SATURDAY: Bootlegger's Ball At The Hippodrome!
The Hippodrome, a historic Richmond theater that first opened nearly 100 years ago, brought some of the mid-20th century's biggest starts to Richmond in the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s, featuring appearances by Bill 'Bojangles' Robinson, Ethel Waters, Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles, Moms Mabley, James Brown, Billie Holiday, Nat King Cole, and many more! Now, for the first time in many years, it has reopened, with the goal of bringing live entertainment, special events, full service dining, and a high end VIP night club to its storied location on 2nd St in Jackson Ward.
DAILY FIX: Liturgy, "True Will"
Brooklyn-based black metal band Liturgy have had a divisive presence in the music scene over the past year or so, with many going nuts over their second album, Aesthethica, and just as many people reviling their lack of evil metal "cred" and their unwillingness to "keep it real." I personally am very much pro-Liturgy, even going so far as to make Aesthethica my album of the year for 2011. And therefore it is with great joy that I bring you the newest video from the band, for Aesthethica's raging track "True Will."
DAILY RECORD: Poison Idea
Poison Idea – Darby Crash Rides Again (Southern Lord Records)
The relatively recent trend of plundering hardcore's darkest recesses for the previously unheard and unknown can come dangerously close to the sort of necrophiliac nostalgia to which the music was supposed to stand antithetical from the start. It's an approach that assumes the greater listening public really needs to hear, say, John Porcelly's high school band; that bringing such things to light is a worthwhile endeavor; and that these documents have some sort of de facto authenticity, simply because of their age or proximity to something relevant or popular.
I Didn't Know What I Was Doing Had A Name: An Interview With Decayed Richmond
Begun about a year ago, Decayed Richmond is a website dedicated to visual explorations of the abandoned history and architecture that can be found in the neglected corners of Richmond’s urban landscape. Having spent a significant amount of time exploring these forgotten urban spaces and documenting the fascinating and sometimes beautiful phenomena that they’ve found there, the anonymous crew of intrepid explorers behind Decayed Richmond have spent the last several months attempting to assemble a documentary that depicts the hidden, or simply ignored, spaces within this city, in which nature is constantly at work on its own urban reclamation project.
