O am meeting Richard Branson on April 25th… well, maybe meeting is too strong a week. I am going to the Sy fy upfront and Branson will be giving away a free trip round the world on Virgin Airlines. Exactly which of us wretched media hounds has the time is another question entirely.
I mention that because Virgin records of the 1970s were the Rough Trade Record Stores of the 1990s.
Rough Trade is the hipper than fuck record label from Indie London. They began in the late 70s with Stiff Little Fingers and have released loads of people since but I am too tired (it is late and I have already lost the Monica review) including the Strokes.
They are opening a store/club in Williamsburgh because Williamsburgh doesn't have enough and they can rub shoulder s with Pitchfork and the Dirty Projectors and everybody can be very fucking happy together.
Williamsburgh -Geez, low lame can you get.
PS: I am really pissed, the Monica review was nothing great but it was better than this crap. Who the fuck cares? I mean, really. Just what the crappy hood needs, another club.
As forMonica, I will rewrite it tomorrow but for now, it is better than the new Rough Trade Store so suck on that.
