The Residents Commercial DVD Not sure if anyone on this list is interested, but here goes: For all those who bought the Residents Commercial Album way back in 1980, you'll be pleased to know it's being turned into a DVD (release date set for October 25th) Party Party (in London) The Moles, in collaboration with Mute , are pleased to announce that we will be holding a special pre-release screening of the Commercial DVD. The screening will take place at the Horse Hospital (Russell Square, Central London) at 7.30pm on Friday, 22nd of October. Admission will be free (although a donation to the funds of the Horse Hospital would be appreciated). As at the Moles' Residents Cafi, there will be a free-to-enter raffle, with copies of the Commercial CD and DVD (generously donated by Mute) among the prizes. Copies of the CD and DVD will also be available to purchase at the screening. http://www.theresidents.co.uk/horse.html Other viewings are being arranged for the US and Germany - more may be arranged soon.

The Athens, GA band, I Am The World Trade Center, was living in New York when they recorded their first couple of albums. On the first I Am The World Trade Center album, the 11th track on the album is entitled, "September". This was a year before the attack, of course. By the way, did anyone else buy the 25th Anniversary edition of London Calling. I did. This reissue is quite good...every time that I listen to London Calling, I feel like a kid and want to jump up and down on my bed playing air guitar. It's an awesome listen.
