JD & the Evils

Written by Joe S. Harrington on May 22, 2001. Posted in Miscellaneous, Posts

If you dig the chronic, and are partial to funkified sounds of the downhome/homegrown variety (as opposed to canned sassafras), then you probably should hear JD & the Evil’s Dynamite Band. This record is the best approximation of drugs and funk since vintage Funkadelic, and it was recorded just a few months ago. As "live"

Two Houston St. Restaurants

Written by Andrey Slivka on May 22, 2001. Posted in Miscellaneous, Posts

For various uninteresting reasons, I’ve found myself walking into restaurants in the last few weeks in inappropriate sartorial conditions. I don’t mean anything especially scandalous; it’s just that I’ve been a bit off. All, like, scroungy and unshaven–sockless, wearing, like, sneakers and shit.

Casey Kait and Stephen Weiss’ Digital Hustlers, the Please Kill Me of Silicon Alley

Written by John Strausbaugh on May 15, 2001. Posted in Miscellaneous, Posts

It’ll be okay with Casey Kait and Stephen Weiss if their book Digital Hustlers (ReganBooks/HarperCollins, 344 pages, $26) becomes known as the Please Kill Me of Silicon Alley.

Last month, a team of explorers backed by a Canadian venture (Canadians found Atlantis, ugh) confirmed the existence of large, underwater stone structures off the coast of Cuba’s Guanahacabibes Peninsula. The team first spotted these structures back in 2000, so they called in a robot. It went down in July and photographed huge, smooth blocks–looking

Dr. Blood, Magician/Clown for the Older Kids

Written by C.J. Sullivan on January 15, 2001. Posted in Miscellaneous, Posts

David Kaye was born in 1960 and grew up in a seemingly typical middle-class family out in Flushing, Queens. He was what some would call a nice Jewish boy. He wanted to grow up and become a magician. His sleight-of-hand dream came true and his conjuring act included clowning and comedy. But his magic career
