The International Bar formerly THE COAL YARD Corner of 1st Avenue & 6st. East Village NYC .The official Rubber Eden Bar is one that my Kid’s GF picked out for me on the lower east side one Fall. Must to check out the. No sound system (only a old juke box) nice and dark, circular bar stocked with regulars, ill-regulars, beats, punks, hippies, left-overs, reheated souls and characters galore and aglow. Friendly bartenders, cheap beer (yea they have 3 buck High Life) and a killer court yard out back (as displayed here) to have a butt and talk in. Here’s a link for more info

Essential Radio
Howard Thompson’s radio tour-de-force program entitled Pure on WPKN 89.5 FM from Bridgeport, Connecticut can be heard the 1st & 3rd Friday of the month, 1-4pm. Not in Tri-State terrestrial broadcast area of Long Island/Conn/Mass ? Not to worry you can stream this excellent eclectic free-for all. Just no telling what you’ll hear from Howard’s incredibility voluminous encyclopedic discography, but always the very best of the best across the broad spectrum of expression from Rock n Roll to the aural sonic world beyond. Perfect way to kick off the weekend. Essential links below:

All of my work is available at number of any number of on-line venues (just Google) However you can skip the middle men and deal w/ me directly. Faster and I’ll cut you a better deal. Previously released editions of the books/Cds, etc. are for sale directly through this website. Simply use the contact button (on the home page) to make inquiry. I can cut a better deal than the outside vendors. (Pay-Pal, money orders, cash, barter) And I’m not going to apologize for the shameless self-promotion here….yeah I know it’s all such small potatoes, but GD it those are my potatoes. So deep fry, bake or mash it, but put some starch in the Arts…. you cheap SOB
