‘tv party’ was a punk cable show hosted by andy warhol’s associate glenn o’brien as well as chris stein (blondie’s guitarist). here we have blain (violin) and steven (keyboard) peter (bass). you can get the series on dvd or on netflix, just search for TV party and then sit and wonder what happened to our music where we’re left with so much shit that some of us actually think lady gaga is not that bad. by dd
was watching the criterion collection 2nd DVD with interviews on the film the other night, and although aznavor will always be the star of “shoot the piano player” …boby lepointe will always be my man. love the song, the words, the look. unfortunately, the actual version of the song framboise is not as cool as the version recorded in the film by the m. aznavor rhythm section. by dd

bernardo bertolucci’s “the conformist” is on screen at film forum. besides the story and everything that makes this movie on top of every list, it’s worth seeing just to realize how it was and still is one of the greatest references for people defining today’s visual surroundings. it has inspired everyone from david lynch to steven meisel, who totally plundered every single shot of the movie. a must see! btwn us, if you’re in nyc, such a movie is better on screen by pp
i can’t watch this without laughing my head off. this is probably brody’s best dig considering how conceited and full of himself he is. it’s great to see him play the role of a queens’ born, italian, gay, phony punk with a fake british accent. well done. by xy
great people tend to leave us all too quickly… maybe it’s ’cause we all suck so bad? by dd
one genius interpreting another…of course i’m talking about bach and richter. on the other hand, gould sounds rather academic and self conscious; like a 50’s newscaster, but we can forgive him as he’s another genius altogether. now if you have any, keep your recordings of richter, a single CD copy of “richter in prague” goes for a meager $380. by dd

i don’t know maybe i’m too nostalgic, but i dig these guys in a very retro way. this song reminds me of riding my bike on santa monica blvd on a sunday morning getting an ice cream cone… by dd
