In fact, that chip shop will deliver to O'Connors.
There's also a new bar that opened next to my house last night. In an old soda shop. It's called Soda. Colorless, Smith Streety sort of place, with terrible music.

TOKION MAGAZINE AND SOUNDLAB PRESENT SOUND CLASH: FREE CONCERT AT THE EAST RIVER PARK AMPITHEATRE ON SEPTEMBER 21ST 2pm-6pm
Press contact: Adam Glickman/Ken Miller 212-358-9965 / letters@kneehigh.com
Tokion Magazine celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the Jamaican soundsystem with the "Sound Clash" project. The project explores how the early Jamaican sound systems created a musical renaissance from which all elements of Hip Hop and DJ culture can directly trace their roots.
Sound Clash launches with a free concert on September 21st at the East River Park Amphitheater (immortalized as the location for the finale in the hip-hop classic Wild Style*). The event Master of Ceremonies will be Talib Kweli from New York hip-hop outfit Black Star. There will be performances by legends U-Roy, commonly regarded as the father of dancehall music and the first person ever to rap (or toast) over a record, and Kool Herc, the father of hip-hop and the first person ever to use two turntables to produce an extended break-beat. One of the highlights of the show will be a sound clash (or DJ battle) between two legendary sound systems: Sir Coxsone¹s Downbeatand King Jammy¹s Super Sound. As founder of Studio One (the label that gave the world Bob Marley, the Skatelites, and Jackie Mittoo), and Jamaica¹s most successful soundsystem from the Œ50s, Coxsone Dodd is credited with creating Ska music. The younger King Jammy, on the other hand, was a disciple of King Tubby, founder of Dub music and engineer for Dodd¹s classic rival Duke Reid. In the '80s King Jammy would go on to form one of Jamaica's most successful studios, and in direct contrast to Studio One, would bring computer technology to reggae, giving rise to the Dancehall style.
The "Sound Clash" project continues as a special feature in the November issue of Tokion, a 30-minute documentary to be released in December, and a limited edition red, yellow, and green Tokion/Nike shoe that will surely be snatched up by true fans and supporters of this movement (gag!). Enthusiasm for the project is quickly spreading through New York as well as Kingston where plans are already under way for a much larger concert to take place this winter.
Location: East River Park Amphitheater South of Grand Street and East of the FDR.

While I went into Southpaw with Paul and his lovely (non-poster) wife, geeta and Matos absconded "to play video games" but returned much fortified with the eating of Mexican food, wtf??
ESG's super bass heavy sound was off the hook! If I closed my eyes I could pretend I was at a house party in the Bronx circa '80s, but when I opened them I realized I was in a sea of musically correct FMU listeners...
While ESG wasn't playing, the real party was outside Southpaw on the street; the more social of the ILM posters seemed to know everyone out there...
After leading Matos to the out of service F train, we shared a surprisingly expensive though scenic cab ride home together, in which topics discussed included Greil Marcus's wonderful essays for Interview magazine...
The spirit of ILM lives beyond the internet... It was great to be meet one and all--and to see geeta again--I look forward to future "FAP"s...

ESG are amazing & joyous! if you get a chance, go see 'em
Andy & Michaelangelo left the SoundClash ('Sound Class') early, so they must have missed King Jammy's system rockin' it! among many, standout track for me was Shabba - "Love Punanny Bad". U-Roy great too! outdoor concert in the sun & shade along breezy East River with this selection of music = pure niceness
