i say fever
this reminds me of the children’s book the eleventh hour, an obsession of mine many moons ago. well, that intertwined with some monty python gags and a murderous rampage. the song isn’t so bad either. stefan nadelman, a job very well done. by sv
YSL soho
great to have YSL back in soho as it once was when hedi originally took over back in 1400’s. i bought half the collection then and have not since bought a single YSL, except for a 70’s vintage suit at resurrection. well i’ll be back in there soon… albeit for a tux. p.s. love the chairs. soft launch was this last week soon to be open to public. by uh

manhattanhenge
twice a year, our omnipotent star, the good ol’ setting sun aligns with the east/west streets of new york city’s grid. the origin of the word manhattanhenge, popularly dispersed by the enigmatic astrophysicist neil degrasse tyson, comes from stonehenge (their silhouettes and reactions are parallel). this event occurs annually during the end of may and july 12th and 13th. in 2013, it occured in half-sun form on may 28th and full sun form on may 29th around 8:15PM respectively. if you missed this beautiful cosmological event, you will have another chance to witness it in july (the 12th and 13th) around 8:20PM. how appropriate for science week… by hk
Highway star: The doors, Holger Czukay’s Can, Steve McQueen and everything, all in one
can: above the german art rock band with holger czukay from the 1970’sthe doors in studio with jim morrisondeep purple with original lead singer ian gillan
thanx for the ian gillan post nk. here’s the crazy thing, this track from deep purple, which i had totally forgotten about, performed on german TV, with altered lyrics to include “, mickey mouse, steve mcqueen and everything”, had light bulbs suddenly popping over my head. highway star is such a cross-over with bits from the doors (amazing organ riffs, not to mention the uncanny resemblance of ian gillan to jim morrison), and bits from the can’s signature jam sessions (despite less experimental and more musical here) plus the added madness of richie blackmore’s guitar solo at the end. its quite fantastic. by dd
