Smoke Signal #16 Release Party at The Newsstand
July 2nd, 2013 by chocko
Marcellus Hall, James Romberger and Josh Bayer at The Newsstand
The fine folks at Smoke Signal, a free quarterly comics anthology, recently celebrated it’s 16th issue last Friday at an awesome event at The Newsstand. The Newsstand is a diy subterranean pop-up shop located at the Metropolitan Avenue station in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The place got started by Lele Saveri of the 8-Ball Zine Fair and they sell independent publications, ‘zines, comic books, records…my kinda place! Marcellus Hall provided the music at the event singing songs and playing on the acoustic guitar and harmonica. Marcellus is also a contributor to Smoke Signal #16 and his comic strips “Bill Dogbreath” circa the 90’s are definitely a highlight of the issue. Other contributors from the recent anthology including James Romberger, James Ulmer and Josh Bayer worked on a mural while curious straphangers and comic fans hung out slurping free ice pops. If you missed the event, come on down to Brooklyn and pick up a free issue of Smoke Signal at Desert Island (540 Metropolitan Ave.) and while you’re at it, stop by The Newsstand before it’s gone. Check their website for more information and event hours.
The artists at work: James Romberger, James Ulmer and Josh Bayer

EL-P + Killer Mike = Run The Jewels
June 26th, 2013 by chocko
Killer Mike + EL-P at Santos Party House 2012
The brand new album by Run The Jewels just dropped today on Fool’s Gold Records. After Brooklyn’s EL-P collaborated with Atlanta’s Killer Mike on R.A.P. Music in 2012, the dynamic duo took it a step further with their current project trading verses with guests Big Boi and Prince Paul. A full summer tour with Despot and Kool AD (Das Racist) is about to blast off. That tour should be off the meat rack! Chocko and Mr. C were at EL-P’s album release show for CANCER4CURE last year at Santos Party House in NYC. Check out the photos and a couple videos from that show (shot by Chocko) which looks like a precursor to what will be a dope 2013 hip hop tour. Chocko’s all about the deluxe vinyl edition, but if you want to download it, do it. It’s FREE in exchange for an email address!

Austra played Other Music
June 21st, 2013 by chocko
Austra was in NYC to celebrate the release of their brand new, second album, Olympia, out now on Domino. They recently played a sold out show at Music Hall of Williamsburg. They also performed an in-store at Other Music where fans of the Canadian electro-pop band were treated to a set which showcased songs from the new album. Frontwoman Katie Stelmanis mentioned to the packed in audience that it was the first time for them to be play in a record store. Katie’s powerful and ethereal, operatic voice was in full effect along with synthesizers and live drums and bass in your face. Austra punctuated the evening with “Lose It” from their debut album Feel It Break. Katie stuck around after the set to sign albums and posters. Yes, I went into fanboy mode and got my CD signed. Go to Other Music (15 E. 4th St) or a record store near you, and pick up a copy of Olympia. Check out some videos from the instore event below!

the Jackie Chan shuffle in the big apple
June 21st, 2013 by Mr. C
(Who me?)
Jackie Chan was on-hand in NYC on June 10 to accept the Star Asia Lifetime Achievement Award at Walter Reade Theater in Lincoln Center presented by the team responsible for organizing The New York Asian Film Festival – Subway Cinema! It was an award long due in recognizing the most decorated & skilled International Action star in my book – Jackie Chan! I grew up in a chinese household that watched Jackie Chan profusely in old school kung fu period piece movies as well as his modern day action comedy romps when he teamed up with his 2 peking opera school mates – Sammo Hung & Yuen Biao which were some of my favorite Jackie films! It was an honor to be in the same room with Jackie – twice! Once when he was awarded with the Lifetime Achievement Award at Lincoln Center followed with a screening of his new film Chinese Zodiac and then again the following night as he appeared at the Asia Society on Park ave for a brief Q&A with Asia Society film curator La Frances Hui followed by a screening of Drunken Master 2! It was certainly a privilege to see Jackie Chan in person with his animated self as he talked with Grady Hendrix and La Frances Hui. Thank you Subway Cinema & Asia Society for making this all possible! Enjoy the Q&A video at Walter Reade Theater by our Asian film fanatic friend and Jackie Chan superfan – Earl the WanderingAsian and our very own Chocko for the Asia Society video!

Get a taste of The Jackie Chan Experience, a retrospective of films that he directed and starred in! The Jackie Chan Experience film series starts on Monday – June 24th at Lincoln Center! Get your Hong Kong action on! Most of the films are being shown in 35mm format! Go!

