Bash Compactor: Grunge Worthy
Theres nothing like a throwback to the 1990s to make us all realize how lame the naughties are. Each week, Vice magazine columnist Lesley Arfin and Greg Krelenstein, a recovering Misshape, are partying like its, well, 1999 at Bowery Electric. The name of said party? Why, Loser, of course!
I still listen to the music that I listened to in high school, which was the 90s, said Arfin, whose book, Dear Diary, chronicles some of her high school experiences. I was like, total hardcore punk riot grrrl, and after that I was a total hip-hop raver.
The music at Loser is great, and its a huge relief to know that for the first time in a while, Ushers Love in this Club cannot and will not be played.
Me and Greg differ on the music, Arfin said. I play mostly Dee Lite and Jay-Z and Biggie, along with some alt and punk stuff that no one wants to hear. Hes into Alanis and Liz Phairmore commercial stuff.
Usually from around midnight to 1 a.m. Ill do an hour-long hip-hop set, she said. Its just really hard to go from Alice in Chains to Bobby Brown, you know?
Oh, well. Whatever. Nevermind.
