Living in a city like New York is a constant exercise in seeing the things that you love go away. And for independent culture fans in the city, one of the most devastating losses of this century was that of Kim's Video, a hybrid video and record store with a flagship location on Saint Marks Place in the East Village and clerks who were both revered and feared for their encyclopedic knowledge of film and music. Kim's Video holds a special place in Emilie's heart — she worked her first job out of high school there. And for many decades, it was home to one of the largest and most comprehensive video rental collections in the world, with a wealth of cinematic obscurities and hard-to-find gems that earned it a cult following among both local cinephiles and art-house legends like Quentin Tarantino, Chloë Sevigny, Jean-Luc Godard, and the Coen brothers. So when the shop's enigmatic impresario, Mr. Kim, announced that Kim's Video was closing up shop, and it came out that the store's 55,000-work collection had ended up in a small Italian town called Salemi, a lot of people were understandably very upset and confused. Lucky for us, two filmmakers and Kim's Video devotees — David Redmon and Ashley Sabin — decided to track down the collection. But when they arrived in Salemi and discovered the archives in a state of disarray, they found themselves in the middle of a cross-continental mystery that took them from Sicily, to South Korea, to Mr. Kim's New Jersey home, and that ran much deeper than a simple case of streaming supplanting your local video rental place. That story, and the resulting fate of the Kim's Video collection, are captured in David and Ashley's fascinating and often baffling feature documentary, Kim's Video. Today, David joins us to talk about the story of Kim's Video and Yong-man Kim, who famously started selling videos out of a dry cleaning shop after emigrating to New York from South Korea. We also explore the particular era in underground culture, and in the history of the East Village, of which Kim's was such an important part; what we lose when our consumption of media loses its connection to physical objects; and whether the current interest in the Kim's collection, which the directors helped return to its current location at Alamo Drafthouse in Downtown Manhattan, is symptomatic of a larger yearning for a more tangible experience of culture.PS.

New city data shows New Yorkers are more likely to have been killed by a driver than a gunman this year, with 127 people killed by drivers since January. Also, New York Philharmonic President and CEO Gary Gintsling resigned on Thursday after just one year on the job. And in Queens, Rockaway Beach reopens Friday after shark sightings forced authorities to close a stretch on Thursday. Plus, Beth Israel Hospital in Downtown Manhattan is not closing this week despite initial plans to shut down by July 12. The hospital is serving a fraction of its former patient load, and officials say they still hope to close soon. WNYC's Michael Hill speaks with health care reporter Caroline Lewis to explain the situation. Finally, as Democrats clash over President Biden's candidacy, WNYC's Brigid Bergin talks to retired New York Democrats about how they made the decision to relinquish power.

NEW YORK (ITALPRESS) - "In galera!". Si sentono queste grida fuori il tribunale dove sta avvenendo il processo più importante d'America. Già, se alla fine del processo per i soldi dati alla porno star "Stormy Daniels" Donald Trump venisse ritenuto colpevole e subito arrestato? "In galera!", continuano a gridare, ma ci accorgiamo che chi lo fa ha le bandiere MAGA di Trump. Ma che significa? A quanto pare alcuni dei suoi sostenitori accampati fuori dal tribunale di Downtown Manhattan sarebbero contenti e soddisfatti dell' arresto del tycoon. sat/gsl (Video di Stefano Vaccara)

Avant-garde cinema emerged in direct conversation with the film criticism that contextualized, championed, and critiqued it. Writing about work that is premised on defying formulaic intelligibility, and which invites us to reach beyond language to other modes of interpretation, can be both challenging and thrilling—requiring the critic to draw on a deep historical knowledge and a finely-tuned sensory awareness. And reading such criticism can be at once an eye-opening entryway into better appreciating experimental cinema, and its own creative encounter with connections across image and thought. Last Thursday, Film Comment Editors Clinton Krute and Devika Girish sat down with Amy Taubin, Genevieve Yue, and Ayanna Dozier, some of the best critics of the avant-garde working today, to discuss the history of the craft, the nitty-gritty of this niche beat, what good writing on avant-garde cinema looks and sounds like, and what to even call the genre—avant-garde? Experimental? The other cinema? The talk took place at DCTV's Firehouse Cinema in Downtown Manhattan as part of this year's edition of Prismatic Ground, an exemplary and boundary-pushing festival dedicated to experimental documentary. Throughout the inspired conversation, the group referred to a few exemplary passages written by the esteemed panelists.

