there were a ton of photogs in place for the opportunity to capture rock moments. they could post them to the first saturday flickr and possibly get comments from bob gruen. shar's nowhere near a rock photog but i do take pics at concerts. here is my best effort that won't be on flickr.

sharocks first saturday at brooklyn musuem
there were a ton of photogs in place for the opportunity to capture rock moments. they could post them to the first saturday flickr and possibly get comments from bob gruen. shar's nowhere near a rock photog but i do take pics at concerts. here is my best effort that won't be on flickr.
girls at bowery ballroom
chris owens' vocals were impeccable against the sometimes distorted cacophony of electric guitar, but mostly his lyrics of heartbreak filled an empty place in my heart of hearts. they played my favs "ghost mouth", "laura", and "lust for life". on the later the crowd erupted in dance. other noteworthy tidbits was the revelation that "headache" was the first song chris wrote. they also treated us to some treats like the b-side, "solitude" from hellhole ratrace (hhrr) 10" and the new tune "oh boy".
i did also snag the set list from the new guitarist. it includes guitar tunes too. notice the extra special daniel johnston cover wasn't listed. emilio of the dig was promoting their show post show and was also stoked about the cover. he said beck does a sweet version. it's aight. i have been partial to basia's take, but chris might have hit it particularly home for me. so especially fitting to end the concert with an uplifting ditty.

fltgc: team gallery, artist's space, deitch, 92ytribeca
belated fltgc: team gallery and artist's space. jac and i were sidetracked last week, so we hit up what we intended on last week. first up was team with mutean/rosenblum's untitled. both jac and i were interested when we saw the write up and pic in tony. we both were taken by the notes attached to the paintings.
when one's heart has been broken into, all sorts of weakness are free to enter, shame, anger, stupid indignation, stupid fears - stupid laughter, too
because there is no escape from what does not exist.
my fav was the later. the note and the image kinda suits how i'm feeling lately.
next up was marc camille chaimowicz's enough tiranny recalled, 1972-2009. this was our first venture back to the newly renovated artists space, which is now much more open. we dreamed of how awesome it would be to live in the space. chaimowicz has turned the space into a den of lights, found objects and pools of fishes.



we threw in a few more galleries for good measure. at deitch grand, kristin baker has a vibrant exhibit up entitled splitting twilight. it just opened yesterday and going on until december 19.



last up was 92ytribeca, jac has been walking by the exhibit everyday. jessica dressner has an exhibit up on chinese astrology. dude, we had to support our people. her's her take on mine and jac's sign. isn't it cute?

ricky gervais at carnegie hall
ridiculously belated live performance: ricky gervais at carnegie hall. golly, oh golly! shar's loved sir gervais (he should be knighted in my book) for ages, so when i heard he was coming to new york i had to get tickets. luckily, karen and dean were equally as stoked as i was.opening for ricky was one todd barry, who i'm not too fond of (ask julie). he made a crack about his californian friends that didn't want to eat mexican food in new york. ummm, todd i will agree that there are mexicans in new york that make good mexican food, but you missed an important point....burritos. it's all about the cali burritos. dear lordy loo, i miss me some el farito super carne asada.
louis c.k. had taped an intro bit for ricky about his consumption of a certain bodily fluid. it was hilarious to say the least. disgusting, but funny. he ran through subjects like fat people, gay marriage, charity as gifts and so on. my favorite by far was when he pulled out an old book he had as a child about the classic story of noah's ark. ricky began to read and poke fun at evolution, god and gay innuendos in children's illustrations. it was classic gervais. he makes stand-up seem so effortless and on the fly.
the finale had one special muppet guest duet with him on "new york, new york." ricky sure has some pipes but he was in a band afterall.

fiume nights
belated discovery: fiume nights (aka vincent moon's blog). shar's been a fan of vince's for a year and then some. he interweaves all my favs into film - travel, great tunes and dogma style aesthetics in nice nuggets of art. so i stumbled upon his blog after seeing his noah and the whale piece sunday. charlie left me heartbroken and the clip below cheered me up as they take to the streets of billyburg. enjoy!

reason for a case of the mondays: niners 14, colts 18. argh, shar's been taken a beating in her pigskin pick 'ems and the niners are losing close games really hits her where it hurts. i'm still proud of my boys yesterday for covering that insane spread. keep the faith!also, those yanks came back to take game 4. the sporting life has not been good for shar. however congrats to meb keflezighi for winning the ny marathon. that's a bright moment in shar's sports book.
