nyc nightlife in april 1999- 10 years ago
nyc nightlife in april 1999- 10 years ago
march 30, 1999 I saw BLUR at roseland on their "13" LP tour. I thought it was an excellent show & the "13" LP really holds up, especially Graham's great 45 'coffee & TV." the other day at La.Va. cafe on south st & 21st, Adam played the "Blur" LP and that 1 held up great too - AND Blur is reforming for some gigs this summer! I hope they play USA too + a new LP w/ Graham !!
april 2, 1999 I went to squeezebox at don hill's for mark lewis' supersonic New Pop Jet. also support from Smitty's, the Friggs & Theo from Lunachicks. Top tunes from DJ Jayne County incl. stones' starfucker, bowie diamond dogs, brother louis by stories, derringer rock & roll hoochie coo, and BOC dont fear the reaper. debbie harry was in attendance. You might have heard of the Mis-Shapes and MotherF****r parties - both were heavily indebted to Squeezebox- in fact some might say that SqueezeBox was the originator, and the others were short-lived versions. Could be.
* I also was over at sway with michael lamorte from Fictura.
april 3, 1999 tiswas at don hill's with mooney suzuki headlining & support from bianca & bunsen honeydew. guests incl anna & scott from nj, keith ozar, and pedro from shout! top tunes from nick incl. archie bell's tighten up, booker t green onions, stardust's music sounds better, and the smiths wm it was really nothing. Nick's got a great playlist, I(m less inclined to visit Webstar Hall than Don Hill's, howevs...
* heres mooney's set list: make my way. i say i love you. boy dont cry. half my heart. oh no. tell me why. my dear persephone. heart attack blackout. hopt. blue sky black. love is a gentle.
I have a couple of Mooney's 7" vinyl 45s. You??
april 14, 1999 kula shaker played mercury lounge. omg britPop flash-back lool.
april 15, mojave 3 and gomez played mercury. M3 was a great band !!
april 17, 1999 tiswas at don hills featured the realistics, the humans, and smittys. guest incl. mike & chris from fictura, anna, kathleen, steve from shout! & nanci from staten island. top tunes from nick incl: grassroots'
midnight confessions, style council my ever changing moods, smiths panic, charlatans white shirt, jumping jack flash, jb night train, pretty in pink, & the mooneys my darling persephone.
the realistics. 1-time 'nyc rock revolution' hopefuls. now a joke punch-line. whoops.
april 28, 1999 ON! was at Life on bleecker street, a great psychedelic freakout party with guests melanie & kathleen, nick p from HQ, and MFer hostess justine d. top tunes included bad company, stills' love the 1 your with, & paperback writer. ON! was definitely a highlight of late 90s nyc clubbing. spa/plaid never matched its wednesday night colour or widescreen energy. Life is back as 'Le Poisson Rouge." Havent been yet --
popular clubs in april 1999 included karaoke at the elbow room on weds, the cooler on west 14th st [before meat packing was ruined by clubhs like 1Oak], vinyl/nasa [closed 5+ years ago]. Life, twilo [became spirit, now closed], idlewild, sound factory [now pacha]. and the tunnel. interesting how the top clubs of 1999 are a distant memory now, eh?
* my favourite radio stations in april 1999 were CBS-fm's oldies & the new jammin 105 soul classics format.
* my fave cds in april 1999 were paul oakenfold's 2 year Cream residency, Blur's 13 & its 45 'tender.' suede's head music & 45 electricity would appear in may. the noise-pop elements of 'head music' were probably about 10 years ahead of their time ....
* my favourite new bands were scotland's idlewild & bijou phillip's id rather eat glass. bijou became a hollywood psycho burnout joke, and she never released another LP. Pity, her music is great but her immaturity forever doomed her acting/modelling.
** and april 30 1999 SUEDE played copenhagen denmark. heres the setlist as they toured the 'head music' lp: cant get enough. electricity. trash. she. everything will flow. ndian strings. beautiful ones. elephant man. down. hes gone. lazy. savoir faire. crack in union jack.
the suede shows I saw onj their first 3 LPs are among the greatest concerts I attended in the 1990s, particularly Coming Up at Supper Club.

NYC NightLife, April 1994 !!!!
NYC NightLife, April 1994 !!!!
april 7, 1994 i went to the whitney museum where they had a month-long retrospective of andy warhol's black & white films. i saw the 'velvet underground & nico' film which is one long 30 minute jam as the band rehearses for the cameras with nico & her young son ari at the center. at the end the ny police come to shut them down due to noise complaints in the 47th st. neighbourhood of the factory. this is the single best performance video ive seen of the 60s velvets lineup, [most of the Exploding Plastic Inevitable VU films lack sound], also notable for the lengthy improvised jam which sounds somewhere between 'european son' & 'sister ray' but even more noise-based and lacking any kind of pop/song structure- its a throbbing feedback jam also closest to some of the long jams on robert quine's 3 cd VU cassette collection.
also shot video out side the museum with manhattan cable tv/downtown performance artist Nico Star, and Nick Zedd, the downtown filmmaker who used to provide films every Friday night at don hill's for the squeezebox party in the mid-90s.
april 8, 1994 kurt cobain committed suicide.
april 9, 1994 hung in central park with mark lipsitz of seed & razor & tie records; chris apflebaum, who directed paris hilton's stars are blind video!
april 14, 1994 back to the whitney for more warhol b&w films: 'haircut #1' with billy name, and 'eat' with robert indiana.
