Live From Home with Erika Wennerstrom of Heartless Bastards and Butterfly Boucher

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 16:02:00

Live From Home presents a concert with with Erika Wennerstrom of Heartless Bastards and Butterfly Boucher.

“I love the Heartless Bastards. Erika’s voice is dynamite. She’s so real.” — Lucinda Williams

“She’s the young Australian singer who covers David Bowie’s ‘‘Changes’‘ on the ‘‘Shrek 2’‘ soundtrack. Here’s hoping the film’s success will help more listeners discover her marvelous debut album (awful title alert), ‘‘Flutterby’‘ (A & M), released earlier this year. Ms. Boucher plays almost all the album’s instruments, and she sings her crafty lyrics and big, crashing melodies with reckless abandon: you picture her running downhill, arms spread, face to the sky. Why isn’t she everywhere, already?” – The New York Times

Love is a Four-Letter Word Launch Reading

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 15:41:01

From Junot Diaz, Lynda Barry, Gary Shteyngart, and Kate Christensen to popular up-and-comers like Dan Kennedy, Wendy McClure,_ Love Is a Four-Letter Word_ is a contemporary collection of true stories of seduction, heartbreak, and regret. Fearlessly revealing their shattered hearts and crushed egos; their indiscretions and indignities; their delusions, desperation, and disappointments, these talented writers capture the dark side of love in prose ranging from comic to poetic, poignant to cringe-inducing.

DAN KENNEDY is the author of the national best seller Rock On: An Office Power Balladand Loser Goes First: My Thirty-Something Years of Dumb Luck and Minor Humiliation,a regular contributor at GQ, and a long-standing writer at McSweeneys.net. He resides in New York City where he frequently performs onstage as part of the Moth storytelling collective. He is currently writing and developing the pilot of Rock On for HBO.

WENDY MCCLURE is a columnist for BUST magazine and was a frequent contributor to the “True-Life Tales” feature in the New York Times Magazine. She is the author of the memoir I’m Not the New Me and the humor book The Amazing Mackerel Pudding Plan,and her work has appeared in several anthologies, including Sleepaway: Writings on Summer Camp. She has an MFA in poetry from the Iowa Writer’s Workshop and lives in Chicago, where she works as a children’s book editor and maintains a Weblog at Poundy.com.

MAUD NEWTON is a writer and blogger who grew up in Miami and now lives in a section of Brooklyn, New York, that has avoided gentrification into a hipster wonderland. Her essay, “Conversations You Have at Twenty,” won second prize in the 2008StoryQuarterly/Narrative Love Story Contest. Her essays and stories have also appeared inSwink, Mr. Beller’s Neighborhood, storySouth, Eyeshot, Maisonneuve, Pindeldyboz, Ducts, and the anthology When I Was a Loser, and she has written for the New York Times Book Review, the American Prospect, the Washington Post, the Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, Newsday, Gawker, VH1’s Best Week Ever blog, and other publications and Web sites, including her own. In 2004 the City College of New York chose her as the recipient of its Irwin and Alice Stark Short Fiction Award.

SAÏD SAYRAFIEZADEH is the author of When Skateboards Will Be Free, a memoir about growing up communist in the United States. His essays and short stories have appeared in the Paris Review, Granta, and Open City, among others.

AMANDA STERN is the author of the novel The Long Haul. Her nonfiction has been featured in the New York Times, the New York Times Magazine, the East Hampton Star,the Believer, and Paste.

The Lowbrow Reader Variety Hour featuring The Fiery Furnaces, Larkin Grimm, John Mulaney and More

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 15:05:03

The Manhattan comedy journal The Lowbrow Reader is thrilled to announce the Lowbrow Reader Variety Hour, a celebration of its new issue. The night will feature short acoustic sets from The Fiery Furnaces, Peter Stampfel and the Ether Frolic Mob, and Larkin Grimm. There will also be comedy by John Mulaney and a reading by Gilbert Rogin. And the cost to you? A mere $10 —or $5 for those unemployed or on worker’s strike— donation at the door.

The Fiery Furnaces: Has this decade seen a stronger New York rock band than the Fiery Furnaces? (No.) The endlessly creative group is represented tonight by Eleanor and Matthew Friedberger playing the day after their fantastic new album, I’m Going Away, comes out on Thrill Jockey.

Peter Stampfel and the Ether Frolic Mob: The awesome new band from Holy Modal Rounder and Fugs veteran Peter Stampfel is eight or nine members strong, depending on the night. “Next to Bob Dylan, [Stampfel] was…the nearest thing to a genius folkiedom had thrown up,” Robert Christgau has written. Indeed!

Larkin Grimm: A remarkable young New York singer whose album Parplar (Young God) was among last year’s best LPs. Live, she will blow your socks straight off—there’s no one else quite like her.

John Mulaney: A fast-rising young writer at Saturday Night Live and a cast member of VH1’s Best Week Ever. Also: the funniest stand-up currently working New York City, hands down.

Gilbert Rogin: In the ‘60s and ‘70s, Rogin published fiction regularly in the New Yorker. He has been hailed by John Updike, Joyce Carol Oates and Larry McMurtry as one of the best writers of his generation. At the same time, Rogin pursued a ridiculously successful journalism career. He was the managing editor of Sports Illustrated and, later, helped Quincy Jones found Vibe. Now 79, Rogin lives downtown. The Lowbrow Reader just published his first story in three decades. We are hoping to see his books back in print soon.

