** my review pt II: .
winx was actually GREAT! fluid is a small/medium size place maybe 2/3 as big as shadow. great sound & air condition. josh plays there every last weds of each month, he lives in phila. In six months ive been in phila he played by far the most forward & future music of any dj Ive heard here. he started with some hard progressive that was cool. then he went into some tech house that got the crowd dancing. there were maybe 80-100 people there he said it was slow but i thought it was comfy & perfect. by midnight he was into peak tunes and he played hard techno! at least an hour and his crowd loved it screaming and cheering the hardest dancing. around one he played more housey but it was still closer to tech house. by 130-145 it was emptying out so i went over to him & took two pics !! Im actually excited to see these cos club people like u know that winx is actually really famous in our world. so a very cool phila party & his techno was awesome, very "now" at least as good as danny howells techno side maybe better. his mixing is fantastic his transitions are on the money 100% not 1 fuck-up all night
guests incl dave P. best song 'everything in its place.' josh played techno progg & house, masterfully. stayed 11 - 2 am. ***1/4

nyc and east hampton nightlife in july 1999
nyc and east hampton nightlife in july 1999
ON! at Club Life & Cyber-Tek Rave: July, 1999
july 1999 10 years ago in nyc/ east hampton nightlife:
july 1, 1999 the realistics played the bounce at the cooler. neither the band nor the venue exist anymore . the cooler used to be in the merat packing district: no one in 1999 would recognize 2009's loungey MPD.
july 4, 1999 lloyd cole & the negatives played 2 free nights at mercury lounge, marking his departure from living in manhattan after almost a decade. my fave song july 4 was 'man on the verge.' ****1/2 of 5 stars 7/4 set list: past imperfect. negative attitude. perfect skin, 4 flights up. impossible girl. brand new friend. born in the usa. like lovers do. dont look back. jennifer she said. man on the verge. shes a girl & Im a man. i didnt know that u cared. that girl. a cover of cher's believe!!! jill sobule's i kissed a girl.
july 5, 1999 lloyd played the 2nd of his 'goodbye to nyc' free gigs at mercury lounge. my top tune on the 5th was 'what's wrong with this picture.' ****1/4 of 5 stars
set list: forest fire solo. past imperfect. negative attitude. perfect skin. brand new friend. impossible girl. like lovers do. dont look back. undressed, jennifer she said. whats wrong with this picture. shes a girl & Im a man. i didnt know that you cared. man on the verge. that boy. i kissed a girl. cher's believe.
july 8, 1999 paul oakenfold headlined a slamming perfecto night at vinyl in tribeca with dave ralph opening up. a decade latyer, Oakey hasnt even played nyc in a year, and his sets are generally a shadow of his past greatness. He did play Atlantic City about a month ago. Oakey in AC? maybe that's a good match at this point.
july 11, 1999 i was in east hampton and attended a tea dance at club NV [later Resort, now lily pond] with sammy krips on north main street/three mile harbor road. top tunes were cher's believe, chic everybody dance, and dan hartman relight my fire.
* I also ran into vendela the stunning swedish supermodel as I was walking to main beach & she was riding her bike east from georgica on ocean ave.
* some other top spots summer 1999 on the east end of LI included conscience point with billy masterson hosting, flying point in southampton with danny A, jet east, and life at the tavern with the von broock twins. a decade later, every one of those club's names & promoters have changed: I would not go clubbing on nthe east enmd except in very rare cases.
july 15, 1999 alex english curated Broadcast every thursday at bar 13, this night with guests kathleen ..1, justine d & nancianne. top tunes from lx incl. stardust music sounds better, suede shes in fashion, the smiths ask, esther into the groove, & pulp's babies. Congrats to LX for staying strong - and being GBH's go-to dj- 10 years on ....
july 17, 1999 the Cyber-Tek rave at Roseland, with an extra-ordinary techno set from sweden's cari liekebusch vs. adam beyer. I rated this rave ****3/4 of 5 stars. it was 1 of the best parties of 1999, 1 of the best raves I ever attended, and the liekebusch vs beyer techno set is also one of the best dj sets I heard in the 1990s. In fact a decade later, I will say that their dj set ranks in the top 5 techno sets Ive ever heard live, all the others would be carl cox sets.
july 18, 1999 david cone of the NY yankees pitched a perfect game. Just yesterday july 23, 2009] the ChiSox Mark Buehrle pitched a Perfect Game vs the Devil Rays 5 > 0.
july 21, 1999 On! at life with guests sammy krips, , anna & scott from nj, mike lamorte, chris court,. & kathleen ..1 & ..2, dennis from realistics, scott from miracle man, top tune was 'panic' by the smiths from nick marc *** of 5 stars.