Maniac at Times Scare NYC
June 21st, 2013 by chocko
(l-r) Elijah Wood, Genevieve Alexandra, Franck Khalfoun, Jan Broberg and Megan Duffy
Last Monday night, Fangoria, IFC Midnight and Times Scare tag teamed for a preview screening of MANIAC with director Franck Khalfoun and members of the cast including Elijah Wood, in the house for a Q&A. MANIAC is a modern day remake of the William Lustig 1980 cult slasher movie starring Joe Spinell as a deranged lunatic on the loose in NYC who scalps his victims. This new remake, directed by Franck Khalfoun casts Elijah Wood as Frank, a serial killer with “Mommy issues” who stalks and terrorizes his pretty female victims before slicing off their scalps for his mannequin collection. The movie is shot in the killer’s point of view and takes place on dark and desolate streets of Los Angeles. MANIAC is a horror movie not for the squeamish…it is a gory retelling complete with some brutal and bloody killing. I didn’t think I would like the film, but it reeled me in from the opening scene where Frank’s first victim of the movie gets an uppercut stab with a knife through the skull before she could even scream. The plot was interesting and unpredictable which always make for a great movie-going experience in the oftentimes clichéd horror genre. MANIAC opens June 21 at IFC Center in New York City.

Following the movie the audience was treated to a Q&A which was moderated by Fangoria managing editor Michael Gingol and featured actor Elijah Wood and director Franck Khalfoun. Pump up the volume and check out the video above! It was a great movie event at Times Scare (a former Peep Show venue) which featured not only a theater, but also a restaurant, bar (the drink specials of the night: The Maniac Martini, The Bloodletting and The Scalper) and a haunted house attraction! After the screening a group of us went into the haunted house together. It is one nightmarish, claustrophobic fun time which had us scared by ghouls hiding in dark corners and chainsaw wielding insane asylum patients. The haunted house features plenty of meticulously done set pieces in a maze of pure horror which also featured bloody torsos swinging from the ceiling and a victim convulsing in an electric chair. Highly recommended!

The New York Asian Film Festival is pleased to announce a special 40th anniversary screening of Bruce Lee’s epic martial arts masterpiece, ENTER THE DRAGON at the Walter Reade theater in Lincoln Center on Sunday, June 30th.

MTV Raps. His has recently opened shows in NY, LA and Las Vegas, and last year his art sold at Sotheby’s fall contemporary auction.
Chenguang Ren AKA MC Yan is known as the Godfather of Chinese Hip Hop due to his work with Hong Kong rap outfit LMF in the 1990’s. He was also one of the first graffiti writers to gain fame, and is known for his political activism. He has designed products for Nike, Clot and Remy Martin among others, and created new works at the Tate Modern in London and at Paris’ FINAC.

Spectacle: The Music Video exhibit
June 19th, 2013 by Mr. C
(I want my MTV! + YO MTV RAPS!)
I was lucky enough to catch the 2nd to last day of Spectacle: The Music Video exhibit on display at the Museum of The Moving Image in Astoria, Queens. We were up and about the Spectacle exhibit a few times during its installation run but of course movie screenings at the Moving Image like The Kick and lectures by Fab 5 Freddy had us focused on other things. I’m glad I spent some time at the Spectacle exhibit because it brought back a lot of memories while growing up watching some of these videos from the 80s & 90s. Music videos on channels like MTV and public TV shows like Video Music Box were partly responsible for introducing pop culture to a whole generation X of music fans! I apparently missed a few videos at the exhibit like Peter Gabriel’s ‘Sledgehammer’ and Missy Elliot’s influence in the “Body Language” room for the choreography excellence in her music videos but who can blame me with over 300 videos, artifacts, and interactive installations scattered all about! This Music Video exhibition celebrated the art and history of music videos from Aha’s “Take on Me” to David Bowie and Madonna to contemporary artists like Jay Z & Kanye West. Watching Radiohead’s 2008 “House of Cards” video was also a trip and a half! Apparently, House of Cards was the first music video that did not use cameras but instead used lasers and scanners to render 3D images. Laying eyes on Bjork’s “Wanderlust” video was also an experience in itself. The story, costumes, creatures, and demons in that video rendered in CGI, special effects, and 3D – lent to some pretty wild images! The exhibit also had a nice display for the groundbreaking AHA video “Take on Me”. The video featured pencil sketched animations forming a live action image.

