im going from the 23rd of december to the 1st of January. for those of you who know the place, what can i do there, are there any cool performances in that timeframe, any cool places? i just dont wanna end up going there and staying in my hotel room for a week, because thats what usually happens. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you're there on january 1st there'll definately be plenty to do. it's a pretty large town you know. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dont go to the twin towers, they are not there anymore |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
where would i look to find out what live sets are playing between dec 23rd and Jan 1st. (if any) |
||||||||
|

i love new york nacmat-----i hope that wasnt supposed to be funny |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
HAHAHAH!!1 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, that was pretty funny |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but really, "where would i look to find out what live sets are playing between dec 23rd and Jan 1st. (if any) " |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I didnt try to be funny.... I was funny dont worry, I feel respect for the victims... but humor is like this in spain |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought it was funny. I saw a cool doc on this spanish kid from a good family who travelled to new york. He lives on the street and cuts the new york sky line into packs of matches and sells them. Really awesome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

|
it's a little too early to find out what most live sets will be at the end of the year. most venues only have a few dates in december booked right now. the places i usually go to and recommend are: the knitting factory, the tonic, irving plaza, abc no rio, mercury lounge, warsaw (brooklyn). those places mostly have rock or jazz/avant-garde music, but they sometimes have electronic music as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there is no subject that cannot be joked about. it's a human defense mechanism to laugh about the most awful things. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, definitely check out what's coming to Tonic... some amazing stuff has come through their this year... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the tonics acually got some nice stuff lined up :) same with the mercury lounge, ill have to check both of them out. |
||||||||
|

Don't go into any 'black' neighbourhoods. If you see people on the street pretend you are dead that way you won't get your nacmat loving ass beaten. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im going to manhatten only, is it unsafe in that area? i doubt it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm, yes I can't think of anything bad that has ever happened in manhatten. everywhere in new york is dangerous, if you throw a candy bar wrapper on the floor the police shoot you in the face at point blank range...with their gun. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha... manhatten is very dangerous - you will be shot on sight as the ecnadniarb says, but manhattan is fine. |

Don't go to the empire state building! it is NOT worth it!! the people who work there have their heads way up their asses! it is a 2+ hour wait in a poorly ventilated hallway in the basement for a less than spectacular view! Go to Central Park of course! check out the turtle pond! there are lots of cute turtles! Don't go to Coney Island! It is a total dive! I was there on Memorial Day weekend and the place was dead! Only go if you wanna buy crack or chili dogs! Beware, New York Subways are hella confusing! and the people who work there are mostly rude and unhelpful! There are some cool clubs in the meat packing district! They don't look like clubs on the outside though! I went to a club where they were spinning some jazzy funk house music! on the outside, the sign above the door just said something like 'Wilson's Meat Packing CO.' ! you might have to check the local 'zine's to find out locations of these clubs but this particular place was dope! and i don't even like house music! There are lots of cool shops in SOHO! but they are mad expensive! fucking $150 for a fucking t-shirt! but go in the stores anyway! many of them are very cool inside! like cool decor and music! that's all i can think of now! |

my sister lives in Manhatten! it is a very fun part of town! Remember to visit Times Square of course! but go there at night! it is crazy lit up like it was the middle of the day or some shit! there is a huge Cup-O-Noodles sign in Times Square that has steam coming out of the top! it will blow your mind!! |

you are not a true American if you are not afraid of black people and the places they live. |

lol namcat ... hope you don't ride the trains anytime soon |
||||||||
|

for the record, i was just making fun of a spelling mistake. i don't want anyone to be confused and think it was anything more than that. |

i went up the empire state building when i was in NY on a school trip a few years ago..... it was well worth it line up was not too bad at all.... maybe 15-20 minutes but i think it was so cool cus it was at night it felt like batman up there! first of all the view would obviously simply kick far more ass at night.... but also there was some mist being illuminated by the big spotlights that light up the empire state building, at it felt very batman it was also a lot of fun to step up and lean against the angled 'dontkillyourself' chain-link fence so you could look over the edge and a have a view not obstructed by tourists they dont like that kind of behavior in new york though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I went up at night too! maybe the line was so long because it was memorial day weekend! anyway, i had been up the Eifel Tower in Paris 2 weeks earlier and i guess that kinda lessens the impact of the view from the Empire State Building! So if'n you are gonna check the Empire State Building, I guess the trick is to go when there are no crowds! for me it was a truely awful experience! |

I been to the top of the trade towers. Long time ago. I almost thought I saw the curvature of the earth up there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I was in new york three times. 1987 1989 1990 two times I was at the top of the twin towers and empire state building I will never forget that |

are there any good stores that sell idm cds? i remember hearing something about kims record store or something, i would just like to clarify. im leaving the 23rd |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what a terrible time visit the US period! I hope you had fun though, after you ignore all the crack/cocaine, murders, and pee stained bums. |
||||||||
|

The Virgin Megastore in manhatten actually sells IDM cds and stuff. Nothing incredibly rare though, Astrobotnia, Afx, AE, etc, then I saw they had DJ Shadow on vinyl and some other random hip hop stuff... To save yourself some time, when you go in, just take the escalator to the next floor down, it should be right in front of you then. I bought a imported Radiohead CD for quite a bit of cash. It was cool though, kinda rare,imo and lots of japanese writing all over it. |

im looking to find some venetian snares, autechre eps, aphex eps, and boc - hiscores |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah definately give it a look then. I saw some planet mu stuff there too. However if its not, then you'll have to ask around for a more 'independent' music store. Feel free to pick up a yellow pages somewhere and browse through it and call some places up, they'd be happy to tell you if they have any of that in stock. |
||||||||

which brings me back to 'kims record store' some place im sure someone told me about on here a while ago. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well since you know the name, it should be incredibly easy to find. Unless its not even in manhattan. That could be a pain. |
||||||||
|
|

|
kim's video. there are a couple of them. the one i go to is on st marks, which is a fun place to visit anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its crazy here on new years day. only visit on new years if you have A. a death wish B. spare time to climb over drunk idiots to get where you want to C. a tolerance for loud noises nah its fun. last year i was off my rocker on absynthe, wandering the streets laughing and falling and pointing at girls. i blended right in. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, visit my buddies electronic record store if you want any kind of good selection. Etherea on avenue A and 4th st. i live right nearby. tell them Plantre sent you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do they sell any of the cds i mentioned? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ill write that down :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there's no way of saying for certain, but they always have obscure stuff coming in. i've definitely seen vsnares and aphex stuff there. i was trying to remember the store plantre mentioned - that place is neat. i've been there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You should definately check out the storefront. They have wicked records and they bundle lots of free indie label samplers and stickers with your purchases. |
||||||||

new york scares me. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

i would very much like living in new york for couple of months. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've driven through NY about 5 times in my life, and stayed there for four days in a place right off Times Square. NY is neck and neck with Tokyo, for my favorite city. |
