Sandy can't stop Halloween (photo via)
We just posted the many NYC cancellations for tonight/Halloween (though more shows are still happening tonight than previous nights), and there's already a few cancellations being announced for Thursday (11/1).
The Meat Loaf show at Beacon Theatre, which was supposed to happen on Thursday has been postponed to a later date. An announcement on the new date is forthcoming.
Woodkid was forced to cancel his dates in NYC, San Francisco, and LA due to the hurricane and its effect on major airports. The NYC show was supposed to happen Thursday (11/1) at Irving Plaza and will be rescheduled to a TBA date. Tickets are refundable at the reseller.
As mentioned, the ESG show at Bowery Electric with Sinkane has been postponed to a later date TBD in December/January. The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black show that was moved to Thursday from Tuesday (10/30) has been cancelled.
As mentioned, all Dita Von Teese shows have been cancelled.
The Squarepusher, Bonobo (DJ), Holy Fuck, and Mount Kimbie show at Terminal 5 is still on, and there will be drink specials before Squarepusher's headlining set. Squarepusher just played Moogfest in Asheville over the weekend, but had to cancel other dates on the tour after that, including his show in Silver Spring, MD on Monday (10/29) and his Boston show tonight (10/31).
The Freelance Whales show at Webster Hall is still on too, but with recent reports from ConEd about the power situation in lower Manhattan, it wouldn't be surprising if that show gets cancelled. UPDATE: Yep, postponed.
UPDATE: Todd Barry's show at the Bell House is postponed.
The Darcys were supposed to play Mercury Lounge on Thursday (11/1) with Rey Pila but it has been postponed to November 6.
The Tom Tom Club show at Brooklyn Bowl is still on as of this post (and looking good considering the Big Freedia Halloween show is going on as scheduled).
The Chris Gethard Show is presenting a show on Thursday at Littlefield called "Come Take A Ride With The Weirdest Bands We Know" that features Big Digits, Stumblebum Brass Band, Naked Heroes and Mindtroll. Tickets for that show are on sale now.
Social Distortion were forced to cancel their show at The Chance in Poughkeepsie on Sunday (10/28), but their shows at Starland Ballroom on Thursday and Friday are still on for now
We're still keeping tabs on the status of Santos Party House and we'll let you know when we have more info. As of now, the show is still on with Wolf Gang, Alex Metric, The Royal Concept, and Atlas Genius. They tweeted "We're still sorting things out, cross your fingers and stay posted." Tickets are on sale.
Over at Carnegie Hall, the performance by the Orchestra of St. Luke's with conductor Nicholas McGegan that was to be in Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage, has been rescheduled for Saturday, June 1 with soloist to be announced. And the performance by pianist Wael Farouk, that was to happen in Weill Recital Hall, has been rescheduled for Saturday, June 1. Tickets for both November 1 performances will be honored at their new date.
The Brooklyn Nets vs New York Knicks game at Barclays Center is postponed. New date: Saturday at 7:30pm.
We'll keep updating this post.
What else?

Mucca Pazza, going nutza @ Knitting Factory
Mucca Pazza, the opening act [at Lincoln Center], was entertaining in a novelty way: competent, fun, funny and fully entertaining. Their geeky routine consisted of knowledgeably eclectic musicians wearing high-school band uniforms, playing music and jumping about the stage accompanied by four cheerleaders. If a category had to be assigned them, perhaps it would be Om-Pa-Pa-Klezmer. [Queer New York]Big Band bombast from Chicago's Mucca Pazza was in effect at Knitting Factory on August 6th , as the band headlined the space with an assist from from LES's Stumblebum Brass Band, and Starring. Belated pictures and video from that show are below.
If you missed the brassy madness, Mucca Pazza (who also played Lincoln Center Out of Doors while they were here) will do small strings of dates in September and October, eventually landing at Wellmont on 10/9 where they will support Primus. Meanwhile, Stumblebum Brass band are scheduled to play NYC TONIGHT as part of "The Underclass Revue" with Brownbird Rudy Relic, Orb Mellon, and Low Society at Bowery Electric. The gig is one of three upcoming gigs for the local band. They will also play Sept 11th at Rockwood Music Hall and Oct 6th at Otto's Shrunken Head.