(Agent Provocateur installation at Spectacle Exhibit)
One of my favorite installations from the exhibit was ‘Agent Provocateur’. This fun setup consisted of a row of peep-hole stations supplied with headphones on each stall. Each station featured a music video to be watched by peeking in the peep-hole and listened by putting the headphones on. Videos on display included N.W.A.’s “Straight outta Compton”, Madonna’s “Justify my love” & “Like a prayer”, M.I.A.’s “Born Free”, Public Enemy’s “By the time I get to Arizona”, and Tyler the Creator’s “Yonkers” to just name a few. The Agent Provocateur theme as stated by them:
Music Videos have always pushed boundaries, prompted controversy, titillated, and helped accelerate social change. These videos address themes such as Racism, Sexism, Sexual Orientation, Poverty, and Alienation, due to their adult frankness or just plain raunchiness. They were shown, if at all, late a night and accompanied by advisory warnings.

Spectacle: The Music Video is organized by the Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati and curated by Jonathan Wells and Meg Grey Wells of Flux. Exhibition design by Logan. The exhibition at Museum of the Moving Image is presented in partnership with Sonos and VEVO.

Egg Rolls and Egg Creams Festival
June 13th, 2013 by Mr. C
Last weekend was another fun-filled celebration on Eldridge Street on the Lower East Side of Manhattan where gleeful culture clashes of immigrant Chinese rubbed elbows with the Jewish Community. The Egg Rolls and Egg Creams Festival has been an annual event for 13 years – created to celebrate these two cultures living side by side in harmony. For a $5 combo of an egg roll and an egg cream, you can get right down to the core of Chinese American – Jewish American eats!
(Steve Weintraub – Yiddish Dance Master)
(Michael Winograd and the Klezmer Orchestra)
The center of this outdoor/indoor joyous event took place on Eldridge Street between Canal & Division Street with the Eldridge Street Synagogue as the focal point for the celebrations. Festivities included musical performances by Michael Winograd and the Klezmer Orchestra, the Chinatown Senior Center folk orchestra, East River Ensemble of Mencius Society for the Arts, & Cantor Eric Freeman. Steve Weintraub provided the fun dance routines to move along to the Klezmer music! Cultural and language exchanges took place in the form of Chinese & Yiddish lessons while Mah Jong lessons and play took place on the street. Folk Art demonstrations in Jewish papercutting, scribal arts, Tzit Tzit tying, Chinese brush painting & calligraphy, & Chinese knot tying took place in the Eldridge Street Synagogue. Events targeted for the kids included face painting, yarmulke making, designing a chinese paper fan, & creating your own lion mask. Challah making and a Tea Ceremony rounded out the food demonstrations. A Peking Opera performance with a Face Changing routine anchored the day’s event.

Big Apple BBQ Festival
June 12th, 2013 by Mr. C
(Skylight Inn with their double cleaver whole hog chopping action at the Festival)
(Whole Hog Sandwich – Skylight Inn)
The Big Apple Barbecue Block party went out with a smoky bang last weekend at Madison Square Park! Once again we over-loaded ourselves with some porky delights enough to get the Dukes of Hazzard County out and about with Boss Hog hot on their trails! Where’s the Boars Nest at? My favorite meal of the day went to the folks from Ayden, North Carolina – SKYLIGHT INN! They served up a scrumptious whole hog sandwich which in my mind blew the competition away. It’s a wrap! The chopped up tender pieces of whole hog including shards of fat & cracklings, bits of finely chopped cole slaw with an added dash of hot sauce – all resting up on a soft pillow of hamburger buns to absorb all the juices. It simply was divine! It was smoky, porky, and crunchy all in one bite! Some other favorites included Big Bob Gibson who also served up a mean & tender/smoky whole hog sandwich w/ a bit of the sweet BBQ sauce lathered all about with the additional white-ranch style sauce accompanying the hog party! Jim n Nicks was another repeat offender – one of our usual favorites serving their smoked out spicy sausage accompanied by pimento-jalapeno cheese! Ed Mitchell’s & Scott’s BBQ rounded out my other whole hog sandwich cravings as I was ready to tap-out with a three count after those delights. We eventually went in with the kill at Blue Smoke who served up a delicious salt & peppered beef rib alongside a tasty pickle!
How many days left for the Big Apple BBQ Fest 2014?

