A music documentary generally does a couple things. It might give you an insight into a bands identity and recording process. It may assert the importance of a band or artist. And, if its successful draws you to a certain era, a certain experience, and a (re)evaluation of music and how it connects to people and more importantly to culture at large. Now generally how the last thing happens is that a bunch of high profile names come in and tell you what you're missing, why something is important, and why you should pay attention. [...]

I could spend months combing crates in Spanish Harlem, and still lack Oliver Wang's knowledge of Boogaloo, that fusion of Afro-Caribbean polyrhythms, Cuban Jazz, doo-wop and soul that flourished in New York and Latin America from 1965-1970. If you're looking for a definitive take on the music and culture, his Da Capo anthologized essay from last year, is comprehensive and sharp. By contrast, my recent Pop and Hiss interview with Los Angeles revivalists, The Boogaloo Assassins, is little more than an ABC-guide. I also recommend O-Dub's LA Weekly piece [...]

New York slayed me in the best possible way. I had only seen a few parts of it before on a trip in 2003 to the Grammy Awards (I saw mostly the tall buildings of the Financial District, the neon Times Square area, and Madison Square Garden) so I missed out on so much of its character before this past weekend. My friend's boyfriend James is a walking New York history book, like even better than those headsets they give you at Alcatraz. Spurred by a childhood interest in Spiderman and other superheroes from NYC, he soaked up just about [...]
we got to the restaurant quarter after 9 and there were hardly anyone there. true, it's still early, but it was also sunday night; either way, it didn't look like there's going to be a crowd. which suited us fine. beyond tired after 4 intense days running a conference for over 1,000 people, we welcomed the chance to keep to ourselves. monica , carlos 's wife, order a bunch of appetizers for us. she pointed to me and told the waiter to hurry before i starved to death. the duck tacos, looking [...]
