Nothing makes me happier than going to Odeon, and Lucien. Theyâre classic New York. The lighting at Odeon is perfection. Itâs impossible to look bad there. Walking downstairs to the ladies room, you can feel the history of itâs patrons of yesteryear: Ed Ruscha, Warhol, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Leo Castelli, etc.I love to go to Lucien alone and have a steak at the bar. The bartenders are the sweetest and I always run into someone I know. I spent New Years Eve there and I swear to GOD itâs the best New Years Eve Iâve had in ages. Everyoneâs gorgeous, cool, and interesting. The people watching is fantastic. The owner (Zach) is a hunk with bee stung lips. If he nods at you, it feels like youâve won the lottery. Iâm kidding. But also not. Go there with friends to talk all night about how the person you're dating isnât watching your stories or texting you back OR have dinner and a cocktail to celebrate, right before heading off to the discotheque. Iâm really trying to bring back the term discotheque. Weâll see what happens after this comes out. Maybe itâll sweep the nation.

Ok this is basic but................
The bf's lovely parents took us out to dinner here last spring and it genuinely lived up to its reputation as a city staple. The bone marrow and steak tartare were to die for and the rest of the table seemed to enjoy their oysters and escargot. My entree was good but forgettable (as in I can't remember what I ordered but remember liking it)--next time I go will definitely be for hors d'oeurves and wine. Opted for the Grand Marnier soufflĂŠ for the table & it was yummy as well.

Hey tyler hopefully this doesnât violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s.
Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha).
For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I canât wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! â¤ď¸

I will fail to explain just how much this band meant to me in the 90s.
So I will borrow from AV Club who did a fine job of distilling it:
âUnwound is the best band of the â90s. Not just because of how prolific, consistent, and uncompromising it was, but because of how perfectly Unwound nested in a unique space between some of the most vital forms of music that decade: punk, post-rock, indie rock, post-hardcore, slow-core, and experimental noise. That jumble of subgenres doesnât say much; in fact, it falls far short of what Unwound truly synthesized and stood for. Unwound stood for Unwound. But in a decade where most bands were either stridently earnest or stridently ironic, Unwound wasnât stridently anything. It was only itself. In one sense Unwound was the quietest band of the â90s, skulking around like a nerdy terror cell. In another sense it was the loudest, sculpting raw noise into contorted visions of inner turmoil and frustration.â
R.I.P. Vern Rumsey.
This is their finest song, from their finest album.
I really canât say enough about the sheer bloody minded genius of this group. đ¤