Photos From Outer Space 4
June 11th, 2013 by chocko
Once again, Chocko has been combing the streets with camera in hand and ready for action. Q-Tip (A Tribe Called Quest) was taking part in a Music + Film panel at SVA Theater during the Tribeca Film Festival.
Lead singer of THE NATIONAL, Matt Berninger also took part in the panel. He spoke proudly of his band’s eerie love songs being featured in television shows such as GAME OF THRONES and BOARDWALK EMPIRE. One of THE NATIONAL’s songs is featured in the film WARRIOR, a mixed martial arts movie. A scene in the movie features the saddest NATIONAL song playing while two fighters brutally beat each other up. His band is featured in the documentary MISTAKEN FOR STRANGERS which was directed by his brother Tom Berninger during the High Violet Tour.
Legendary West Coast gangster rapper Snoop Dogg recently stopped by the Apple store in Soho to discuss his new moniker Snoop Lion and introduce some clips from the documentary REINCARNATED. Snoop is now all about feel-good reggae music and positivity. On the way out the building, Snoop signed some albums and posed for pics with fans.
Damien Echols of the West Memphis 3 at one his favorite New York hangouts, Sacred Tattoo in SoHo, a tattoo parlor where he spoke, did a Q&A and signed his book LIFE AFTER DEATH. Recommended reading! He talked about the worst years in his life and after spending 18 years in prison, relocating to NYC…walking the streets of Chinatown for hours soaking in the sights and smells. Sacred Tattoo was the first places he hung out and felt comfortable around people. Damien and his wife now lives in Salem, MA where he recently opened The Hermetic Reiki Center.
More fun at the Apple store…Edie Brickell (best known for her 1988 hit “What I Am”) and legendary funnyman Steve Martin recently stopped by to play a couple songs and talk about their recently released album “Love Has Come For You” which features a modern day take on bluegrass music. Great banjo playing by Steve and Edie’s vocals are syrupy sweet!
The “Godfather” of Hip Hop Afrika Bambaataa made an appearance at the Filmmatic event at Sunshine Cinema which feautured 3 rarely seen hip hop documentaries including “Beat This” by Dick Fontaine (1984).
Rachael Yamagata outside the David Rubenstein Atrium in Lincoln Center. We missed her performance but caught her outside during a post-show cigarette break. Chocko took a couple photos and she awkwardly admitted to not knowing how to pose. C’mon now, I know she’s lying.
The Riot Grrrl Collection: Book Launch and Signing at Fales Library Reading Room (l-r) Lisa Darms (curator of the Riot Grrrl Collection and editor of the Riot Grrrl Collection book), Ramdasha Bikceem (GUNK ‘zine) Johanna Fateman (Le Tigre) and Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill + Le Tigre). The Riot Grrrl Collection book documents the feminist movement in punk during the 80’s and 90’s by reproducing ‘zines and printed matter from that era. The book is out now on The Feminist Press.
Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke were at Apple Store along with director Richard Linklater to discuss their new movie Before Midnight. If you have followed the characters of Jesse and Celine since 1995’s Before Sunrise and also saw Before Sunset in 2004, you will enjoy being reunited with the funny and chatty romantic couple once again. Not only will the ladies enjoy the “Before Trilogy” but the dudes will dig it too.

EDO POP – Lady Aiko
June 10th, 2013 by Mr. C
Faced with a 30 minute time limit at Japan Society for the EDO POP Art Exhibit because of technical issues we encountered trying to check-in our CitiBikes at the 47th Street & 1st Avenue stations, we brisked through the installation just to at least appreciate the visuals of the historic ukiyo-e woodblock prints from the EDO period (1615-1868) alongside contemporary art by living artists. This exhibit was set to close on the following day which unfortunately, we could not make. We wished we could of spent some more time reading and just soaking in the collage of traditional artwork mingled in with the modern. That being said, what drew me in to EDO POP to begin with was the installation by Lady Aiko. Lady Aiko is a Japanese born street artist who uses stencils and spray paint on walls to create pop collage images with bright colors that jump out of the surface. Her murals at the Japan Society were stunning and serene to look at. We first came upon some of Lady Aiko’s creations when she was a collaborator with FAILE as well as some of her own individual works displayed at the Jonathan Levine gallery and at the famous mural location on the Bowery & Houston Street.
Aiko’s murals at the Japan Society were located in a room underneath a huge skylight.

Starring Philip Quinaz, Alison Fyhrie, Mary Grill, Damian Lanigan, Michael Lidondici, Chris Manley, Anna Martemucci & Brian Shoaf
On the eve of their wedding, Alison gets cold feet and decides to break up with her fiancé Phil. But rather than face the embarrassment of calling off the ceremony, Alison suggests to Phil that they proceed with a sham wedding. Phil is more than game to try, secretly hoping that a surprise gift he has for Alison will ultimately change her mind. Yet once the guests begin to arrive, more complications ensue than either of them could have ever imagined – even if they did know their wedding was bullshit.
