    Friday Nights @ Duane Park in Tribeca 

    Last Friday, an old friend was in town and we were scheduled to meet up. I was very excited to see her, but then the destination came through via text: We are going to Santos Party House. Needless to say, I was not excited about the destination. So much so, I opted out of the evening altogether. But then the second text came through… How about Burlesque in Tribeca?

    Upon arrival, I quickly realized that I had just stumbled upon my favorite NY nightlife experience to date. I don’t write reviews of much, but this place was inspiring. The environment was simply amazing. Having spent the last few weeks trying to work a little bit of substance into my life, I was blown away by Duane Park on this Friday night. It was just what I needed. It was like I had just walked into the 1930s. The dim, totally vintage lighting, with a killer chandelier hanging over the middle of the restaurant. A small, foot-tall stage, lit from the floor by bulbs that may as well have been 50 years old. The stage was just big enough for a single performer, complete with the vintage mic, and flanked by a jazz trio of a piano, stand up bass, and trumpet/singer.

    Each performer was of the highest caliber. Hot as shit. Not too gimmicky, paying full respect to the art form. No annoying drag queen hosts adding unnecessary comic relief.   No shoddy sound system typically reserved for indie rock bands.  It was stripped down, pure and simple.  I left craving more. Someone has nailed this experience so well, they deserve an award. So check your calendar. Is it Friday? Then call me . Let’s go.

    Tupac Shakur – The Biopic 

    I was always completely fascinated with Tupac Shakur. I liked his music, and obviously some of it was undeniable, but I was never a huge fan of his music. But as a person, he was so compelling and inspirational. When he died, I remember thinking how disappointing it would be to not get to see him grow old.

    I never really identified with Biggie the same way. Having moved to Brooklyn and felt his influence, and to the extent that a white kid can Texas can understand his influence, I am blown away. I finally watched Notorious and I loved it. Gravy killed it as Biggie. Seeing the portrayal of Puffy in the early years was a little freaky considering the mogul he has evolved to. The whole thing got me thinking about what the Tupac biopic would look like.

    Since I cannot even begin to think who could and/or deserves to play him, I had a thought:

      And this puts Sweden on the 3:d place of the biggest music exporting countries after the US and UK. Luckily, we have artists like Peter, Bjorn and John, José Gonzales, Robyn, The Hives, Mando Diao, Tingsek, Lykke Li, The Knife/ Fever Ray, Tiger Lou and more to make up for it.

      Cheers! :)

        inwardsun = awesome. Have you ever heard of Hastens beds? I travelled to Sweden to visit them once.

        • inwardsun 12:15 pm on June 11, 2009 Permalink

          Hey again, Hastens beds?….well, the beds (Hästens) are famous (blue and white checkered and sooo comfy) but maybe there is a band that call them selves that?? I’m confused, haha! Anyway, cool that you went to Sweden, Stockholm is an awesome place! Please check out the above artists, especially Tingsek since you might know some of the others already. Have a great day!
