Eight Items or Less: Chelsea Hotel Film Series, PUMPSmag.com & Machines Falling Down
By Gary Pini

1. Anthology Film Archives (32 Second Avenue) launches a special series dedicated to the Chelsea Hotel from April 9 to 12. All the films are about, filmed at, or created by residents of the iconic hotel.
2. We received a press release about the launch of PUMPSmag.com (as in "shoes") that says they're "dedicated to all aspects of the exotic dancing industry." We think they mean "almost all aspects" but will inquire if they'll feature go-go boys as well as girls.

3. Cool video of machines that almost fall down.
4. Two new Jane's Addiction tracks produced by Trent Reznor are available free here.
5. Go here and click on "gallery" to practice your graffiti tag.
6. Portfolio Magazine reports that efforts to place Nirvana's music in TV shows, movies etc. haven't worked and that Primary Music, who paid $50 million for the rights in 2006, has only recouped $2 million.
