For more on art, let me suggest that you read Nyugen Smith's "A-list", a collection and calender of reviews of local artist's and exhibits. I am going to add it to my links and would suggest that you check this out: In this issue of the "A List!" you will find out where to see the latest large scale Bundle House, take another trip to 58 Gallery in Solace, review Beyond the Horizon and check out 3 artists I'm digging these days. Enough...check the link and let me know what you think. http://www.nyugensmith.com/alistonline.html
On Tuesday, I went out to the "everything gones green" after party at Room Service (NYC) . DJ William McCamie, Deeja and Lex were on the Bongos and there was Lighting by Norm Francoeur. Besides branding (aka hanging posters) I got to meet the star of the film and enjoy the the fine complimentary food and drink. Thanks Tara and Laura !! The actual opening for the film is this Friday at the Landmark's Sunshine Cinema @ 143 East Houston (btw 1st and 2nd ave). There will be a Q&A with the director and the actors after the 7 and 9:30 showings.

#1. I will be rocking both sets.
#2. Also on the bill – Illinois (9PM) & The Oranges Band (8PM). I won’t be playing with those two groups, unless some spirit of entropy possesses me to take the stage unauthorized. It could happen.
#3. This is the release event for Palomar’s All Things, Forests – or, as I like to call it, the album of 2007. It is the album of year in the same way that 2007 is the Chinese Year of the Pig: it just is, as an incontrovertible fact that permeates the backdrop of our lives. Don’t leave without a copy.
#4. The show will almost certainly sell out. Get there early!
#5. It’ll be the first full-strength Kapow! gig in a year. And full-strength Kapow! is pretty damned potent.
#6. I am not sure when a show this great will happen again. It could be never.
Okay, see you there,

"It is a truism in tarot work that Card 13 rarely has anything to do with physical death. A responsible card reader never interprets Card 13 in this way because this view is too limiting. Death is not something that happens once to our bodies. It happens continually, at many levels and not just in the physical. Each moment we die to the present so the future can unfold."

Tony,We're going to be playing Club Midway this coming Sunday night, the 15th of April, at 11pm. I tell you this because:1) Maybe you'd like to come get down?2) Maybe if it were to appear in the docket it might catch the interest of anyone who saw us at 58? No hard feelings if you don't think it fits the usual listings that you put up.I would have loved to have come by Saturday but I moved in to the new place, got very drunk with my roommates, and we played capoeira in the living room. I put a small hole in the wall with my heel. I already love this place. Gotta get you to Newark soon. If nothing is going down on your Saturday night (which I highly doubt), there's Filmideo at Redsaw. Peas,Billy----The MeltdownsSun April 15th 11pmClub Midway25 Avenue B (just north of Houston)NY NY

Timeless Romance at the Loew’s Jersey – Fri-Sat, Apr 27-28Posted by: "solan" mailto:loewsjersey@gmail.com?Subject=solan
Fri Apr 13, 2007 5:55 am (PST)
The joy of finding love is equaled in intensity only by the despair offearing that it is not meant to last. Little wonder, then, that someof the finest literature and greatest movies are about lovetranscending time. This month, the LandmarkLoew's Jersey presents three of the most legendary such films.Friday, April 27 at 8PMWuthering HeightsStarring Laurence Olivier & Merle Oberon. Directed by William Wyler.(1939, 110mins.)Though repeatedly re-made, this is considered the definitive versionof Emily Bronte's classic novel. Olivier and Oberon give outstandingperformances in this story of love, loss and time. The legendaryscreen-writing team of Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur wrote thescript, with uncredited input from John Huston. A timeless classicnot to be missed by lovers of film.Saturday, April 28: Portrait of JennieMatinee at 2:30PMEncore screening at 6:30PMStarring Jennifer Jones, Joseph Cotton, Ethel Barrymore. Directed byWilliam Dieterle. (1949, 86 mins.)A story of love and a rift in time, Portrait of Jennie is bothtouching and haunting, and the kind of film that stays with you forever. Mostly overlooked when released, it is now considered a greatromantic fantasy and one of Selznick's best films. It boastswonderful performances by Jennifer Jones (arguably her finest work),Joseph Cotton, Ethel Barrymore and others, beautiful cinematographythat includes outstanding, on location views of wintry New York, and ahaunting score. Don't miss this rear chance to see this classic onthe big screen.Saturday, April 28 at 8:40PMSomewhere In TimeStarring Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour and Christopher Plummer.(1980, 103mins.) Anyone who has ever fallen in love against long odds will embrace thisstory of love in defiance of time itself. Made in 1980, the film wasa throwback to the kind of romantic fantasies made decades earlier(such as Portrait of Jennie), having few special effects and relyinginstead on the chemistry of its cast. Seymore and Reeve make one ofthe screen's most memorable couples. Reeve's performance is all themore memorable and touching given his tragically shortened career. Like Portrait of Jennie thirty years before, this movie was paned andignored when released. But in the years since, it has built anear-cult following, and is considered a modern romantic classic.Each screening is $6 for adults, $4 for seniors & children 12 yearsold and younger. Combo discounts for two or more screenings areavailable.For directions or more information, call (201) 798-6055 or visitwww.loewsjersey.org.
