SEXPURGISNACHT, is this anything (it’s the one night when 8th century nuns are allowed to have sex with pagan German witches)
It’s too bad we didn’t get an “I Want Your Sex”/“One Night Only” Barbenheimer. Sexpurgeheimer?
Burmese Bites slings delicious food whether it’s from a street cart, at a night market stall, in a basement mall food court, or as a full sit-down spot in Astoria! Local friends: go support.
Hell Gate *subscribe today!*@hellgatenyc.com · 6h agoThe menu is ambitious, with six pages of snacks, starters, salads, palata, desserts, and an array of "shareable dishes," all served with rice and based on "the type of Burmese food we eat for dinner in our home." Read more about this delicious array in this week's $20 DINNER!
The note changes in this performance feel like occasional yet psychically perceptible rearrangements of the cosmos. (And if you don’t have 639 years, the 30-minute Gerd Zacher version from 1985 is some lovely organ drone.)
depths of wikipedia@depthsofwikipedia.bsky.social · 7h agofor the first time in two and a half years, a new note was played in this organ performance today!

One is that I don’t get as much out of attending gigs as I used to, but also: the me of now has a better time if I can roam around, experience the music from different places in the room (or the patio), not have to crowd into one spot like a battery hen. (Pioneer Works in BK is awesome for this.)

I legitimately don’t understand why Talking Heads/Byrne have had this immense reputational glowup among the under-45s, while the Police/Sting aren’t even on the radar. (Maybe if Ezra Koenig drops a “Synchronicity II” reference somewhere.)
K. A. “Kîck Åß” Pillë@keithpille.bsky.social · 2d agosome recent Sting discourse led me to try something today I have not done in decades: to listen, risking madness, sequentially to the Sting solo albums as far as I can, with ears as open as possible
what I’ve seen of this stuff in dribs and drabs over the years is bonkers fantastic. i will absolutely be buying the set.

I am so excited for there to be 3 different, unrelated movies called "Bad Lieutenant" where the only throughline is that they're about A Cop who Smokes Crack directed by the patron saints of Mentally Ill Guy filmmaking
It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better
Since we’re relitigating 2020 (again): in Feb 2020, when Covid was starting to spread in the US but before we “locked” anything “down,” it was crystal clear to me that our national response would be a protracted, confused mess w/ a lot of selfishness and bad faith. We are not the village it takes.
“Arrive All Over Me” (1994) is just a banger of a record, the Briseboisssance starts now

I was thinking just before I saw the thread that I’d love a 33 1/3 on Joe Jackson’s “Night and Day” even though there’s almost no market for one these days — but I wanna know more about the glockenspiel on “Steppin’ Out”! I wanna know about his pasty arse bopping around NYC to salsa percussionists.
Stop Calling Me Frank@stopcallingmefrank.bsky.social · 5d agoYou have a month to write a 33 1/3 book about the album of your choice. Which record are you going to write about?
