Once Upon a Time in New York

Still yet to watch this. This is a 4 part documentary series presented by BBC on Music in NY in the 70's. I hope it's worth a post?!?


New York City is in constant flux. It is a city whose skyline waxes and wanes on a weekly basis, a city that lives at a frenetic pace, a city where this morning is ancient history. In making a documentary film about '70s New York I wanted to find out how much of the musical past was still tangible today.
I chose to schedule a two-week filming trip around the closing of CBGB, which, according to the immigration official checking my visa, was big news. CBGB was a toilet of a venue, located on the Bowery in Manhattan's Lower East Side. In the early 70s the neighbourhood was a no-go area: a magnet for bums, dealers, gangs, pimps and other ne'er-do-wells.
It was also the ground zero for Punk Rock. CBGB spawned Television, Blondie, The Patti Smith Group and The Ramones - all great bands who cut their 'punk' teeth long before the Sex Pistols were a twinkle in Malcolm McLaren's eye.
In October 2006, Manhattan's unreal real estate boom finally caught up with the tiny landmark when a huge increase in rent forced original owner Hilly Kristal to close the doors for the very last time.
CBGB's final night proved to be a surreal experience as the full might and glitz of New York's showbiz elite descended en masse on the tiny venue. I had a hunch that many present knew little about CBGB - other than that its closure was a social event not to be missed.
This feeling was borne out when the high priestess of CBGB, Patti Smith, appeared on the sidewalk. As she had chosen, that evening, to eschew designer togs in favour of a dirty woolly hat, the paps and anchor men present decided to ignore her, assuming perhaps that she was an unwelcome vagrant from one of the Bowery's few remaining hostels.
So it was with ease that my team and I - assistant producer Jane Maugham and researcher Sam Bridger - strolled thru' the throng and struck up conversation. On asking Patti what her city was like to live in today, she replied, "Take a look around you. Try and get an apartment here".
Today there is no sign of danger on the Lower East Side. It is now an urban and urbane home for a new, hip American gentry and property prices are as sky high as the condos themselves.
The closing of CBGB stands at the pinnacle of 30 years of physical and spiritual transformation of New York. Whilst modern New Yorkers have inherited a safe, clean and robustly rich city - even 9/11 changed almost nothing economically - the city's individual, creative edge has been lost amidst the onslaught of big money and commercialisation.
Once Upon A Time In New York is an exploration of a different era, one in which the troubled streets of the city gave birth to three brilliant musical cultures that would become known as Punk, Disco and Hip Hop.

Producer/Director, Ben Whalley

Seen this on plenty of sites but fuck it. Some great shots of NY

Crate Creeps / Crate Cartel - The Step In 21/08/10

What a top quality night of performances in Brisbane at The Step In on Saturday . The venue has sounded the best it ever has in my opinion.
Jake Biz and Bigfoot set it off performing tracks from Purgatory and Bigfoots upcoming release due to drop towards the end of the year.
Venue was pretty full by the time the Melbourne Mc's hit the stage. Maundz & The Crate Cartel showcasing their latest albums Mr Nobody and Crate Cartel Radio. If you missed the live show in your state then do yourself a favour and cop the albums on CD or itunes. Adelaide and Sydney people, Maundz is hittin your state early September. You don't want to miss this cunt, his flows and stage presence is second to none.
Tommy Ill and Butch daddy DJ Butcher followed with a now well marinated crowd, showcasing their new joints from the Crate Creeps - Its About That Time , with a swagger of guests doing the do. I think Kings Konnekted with Rezadent getting it in on The Terrorist Medley and Tommy's live beatbox sampling took the win for this set.
The following flicks are courtesy of Brisbane multimedia artist Selina Miles. Check her blog out HERE and peep the foot of the post for her latest works.
Unfortunately she missed the Jake and Foots set.
Cheers for the flix!

The true story of the Akron Fab Five - LeBron James, Sian Cotton, Dru Joyce III, Willie
McGee and Romeo Travis

Five talented young basketball players from Akron, Ohio star in this remarkable true-life coming of age story about friendship and loyalty in the face of great adversity. Coached by a charismatic but inexperienced player’s father, and led by future NBA superstar LeBron James, the “Fab Five”’s improbable nine-year journey leads them from a decrepit inner-city gym to the doorstep of a national high school championship. Along the way, the close-knit team is repeatedly tested — both on and off the court — as James’ exploding worldwide celebrity threatens to destroy everything they’ve set out to achieve together. MORE THAN A GAME combines a series of unforgettable one-on-one interviews with rare news footage, never-before-seen home videos and personal family photographs to bring this heart-wrenching and wholly American story to life.

Apologies for the lack of posting in the last few weeks. Its no excuse, but we've all been pretty busy doing our projects, mapping our moves and getting finances in check. I can say..another monthly mixtape is pretty much done to get you through the 1st part of October. Some pics will be up in the next few days of some new clothing arrivals... But anyways..To the post..

I found this trailer all in my face when I logged onto the myspaces account. Hopefully this remake of the classic 1984 A Nightmare on Elm st gets the justice it deserves. I'm not expecting too much. Trailer looks pretty good as they always do.
This movie scared the fucking shit through me as a youngster. My screws loose neighbour took Freddy pretty seriously. He took the glove pretty seriously also and went one step further after I came back from the Ekka one year and flashed off my plastic Kruger glove featured in the Freddy bag. That fuck made a legit metal bladed one and went around the block waving the shit round thinkin' he was all burnt retarded freddy gettin in locals dreams and what not. Think he used a Souths jersey instead of the Jumper too!!"John you legend. Shit story but a true story and relative to the post.

Here's the og trailer from 84.
