In Campbell Scott and Stanely Tucci’s Big Night (1996), Chef Primo (Tony Shalhoub) prepares timpano, pasta with a special crust. “Inside,” Primo says, “[are] all of the most important things, in the world.” The same is true of good film, and with music, friends, family, but most importantly food, Chef is un Primo timpano.
A deliberate, staccato bass comes quietly…Cymbals crash! Chef Carl Casper (Jon Favreau) is at work. A tapping drum and tambourine fill out the suave sound. Bam! Knives dice through greens. Vittles sizzle on the stove. Butter…oh, the butter. If your mouth does not water, your eyes will. Stop instagramming your dinners. This is how food was meant to look! The drums and bass pick up, ascending to a cool, killer vibe. Clap! Clap! Clap! Indeed, Liquid Liquid, if we cannot eat it, we will sure as hell applaud it.

As told to Jennifer Vineyard It started with my own punk-rock band. I recorded a single and an Ep. I was friends with Ed Bahlman, who ran 99 Records, and he put out like Esg, Bush Tetras, Glenn Branca, Liquid Liquid—just kind of cool, more underground records. He walked me through the process of putting out my own records independently. As my love of hip-hop grew, I felt like it would be fun to make a hip-hop record. At that time, there were no hip-hop albums, only 12-inch singles, and the 12-inch singles that were coming out weren’t really reflecting what the hip-hop scene was like. The hip-hop records that were coming out were slick, and were basically like R&B records, just with people rapping on them. The club I was going to in those days, Negril on Second Avenue, one night a week they had a hip-hop...

From its humble beginnings six years ago, Mono No Aware has grown into a major annual expanded cinema event, as well as a wonderful organization promoting a deep appreciation for the art of filmmaking.
The 7th annual edition of Mono No Aware’s signature event will screen for two nights at Lightspace Studios in Brooklyn, New York on December 6 and 7. Both nights feature one-time-only cinematic performances utilizing 16mm, 8mm and 35mm film projection, as well as “alternative light” projections, performed live by filmmaking artists.
The one performance that the Underground Film Journal highly recommends is Jodie Mack‘s “Let Your Light Shine,” featuring an abstract animated film watched through special prismatic glasses worn by audience members. The Journal experienced a screening of “Let Your Light Shine” in Los Angeles that we considered might be the future of cinema.
Other performances include, also on the 6th, a return by Mono No Aware regular Joel Schlemowitz,...

On 2nd April 2011, LCD Soundsystem played its final show at Madison Square Garden. LCD frontman James Murphy (see our interview with the man himself here) made the conscious decision to disband one of the most celebrated and influential bands of its generation at the peak of its popularity, ensuring that the band would go out on top with the biggest and most ambitious concert of its career. The instantly sold out, near four-hour extravaganza did just that, moving the thousands in attendance to tears of joy and grief, with New York magazine calling the event “a marvel of pure craft” and Time magazine lamenting “we may never dance again.” The gig saw LCD supported by post-punk group Liquid Liquid as well as a handful of special guests including The Juan MacLean and members of Arcade Fire and Hot Chip.

“Downtown 81 represents Manhattan’s last stand as a beatnik haven for creatively driven impoverished artists, a moment where everyone was connected in one giant electrical circuit creating their own cultural power.”
Downtown 81, featuring a nineteen year old Jean-Michel Basquiat, captured the movers and shakers from the no wave, hip-hop, graffiti, and alternative fashion scenes, as they collided down in the depths of New York’s lower east side. Originally shot by director Edo Bertoglio in the winter of 1980-81, it remained unreleased for nearly twenty years before being re-assembled in 1999 by co-producer Maripol Fauque (a Polaroid photographer and fashion designer, behind the iconic look for Madonna on the cover of Like a Virgin). Basquiat first acquired notoriety in the early eighties New York art scene with his ‘Samo’ graffiti slogans, which caught the attention of TV Party host Glenn O’Brien. After Basquiat appeared as a guest on...

Speaking on the shock he experienced about being suddenly cool, and the almost simultaneous horror he felt at possibly losing it, LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy once said, "When I was DJing, playing Can, Liquid Liquid, Esg, all that kind of stuff, I became kind of cool for a moment, which was a total anomaly. And when I heard other DJs playing similar music I was like: 'Fuck! I'm out of a job! These are my records!'" He mused about this on his song "Losing My Edge," a condition he has yet to suffer from, even as his band calls it quits.
Pitchfork reports that LCD Soundsystem's last show will be Saturday, April 2nd, at Madison Square Garden in NY. The band released a statement saying, "it will be our last show ever. we are retiring from the game. gettin' out. movin' on. but for just one more night,...

It's the final week of March, and though we have a fresh few days on our hands, the late night lineup is looking suspiciously like last week's. It's not surprising, as Miley Cyrus hits the shows hard in support of her new film "The Last Song" (which hits theaters this Wednesday, March 31) and Justin Bieber continues his publicity rounds for My World 2.0 (which is expected to top the Billboard album chart this week).
Bieber visits "The Tonight Show" on Thursday (April 1), wrapping up a music-heavy week for Jay Leno that includes Joss Stone on Monday (March 29) and OneRepublic on Wednesday (March 31). Meanwhile, Cyrus will take her act to "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on Tuesday (March 30) on a show that will also feature a performance by Erykah Badu. (Miley will also drop in on "Ellen" on Wednesday.) Kimmel will also welcome Matisyahu on Wednesday and Ok Go on Thursday.
