Prince played Bryant Park, PLAYING BUTTER TONIGHT
The excitement and energy was evident as fans danced, sang and enjoyed themselves for Prince's free concert in Bryant Park on "Good Morning America". Prince's guitar rang through the crowd as he performed a song from his new album "3121" and an old favorite "Let's Go Crazy". The usually reclusive musician who is known for shunning the media and staying away from mainstream events has been making lots of public appearances lately. He was joined on the stage by prominent drummer Sheila E. and singer Tamar who performed one of her songs from her new album "Milk and Honey". [ABC NEWS]

Maceo Parker & Prince & Tamar @ Prospect Park Bandshell (Celebrate Brooklyn), NYC | pics
I really was going to stay in Thursday night (June 15, 2006) - it was a long week already. But the prospect of laying out on a blanket under the stars (well you can't see them, but I know they're there) while listening to Maceo Parker and band was too irresistable, so I headed to Prospect Park for the opening night of the Celebrate Brooklyn! free concert series, and set up back behind the gate where there was plenty of room. I couldn't see the show, but it sounded just fine. Of course I couldn't resist getting some photos, so a few songs before the end I worked my way in the gate and through the huge crowd.
It was hard - the place was packed. When the show ended I worked my way back out. Then the encore started right about the time I got back to my blanket, and suddenly there was A LOUD ROAR. Everyone was going nuts. Somebody special was obviously on stage. I ran back to the fence and saw a lady in orange.
I wasn't sure who it was until I finally figured out there was a man in white to her left. Even from however-many-feet back I was, I knew immediately it was none other than Prince. That's when I realized the lady was Tamar - the singer he's been pimpin' for the past year (remember the Nokia Theatre show?). My pics of Prince are so-so, so thanks Noel Mendez for sending me this much clearer one....
The encore was just one song - not really that exciting, except well, IT WAS PRINCE....
If anyone really thought about, they probably figured out Prince would be there. Prince and Maceo play together all the time. Three days before this show Prince was in Manhattan to play the Webbys, and Prince is/was scheduled to play in Bryant Park for Good Morning America on Friday Morning.

Ryan Adams played Rockwood Music Hall & BB Kings w/ America, James Iha & Adam Schlesinger
AMERICA & FRIENDS RYAN ADAMS & JAMES IHA (cred)
America took time away from recording their next album (a double album due out October 17th on Sony's Burgandy Records) to play BB King's to a lively, attentive audience. Helping them produce the album are James Iha and Adam Schlesinger. Both joined the band (along with Ryan Adams) on the well-received encore of "Horse With No Name". [Fresh Bread]
That show took place June 1st. On June 12th Ryan supposedly played a surprise midnight set at Rockwood Music Hall after watching Tom Ceraulo who played at 11:00. Rockwood Music Hall is the same place I saw Norah Jones play on May 24th which was the same night Ryan Adams made a surprise appearance at Mercury Lounge.

CELLULOID VAUDEVILLE
"A program consisting of short films selected from submissions by the Dolls feverishly creative fan base will be peppered with thought provoking vaudeville antics in cities across America. Amanda Palmer herself will cap off the night in typical piano-destroying fashion, singing songs culled from popular and not-so-popular film soundtracks (expect John Hughes, Pink Floyd AND Disney Classics. Deep Throat? Oklahoma? She’s still working on it).
Curated by long-time collaborator and indie film-iconoclast Michael Pope (director of the band’s award-winning videos and live DVD), and BriAnna Olson (producer of the band’s music video ‘Sing’) these film shorts are a mixture of high art, humor, sexiness and downright weirdness. Including never-before-seen band documentary footage and amazing fan-made music videos inspired by and set to the music of The Dresden Dolls, this program is a celebration of true underground filmmaking."

RIP BEN CHAPPEL
I just thought I'd take this opportunity to throw this small memorial to Ben in here. I didn't really know him - I met him once briefly. He was a blogger friend of blogger friends. He wrote the "Music Picks" column at Gothamist after Coolfer and before me. He was very close with Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls. She memorialized him in her journal.

I didn't see Sonic Youth @ CBGB | NPR will stream DC
SONIC YOUTH @ CBGB | JUNE 13, 2006 (CRED)
I was at Radiohead. Robert Christgau was probably at Sonic Youth. 'Modest micah' definitely was....
I stood at the stage next to nick zinner, his girlfriend and thurston moore's mother. the band was in a fantastic mood and played their entire new LP, "Rather Ripped" perfectly from start to finish. this show really enforced how strong the new record is.
jem cohen was there filming a documentary and he asked me if he could film me for it. i said sure, so he sat me down in one of the backrooms and had an assistant shine a sungun at me while i looked into the lens of his super 8mm camera.
this was the first time sonic youth had played CB's since 1992. i had a good night.
ps - mark ibold from pavement is the new bassist/guitarist.
----
The June 15th Washington DC show will be streamed live on NPR (and then archived and available forever)

HIP HOP KARAOKE NOW AT SOUTHPAW
but yea, let me get this out of the way now... THE NEXT HHK will be at Southpaw on June 24. geah. southpaw is one of my favorite music venues in all of new york city, and i'm very proud that we'll be bringing HHK there for the official after-party for the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival.
in other news, and as some of you might have heard, our venue, Rothko, is now closed for good. we were very sad to hear this, but remain very greatful to the venue, it's staff, and it's owner, Rory Maher, for the time they allowed us to host HHK there. we loved it.

Growing | free show at PS1 Thursday, new album
Pitchfork gave Growing's new album a 6.8 yesterday. It's possible you saw Growing when they opened for Mogwai in March. This Thursday they're playing a free show at PS1 in Long Island City.....
Thursday, June 15th, 6:30pm - 9pm
Into the Prism: Rose Kallal 16mm film installation with live music performance by Growing.
Visual and sound artist Rose Kallal and the band Growing present a performance of 16mm projection and music. Set inside a majestic attic space adjacent to P.S.1's roof terrace, the synesthesia-inspired performance will feature an installation of Kallal's 16mm film loops which combine a complex use of color, light, and geometric forms, accompanied by the duo Growing (Joe Denardo and Kevin Doria), whose dense, loud, and abstracted sounds draw upon musical styles such as drone, minimalism, and ambient.
Free admission.
P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center
22-25 Jackson Ave at the intersection of 46th Ave in Long Island City, 11101
