I have to say their union was the coolest event that had anything to do with a wedding. Congratulations Pete & Irene Sax.

Cast a Pall of Win

Finishing off the video public announcement for the upcoming special live performance – KiNo sings accompanied by piano, featuring the lovely Shahla Atlas.

While cutting this trailer, I ended up writing a new song; ‘Cast a Pall of Win‘ which will be performed live among other new material on 18 July 2010 (9pm) at Zebulon.

On the other hand, the mega-production of KiNo Live is underway at Ears midtown studios, the analogue behemoth needs a little longer time. Riding the gravy train.

Found in New York Trash

Today was my lucky day. After a late dinner with Josefina Ayerza, by some mystical force we decided to pass by Kathy Grayson‘s ‘Hole‘, the new gallery on Greene Street, for a peek. In front of their next door neighbour, the ponciest bagmaker Louis Vuitton, someone had dumped bundled blocks of countless Sotheby’s catalogues. I scuffled with a couple of these chunky bastards and there he was. One of the 3 men who brought me up intellectually and emotionally: André Breton staring at me from the cover of a beautiful thick catalogue dating back to 2002. A couple of hours later, literally on my doorstep, I picked up a Crate practise amplifier with a note reading ‘I work and rock hard’. Cheers New York.

The king Louis Aragon.

Ah, Paul Eluard!

Mon copain René Char.

The Great Scouse

I redeemed this moment from the window of the ignoble Morrison Hotel boutique wankpit/gallery/shop on Prince Street. Insolence is a trademark of  9.
