NihIli$tic Pop Ain’t Go$$ip! (Music, Movies, Mixed Media Mishugas)
And if you’re going to San Francisco, forget the flowers but be sure to stop by Rotee for some Indian/Pakistani grub. A work-trip has us up near the Golden Gate this week, unfortunately most of our time is spent at the Burlingame Marriot by the airport, but after a shuttle back to the airport and […]

“What were the skies like when you were young?” If you know the answer to that question, you must’ve went to a lot of raves, or you could have seen those Volkswagen “Bug” commercials a few years back. It’s a recognizable sample from the Orb’s “Little Fluffly Clouds,” and in it Rikki […]
Do you dig Mr. Lif? I do. He’s in town tomorrow, and I previewed it for the LA Weekly.It reads like this:
WEDNESDAY, JAN. 30Mr. Lif & the Perceptionists at the Knitting Factory
If Yo! MTV Raps was filmed on location at Project Blowed (Leimert Park’s weekly cipher), Mr. Lif would make the perfect host or, rather, […]
When we lived in SoHo I would made a routine of walking up Sullivan Street to Jamaican Flavors (240 Sullivan St., 212-254-3856). In the heart of the Village, the place gets really busy around lunch time, but if you show up too late they can run out of stuff and just close down. Getting delivery […]
It’s 2008 and things are already going great, and it has everything to do with my stop at Gray’s Papaya! Since 1972 Nicolas A.B. Gray has been feeding New Yorkers some of the yummiest hot dogs known to man. Now I’m not hear to tell you they’re healthier or better quality than Hebrew National or […]
When I used to live in NYC, I used to average about a slice a day. Not too great for the diet, I know, but I’m a slave to the slice. Now I’ve been to so many pizza places in this town, and I’ve eaten out of coal, wood, brick, and gas ovens, and […]
I remember it like it was yesterday. I was in 7th grade and Van Halen were out on the road with a new lead singer named Sammy Hagar. I had no idea about this group Montrose he used to sing for (also produced by Ted Templeman, the band had a direct influence on VH), […]
I’ll be at Moonshadows on Sunday! I’ll be spinning dub, acid rock, prog rock, jazz fusion, funk and soul, eurodisco/italo, and some crazy electronic stuff in between. No Mel Gibson won’t be there, and Vince Neil won’t be doing lines over there like he did in the 80s. Just go up the pch about a […]
I wrote this Pic Of The Week for today’s L.A. Weekly. Good For Jews are the duo of Rob Tannenbaum and David Fagin, hipster-Jews to the N-th (for nachus) degree. Tannenbaum, (who has been featured in New York and Heeb magazines, and is the creator of VH1’s “What I like About Jew) emailed me with […]
So we went down to the Music Box to check out Debbie Harry and as I had hoped, she put on a great show. (more soon)