NEW YORK (ITALPRESS) - La “terza carica” degli USA, lo speaker della Camera Mike Johnson, martedì mattina è apparso Downtown Manhattan davanti ai giornalisti assemblati fuori mentre è in corso il processo a Donald Trump soprannominato “Hush Money” (Soldi per il silenzio, quelli dati alla pornostar “Stormy Daniels”). Mentre il testimone principale, l'ex avvocato di Trump Michael Cohen, rispondeva alle domande dei procuratori, Johnson parlando in un parco di fronte al tribunale, ha lanciato una fortissima accusa al processo, definendolo senza termini una “parodia della giustizia”. Johnson ha definito il procedimento penale dello Stato di New York contro Trump un attacco politico, che discredita la democrazia degli Stati Uniti e mette in pericolo la stabilità e la fiducia dei cittadini nel paese. Per Johnson, il giudice e il procuratore hanno imbastito un processo “partigiano” per far vincere le elezioni a Biden contro Trump. xo9/mgg/gtr (video di Stefano Vaccara)

SERIES 2 EPISODE 162: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Stochastic threat number one million. Trump returns to his propaganda channel to insist that his thugs should be, quoting his online post, “allowed to protest at the front steps of Courthouses, all over the country” rather than be “rudely and systematically shut down and ushered off to far away ‘holding areas' essentially denying them their constitutional rights.” He tells them “Rally behind MAGA. Save our country. The only thing you have to fear is fear itself.” When THAT stochastic call to lay siege to federal buildings didn't work (why does that sound SO familiar?) Trump tried what he thinks is smooth and subtle. “The Palestinian Protests at Columbia University have closed the college down. But the area surrounding the Courthouse in Downtown Manhattan, is closed up like a drum, with New York City's Finest (Police) all over the place. Why not send some to Columbia… Republicans want the right to protest in front of the courthouse like everyone else.” Again. Seems oddly familiar. Reduce law enforcement around an area Trump wants to see sacked by gangs and militias and morons ready to spring him or hang a Vice President or, who knows, kill a judge. He forgot to note “will be wild.” Justice Juan Merchan  There is little for Justice Juan Merchan to DO about this latest threat other than to encourage the city and the state of New York to have tanks ready because frankly if Trump terrorist gangs again rise up against the government as he had them do on January 6th the only way the point is going to be made clear is if it ends with the New York Department of Sanitation having to clean them up with brooms and hoses and garbage trucks. But with Trump following yesterday's half-day in court ending with more violations of the gag order, Merchan can at least regain control of this mess by - if not jailing Trump at today's gag order hearing - at least saying: if you do it again I will revoke your jail and send you to Rikers Island. We have to grasp this nettle eventually, let's do it now. In the long term, the ACTUAL Trump Legal headline may have come not from New York but Florida where witness exhibits in the Trump Espionage case reveal that the feds have a small coterie of witnesses close to Trump including an unidentified Person 16, clearly a senior Trump aide but not in the innermost circle, who revealed nothing less than the fact that Trump's “people” told his valet and co-defendant Walt Nauta not to worry about the stolen documents case, that it's not going anywhere, yet even if he were to, say, get charged with lying to the FBI, Trump will pardon him after he regains power. B-Block (26:33) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The man Nate Silver once thought was a top-five candidate to be the next Democratic presidential nominee, Eric Adams, is down to 16% support for re-election as mayor of New York. Kevin McCarthy is surprised to learn his claim Hillary Clinton never conceded is a lie. And ESPN's policy - no, you can't be a sportscaster on one station and an advocate for a presidential candidate on another - was right. I know: I helped to author it because the day when you (or I) could is long gone. So why is today's ESPN letting Stephen A. Smith do it? Why is he campaigning for Trump on Fox News? ESPN must silence him - or fire him. C-Block (37:32) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: So I once had an agent named Art Kaminsky who at the same time he was negotiating to extend my deal at KCBS in Los Angeles was also sending his other clients in for the job. And he ordered his partner Lou Oppenheim to NOT tell me as he literally walked out of the meeting at which KCBS told him whether or not I was staying. This all ends with them serving me with papers hours before my first SportsCenter, 32 years ago this month!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hi gang. You ever notice how every generation, in every big city, seems to have a moment when the scene that defined them — the music venues, artists' lofts, dive bars, and misfit inhabitants that collectively forged a cultural zeitgeist — is declared dead? Think: The closure of CBGB in Manhattan, the arrival of Erewhon in Silver Lake, the memeification of Berghain in Berlin. The phenomenon raises some interesting questions: Which came first, the predatory hand of late capitalism, or the generation aging into acquiescence? Are these collapses inevitable, and if so, are they truly as dire as people say they are?So today, we're talking about scenes — how they start, the conditions that make them possible, and why, to the chagrin of so many successive generations of musicians and music fans, they inevitably all come to an end. Our guest, Jesse Rifkin, actually studies this stuff for a living: He's the founder of Walk on the Wild Side Tours NYC, a company that gives walking tours chronicling how different New York City neighborhoods — and factors like cheap rent, geographical proximity, and changing residential and nightlife laws — gave rise to era-defining music scenes like punk, post-punk, hip-hop, disco, and ‘90s and ‘00s indie rock. Of course, he also explores how those scenes helped fuel the process of gentrification that would eventually lead to their own undoing — and what arises, or doesn't arise, in their aftermath.His new book, This Must Be the Place: Music, Community, and Vanished Spaces in New York City (out July 11 via HarperCollins) examines how that story played out in Downtown Manhattan and North Brooklyn over a 60-year period where we see this process play out over and over again. It starts with the 1960s West Village folk scene (à la Bob Dylan and Buffy Sainte Marie playing at packed coffee houses in an area of the city that is now pretty much synonymous with NYU and expensive gyms). And it ends with the 2010s Williamsburg Brooklyn scene, where our millennial-aged listeners remember frequenting venues like Death by Audio and 285 Kent. (Emilie sure does — it was her life for a while.) In his work as an NYC music historian, Jesse noticed a pattern: New Yorkers are always complaining that the city is “over,” and if you ask them when it “ended,” they usually say that happened around the time they hit 35 or 37, precisely at the moment when most of us get a bit tired of going out to parties every night. The book, he says, is an attempt to reframe our understanding of scenes as bygone golden ages made possible by once-in-a-generation artistic geniuses. He wants us to understand that scenes are a product of the specific historical and geographical circumstances in which they arise — and, even more importantly, that of ordinary people figuring out how to tap into the unique opportunities those circumstances afford. He joins us to discuss the geographical history of downtown NYC music, how the internet has transformed how scenes form and broadcast themselves to the world, and what the new downtown scene, centered around a couple blocks in Chinatown, tells us about the moment in New York history — and perhaps culture at large — that we're living through now.  This is a public episode.

