PROHIBITION NIGHT
Supposedly occurred Tuesday, 22nd September (yesterday)
@ Flute, 205 West 54th St. between 7th and Broadway.
Located on the site of a Prohibition-era speakeasy,
Flute harks back to its past every Tuesday.
Black tie or '20s-style attire is preferred
(the staff goes all the way),
liquor is served in makeshift mugs
(though the boite's champagnes are served in flutes),
and only those who know the password are admitted.
DJ Duane Harriot wisely doesn't allow the theme to
take total control, though, spinning underground disco
classics, '60s soul, loungecore and trip-hop, alongside
Charleston and lindy-hop material.
265-5169
Subway: B, D, E to 7th Ave; N, R to 57th St.
10 pm, Free !
Tonight will be either one of three, for me:
(1) LIQUID SOUND LOUNGE PRESENTS
MIXOLOGY + WORDOLOGY
Jeannie Hopper's new club night - she's helpfully given
it a compact and easily memorized name -
features mixologists (or "DJs" to the man on the street)
mixing it up with wordologists (like, poets and spoken-word
artists). Jeannie spins everything from dub, ambient and
acid jazz to house and jungle, while the wordologists, er,
wordologize over the music.
<<< Argh, who writes this copy? >>>
Tonight, Moody is the DJ, while Martha Cinader guests
on the mic. Martha's celebrating the release of her
Po'azz Yo'azz project's LP Living It!
Knitting Factory, 74 Leonard St.
between Broadway and Church St.
219-3055
Subway: A, C, E, N, R, 6 to Canal St.
11 pm, $6
(2) MONDO 107
One hundred seven stories above the Naked City,
Lucien the LoungeCore DJ spins dance-informed,
cocktail-infused music, with an emphasis on
newer material (e.g., anything from Easy Tune
and Pizzicato Five to Dimitri from Paris).
The crowd consists of tourists, business(wo)men
and bona fide club folk. Tonight, the terrific
Easy Tune folks are in from Amsterdam to play some records.
They make some of the easiest tunes around,
and they'll surely be spinning some of their own stuff.
And, of course, Erica Maeyama - the greatest doorman
on Earth (or at least in the Wall Street area) - works the
velvet ropes. Attention, aspiring King Kongs (Dino De
Laurentis version): The last elevator up is at 1:15 am.
The Greatest Bar on Earth, 1 World Trade Center, 107th Floor,
Liberty St. between West and Church St.
524-7000
Subway: C, E to World Trade Center; N, R, 1, 9 to Cortlandt St.
7 pm, Free !
(3) UNITY GAIN
Dedicated to "brand-new, nonstop, silicone-enhanced"
electronic music - Unity Gain resumes, with live performances
by various purveyors of techno, drum 'n' bass, ambient, etc.
At 1 am, it's time for the evening's "hybrid band" - where
they stick the head of a rock guitarist on the body of a DJ,
or something like that. In room two, there's more drum 'n' bass,
as spun by the Shaolin Fist Crew (delMar, Cassien & friends).
Optical enhancements are the province of artists like
Salon Cabal, Kate Yourke and Ran.
For info, call 226-8231.

Has anyone seen Bill Clinton's videotaped testimony?
It was real funny, walking to work yesterday
in midtown Manhattan on East 45th St. near Lex.,
I saw a sweaty jogger with a tee shirt that read:
"I STILL LIKE BILL CLINTON."
Heh heh.
!Namaste!
Yve.

I became politicized by the contemplative life.
Meditation is what brought me to political radicalization.
I came to the revolution by way of the Gospels.
It was not by reading Marx but Christ.
