Vice capades
So I was walking to the subway after seeing Travis Morrison play a set at the Mercury Lounge (all songs from his upcoming album, all good, although I predict Pitchfork is going to come down hard on him for the easy-reader rhyme of "I need you bad ... it's kind of sad"), and I passed the Essex Street Retail Market. Except the light from the nearby lamppost was casting a shadow in such a way that it appeared to read "Sex Street Tail Market".
Posted by Francis at 12:20 AMThat lamppost was placed in that *precise* spot for a *reason*. Otherwise they'd have ordered their dual-use sign in neon, and, y'know, a single streetlight was cheaper.
And more covert.

Did he do any new hiphop covers?

(ire proof)
Posted by: Doug Orleans at June 26, 2006 03:13 PMErin: No new hip-hip covers, alas -- though it's hard for me to complain, because the concert consisted almost entirely of songs I'd never heard before, and I *love* seeing someone I'm a fan of play lots of new material.
Mona: I cannot steal the sign, attached as it is to a brick wall. But I should try to take a picture of it sometime.
