Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s first feature film: Love Is Colder Than Death (1969).
Stark, fantastic harshness.
You know what’s also colder than death? – Germans.
Academy LP’s at 415 East 12th street, between 1st avenue and avenue A.
My favorite record store in the east village nowadays. Reasonably priced used & new vinyl. Reasonably friendly, eternally un-impressed staff.
There’s the 2 for $5 bin. Also a Japanese 180 gram vintage vinyl pressing of Ziggy Stardust still shrink-wrapped for $30. A fantastic jazz section.
Some other vinyl stores’ prices in the neighborhood have sky-rocketed as of the new year, maybe their new resigned leases are $3,000 more per month.
The records have been re-priced from $8 to $22 overnight at A1 records on 6th street between 1st avenue and A. It doesn’t help that they have always been complete dicks at that store, now it’s also overpriced.
So enjoy this store and the Cher doll head in the window while it’s all still here (things change). If you ask nicely they might let you braid her hair.
Super Massive Party in the Rose Center for Earth and Space after hours with open bar, indie video games, live music, and exclusive access to the new space exhibition!!!! It’s a total nerd-out of galactic proportions.
Play custom arcade games provided by Babycastles, Brooklyn’s DIY arcade. Enjoy drinks and appetizers while special musical guest One Ring Zero fills the Cullman Hall of the Universe with music from their album Planets, a tribute to the solar system. Then, make your way to Beyond Planet Earth: The Future of Space Exploration, where you can smell the Moon (I’m hoping it will smell like smoked Gouda… man), deflect asteroids, fly over Mars, terraform (so FireFly!) the red planet using a custom, multi-player interactive table, and play other out-of-this-world games.