* more songs: jimi fire. jb sex machine. stones' jumping jack flash & brown sugar. taxman,. theres no other way. grazing in the grass. you really got me, stepping stone,
july 22, 1999 the beach boys- as they were in 1999 with mike love but no brian wilson- headlined westbury music fair with creedence clearwater revisited in support.
july 23, 1999 'together' a love american style party hosted by daniel collas, james spooner & george seville opened at opaline. unfortunately this party floppped and it died within 2 or 3 weeks. better luck next time daniel.
july 24, 1999 the realistics headlined cbgb's gallery.
july 31, 1999 the tvt/waxtrax mastermix tour with juan atkins, dj hurricane, expansion union, the crystal method & frontside at irving plaza. unfortunately the erratic but preternaturally takented majic juan didnt show for the date, but i rocked out to the method. great to see ben from tvt also in the house
august 1, 1999 my brother took me to see bruce springsteen at the meadowlands in e rutherford nj. it was a pretty good show with hi-lites 'back streets' [opening song!!] and encore 'born to run,' and jimmy cliff's trapped, and the ties that bind. but since i saw springsteen at the palladium in 1976 on born to run, and at the garden in 78 on darkness, 1980 on the river, and born in the usa at meadowlands in 1984, a 1999 springsteen show just aint the same, baby. ***3/4 stars. the 76 & 78 concerts are among the 10 or 20 greatest shows ive ever seen in 35 years of concert-going & seeing virtually every top rock band in that era.
setlist: back streets, ties that bind. 2 hearts. racing in the streeets. youngstown. ghost of tom joad. light of day. ramrod. 10th ave freeze out incl move on up , soul man & day tripper!!. thuunder road. born to run. bobbie jean,. if i shld fall behind. land of hope & dreams.
On! at Club Life on bleecker st was one of the most happening weeklies in ther summer of 1999
a popular film in july 1999 was 'the astronaut's wife,' with johnny depp & charlize theron.
the songwriter bobby troupe died at 80. he wrote 'route 66' which is an all-time classic by nat king cole, and for me, as covered by the rolling stones with brian jones, is my single favourite recording ever by the stones, especially as heard live on "december's' children" LP.
and 35 years before, the beach boys had their first ..1 hit in july 1964 with 'i get around.'

Courtney Love/LemonHeads: July 1994 !!!
Body: nyc nightlife july 1994 15 years ago this month
july 8 1994 i saw the lemonheads at roseland touring 'come on feel the lemonheads.' this is the lergendary night when courtney love came out at the encore and sang 2 hole songs playing guitar with evan dando on drums. kurt cobain had killed himself in april, this was courtney's first musical appearance since then & to say the crowd welcomed her with an intense outpouring of love & acceptance is a huge understatement. not to mention the subtext that couirtney's affair with evan dando led to her separation from kurt in early 1994, but that's all in the nirvana books you might want to read. hi-lites of lemonhead's set: shame about ray. ride with me. favourite t. down about it. my drug buddy. into your arms. great big no. big gay heart. confetti. rudderless. you cant take it with you. dawn cant decide. alisons starting to happen. its about time. style. frank mills. // courtney encores: Im miss world, doll parts. I saw a lot of lemonheads shows in mid-late 90s but this was obviously the best by far. ****1/2 of 5 stars
july 11 1994 the country club on 86th st was an unlikely yet happening preppy monday night party.
july 23 1994 juliana hatfield played central park summerstage with holland's bettie serveert opening. it was a rainy afternoon but by the time juliana came on the rain had abated & she was pretty popular at this point, some even called her the female pin up/object of affection in the usa alt-pop scene. I must confess I had a bit of a crush on her myself, and i chatted with her a bit backstage; however best julia chat i ever had was at mercury lounge i think when speed mcqueen was playing. her speaking voice is even cuter than her singing, its so breathy chirpy & alluring. hi-lites at summerstage incl my sister, no idols & the solo encore of 'nirvana,' once again her song about listening to kurt cobain, ["Ive got nirvana in my head/ Im so gald Im not dead/ here comes that song, I love it so much, makes me wanna fuuck shiit up"]. you may recall kurt's spectre hung heavily over the us rock scene in the spring & summer of 1994.
july 29, 30, 31, in east hampton, hanging with audrey flack & hannah marcus in georgica, bar hopping at wild rose cafe in bridgehampton, and shooting video on main beach as described in my Weather Report cable TV guide 7/31/94: " we are on Main Beach, East Hampton, reading the Sunday newspapers & discussing them. I'm wearing the Smiths "Shoplifters" tee shirt with Elvis on it. We are also joined by Mimi, a beautiful blonde who was one of our house-guests for the weekend. Topics discussed include the recently-opened Mercury Lounge, the Bowery's revival in the Daily News, & Bill Clinton on the cover of the NY Times Magazine. After the beach we drive on Ocean Avenue and then Main Street East Hampton, with Steely Dan's first LP playing on the stereo, and pass by the UA/Regal cinema, where Forrest Gump & The Mask are 2 very popular summer 1994 films. "
and August 1 1994 i photographed winona ryder & dave pirner on st marks place . she good, he bad !
