NO WAVE

Went to see Thurston Moore and Byron Coley speak about their book NO WAVE, at the Strand bookstore this evening. Fairly interesting talk about a really weird sub-genre of NYC punk that happened quickly in the late 70s. Not one of my favorite types of music, but it's interesting to hear another chapter of NYC underground music history, and basically I'm a SONIC YOUTH fan, so I figured "what the hell." The usual mix of squares and nerds got the book signed, but I decided against it, and just snapped a pic with the iphone. Nice evening in one of my favorite bookstores.
