It's News too.......Me

I just called my parents up to give them the news that I was in the Jersey Journal (thankfully not in the Death Notices or Crime Section.) I didn't mention to them that I was quitting my job, I saved that for next week's family dinner. But yes, I am leaving my job at the Law Office to make a full pursuit out of full time second carreer, which used to be part time but will now move officially into full time status.

First, I have made some changes to my blog. Events that happen every week are now listed under the "Daily Flights", and what I'll try to do is just highlight events by day. For instance, tonight I will be back on my DJ shift @ The Lamp Post. I have also started "Future Missions" listings for upcoming events. By the way, I'll be working on my crappy layout next.

The Impulse's final show before Adam goes back to college will be Thursday Night @ Hank's Saloon in Brooklyn. Cheap Drinks and teh prospect that Adam is moving away, will most likley lead to great amounts of unspeakable behavior as well as a fine rock show. If you pass the outdoor bbq you've gone to far.

This Friday we have San Fransico and New York Graffiti artists, Trust Your Struggle Collective, taking over 58. Their works will fill the walls through the front gallery into the back room. We'll reveal the show this Friday from 7 to 11pm. DJ's Johny Paycheck and King Tres will spin for you. Also Ape Fight Plays at the Knitting Factory, the Super Karaoke Fun-Time Bands plays The Corkscrew, you sing after 10 pm., and No Pasaran plays at the Iron Monkey. Also, the Outside is playing at the Sound Lounge @ Jordan's Lounge on Newark Ave.

Also on Friday, Toy Eaters Sudio is having reception from 8 to 11 pm for Recent Paintings and Installation by Thomas John Carlson, acoustic performance by Joel Friedrich of Water under Water

On Saturday August 11th , American Watercolor Movement takes over Gallery Aferro in Newark, for the art. music, film presentation of 1938. The show starts at 8pm, a second show will be on the 18th and the band also plays Luan Lounge on teh 19th and Maxwell's on the 22nd with Toshack Highway and Hopewell. Gallery Aferro is 73 Market Street. Here's a write-up from the Daily Newarker

On Sunday, 58 is hosting our first Record and Craft Fair. Tables contact Cootah@gmail.com about renting a table for the event. I'll most likely need some help with Volleyball this week and next. Because we are planning a Rock and Broil BBQ for Sunday the 19th. Currently, Water under Water , Savu Sea are confirmed to play.

The Residue Art Gallery is available as an art work/live space. $1,500 a month (plus utilities - negotiable) Contact Jon Besante @ 201-420-0202.


























Dirty Details for all events


We said that you might get one more chance to see The Impulse before Adam moves to the beach. I’m pleased to report that we came through…

The Impulse (going away show)
Hank’s Saloon ( 46 3rd Ave @ Atlantic in Brooklyn )
Thursday, August 9, 2007 (that's this thurs)

Shows at Hanks are always a riot. The Impulse is recommending that you take off of work the next day to recover. +++ In other news:
We’re releasing a double A-side 45 with Arm the Girls/Run & Hide on Deranged Records. We’ll keep you posted on a release date.

Oh, it just keeps getting more out of hand...it's like these mannequins have lives of their own!

Last week's Gingham-O-Rama was just insane, with the swimsuit/apron bombshell and Little Bo Peep kidnapping a small child off the street and the firemen feeding ice cream to Jailbait...

WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT??!

Well, all we can tell you is that we have a couple of Jailbait's friends coming in as mannequins tomorrow and they'll look fabulous with their hair by Balance and fashions from World of Style. So grab some ice cream from Tocino's next door or grab a glass of wine on us and get a load of the hijinx in our window!

If you want a taste of what the fuss is all about, take a look at our
Myspace slideshow!

Ciao darlings,

Thank you to those who've attended. Thank you to the curious. Thanks to the musicians, artists, staffers, and general crazies who have been lending they're talents thus far. You are all appreciated, and our appreciation runs deeply.

Our toy eatin' trio has finally emptied our pockets of all random bits of paper, collected all the beer soaked bar napkins, and collated the spare bits and bytes of digital info flow, into one glorious pile of "those who are interested." We were left with a jumble of e-mails, phone numbers, and various pieces of offensive graffiti. And now we're putting them all to use.

...for those who haven't heard...

TheDanger, Lady Circus, Mean Red Productions RaindDanceNYC and the Hungry March Band invite you to:
LowDownTown
Another late-night adventure at SpiegelTent Pier 17 @ South Street Seaport : Manhattan This Saturday, August 11th : 11pm to 5am : $10
Details:
http://www.lowdowntown.com
Spiegel Tent is the world's most beautiful traveling venue. Imagine, magic and stained glass, smooth dance floors and decadent nooks within an antique performance tent set against breathtaking views of the Brooklyn Bridge.
The Famous Spiegeltent is the very essence of "kabaret salon" - an intimate traveling concert hall first built in the 1920's. Like every old theatre, her ghosts travel with her, woven into ballooning velvet canopies, circular teak dance floor and stained, cut-glass windows. Her intimate booths, ornate bar and beveled mirror columns hold a million secrets.
It must be experienced to be believed.
This Saturday, we have been invited back to host a late night escapade of wicked performance and dj dance bliss.
Featuring:
The Hungry March Band:
In their first party appearance after a successful European tour. The march band storms the pier at 12am with their inescapable mix of anarchist brass band antics. It's music made for sultry summer nights with the majesty of the Manhattan skyline providing our dramatic backdrop.
The Lady Circus:
Expect a performance riot of beauty and danger with side show circus acts, stilt walking sexual innuendo and indelicate moments of grandeur as the Lady Circus sets their unique brand of spectacle against the open-air beauty of the Spiegel Garden pier.
In the tent the DJ's start after 1am:
Fancy, the dj and producer of FannyPack lifted off the schoolyard dance sound that has swarmed the world. He has produced beats with heavy hitters from Wyclef Jean to the Baja Men and promises to bring the most gloriously sweaty dance mix to the smooth Spiegel Tent floor.
DJ Bruce Tantum of Brooklyn Radio brings in the sunrise with a dark mix of dancey house and classic selections.
All night long on the pier, Chris Annibel of Afrokinetics spins an extended set of culturally diverse beats from afrofunk, house, broken beat to soulful dub along with Amon on live percussion.
Plus, spontaneous acts of majesty by Akim Funk Buddha, Hookahs from Winkel Presents and exotic drinks at the SpiegelTent bar.
This Saturday, August 11th
11pm to 5am : only $10 : Strictly 21+
You must mention *LowDownTown* for entry.
The Spiegel Tent is on the north side of Pier 17 @ South Street Seaport : Manhattan
Take 2, 3, 4, 5, J, Z, or M to Fulton Street; A and C to Broadway-Nassau. Walk east on Fulton Street to the East River.

Hoboken, New Jersey


the official mumbojumbo:

Deny Everything- Plexiglas paintings by B. Musikoff

August 11 through September 15th the walls of Maxwells are hosting 20 images which illustrate a strong discontent associated with the cultural phenomenon of assimilation and xenophobia that New York City and it's surrounding areas have underwent. The safety of familiarity is challenged by unsettling juxtaposition presented on 24 x 30 pieces of Plexiglas which are painted entirely with latex matte opaque colors.

Brian Musikoff, 35, received his BFA in Animation and Illustration from The School of Visual Arts in 1995. As a direct result of the laborious process of animation cel painting he began experimenting with vinyl paints applied to the back of glass in large format over 10 years ago. All pieces shown in Deny Everything were created in 2007.
