this debussy is so beautiful, so summer-like...for some strange reason now it feels so much more intense, or this piece specifically, then some other pieces, or what i used to think of him (as light and happy). this G minor quartet is light but also melancholy so it's more. such a nice way to begin the program! |

Wild Neil||Peace All:
When I was living in NYC going to Cooper Union I took out a girl on a first date to see Diamonds Galas at The Cathedral of St. John the Divine. It was 1991. Wow. She insisted on walking out. It was a bit much for me too. i think D. Galas is a witch. I group her with Psychic TV and Fields of The Nephilim as music I will not listen to any more due to their world view. |

Wild Neil||Peace All:
@Jake Gould-I was famous for bad decisions in the 90's. Today, the decision seems pretty epic failure. She DID say that opera was an apocalyptic act and I HAVE heard some D Galas from my roommate Egg who seemed to like it, so I said "hey, wanna see this OTHER apocalyptic singer? By NO means was I a fan, I just HEARD of her. Pretty dumb of me, I know. |

Did ya know? Ms Galas often stop-by at Kim's video. Once I told her my admiration especially to her distinctive piano style. She graciously thanked about it. Really her singing style gets attention but listen her piano. It is one and only a kind.... | |

Well, the NEA controversy also bolstered efforts like Giuliani’ war on night life that basically killed off clubs like the Limelight. Now ever club is someone floating party in a dumpster you only know about by texting someone an hour before it al goes down. It’s all literally an SNL Stefon sketch come to life. |

@mzzmz: My biggest memory of that Kim’s video was a friend suggesting we go up there to rent a copy of “Penn and Teller Get Killed” and then remembering we were only teenagers and singing up for video rentals was really like filing a Visa application in some places and then deciding to not to that and just rummage through record and CDs again. |

Good Afternoon, Kurt and everyone! loving the raga . . . @ Michael 98145 -- i used to be able to volunteer at the Chhandayan All-Night concerts -- so wonderfully BLISSFUL! i would have been so totally impressed if someone had taken me to *that* Diamanda Galas event at St. John's -- but hey, that is just *me* i met Ms. Galas some years later, when i was working at Tower Books -- i thought she looked familiar, but then finally realized it WAS her when she came up to the register and i saw her hand tattoos . . . and she was so super sweet! shook my hand (as i am thinking -- "wait a minute, YOU are the famous person, i should be shaking YOUR hand!" hah!), was saying how much she liked the store (had had to leave with a friend earlier but then came back), was impressed with the selection, etc. . . . :) |
![]() |
![]() Tuning in late, but GOD I miss Kim's-- it used to be an essential part of any NY visit for me. One of my most cherished finds was a DVD-R containing two of the old FMU "Irritainment" specials, along with Harvey Sid Fisher's "Songs of the Zodiac" and a bunch of other gold. Just about anyone who's been in my apartment more than once in the past dozen years or so has been subjected to some or all of that disc. |

Fri. 7/20/18 2:00pm
JakeGould:
To be honest, I have mixed feels about Kim’s since I knew a few people who were screwed over by Kim’s in different ways over the years. I’m generally happier that the Internet exists and lots of obscure stuff is a available for streaming and download much quicker—and sometimes better quality—than scoring some 7th generation VHS dub from Kim’s. |
