Eight Items or Less: Murakami's Sculpture Doesn't Fit into BMA, Queens Is the New Downtown and Day26 Is the New D12
By Gary Pini
1. Woops! The New York Times reports today that an 18-foot-tall sculpture by Japanese artist Murakami wouldn't fit into the Brooklyn Museum of Art and had to been installed in the lobby of 590 Madison Avenue. The art that did fit opens to the public on Saturday.
2. "Downtown has moved to Queens." That's what the owners of a new club in Long Island City are claiming. Robert Prichard and Michael Waldman plan to open a 5,000 square foot venue there this summer. (via the Observer)
3. More Weiland vs. Revolver. He says: "Returning to Stone Temple Pilots will be a stark contrast to playing with a handful of discontents. I think Sebastian Bach would be a fantastic choice for a new Velvet Revolver singer.
4. What CD did people buy this week? The number one LP is by Day26, stars of TV's Making the Band. Statistic freaks will note that the last #1 debut by a male group (2001) had a similar moniker: D12.
5. After PAPER's Beautiful People party tonight, we are going to the Hump (@ Blue Owl, 196 Second Ave.) to hear some jams from the ‘80s and ‘90s spun by DJs Lindsey, Miles and Camp Gabby. We love their flyers designed by Grotesk.
6. If you have money but aren't very creative just call CircleRBrands. The Wall Street Journal reports that this Michigan-based design and branding company has several pre-packaged business concepts available including: Bloomservice "the ultimate package for the floral industry includes registered brand name, logo, 800 phone number and all matching domain names." They aren't selling an existing business, just the name, concept etc. so you'll need your own flowers and arranging skills.

I wanted to read a review of the Blue Owl's HUMP jam, but no luck.
They DJ tunes (mostly late 80's and 90's??), but I didn't see any play list or review of mix technique or whatever. I don't wanna hear Madonna and Huey Luis or whatever.
I have been in the Blue Owl (just a little below 14th, on Second Ave.) and it's a good, 'underground' (heh) lounge drinking bar with jazz and cool modern blues. Sort of an Americanized "World Music" vibe, and good for mellow drinks with brown wood, brass and copper, and low lighting.
This Blue Owl lounge could be a proper, dressed, stand-up house party with drinks. But anyway, I mean, with Blue Owl's cool, dark interior, it would definitely be better than a couple of beers at home and a stereo system by myself. I heard it was Wednesdays?
What's the story?

Dear Day26, I really enjoy your music and I also watch Making The Band 4. I often wonder if any one of you believe in our Heavenly Father and in prayer for the strength and guidance that is needed for continuing together as a blessed family group - being sincere with youselves?? "think about it:)" Truly your dearest fan & always,Davine MorrisPittsburgh, PA
