...called New York City after a serene week in the Seaview section of Fire Island, NY. It's too freaking hot and I've been liking this town (or at least Manhattan) less and less for what seems like months now. And now the heatwave...BLECH! Coming back to reality this weekend is a bit of a bummer and I'm not really feeling up to writing much but felt the need to check in and get back to something of a routine.
Besides the bad news called US and International politics, the final pieces of CBGB closing are falling into place. And to top it all off Hilly Kristal was recently diagnosed with lung cancer! Fuckin' hell...
Has anyone seen this documentary on Factory Records history called Shadowplayers? Let me know if it's any good please before I order a copy.
RIP Sid Barrett, 1946-2006.
And lastly one bit of good news, something to look forward to - I managed to get a pair of tickets for one of Tom Waits upcoming shows. There aren't many artists I'll travel to see but ol' Tom is one of them. He plays sporadically at best, and who the hell knows when he may choose to leave us? August 5, Ryman Auditorium, Nashville TN, here I come!

Don't forget the ecoli scare out on Fire Island this past week while you were there.
You need to move to a little house on a cliff in Novia Scotia or Scotland overlooking the ocean managing a new artist acquisition department for a small, yet lucrative label. Wouldn't that be nice?