The Lowbrow Reader is a small, lushly illustrated comedy magazine edited by Jay Ruttenberg. Its new issue, #7, includes work by Shelley Berman (Curb Your Enthusiasm), David Berman (Silver Jews; no relation) and Sam Henderson (Magic Whistle). Much of the issue is devoted to the novelist Gilbert Rogin, including an assessment of his work by Jay Jennings and the first piece of fiction by Rogin to be published since 1980. It is available online at lowbrowreader.com, and in smart stores everywhere.

Live From Home Concert with Assembly of Dust and David McMillin

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 13:45:00

Hearing Assembly of Dust has the flush of meeting a stranger who will inform your life in profound & happy ways, someone whose wise council might help you see the world in a fresh light. They possess the same tuneful philosophizing as storytellers like The Band, Paul Simon and Crosby, Stills & Nash, giving the listener good songs playing on a daydream radio. Led by Reid Genauer, they make great homespun music. Parts are gentle and tempered with an earthy wisdom that understands whiskey & tears are often the best cures. Other moments find a more forceful voice supported by topnotch musicianship & blistering emotion. Formed in 2002 after Genauer left cult jam stars Strangefolk, AOD is made up of some of the finest East Coast musicians going.

Though only twenty-three, David McMillin has experienced a lifetime of love and loss, of good times and heartbreak. He’s been quietly touring the country for almost two years (headlining shows and supporting artists like Shelby Lynne, Josh Ritter, Tristan Prettyman, Marc Cohn, Ryan Bingham, Martin Sexton and Shawn Mullins), steadily following the road that the original troubadours took. Some call his music folk or blues, others say it’s alt. country. He’s got his own name for it: “old-fashioned whiskey and cigarettes rock and roll.”

Check out jaunty earworm “Momma’s Boy,” off their self-titled EP—these three won’t be flying under the radar for long.” -The Village Voice

“Miracles of Modern Science play consummate major-key space-pop that sounds like something new.” -Wired

Live From Home with Vienna Teng, Diane Birch, and Coralie Clément

Wed, 27 May 2009 15:49:01

Live From Home presents a concert with Vienna Teng, Diane Birch, and Coralie Clément.

Vienna Teng is a songwriter, singer and pianist with four critically acclaimed albums that have landed her on three Billboard charts and in Amazon.com’s top ten. She’s opened for the likes of India Arie, Joan Baez and Madeleine Peyroux and has appeared on NPR and The Late Show with David Letterman. Her brand of sophisticated, piano-driven pop has been gathering accolades ever since: “seductive and transcendent” (Amazon.com), “gorgeously conceived… accomplished yet understated” (Paste), “singular among her peers” (Variety). Her fourth album, Inland Territory (Rounder), is a tour de force musically and lyrically, a complex and deeply thoughtful work from an artist cut loose from limitations.

Diane Birch has lived all over the world, including Zimbabwe, South Africa and Australia, and cultivated a very individual style that defies categorization. The buzz is building as Music Week announced, “Diane has a voice and songwriting ability that will connect with truly global audiences.” S-Curve Records will release BibleBelt June 2, 2009.

Coralie Clément is in NYC from Paris — a rare event — to perform at Central Park’s SummerStage during Fete de la Musique. She’s French, she roller skates, and her new album Toystore (June 16) was made with all toy instruments.

Press Conference Decrying Mayor’s Budget Cuts

Wed, 06 May 2009 11:44:00

Press conference exposing Mayor Bloomberg’s health-budget hypocrisy: The mayor refuses to say where $1 billion in federal Medicaid stimulus went in his new budget; meanwhile he’s making nearly $10 million in cuts to New York City AIDS services and nearly $20 million to public health services overall.

Cuts will mean elimination of community-based case managers upon whom poor New Yorkers living with AIDS depend for access to a range of lifesaving services including housing and medical care. Cuts will also mean scaled-back HIV prevention efforts and scaled-back food pantry and meals programs.

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 15:40:00

Now with the Dems in control of the Senate, there’s a better-than-even chance that this overdue bill, sponsored by Sen. Tom Duane, could finally become law in New York State.

Housing Works will be attending the Empire State Pride Agenda Equality and Justice Day on April 28, where GENDA will be one of the key bills legislators will be lobbied about.

Live From Home with Jolie Holland

Tue, 17 Mar 2009 12:17:00

Tickets will be available at the door at 7pm.

Housing Works Bookstore presents a benefit concert with Jolie Holland and opening act Ana Egge.

Jolie Holland co-founded the folk outfit, the Be Good Tanyas in the late 90’s. Holland went solo in 2001 and recorded a collection of demos that later became released as Catalpa. The demos garnered praise worldwide from fans, press and fellow musicians, including Tom Waits who nominated Holland’s Catalpa _for the esteemed Shortlist music prize. Her debut LP, _Escondida, came out in 2004 and immediately established Holland as one of the nation’s most important young songwriters. Her newest album, The Living and the Dead was released in October 2008

“There’s an old and durable American myth being served in Ms. Holland’s persona: the folk singer who’s from everywhere and nowhere…when she sings she becomes a hungry museum of stray voices…” –Ben Ratliff, New York Times

Lucinda Williams once called her “a folk Nina Simone.” But Ana Egge is more country than that. Rolling Stone reviewed her newest album, Road to my Love “the singer–songwriter crafts homespun hymns on her sixth disc to sing with your bare feet on the dashboard. Egge’s rootsy pedal–steel pop recalls singers like Shawn Colvin, but her sharply observed tales of the overlooked and underpaid feel utterly of the moment.”
