Music Notes

Arrived at Magnetic Fields in Brooklyn way too late on Friday night and missed my friend Lex's DJ set as well a live performance by the Dansettes, a New York girl group on the soul tip. The Dansettes' Jennie Wasserman (pictured) is da bomb! A petite blonde with a voracious appetite for '60s soul, she spun a set of Northern soul (a version of Evie Sands' "Take Me For A Little While" that I had never heard before) and girl pop (Lesley Gore's "Wonder Boy"). Subway Soul @ Rififi on 332 East 11th Street is hosting a '60s night with five girl DJs (Jennie included) on February 19th- I am so there.

Just got word that filmmaker (+ Cha Cha Charming contributing writer) Pink Frankenstein is screening a sample of his film Bardot A Go Go at the San Francisco Indie Film Festival. Here's the info:

Tuesday February 8th, 5pm
Sunday February 13th, 12pm

Check the SF Indie Fest Website for more details:

I am deeply immersed in the book Lords Of Chaos: The Bloody Rise Of The Satanic Metal Underground, a fascinating and very thorough document of the Norwegian black metal scene and its connection to Satanism, suicide, murder, and Church burnings. I figured it'd be a healthy break from my usual pop reading.

Remind me to e-mail the editor of Roctober magazine to thank them for stealing my diary entry (the one about Kiiiii in Tokyo) and reprinting it with the cruelest credit ever (from some website by someone named Sheila). Lovely.

I'm going to be writing a monthly column for MTV Japan's free music paper. I guess I'm now their official New York correspondent- yay!

I can't get enough of Bang Gang. Listen and love this song.
