CBGB
OMFUG – “That’s more of what we do, It means OTHER MUSIC FOR UPLIFTING GORMANDIZERS.” And what is a gormandizer? It’s a voracious eater of, in this case, MUSIC.”
315 Bowery, New York, NY – opens at 11 AM
What it is now: A high-end clothing store
CBGB owner Hilly Kristal and his landlord began fighting over the rent in a years-long battle that eventually went to court. Kristal agreed to vacate the property by Halloween of 2006, but hosted a blowout led by CBGB favorite Patti Smith on October 15th as a last hurrah. Fashion designer John Varvatos later turned the building into a boutique that sells shearling jackets for $3,000, which pissed off many former slam dancers — although Varvatos insists he saved the space from a far worse fate: getting turned into a bank. (thanks to Thrilist)
Note from MC: How fantastic that a wealthy punk rock fan saved some of the CBGB history. John Varvatos tries to walk the punk walk. He and Iggy Pop produced “PUNK”, which is at least something. 360 degree view. The Hallowed Ground of CBGB, Excellent story telling in this Bowery Boogie article.
The Museum of Arts and Design in Manhattan has on display until July 11 more than 400 of punk rock’s most memorable graphics, including flyers, posters and album covers. Sorry we missed it!

Ric Flair shop – this is great.
Talking Heads “ Burning Down the House”
A three day Handmaiden’s Tale Marathon leaves the impression these monsters are hard to beat. Fuck all the motherfucking sexist dominator men! Burning Down the House was perfect. Burn motherfucker burn. I just wish they had played that scene with the right music. 
Go see David Byrne on Broadway! Brilliant!