Sarah got the feeling of ”where she was meant to be” when she got the surprise offer of a book deal. The amazing process of writing the book happened in Copenhagen … another place where Sarah and her husband Chris just happened to travel too. The book took ten months to write and was finally publish in 2020 … just 2 years after she was first contacted by the publisher. The launch was in New York, and in her own words… it was like being in a movie …like being in “Sex in the City” in downtown Manhattan. “Find your Flow … a life changing practice for a happier you” was soon followed by her second book “Choose Happy”. Whilst she couldn't change the publishers name for this second book, she was able to create a book that makes you feel good … as she says it's like “a hug”.

City Council Member Carlina Rivera, a Manhattan Democrat, joined the show to discuss the launch of her campaign for Congress in the new 10th Congressional District of New York. Rivera discussed her vision for representing the district that now includes much of Downtown Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn, her priority issues, and what separates her from the rest of the crowded field.

In February 1973, he opened The Gallery in Downtown Manhattan with his older brother Joe Siano. New Yorker Magazine called it "one of the five most visually breathtaking nightspots of its time”. The Gallery was, alongside Macuso's Loft and The Paradise Garage, one of the three most important clubs in New York's 1970's underground disco scene. Both Larry Levan and Frankie Knuckles worked there before they both started there DJ careers. Knuckles had said in other interviews that he and Levan "spent a lot of the time hanging out in the booth, watching Nicky's every move. He pretty much taught us what we were doing.” Nicky in this part shares with us his family life and what happened to him during his adolescent years that changed his life forever.

We chat with Executive Director of Downtown Manhattan, Inc, Gina Scroggs.  Gina has been the ED for 13 years.  We talk about what Downtown Manhattan looked like pre-covid and what it looks like now as we attempt to re-open our economy.