Bible in Basic English (BBE) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Now after these things, the Lord made selection of seventy others and sent them before him, two together, into every town and place where he himself was about to come. | 1 After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. |
2 And he said to them, There is much grain ready to be cut, but not enough workers: so make prayer to the Lord of the grain-fields that he will send workers to get in the grain. | 2 He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. |
3 Go on your way: see, I send you out like lambs among wolves. | 3 Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. |
4 Take no bag for money or for food, and no shoes; say no word to any man on the way. | 4 Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road. |
5 And whenever you go into a house, first say, Peace be to this house. | 5 "When you enter a house, first say, 'Peace to this house.' |
6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will be with him: but if not, it will come back to you again. | 6 If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; if not, it will return to you. |
7 And keep in that same house, taking what food and drink they give you: for the worker has a right to his reward. Do not go from house to house. | 7 Stay in that house, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move around from house to house. |
8 And into whatever town you go, if they take you in, take whatever food is given to you: | 8 "When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is set before you. |
9 And make well those in it who are ill and say to them, The kingdom of God is near to you. | 9 Heal the sick who are there and tell them, 'The kingdom of God is near you.' |
10 But if you go into a town where they will not have you, go out into the streets of it and say, | 10 But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say, |
11 Even the dust of your town, which is on our feet, we put off as a witness against you; but be certain of this, that the kingdom of God is near. | 11 'Even the dust of your town that sticks to our feet we wipe off against you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God is near.' |
12 I say to you, It will be better in that day for Sodom than for that town. | 12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town. |
13 A curse is on you, Chorazin! A curse is on you, Beth-saida! For if such works of power had been done in Tyre and Sidon as have been done in you, they would have been turned from their sins, in days gone by, seated in the dust. | 13 "Woe to you, Korazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. |
14 But it will be better for Tyre and Sidon, in the day of judging, than for you. | 14 But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. |
15 And you, Capernaum, were you not lifted up to heaven? you will go down to hell. | 15 And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to the skies? No, you will go down to the depths. |
16 Whoever gives ear to you, gives ear to me; and whoever is against you, is against me; and whoever is against me, is against him who sent me. | 16 "He who listens to you listens to me; he who rejects you rejects me; but he who rejects me rejects him who sent me." |
17 And the seventy came back with joy, saying, Lord, even the evil spirits are under our power in your name. | 17 The seventy-two returned with joy and said, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name." |
18 And he said, I was watching for Satan, falling from heaven like a star. | 18 He replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. |
19 See, I have given you power to put your feet on snakes and evil beasts, and over all the strength of him who is against you: and nothing will do you damage. | 19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. |
20 Do not be glad, however, because you have power over spirits, but because your names are recorded in heaven. | 20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven." |
21 In that same hour he was full of joy in the Holy Spirit and said, I give praise to you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have kept these things secret from the wise and the men of learning, and have made them clear to little children: for so, O Father, it was pleasing in your eyes. | 21 At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure. |
22 All things have been given to me by my Father: and no one has knowledge of the Son, but only the Father: and of the Father, but only the Son, and he to whom the Son will make it clear. | 22 "All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him." |
23 And, turning to the disciples, he said privately, Happy are the eyes which see the things you see: | 23 Then he turned to his disciples and said privately, "Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. |
24 For I say to you that numbers of prophets and kings have had a desire to see the things which you see, and have not seen them, and to have knowledge of the things which have come to your ears, and they had it not. | 24 For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it." |
25 And a certain teacher of the law got up and put him to the test, saying, Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life? | 25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" |
26 And he said to him, What does the law say, in your reading of it? | 26 "What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?" |
27 And he, answering, said, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and for your neighbour as for yourself. | 27 He answered: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' " |
