Join music writers Jason Tanz, Alan Light and Sacha Jenkins for a panel
discussion on hip-hop culture and its assimilation into the mainstream.
“Hip-hop in the American pop-cultural mainstream is a matter of much
more than the Beastie Boys, as Tanz's skewering history of middle-class
white assimilation of black cultural motifs for fun and profit makes
clear…Food for thought.” (Booklist) The discussion will be followed by
a question and answer session and a book signing.

by omission.

Design Within Reach Brooklyn Heights Studio
76 Montague St / Hicks st
Brooklyn, NY 11201

unrepentant, this utterly compelling program of 13 favorites and
classic covers includes debut material from her two forthcoming MUTE
albums, Guilty Guilty Guilty, to be released in the fall of 2007, and
You’re My Thrill. The concert will feature the Ralph Stanley's
haunting O Death (The Reaper's love song), love songs for the mortals,
including Marlene Dietrich’s Moi je m’ennuie, Edith Piaf’s Padam,

You Do Right, Chet Baker’s The Thrill Is Gone, O. V. Wright’s Eight Men
and Four Women, Ronnie Earl's plaintive plea, A Soul That's Been

AT IFC!!!
Crispin Hellion Glover in person
with his feature film WHAT IS IT?
and dramatic presentation of his BIG SLIDE SHOW
Plus a Q&A and book signing, and footage from
Glover's new feature It Is Fine. EVERYTHING IS FINE!
Friday, February 9 - Sunday, February 11 at 7:30pm!
Renegade auteur Crispin Hellion Glover returns to New York to present
his notorious feature WHAT IS IT?, described as "the adventures of a
young man whose principal interests are snails, salt, a pipe and how to
get home, as tormented by a hubristic racist inner psyche." Its cast is
largely comprised of actors with Down's Syndrome, with Glover himself
also appearing in the film as an actor in the role of "Dueling Demi-God
Auteur and The Young Man's Inner Psyche." One of the movie's snail
characters is voiced by Fairuza Balk.
The program also features Crispin Hellion Glover's Big Slide Show, an
hour-long dramatic narration of eight stories taken from Victorian-era
books, plus a Q&A, a book signing and a special sneak preview of
scenes from the sequel to WHAT IS IT? -- part two of the 'It' trilogy,
Glover's newest film, It is Fine. EVERYTHING IS FINE!, which debuted at
this year's Sundance.
"For more than 20 years, Crispin Glover, actor, has maintained a truly
distinctive, oddball persona, existing on his own plane.
Unsurprisingly, his directorial debut, WHAT IS IT? -- which plays as
part of a double bill with a live, enthusiastically performed slide
show in which Mr. Glover displays pages from his recent series of books
-- is just as unclassifiable as he is... Crispin Hellion Glover,
auteur, is a force to be reckoned with." - Laura Kern, The New York
Times
