  2. The Dead Already Paid for Washington Square Park

    New York University made an announcement this week. The school pledged $6 million over four years to the Washington Square Park Conservancy, the nonprofit steward of the nine-and-three-quarter-acre square at the foot of Fifth Avenue. The university's own headline chose a gambler's verb: "Doubles Down." The money is real. The park needs care, and the Conservancy has paid for horticulture crews and free programming there for years. NYU students treat the park as their quad because it is one. A school without a campus was handed a campus by geography, and the students love the ground they borrow. Grant all of that. The gift is generous, and the park will be cleaner for it. […]

  18. Bill Evans, Live at Art D’Lugoff’s Top Of the Gate, 2012 on Resonance

    Another Sunday, another Bill Evan’s live LP from Resonance. This one was recorded October 23, 1968 in Greenwich Village. This time Eddie Gomez and Marty Morell join Evans.

    This was recorded by Geoge Klabin himself, founder of the Rising Jazz Stars foundation and Resonance Records, as a 22 year old college student.

    My copy—via a private sale—is the 2019 Record Store Day limited edition numbered release.

  19. Self-Titled Summer | Suzanne Vega (1985, US)

    Our next spotlight on a Fedi-recommended self-titled album is on number 820 on The List, submitted by shiawase. Though many people likely only know of this artist via DNA's dance remix of "Tom's Diner", this singer-songwriter was an important part of the folk music revival and Greenwich Village music scene boom of the early 80s. The album we look at here is Vega's debut, a collection of stories presented in a stripped-back neo-folk style. And Vega is still going strong! She just released her 10th studio album, Flying with Angels, and is currently touring Europe/UK until the end of the year.

  20. Self-Titled Summer | Suzanne Vega (1985, US)

    Our next Self-Titled Summer spotlight is on number 820 on The List, submitted by shiawase. Here’s a quick rundown:

    • Point of origin(s): Born in California (in 1959) and raised in New York City, as a college student singer-songwriter Vega became part of the folk music revival and Greenwich Village music scene boom of the early 80s. Vega was part of Jack Hardy‘s songwriters’ group at the Cornelia Street Cafe, from which a cooperative and monthly anthology (The CooP/Fast Folk Musical Magazine) arose to give an outlet for independent artists to perform and put out their first recordings. Vega’s first was “Cracking” on the inaugural Fast Folk comp (February 1982), followed by a handful of other songs on subsequent Fast Folk issues over the next three years.[1] A year after Vega was signed to A&M Records, in May 1985 she released this, her debut album, which includes most of those Fast Folk songs (with the exception of “Tom’s Diner” and “Gypsy”, both of which would end up on Vega’s second album) plus more. Vega also performed the entire album (plus “Tom’s Diner” and “Gypsy”, as well as some great monologues) as a solo acoustic set at the SpeakEasy club in Greenwich Village the week the s/t came out. This lovely performance was released as a radio broadcast to promote the album; in 2014, the recording was finally released as an album (though possibly unofficially?), Live at the Speakeasy (also found under the title Live in New York 1985).
    • Tasting notes: Masterful storytelling via stripped-back contemporary folk/neo-folk, acoustic guitar
    • Standout track: The album’s first single, “Marlene on the Wall”; also “Small Blue Thing” and “The Queen and the Soldier”. I also really dig all the live Speakeasy versions.
    • Where are they now?: Vega’s s/t was a hit, as was her addition to the Pretty in Pink soundtrack (“Left of Center“) in 1986 and then her second album, Solitude Standing (1987). In 1989, she became the very first woman to headline the Glastonbury Festival. The following year then saw Vega’s biggest hit – indeed what most people know her for – being a remix of “Tom’s Diner” by British electronic dance duo DNA. Though originally showing up in clubs as an unsolicited bootleg titled “Oh Susanne”, Vega soon gave DNA permission for an official release. Around the same time, this song garnered Vega fame for a rather random reason, as the original a cappella version was used as the test song when the MP3 format was being developed by Karlheinz Brandenburg, particularly to see how the human voice fared with its compression algorithm. Brandenburg refined the algorithm until Vega’s voice sounded right, and christened Vega “Mother of the MP3”.
      Vega has gone on to do many other wonderful things, including: experimenting with the folk genre, winning many awards, being featured on a number of soundtracks, becoming a published author, becoming a playwright (with “Barely Breathing” Duncan Sheik!), hosting a Peabody Award-winning radio series, acting in an off-Broadway musical, and starting her own recording label and re-recording her back catalogue.
      Vega just released her 10th studio album this last May, Flying with Angels, and is currently touring it with dates in Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, England, and Scotland still to come.

    Happy listening!

    1. “Gypsy” and “Night Moves” (Jun and Sep ’82 comps), “The Queen and the Soldier” and “Some Journey” (Feb and Jun ’83), “Tom’s Diner and “Knight Moves” (Jan and Apr ’84), and finally “Small Blue Thing” (May ’85). ↩︎

  22. Incredible rare access story from Michelle Young at Untapped New York: climbing inside the Washington Square Park Arch!

    120 steps up a narrow spiral staircase reveal Guastavino's signature brick work, a cavernous hidden room, and architectural details most people never see. The arch isn't normally open due to accessibility and safety concerns, making this glimpse inside even more special. #Architecture #NYC #GreenwichVillage #UntappedHistory
