Sure, people bandy around the terms "massive" and "special" when referring to the various parties and ragers that are thrown and perhaps those sentiments are real for themselves...but look at that damn flyer and gaze upon the artists set to perform on that night.
I have the absolute honor and privilege to be a part of this special night and share the many, many records I've been buying lately. So come one, come all and let's all come together!
Saturday, November 20th
We've got an amazing night of music coming to both the Sullivan Room and its upstairs sister venue Sullivan Hall on Saturday, November 20th.
For one night, we'll have both the upstairs and downstairs rocking with two very special sets of guest artists. Upstairs, the legendary Planet E boss CARL CRAIG returns to Basic NYC after an incredible debut in April for our anniversary party. He's joined by the esteemed Detroit artist, musician and producer AMP FIDDLER for a special live collaboration. Downstairs, the Olmeto Records label heads and UK tech-house pioneers LAYO & BUSHWACKA! come back to New York for the first time in over two years. This will be their Sullivan Room debut and we've been looking forward to this for a long time.

I went to hear Sarah Chang perform the Bruch Violin Concerto No. 1 last night at Carnegie Hall. It'd been awhile since I last saw her perform. This is the last movement of the concerto that was taped earlier this year. I like the sense of urgency of the piece.
The penultimate track on their third full-length album "The Suburbs":
They heard me singing and they told me to stop, Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock, These days, my life, I feel it has no purpose, But late at night the feelings swim to the surface. Cause on the surface the city lights shine, They're calling at me, "come and find your kind."
Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small, That we can never get away from the sprawl, Living in the sprawl, Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains, And there's no end in sight, I need the darkness someone please cut the lights.
We rode our bikes to the nearest park, Sat under the swings, we kissed in the dark, We shield our eyes from the police lights, We run away, but we don't know why, And like a mirror these city lights shine, They're screaming at us, "we don't need your kind."
Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small, That we can never get away from the sprawl, Living in the sprawl, Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains, And there's no end in sight, I need the darkness someone please cut the lights.
They heard me singing and they told me to stop, Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock.
Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small, Can we ever get away from the sprawl? Living in the sprawl, Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains, And there's no end in sight, I need the darkness someone please cut the lights.

An excellent read, Mr. Nice, the true story of the one and only Howard Marks, has been adapted to film and will be released on October 8, 2010 in the UK. Not sure when the film will be released in the States, but it undoubtedly will introduce the inimitable Marks to a whole new audience.
She's driving away with the dim lights on She's making a play and she can't go wrong She never waits too long She's winding them down on her clock machine And she won't give up 'cause she's seventeen She's a frozen fire She's my one desire
CHORUS And I don't want to hold her down Don't want to break her crown When she says, let's go I like the nightlife baby She says, I like the night life baby She says, let's go!
She's laughing inside 'cause they can't refuse She's so beautiful now, she doesn't wear her shoes She never likes to choose She's got wonderful eyes and a risque mouth And when I ask her before, she said she's holding out She's a frozen fire She's my one desire
CHORUS
I like the nightlife baby She says, I like the nightlife baby She says, let's go!
