Welcome to 2009.I downloaded a copy of Miroir Noir - the film about the Arcade Fire. It is great for both its content and cinematography. My favorite moment is when Renee and Wynn are in an elevator singing, playing guitar and drumming on the elevator walls as you see the background change through the glass walls from the movement of the elevator as it travels up and down through the building.
NYGeog will be proud to present The Best New Music of 2008 CD featuring new songs by artists that were released in 2008. The concept is to make a mix CD that flows in a practical manner. So some songs that may be really good that came out in 2008 may not even make it on the mix if they don't fit. I will upload the files to an ftp so it can be downloaded as a zip file and the song names will be prefixed with the track number of the mix. So that and the track listing will be up soon.
The Knitting Factory is now closed and will reopen in Williamsburg. The area of Tribeca where the Knitting Factory once was is now a ritzy expensive neighborhood, which is too bad because the Knitting Factory was a short 5 block walk from my Chinatown abode and I've seen quite a few enjoyable shows there.
