Saturday nite in the City ....

New York City is a crazy place , it really is ....how many artists and dreams hasn't come around to this city , the big city of dreams...... is it the source ? It is a constant debate among people living here , and amongst so many people that kinda live here.
Sometimes I feel it is the most discussed subject ... foreigners who either visit or whom you'll meet while traveling are also obsessed with this subject . And somehow especially while meeting none New York living people they love to say that they think the golden years of NYC is over .....I really wonder why.

Today I saw the movie "All about Eve" with Betty Davis, Anne Baxter and the young Marylin Monroe...amazing movie and amazing acting , and all in NYC..the good old NYC , but you know what? NYC still has the same dilemmas and dramas and careers nowadays as it had back then . It just felt fresh somehow to see NYC in those days , them meeting in Gramercy Park's Cub Room and knowing and seeing all that how it was then and how NYC is still boiling with hopes and excitement and poetry....never stops ...

Today Andy Rourke from the band The Smiths came to hang out with his lady . Federico Aubele with partner Nat who is one of the singers with Thievery Corporation also came by . Federico has an excellent new cd out on ESL records titled Berlin 13...check it out !!. Jana Andevska who sang the song "Beautiful Drug" for Thievery's last record was there as well, and she keeps talking about how she might move back home to Czeck Republic..is that how you say it? anyways , hope she stays around here ...

Another special gentleman who has been in a hole with the Strokes for the last 3 years peeped in . He's The Strokes new album producer and live sound man , and seems to be doin everything with them these days . He needed some rock n roll rest and came by and had some beers.. Swede Gus Oberg . .....and love trio kept playing " just trying to spread some more love"....today was kinda a celebration cause this week finally after 7 years of contractual mishap our first cd was finally returned to us . It was never released just because a stupid record label licensed one song from it which in return made the whole record locked up til now !!! I guess I signed something stupid back then.....but hey hey now its ours and that one is actually titled " just tryin to spread some more love" cause that is simply what were doin....so that record will be released in may for the first time in its entirely , but we will meanwhile in march record our 3rd album !!!

awrite then .. tomorrow its Oscars ..or today tonite rather .. then Bato the Yugo and his gang , Bato also on his way to become a father...

Jana Andevksa, Federico Aubele and Nat Clavier are there in the pic as well....
