For Real! Despite an “unbearable” first season featuring a real-life Countess! and a high-powered career woman!, Bravo appears ready for a second season of The Real Housewives of New York City. And its producers are “looking for women who typify the Manhattan socialite.” Don’t get too excited yet, even if you, too, manage the seemingly impossible by being a “permanent fixture in the Hamptons as well as Manhattan.” According to the casting 2008-05-08 04:46:53 PDT http://technorati.com/search/www.nypress.com/blogx/display_blog.cfm?bid=83284700 645 1477 New York's Premier Alternative Newspaper.

With Danny Ross' Piano-Pop Soundtrack Maybe it's because my sister and I would dress up our little brother in the life-size toy's outfit, but there's something creepily familiar about Danny Ross' video for his song "I Can't Wait." It begins with a shot of the 1980s toys that had those obnoxiously catchy commercial jingles, and then cuts to a grown man dressed in striped shirt, overalls as he searches New York for Kid Sister (and even 2008-05-08 04:19:47 PDT http://technorati.com/search/www.nypress.com/blogx/display_blog.cfm?bid=11993021 645 1477 New York's Premier Alternative Newspaper.

But there were too many people there for me to get a grasp what was actually going on. With Yoko, it’s always a matter of digging deeper. On the surface, sometimes there doesn’t seem to be that much there. This is intentional. This concept has been the foundation of her entire, 40-some-year career. Still, this can be frustrating at t 2008-05-08 02:30:58 PDT http://technorati.com/search/www.nypress.com/blogx/display_blog.cfm?bid=15535849 645 1477 New York's Premier Alternative Newspaper.

Fosella was arrested on May 1 in Alexandria last Thursday.He told officers he was visiting a friend in the D.C. suburb. Today he admitted that his friend is his lover, and the mother of his three year old daughter.

Today, we seem as beyond any tipping point or point of change as Questerbert’s films had suggested since her earliest featured films in the 1970s. Even though her films are very much of their moment, Questerbert goes several steps beyond contemporary questions of feminism, responding to the preposterous declaration, “Something’s happenin 2008-05-07 20:15:33 PDT http://technorati.com/search/www.nypress.com/blogx/display_blog.cfm?bid=5732676 645 1477 New York's Premier Alternative Newspaper.

More Keith Haring. If you've been down in the Lower East Side recently, you noticed the Day-Glo orange Keith Haring mural at the corner of Bowery & Houston St. I happened upon it a few weeks ago, figured it was a recreation of some sort and wondered how long before some roughneck graffiti artists would come and throw up a production of their own over the meticulous work. So far it hasn't happened. The Keith Haring Foundation collaborated with artists from the D 2008-05-07 18:29:41 PDT http://technorati.com/search/www.nypress.com/blogx/display_blog.cfm?bid=11599804 645 1477 New York's Premier Alternative Newspaper.

They're Just On HBO Flight of the Conchords are not that funny, neither as a band, nor as a TV show. Not like “it’s not to my taste” not funny, or “I don’t get it” not funny either. They arouse in me nothing more than a pancaked whoopee-cushion of ambivalence, the essential oil of deflation. What bothers me is not them –who appear to be amiable, quirky, and nicely accented- but the effusive response they have received.

But Vocalist Pete Quirk Reminds Me More of Stevie Nicks The Cave Singers packed the house last night at the Mercury Lounge, but they didn’t necessarily rock the house. Which is fine, because they’re not really a rock band. As Matador, their label, makes it clear in the band’s press release, The Cave Singers are a "folk trio." When I first read that, it made me realize how nebulous and misleading the genre-labeling that people like me promulgate can be.

That certainly applies to Marc Camoletti’s Boeing Boeing, which ran on Broadway for 19 days in 1965 and fell off the radar faster than you can say Bermuda Triangle.
