day 559: the xx – summerstage
Thousands of people camped outside because they couldn’t get into the free Summerstage event. Including me :(
day 534: obama in town, houston st lock down.
They shut down Houston St when Obama was in town. Traffic re-routed, cars being towed, it took me 1hr to cross over the street. It was chaos.
day 520: Danger Mouse & David Lynch
Last night I attended the launch of Danger Mouse’s (in collaboration of the recently departed Sparklehorse) new album Dark Night of the Soul. The album was launch via 50 photographs by David Lynch which intrepreted every track on the album. I’m not a massive fan of David Lynch, however, I was pretty impressed by his photographic eye and vision. Go see it at the Morrison Hotel Gallery.
Dark Night of the Soul included a roll call of guests with Lynch himself, the Flaming Lips, Gruff Rhys, Jason Lytle, Julian Casablancas, Black Francis, Iggy Pop, James Mercer, Nina Persson, Suzanne Vega and the late Vic Chesnutt.
day 499: creators project nyc
On the weekend I went to The Creators Project launch party at Milk Studios. It was one of the best events I’ve been to in NYC. Spike Jonze premiered his new film, exhibtions and installations by famous architects, musians and artists. I also got see MIA, Interpol, The Rapture, Gang Gang Dance, XXXChange, Mark Ronson and Neon Indian. As I said AMAZING EVENT.

day 499: the creators project nyc – MIA
I had to do a separate post for MIA as her set was off the hook. There was so much energy. I made my way to the front middle and I felt like I was body surfing a wave of crowd and sweat – it was out of control!