The Culture Club No - not the Boy George led band of the 1980's and not even the awesome Club in Downtown Manhattan that bares the same name. We are talking about the culture club WITHIN the New York Islanders. Let's take it back a few months here. Clean out Day, April 9th 2018 - An unshaven and honestly disheveled looking Garth Snow feebly addresses the media, Doug Weight, with a sour look on his face attempts to do the same. Jon Ledecky reads, angrily - from a pre-written letter claiming that ownership and the team has let fans down. This is months following a billboard that was erected in Brooklyn, begging for the GM to be fired. It was just awkward, and honestly pretty confusing. It turns out, both Snow and Weight were lame ducks at that table that day in April. Things would eventually progress pretty rapidly afterwards  - Lou Lamoriello wouldn't be extended in Toronto. He winds up on Long Island, is named President of Hockey Operations and is given full autonomy by ownership. Stop the presses! Autonomy! What's that? Well, we would come to find out for sure. Lou started doing Lou type things. Leaks, they stopped. The culture, well he took it straight on and in one swoop - out with the old. It's what he does, right? Garth Snow and Doug Weight were removed as General Manager and Head Coach in the same afternoon on June 9th. Just like that, he ripped the bandaid off when nobody was even looking. As we move forward, Lou stated he was going to hire "the best coach available" and all signs were pointing to coaches without jobs - nobody expected a coach playing for and ultimately winning the Stanley Cup to reach a contract impasse with his team, the Washington Capitals, right? No, I didn't - you didn't, but Lou probably knew something and Barry Trotz was signed to a contract with the Islanders on June 21st. Just like that - the culture tide was changing. Lou would then go and add Steve Pellegrini, formerly of the New Jersey Devils as Assistant GM. Fire assistants Greg Cronin, Kelly Buchberger, and Luke Richardson - all Weight's guys. Curiously he would leave the Bridgeport staff as untouched.... Hire long time Trotz Assistant Lane Lambert as well as John Gruden (who's story is extremely interesting and worth a read, too). And then, they would let go of Goaltending coach - Fred Brathwaite in order to hire former Toronto Marlies tendy coach - Piero Greco, and following that up with the goalie whisperer in Mitch Korn as Director of Goaltending. Keep in mind both of these goalie guys are fresh off winning their leagues respective championships. So, to summarize - Every losing coach was canned and they brought in proven winners. Even Gruden has won at the levels he's coached. We have Trotz and Lambert that will install their own systems and evaluate talent. We have Greco who will work with Robin Lehner and Thomas Greiss and without a doubt work better numbers into their play. Gruden will work magic with the kids, or at least I assume that's the hope. In these sweeping changes, Lou Lamoriello has installed a system of accountability, proffessionalism and respect that the Islanders as an organization have not seen in a really long time. What they can do with the roster they have obviously remains to be seen, but the things coming out of the players mouths at this point have been really positive. It makes for exciting offseason talk, at the very least. I also took some Twitter questions for the podcast - just to try to involve some of you fine folks in the discussions. Let's take a look! Prepping for Episode One of The Isles Faithful Podcast @faithfulisles - let's hear some questions and I'll read your tweets on the show. #isles #islestwitter #hockeypodcast @nyislanders — Michael Schuerlein (@islesblogger) July 25, 2018     Hope you all enjoyed Episode Two!    

