nyc nightlife in january 1999
january 2, 1999 tiswas at don hill's featured the mooney suzuki [john was still in the band, my fave mooney] & the damned personals live. it was a great night including these top choons: the jam's 'all around the world,' the charlatans' 'weirdo,' pulp's 'babies,' the animals' its my life, stone roses fools gold dance mix [nick what is that mix called? fools gold 1994? its not on the domestic remix cd]. and the pushkings' love takes flight. a decade on the manhattan Mod scene is dead, over. But in phila, SORTED at barbary each month is a rocking Brit night. rees-pecc !!!!

january 10, 1999 shout! at bar 13 featured 'what you see is what you get' and i cant turn you loose. shout! was a great soul/mod night each sunday in 1999 but steve & pedro split town for miami 5 years ago.

january 16, 1999 another great tiswas with thin lizard dawn. kitty in the tree cancelled. [whats up with the orion experience? his solo stuff is good.] nick's solid gold included the smiths' shoplifters, the stones' shes a rainbow, the roses' mersey paradise, and david jones' rebel rebel & jean genie. jenna joost attended I guess shes back in satchem LI 10 years on.

january 24, 1999 shout! featured brown sugar, monkey man, instant karma, and 2 from steveland morris, uptight everythings alright, and higher ground.

january 28, 1999 i saw the realistics at arlenes grocery. following this night, beavher moved to coney island high for a somewhat undistinguished run of a few months. the realistics claim to fame was a levi's ad in Paper magazine. so much for staten bands in the 21st century ...

january 30, 1999 tiswas featured one of the earliest performances of 'the every other' supporting ultrafine. the every others became one of nycs best bands circa 2003-2007 but now owen mccarthy is solo - he needs those guys & songs !! another fab gear night with young americans, byrds feel a while lot better, and animal nitrate.

* my favourite photo show in jan 1999 was wm eggleston 1966-1971 at cheim & read in chelsea. eggleston's 2008 whitney retrospective is superb - he's one of the best photographers ever.
