Other favourite videos: What’s Love Got To Do With It?, Ode to Optophobia & most of all, I Get Ideas (When We Are Dancing)

I don’t think Sonic Youth has featured on this blog yet, which seems a bit of an oversight on my part. Not that, now I’m mentioning them, I can think of anything intelligent to say.
When I was 17, I thought New York City sounded like Washing Machine & women in New [...]
Those were the reasons and that was New York

the Gossip in NYC, Originally uploaded by Spattz
Stopped at Real Groovy on the way home from the mailbox and found Undead in NYC, a 2003 live EP by the Gossip. They’re usually on the other side of America & they’ll probably be in Europe when we’re in NY, but the live recording connects them [...]

Danced to this with Kerry, late one night / early one morning in Wellington, a couple of months ago – one of the highlights of a slightly patchy appearance by DJ Vadim. Danced some more, then went for 4am falafels and back to K’s for sleep.
This weekend she was in my [...]

Karaoke Dokey!, Originally uploaded by Muppitz
Karaoke last night at Andrew’s opening was full of NY-related duets with B. Completely failed at “New York, New York” (sorry Frankie, the Cat Power version has spoiled me for remembering what the actual tune is), and didn’t do much better with Englishman in New York (sorry, Quentin). Later, [...]

I joined a mailing list called Nonsense NYC, which sounded worthwhile: “a discriminating resource for independent art, weird events, strange happenings, unique parties, and senseless culture in New York City.”
& here is something it told me about this week: the Main Squeeze Orchestra. They’re apparently “the only all-female accordion ensemble [...]

Nina Nastasia, Originally uploaded by abbyladybug
If this trip was a fillum, Nina Nastasia would feature on the soundtrack – she lives in New York and sings perfect urban folk songs. I saw her in Auckland last year, playing with Jim White at the Schooner Tavern’s last night. Youtube has “In the Evening” from that [...]

Cat Power singing about New York on French TV:
I’ve had her recording of this song stuck in my head for the last couple of weeks.