april 16, 1994 I saw the film 'backbeat' which chronicles the beatles early years in hamburg germany. sheryl lee is particularly good as photographer astrid kirchner. I also enjoyed the portrayals of stuart sutcliffe & john lennon. I also ran into robin williams as he exited the carlyle hotel on madison and 76th st.
april 22, 1994 i saw the charlatans at irving plaza with rob collins on keyboards. i also saw the charlies in 1990 at the marquee on the 'some friendly' tour! and later at the roxy with the dandy warhols opening up. and also at roseland with stereophonics.
tuesday, april 26, 1994 i met morrissey for the first time at tower records on west 4th st. moz was promoting his stunning vauxhall LP. I got to tower at 1 am on the early morning of the 26th. after waiting for 17 hours moz appeared at 6 pm and a rainshower immediately erupted,. soaking all of us who'd been waiting since early tuesday morning. jake took 2 pics of moz & me. . I chatted with moz & his best friend [on the payroll] jake about the photography on 'vauxhall,' and how i preferred jake's 'the more you ignore me' 45 sleeve to the final vauxhall cover. Moz signed my 'suedehead' 12" 'to clint with love & thanks morrissey" It was one of the greatest days of my life. And one of the best things that hapened to me in the 1990s. It may sound funny, but I swear meeting moz in april 1994 set me on a path of good luck that ran from the spring of 1994, when I visited Italy, through to the summer of 1999 - Im serious meeting moz gave me FIVE YEARS of good luck. I also met him for a 2nd time at Virgin union square when he was signing the 'oye esteban' DVD. justine delaney was also there - later known as nightlife model justine D. and my best Moz friend that night bwas jayanti tamm, who spent the first 25 years of her life as a disciple of sri chimnoy + just wrote a book about it, 'cartwheeling in saris.'
april 27, 1994 alan barcoff took me to the paramount theatre [now the theatre at msg] for the Source awards [alan asked john barrett & I to take photos for him of his many hiphop friends]. we met [the late] tupac shakur [!!], luke from 2live crew, run dmc, naughty by nature, queen latifah, heavy d, rosie perez, lisa lisa, and onyx. and the east coast-west coast feud was kicked into high gear with inflammatory remarks from snoop dogg & suge knight [re: p. diddy/babde boy] on stage which later ended up in the murders of tupac & biggie smalls. the april 1994 source awards was the first shot in this long simmering feud. subsequent feuds have incl fifty cent vs the game, and now fiddy vs officer ricky lool.
some of my favourite restaurants in april 1994 incl blimpie's on lex & 78th, & iammo bello on east 60th [heavenly baked ziti], both restaurants are now closed.
my favourite film in april 1994 was 'backbeat' an interesting history piece about the beatles 1961-63 hamburg Germany residency, stu sutcliffe, klaus vorman, & astrid kirchner.
some of my fave luchadores in april 1994 incl. blue panther, ultimo dragon, [the late] love machine art barr, hijo del santo and negro casas. my favourite TV shows incl. AAA lucha libre on galavision & melrose place.
my business meetings in april 1994 incl bowles/sorokko galleries on west broadway in soho. I worked for bowles for about 1 year selling the photos of sante d'orazio + some picasso etchings.
* I was also on manhattan cable TV weekly with 'the weather report' show. here are some topics for discussion, april, 1994. :
** #17 "Screen Test" April, 1994.
an episode filmed between April 5 and April 19, 1994. Here are the topics & themes covered on this spring, 1994
A Pop Art "Screen Test" for the beautiful dancer & actress Laura Adelita Bonnici, set to the music of Morrissey's 'why dont you find out for yourself' from "Vauxhall & I" which had been released that spring.
Cable TV host & downtown performance artist Nico Star & I visit the Whitney Museum, where we run into video artist & downtown fixture Nick Zedd, who provided films at Don Hill's Squeezebox club each Friday in the mid-90s. Nico & I reflexively shoot video & photos outside the whitney. the photos are shot with my nikon 35 mm camera. We also discuss: the velvet underground's european reunion & live LP, pavement , and nico paffgen.
Music News:
Kurt Cobain had just committed suicide &his memory is honoured with a variety of newspaper & magazine articles & illustrations. I also show a clip from my "Best of 1993" Awards show, citing Nirvana's "In Utero" as the #5 lp of 1993. Kurt articles from: ny times, post, nme, newsweek coverstory.
* deconstructing "Rolling Stone": chuck berry. kate moss. howard stern. nin. pavement.
Additional Newspaper/Magazine Deconstruction: daily news. ny times, post & ny press reviews for Morrissey's Vauxhall LP.
* 2 weeks of ny times images in 1 minute, almost.
Slideshow/photos: I present a multi-media slideshow segment showcasing these fine art photos of mine: : mr softee/banana split. papaya king 86th st. edie sedgwick. kate moss. nick zedd. mel ramos pop art paintings.
POP Art topics: sprite. twizzlers. hersheys chocolate. bananas in the financial times & dear abby. velvets, edie, warhol. I think youll agree the heavy dose of POP Art illustrations on this show including Andy Warhol, Edie, the Velvets & more is highly relevant in april 2009 as Edie & Warhol are being celebrated & referenced as never before.
Japanese tv/wrestling: jushin liger & [the late] chris benoit vs steiner bros. jodie foster tv commercial.
The Weather: letterman as 70s weatherman. cnn weather.
It's a lot of imagery & excitement for 29 minutes. Look forward to "The Weather Report NOW! 2009" on Comcast Cable TV, Philadelphia later in 2009 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
