p.i.lI'm an Alex Abramovich fan, but I have a feeling he takes himself way too seriously.
- Dane A decade or so ago, my friends and I came up with "Crack Island" - a game show on which homeless people stuck on an island compete viciously, for a lifetime supply of crack. Despite the rumor going round - somone we knew had gotten a movie deal and sunny exposure for coming up with the phrase "dot compton" - no one pitched it. We ended up watching TV history instead of making it.
Now Moistworks is making local-interest history, by holding a live reading in the very center of New York's hip East Village district. James, Joanna, and I will be there. Susan Choi, Sam Lipsyte, and Jenny Offill will read. Nothing will be on the internet, but visitors from out of town will find this an especially hip place to be on Wednesday the 25th, at 7 or so in the evening. (Ladies, take note: the 24th is Non-Fiction Firefighter Night.)
Stop by, sign our autograph book, and, in case you haven't seen it : Labels: alex, writer's week, youtube

I was hoping to score points by posting a clip of James Brown on the T.A.M.I. Show, or Christopher Walken in Pennies From Heaven. But no - this as close as youtube got. So, in lieu of the hardest working men in show business:
Django, & more Django.
A now-famous clip of Sister Rosetta Tharpe
Ella, Billie, Sarah, & Nina.
Ladies and gentlemen, Keith Richards.
Like you, James Brown is single, and he wants to mingle.
Alex Chilton & the Box Tops, performing The Letter.
Otis
Otis
& more Otis, this time in color.
The many moods of Eddie Cochran, & Jimi Hendrix's appearance on the Dick Cavett show (w/subtitles).
The Who open up whole new cans of whoop-ass... & - HOLY SHIT! - the Feelies!
Knock-kneed Hank Williams & Jimmie Rodgers.
Skip James, Gary Davis, & Brian Jones introducing Howlin' Wolf.
VU in NY; The Stooges, in Cincinatti.
Bill Grundy interviews the Sex Pistols & Johnny Cash on Sesame Street.
Duke Ellington & Whitey's Lindyhopppers, & Louis Jordan & the Nicholas Brothers.
Here's Jordan square dancing, a guy who rhymes in Aramaic, and Hey Ya!, as interpreted by "accordion master Jason Webley."
John Coltrane, Art Tatum, Thelonious Monk.
Jammin' The Blues, with Lester Young & Co.
&
don't you wish you could dance like this? Or this? Or this? Or this?Labels: alex, youtube
