friday night; links
One: Molly Templeton on this week’s Frightened Rabbit/Oxford Collapse show in Portland. In a similar vein, Pitchfork on the Collapse’s terrific “The Birthday Wars”.
Two: David Edelstein on Wall-E. Interesting choice of the word “conservative” in there — I think I know what he’s referring to, but I don’t know if that would be the word [...] -

thinking, coffee, and other things of which I’m fond
A few weeks ago, I visited Think Coffee on Bowery for the first time. I stopped in again after work on Friday, and I’d have to say that my reaction so far has been pretty positive. While Brooklyn has no shortage of excellent places to get coffee, Manhattan at times seems to have a copious [...]

One: In the coming months, I will be attending many weddings. Therefore, I’m grateful for Achewood for providing a guide to etiquette there. (Potentially not safe for work.)
Two: Mike McGonigal on Spiritualized’s latest.
Three: Jessica Suarez on Sex and the City. (And, to spark some debate: Timothy Noah on the same, as it pertains to the [...] -
NYC
the id of brooklyn?
New York’s cover story this week, essentially, focuses on the comments threads on Brownstoner to plumb the subconscious of many a recent (or not-so-recent) transplant to Brooklyn. And — I honestly wouldn’t have expected to have this reaction to an article that draws heavily from comment posts — it’s ridiculously spot-on. Read it here.

Sunday links? Sunday links.
One: Rob Walker on reviving defunct brands, and the selective, not entirely reliable of the American consumer.
Two: Matt Fraction on the recent activities of your favorite filmmakers.
Three: Skyfarms, via Reihan Salam. My mind is blown. -

NYC
ah, real estate
Walked past this building, under construction a few blocks from where I live, the other day.
In this case, I’d say some aesthetic snarkiness is very much justified. -

In the “fine things happening to good people” department: congrats, you guys. Warms my heart, it does.

a brief note on sound fix
Today, Brownstoner and Gothamist carried pieces on Sound Fix’s current difficulties with assorted city agencies. I’m not exactly a neutral party in the matter — Sound Fix has hosted an ERMP benefit and a THE2NDHAND reading, both of which I was involved with — but nonetheless, I can’t help but think that our elected officials [...]

highly recommended in nyc
Went to the City Reliquary today.
The City Reliquary is amazing.
Admittedly, it’s nearly impossible to say why. But it’s charming as hell, and has just enough completely nerd-friendly bits of history to be more fascinating than I’d expected. And the photo exhibit currently on display brought a smile to my face.
