Last night, I finally got a chance to check out my new favorite psych rock outfit Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros. I have been listening to their hippie psych folk rock for months, thanks to Indie 103.1 and it was with baited breath I checked out their sold out show last night at the [...]

Song of the Day – “Sacred Trickster” by Sonic Youth

Sonic Youth, just released their SIXTEENTH album “The Eternal” on Matador Records, and I can not get enough of it.  It seems as though with each album they make, I fall deeper in love with them.  They closed out ;the concert series at McCarren Park pool in Williamsburglast year and it was amazing to see [...]

If You Missed The Tonys….

The Tony Awards, which has been awarding excellence within Broadway and theater for 63 years now, took place last night and from reviews was one of the more successful recent productions of the program. Unfortunately, I missed the show because I was busy rocking out to Jane’s Addiction and NIN (more on that later) [...]

Don’t get me wrong, I will still be one of the first people in the theater to see this movie, but from the trailer isn’t doing this movie any favors.  I love Larry David, but thats just it, I love Larry David.  I am not sure how I will feel watching a whole two hours [...]

“Whatever Works” Premiere Kicks Of Tribeca Film Festival 2009!

From early reviews, one can assume that Larry David steps into the quintessential neurotic role that Allen is so well known for pitch perfectly. And while the event was star-studded, with most of the costars [...]

My favorite neurotic couple: Larry and Woody

The Tribeca Film Festival can not get here soon enough so I can finally see “Whatever Works”, the new comedy written and directed by Woody Allen and starring Larry David. In two words, it will be sheer bliss for this neurotic obsessive. Allen and David discussed their working together with “The New York [...]

Feminism Revolt? How can NYC and the MTA allow this to happen?

The following story is one of a personal nature to me and does not involve any funny celebrity quotes nor casting news. A few years back in my neighborhood, a woman was raped on a subway platform. While waiting for a G train, which are notoriously late and slow especially late night, the [...]

Let’s get all artsy and fartsy up in here. On Tuesday, I had the pleasure of attending POPRALLY at MOMA event here in New York City with my very talented artist boyfriend. Department of Eagles were premiering their brand spanking new video, courtesy of acclaimed music video director Patrick Daughters and artist extraordinaire [...]

Woody Allen’s Return to NYC will begin at Tribeca!!!

My prediction that “Whatever Works” would premiere at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival was quite accurate. It was announced today that Woody Allen’s latest film would premiere at the TFF’s opening night on April 22nd. It’s quite fitting that Allen’s return to New York on screen would be the same year he premiered [...]
