Justice - Stress
I posted this a couple months ago, but I like it, and these boys are going to tear the roof off of that awful Webster Hall next month...
Enjoy Your Fall Friends (Fall 1908)
photo of Jack Johnson or The Big Smoke to boxing fans
I've always liked this photo of him because it showcases his affinity for fast cars and sharp clothes. A playboy in the true sense of the word.
What better time of year to endulge in these hedonistic pursuits?

Sweet Smell of Success
Anyone who has seen this film knows how much Mad Men has to thank Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis for their performances. So much cooler than the series will ever be (due in part to a glitzy score by Chico Hamilton, and the fact that it was actually filmed in late 50's New York City) this should be on every man's top film list. These men are drinking at the Stork Club, eating at 21, and all the while making and breaking other people's lives and careers. Classic.

JUSTICE
I was just told that Justice is returning to NYC on 10/30 during their last visit to the states for a while. Webster Hall may not be the greatest venue, but that won't stop many. These boys throw a mean party.

Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds
Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds "This one is amazing. People came up and said cunningly 'Right, I get it, LSD' and it was when all the papers were talking about LSD, but we never thought about it. What happened was John's son Julian did a drawing at school and brought it home, and he had a schoolmate named Lucy, and John said "What's that?" and he said Lucy in the sky with diamonds." -Paul (McCartney)

In Memory of Astroland
Everyone knows of course, be it desired or not, that change is inevitable. That said, it is really hard to believe that after this weekend Astroland will be no more. Adding salt to the wound is the fact that it will be replaced by some mega-developer's idea of 'Disneyland in Brooklyn'. I try to keep my reflections positive here, but have nothing good to say about this. Bastards. Anyway, if the storm lets up tomorrow, jump on the D train and say goodbye to the most surreal place in town.
