Radio Perfecto: CLOSED

Radio Perfecto, also commonly known on this blog as “the place next to RueB” is closed!

Opened in 98, serving the EV’s best darn roasted chicken and frites and some tasty G&T’s, Radio was an East Village staple where you could still get 3 plays on the jukebox for a dollar and chill out in […]

want a Second Life? sorta….

OK, so I know our president is complete moron, the Mets should have won Game 7, and we all want to be reincarnated as a women’s bicycle seat, but I just came across this website/game called Second Life that begs the question of “does my life really suck that bad?”

Imagine a game where you […]

CMJ 2006 Madness

Seems like everyone and their brother is having a CMJ show/party this year (including us). A bit of an overkill if you ask me, but I guess it does give us that extra chance to catch some of our favorite acts. Unlike SXSW, I’m trying not to go overboard next week and […]

Marie Antoinette - review

Well, good soundtracks don’t always mean good movies….apparently….

Saw the flick this weekend and was not impressed. good job of directing and some great scene shots, but the adaptation was very lacking of substance outside the beauty of Versailles and the opulence of the time.

The songs seemed very forced into the plot - almost like […]

120 Days + The Big Sleep + My Best Fiend | Fontana’s 10.23.06

Last night’s show at Fontana’s was the perfect start to the week. I was a little groggy when getting there, but wide awake and full of energy after the show thanks to the three excellent sets played by My Best Fiend, The Big Sleep, and 120 Days.

My Best Fiend warmed up the crowd with […]

Myspace | The Comedy Show

The geniuses at UCB Theater have put together a fantastic comedy show about the ridiculousness of MySpace (OK, so we have a page, but that’s just for the FRICTION bands).

Comedians Rob Huebel (Inconsiderate Cell Phone Man) and Paul Scheer (VH1’s Best Week Ever) along with other members from the group Respecto Montalban, […]

Skaterdater

Check out this great short from 1965 called Skaterdater. The film was nominated for an Oscar and won the Cannes prize for Best Short.

I love the after-school-special feel and the 60s surfer tunes. Barefoot with clay wheels…far out!

Midnight Movies | “Patient Eye”

Filter Magazine informs us that Los Angeles’ Midnight Movies have come out of hiding for the release of their new single “Patient Eye.” I couldn’t be happier with this news since I fell in love with their sound on their self-titled debut. The release of this single serves as a teaser for their […]

I just saw some of these photos - it is too incredible to not pass along. I tried on my lunch break and all I got was …

CBGB’s | One Night Later

There were no crowds, no media, no noise, no Debbie Harry, no Patti Smith, no Richard Hell, and certainly no music outside of CBGB’s last night. Instead the club stood as a shell of its former incarnation (literally) as the CBGB OMFUG awning that once dominated the intersection of Bowery and Bleeker for 33 […]

120 Days | NYC Dates

I can’t get enough of 120 Days self-titled debut. The four piece hailing from Kristiansund, Norway were denied entry into the States back in September, but worked out their visa issues and will be playing six shows throughout the city starting on Monday, October 23rd. Myself and a couple of […]
