Didn't make it to the Television show yesterday and I'm sort of glad I didn't. Richard Lloyd didn't play and was replaced by a longtime Verlaine associate named Jimmy Ripp. Through a friend who would know, I heard Richard is on the mend which is great to hear. Since he couldn't make it Saturday, and when he's feeling better, maybe New York will be granted one last real Television show sometime in the not-to-distant future.
In other news, I've started working part time with Kadvan Entertainment. Last week I was lucky enough to accompany the awesomely cool Sharon Jones as she made a 4 song guest appearance, 2 days in a row, with Booker T & the MG's, so I was able to spend a little time with some of my soul heroes. They were extremely nice fellows and were happy to talk about their career, Stax Records, and Memphis, TN.
Yesterday, I was privy to some footage from a documentary thats being made about Candy Darling. It looks like it's going to be great. The makers of the film were all close to Candy and the whole project is obviously filled with lots of love. They already have about 25 hours of interview footage shot, and they're not done yet. Visit the film's official website for news & updates. If you're into Warhol & the Factory folks, this is definitely one to watch out for.
Lastly, I also stopped by Dashwood Books and picked up a copy of the great new book by Josh Cheuse that I mentioned earlier this week. Nice shop (they specialize in photography books), and a great book by Josh - well worth seeking out.
