some people scoffed at me as I made my exit. The kids had moved to Reservoir which is a lame bar, but it was in the neighborhood. Becky, Christine, Kashia, Christina, Frank and Mike were all having drinks when we showed up. We had a hoot over there until close to midnight at which point we scooted over to Frank’s, but Hawk and I decided to slide on home.
If you are in the L.E.S. today around 6:30 and you want to play some basketball, we will be gaming at the courts on Norfolk and Rivington. Come by make it a game.
- After a near flawless record, Bonnaroo's good name gets a bit of tarnish due to the death's of two festival goers. Why do hippies have to push their luck. They only had to deal with 90 degree heat. We were battling 107 degrees in Coachella. It's a damn shame.
- This isn't news, but check out this firefighter's tattoo. Can you say intense?
- The Vines attempt to pull a Libertines. They have canceled their tour with Incubus after sighting "Mental and Physical Exhaustion." This came after the Sydney show where their bassist bailed after the first song. The most intriguing part of this story is that CNN picked it up. Speaking of pulling a Libertine, Pete Libertine decided he couldn't handle the Thai rehab joint and decided smack is awesome.
- In case you haven't seen it yet, check out the trailer for Michael Moore's new film Fahrenheit 9/11, (thanks Builder).
- Pitchfork reports on the new Pixies track Bam Thwok which is available only through iTunes. There is also word of a new Faint album on the way in mid-September, but don't read that report because it is lame hipster bullshit that doesn't want to be hipster but is by default, (does that make sense). They also seem to like the new Beastie Boys' album, but isn't it kind of hard to tell?
- 50 Cent is tough as nails. I wonder how long before he is hanging with Biggie and Tupac?
- This is a great editorial piece from Chuck Klosterman at Spin. Did anyone see that episode of Queer Eye where Chuck got his Ave A apartment remodeled? Yeah, I did.
