Chris and Glenn were often referred to as the songwriting pair descended from that other great British songwriting pair. Their first 3 or 4 albums were loaded with great songs.

bloviatrix Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 I've lost track of the number of times I've seen Squeeze. But the best show I ever saw them play was at The Ritz in July, '88. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holland, Lavis and Kakoulli were all in place when I saw them. And I now recall I reviewed the first album for the NME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchW Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 An interesting evening last week at The Baryshnikov Arts Center. Woolgathering, which was an early book of prose and poetry by Patti Smith, turned into a spoken-word opera (I just copy the words, I don't make them up) and dance, composed and directed by Oliver Tompkins Ray, who at one time played guitar in the Patti Smith Group. Mikhail was the "special guest." The NY Times review is here...Review: The Miraculous Simplicity of Patti Smith’s Childhood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloviatrix Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 (edited) Ben Folds at The Brooklyn Paramount last night. Great show. For the second part of his set he had the audience write down their requests and send them to the stage via paper airplanes which he then picked up randomly from the floor. This led to him attempting unsuccessfully to play a cover of the The Clash's Lost in the Supermarket, an impromptu Bruce Springsteen improvisation and a singalong to a bastardized version of Sweet Caroline. We had third row seats so when been mentioned his show Bowery Ballroom show in 2001 and I screamed in response to being there, I actually got acknowledged. We had never been to this venue before. It's really spectacular. Spouse learned that many years ago LIU used to play basketball on the stage and realized that back in '79 he played there for the Yeshiva High School B-ball Championship.

I love that sliver of campus. Always have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchW Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 Both my dad and Sig Eater’s dad were LIU grads! I think it was the college that took GI Bill students, when veterans were actually cared about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