Do you ever get the feeling that we can tend to overcomplicate things when it comes to getting our life in order? While tools, tips, and hacks have their place - what about straight up personal responsibility? On this episode, you'll hear from entrepreneur and business leader, Chris Okada. Chris is a prolific dealmaker, entrepreneur, and CEO of Okada & Company, a full-service commercial real estate brokerage and investment company in New York City. Chris rose to distinction during the financial crisis of 2008 and its recovery by using the market's lowered state to transact in nearly $1B commercial real estate sales and leasing transactions in Midtown and Downtown Manhattan. Chris is also an avid blogger, speaker, and thought leader relating to entrepreneurship and real estate subjects. He has been featured numerous times in publications including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The New York Post, The Real Deal Magazine, Crain's NY, The Observer, and many other digital and print news agencies. Our culture has conditioned us to value self-preservation so highly that we've become allergic to anything that remotely looks like responsibility. Kaizenites, it's time that we confront this harmful message and move forward with a renewed focus on taking ownership of our actions including the positive and negative outcomes they create. Let's leave the blame game behind and create a brighter future! Here are a few takeaways from today's podcast episode with Chris Okada: You are not a self-made person, you are a product of your community! Gratitude is the gateway to happiness. Diversify your interests, you never know what opportunities they might open up! The right influences are key, look for people who will point you in the right direction. There are so many helpful insights that Chris has to share, I can't wait for you Kaizenites to dive in and find the lessons that will help move you further down your path to fulfillment! Outline of This Episode [4:40] Chris Okada joins the podcast. [5:45] Why like-minded people connect. [9:10] Chris talks about the impact his family has had on his journey. [15:30] What does it mean to “Win?” -- It's a luxury! [21:30] Finding balance and learning from Gary Vaynerchuk. [24:30] Gratitude is the gateway to happiness. [28:30] The difference between a high stakes deal and everything else. [37:00] Getting fired up and staying “Afraid.” [42:00] How visual goals can help you succeed. [46:00] Look for people who will point you in the right direction. [48:40] Learn how to execute in life and business. [51:30] Life is harder than business will ever be. [54:00] Chris' dream to create luxury retirement communities. [58:00] What does it mean to Own Your Self according to Chris? [59:50] An audit you can run through for a helpful self-diagnostic. [1:02:40] Who should connect with Chris? Grab the bull by the horns and take some personal responsibility! Let's face it, no one likes to get called out on their BS, I know I don't! That's why it's so refreshing to hear from leaders like Chris who are ridiculously humble and open to sharing their story. One of the primary themes from my conversation with Chris was the concept of personal responsibility. Not once did I hear Chris blame others for challenges and frustrations he's encountered in his life. A couple years back, Chris faced an onslaught of personal losses that sent him in a downward spiral and sunk him into a deep hole of grief. While he could have lashed out and blamed the circumstances or even those around him, Chris decided to go to work searching for solutions. Often times, the best solution to our problems is to pick ourselves up and go to work on finding a way to address our situation. Don't just think of success and achievement as the only areas of personal responsibility. Finding your way to a healthy work-life balance and out of your particular funk is something you need to take ownership of too! I'm ready to lay down my defensiveness and knee-jerk reactions of self-preservation and opt for embracing personal responsibility. Will you join me? Imagine what it would look like if a whole generation of leaders decided to quit playing the blame game. We'd live a more complete and fulfilled life, I want that! Learn more about the way forward from Chris' deep well of insights by listening to this engaging episode! Find your tribe and learn from them. You might see a successful and thriving business leader like Chris and wonder, “How did they achieve their position and status?” That's a great question, but the better question is, “Who do they surround themselves with?” You've heard the saying, “Show me your friends, and I'll show you your future,” right? It's true! While you can't choose your family, you can choose your friends and that says a lot about the type of person you are. It's time to start taking a hold of your life! Put on your big boy or big girl pants and take personal responsibility for the people you've surrounded yourself with. Don't let those draining and toxic relationships pull you down and limit your potential. All the drama and distractions in your personal life are yours to own and yours fix! Do you need to make so changes in that department? Do it, those problems won't sort themselves out, you've got to take action! Imagine what it would look like if you had a tribe of like-minded people who you could count on and who could count on you. You'd be unstoppable! I hate to break it to you but that tribe will never land in your lap! You've got to go out there and create it. Take this opportunity to learn from Chris' story and find out how people around him have helped him flourish and thrive in one of the loudest (figuratively and literally) environments on the planet, Manhattan. Diversify your interests and open up new possibilities! When was the last time you re-evaluated your approach to your career and your personal goals? Have you ever thought about doing something outside of the box to get some out of the box results? If you were to ask someone on the street how I got connected with Chris, the last response you'd ever expect to receive would be, through Instagram. The reason why we connected through that platform is due to Chris' desire to branch out and explore new possibilities. I LOVE Chris' gutsy approach and I think we all need to learn from his example and make some bold movements in our lives if we have any hope for substantial change. What can you do today to move the needle? Think of something that will really change things up and go for it! What do you have to lose? I'm fired up from my conversation with Chris and I'm ready to re-think some of my paradigms and do some things I've never done before. Are you with me!?

Frank J Miles is a pandisciplinary artist based in New York City: a visual artist, an artistic philosopher, a social sculptor who studied at Columbia University, and a former speechwriter for President Bill Clinton. His work is about atheism, death, competition, bonding, density and utopia. The creator of Communitas, his next step is an MFA PhD program overseas in art and philosophy. Communitas is an essential part of his art practice. It is: a downtown Manhattan creative think tank and salon; a pandisciplinary arts collective; a future global arts movement and civilization Communitas is a symposium of the occurrent arts and social sculpture, captures the times we are moving toward – continuing the tradition of a Downtown Manhattan participatory social practice where the evolving ideas of society, culture, and New York City converge. This creative think tank is a salon which brings artists and audiences from many worlds of New York City and beyond to create what is the next vanguard for the city – welcoming a diverse spectrum of creative voices engaging in dialogical aesthetics and art intervention. Bringing people together to open more worlds, make beauty and magic, create peace and freedom, be more futurist than nostalgic, Communitas uses global art and its power to build a united tomorrow not equal but egalitarian. He is shot out of a canon and this is, without a doubt, one of the best conversations I have had on OTB. In this episode, we discuss racism in the gay community, the perils of Tinder, and how art can help us understand and ultimately transcend the many labels society tries to put on each of us.
