• Week in Review: "I Am the Best Filmmaker in the World."

  Nate "Igor" SmithFun times at Roxy Cottontail's party. This is what Zach's birthday dinner looked like too. In the week that both Zach and Roxy Cottontail celebrated their birthdays, Rob posted a great moment in Wu-based subway-ad vandalism that became a whole shitload of peoples' Facebook profile images (looking at you, Dan), plus we announced more Siren Festival performers (Spank Rock, Japandriods) and the winners of the 2009 Obie Awards. Ah, what else happened? David Byrne's new EP streamed

• The Final CBGB Settlement: Hilly Kristal's Estate Takes Its Last Legal Bow

  "The thing my mother did wrong was trust my father and sister. And that's how she lost everything." photo via joe holmes' photostream Finally, a settlement has been reached in the long and often bitter battle over the estate of former CBGB proprietor Hilly Kristal. At the center of the dispute: whether Kristal's ex-wife Karen, who was the legal owner of CBGB throughout the club's entire existence, signed the business over to her former husband in 2005. The document was unwitnessed, and today,

• Tonight! Jonathan Richman Dances in the Lesbian Bar Once More

  The prophecies of a teenage Jonathan Richman, drawn in 1967. Jonathan Richman's first group, the Modern Lovers, distilled the early hipster scene at CBGB down to punk. But throughout his subsequent solo career, he's favored acoustic instrumentation over sonic assault, and his songwriting has borrowed more from the Warholian urges of Lou Reed than the glam of the New York Dolls or candidness of the Ramones. He's at Bowery Ballroom. Third Eye Blind holds a very special place in the hearts of M

• Week in Review: I've Never Seen So Many Sick Weirdos Gathered in One Place

  Rebecca Smeyne In the week one of us had to publicly defend himself against the crime of using the phrase "Fey Highwayman," we watched with amusement as close SOTC affiliate Christopher R. Weingarten became a viral video poster boy for the death of music criticism. Poetic choice of t-shirts, Chris! Elsewhere, we talked to Woody Allen about his new Whatever Works, Iranian filmmaker Bahman Ghobadi about Ahmadinejad's repressive regime and the disputed election there, artist Ben Frost on his late

• Remembering the Good Old Days at CBGB with Pig Destroyer

  The now departed rock club CBGB has come in for some abuse around these quarters, it being mostly a repository for evermore decrepit punk nostalgia and incredible family/scene infighting of a remarkably bitter nature--plus the fact that half the club's bookings after like 1988 were battle-of-the-bands shows and interminable high school coffeehouse-type fare--but jeez, how about this video of Virginia grindcore killers Pig Destroyer playing the club in its waning days? It's hard to overstate th

  Rebecca SmeyneThese Are Powers' Pat getting his temperature taken in China​ In the week leading up to All Points Wet (har har), vandals insulted the word "gay" in describing Coldplay, we came up with suggestions for a Beastie Boys tribute on Friday at All Points West, and there were plenty of free All Points West alternatives. Yes In My Backyard correspondent Christopher R. Weingarten gave us "Ecstatic Rite" from black-metal hot-shits Liturgy, whose favorite show in New York took place wh

• The Vaporous Ghost of CBGB: Now Offering Some Retail Space You May Be Interested In

  ​Did you know that the Bowery is "resurgent"? EV Grieve tracks down the real estate listing for the now vacant Morrison Hotel gallery--in turn, the former site of the CBGB Gallery, back when CBGB still existed--which is now for lease. Evidently the flickering memory of the decrepit old punk club is still good for something: With 25 feet of frontage and up to 8,800 square feet of retail space available, 313-315 Bowery offers a unique opportunity to be a part of the resurgent development i

• Week in Review: There's Only One Viable Avant-Garde Art Form Nowadays, And It's Called Indie Rock

  Sam Horine​In the week a Brooklyn indie-rock band either did or didn't kick a puppy in Prospect Park (sweat-soaked August news cycle, we see you), we amused ourselves making Rick Ross "Yo Mamma" jokes and watching rap panic take New York as 50 Cent did, and then didn't, shoot your grandmother. We talked to Six Organs of Admittance's Ben Chasny about his new Luminous Night, Destroyer's Dan Bejar on Bay of Pigs, and The Antlers' Peter Silberman on how people are always comparing his band to

  ​--Jay Z, who released a new track with Drake yesterday, is expected to announce today that he will play Madison Square Garden on September 11th, the day Blueprint 3 is scheduled to come out. The show will benefit the New York Police and Fire Widows' and Children's Benefit Fund, created in 1985 to "support families of firefighters and police officers who have died in the line of duty," the New York Times reports. Jay's one of the best massive live acts out there at the moment: his last-min

  Kylie! Photo by Santiago Felipe.​In the week a tiny little boy named Falcon first captured America's heart and then threw up on that heart on live television and even rhymed about doing so in song, we swam feebly in the ocean of headlines involving both Michael Jackson and Paul Anka, DJ AM and James Chance, M.I.A. and Anna Wintour, and all the other unlikely celebrity mash-up hard-knock docu-drama death-deals that so thoroughly keep us all employed. Ahem. Did you hear Diddy lost some jewel
