A blog about Bloomsbury Academic's 33 1/3 series, our other books about music, and the world of sound in general.

Friday, November 13, 2009

Just wanted to bring your attention to two NYC events put on by Mike McGonigal, author of the 33 1/3 on My Bloody Valentine's Loveless, among other creative pursuits.

First up, this Saturday night, Nov. 14th 8-12PM, I'm DJ'ing all gospel music at the ACE Hotel (20 W 29th St in Manhattan -- 212 679-2222) in celebration of the release of the 4 hour boxset I compiled and produced for Tompkins Square, FIRE IN MY BONES: Raw, Rare + Other Worldly African-American Gospel. I'm bringing a lot of records out with me, the compilation has gotten good reviews thus far, and it should be fun! Also, it is free.

Here's a great review of Fire In My Bones from the Onion AV Club.

Then we have a reading/ signing/ slide show next Thursday, November 19, at 8 PM at Spoonbill & Sugartown (218 Bedford Avenue, Williamsburg). There will be a slide show and reading given by LUC SANTE in honor of the brand new YETI publication, 'FOLK PHOTOGRAPHY: The American Real-Photo Postcard 1905-1930.' Also on the bill is PETER DOYLE, on a rare visit from Sydney, presenting his indelible Crooks Like Us, based on spectacular 1920-era mugshots from the New South Wales Police Archives. This will be crazy fun, and is also free -- get there early!

Here's a link to a Luc Sante essay/interview from Artforum.