28 And he said, You have given the right answer: do this and you will have life. | 28 "You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live." |
29 But he, desiring to put himself in the right, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour? | 29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" |
30 And Jesus, answering him, said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he got into the hands of thieves, who took his clothing and gave him cruel blows, and when they went away, he was half dead. | 30 In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. |
31 And by chance a certain priest was going down that way: and when he saw him, he went by on the other side. | 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. |
32 And in the same way, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, went by on the other side. | 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. |
33 But a certain man of Samaria, journeying that way, came where he was, and when he saw him, he was moved with pity for him, | 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. |
34 And came to him and put clean linen round his wounds, with oil and wine; and he put him on his beast and took him to a house and took care of him. | 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him. |
35 And the day after he took two pennies and gave them to the owner of the house and said, Take care of him; and if this money is not enough, when I come again I will give you whatever more is needed. | 35 The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.' |
36 Which of these three men, in your opinion, was neighbour to the man who came into the hands of thieves? | 36 "Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?" |
37 And he said, The one who had mercy on him. And Jesus said, Go and do the same. | 37 The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him." Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise." |
38 Now, while they were on their way, he came to a certain town; and a woman named Martha took him into her house. | 38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. |
39 And she had a sister, by name Mary, who took her seat at the Lord's feet and gave attention to his words. | 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. |
40 But Martha had her hands full of the work of the house, and she came to him and said, Lord, is it nothing to you that my sister has let me do all the work? Say to her that she is to give me some help. | 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself ? Tell her to help me!" |
41 But the Lord, answering, said to her, Martha, Martha, you are full of care and troubled about such a number of things: | 41 "Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, |
42 Little is needed, or even one thing only: for Mary has taken that good part, which will not be taken away from her. | 42 but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her." |

Oh my, my, my! I love it. Your dh has excellent taste if that is all his furniture. I love the way it's decorated too. Is the built in cabinet, with glass cabinets above, in the dining room or kitchen? It's great. |
- Posted by moccasinlanding (My Page) on Sun, Nov 14, 10 at 10:06
Marti, the picture you refer to, that is in the dining room. He built the uppers and the lowers. The lowers are the depth of regular UPPER cabs, and the uppers are even more shallow. They are good for display. The lowers are good for storage. He had the Silestone quarts counter tops of the connected kitchen continued on these lower cabs. For some reason, the photos I uploaded showed the other day, but today they are only shown as a blue row of text today. Can anyone see them still? About the furniture. The dining table and chairs and buffet were his. I bought the rest, except the sectional sofa came from his daughter....we got her old one when we gave her a new one for Christmas. Seemed like a good idea to me, since we will not have room in Mobile for a second house full of furniture when we sell up here. The poster bed in the master bedroom is a full size with really new fine mattress. Then we have THREE twin sets upstairs in the guest bedrooms, all brand new and matching frames, so we'll save those to move south....at least TWO of them will be used by a granddaughter who will start college in a year or so. Some of this furniture will be saved for her use. But, the buffet, a glass-fronted hutch going with the buffet, a couple of student desks, some big low chests, a couple of highboy chests, those are looking for new homes. Yes, we've gotten as far as choosing what we will give to family and what we will take for our use, and what will be sold or given away or even left in the house. As you see, having the garage finished for safe storage is a big deal for our future plans. |

The pics showed the other day. Reckon I should post them in the home decor gallery? Not sure how to do that and then link to it, but I will try. I apologize but have no idea what happened to the photos. It's happened a lot recently with GW. |
- Posted by shades_of_idaho (My Page) on Sun, Nov 14, 10 at 10:30
ML The pictures are showing fine for me. Glad you posted them. Such lovely spaces. I adore the cabs in the dinning room. So pretty. Actually all of it is warm and cozy looking. I am confused though. This is the house in MA right? Is the house in Alabama painted the same color inside? |
- Posted by moccasinlanding (My Page) on Sun, Nov 14, 10 at 14:14
Hehehehe. Shades, this is the house in MA. The living room color is the same in both our houses. Also the bedroom colors. Both DH and I love the WARM TERRA COTTA and the FRESH PRALINE paints from Behr. My bed coverings will fit either house. BUT, with the new master bedroom suite in Mobile, the wall color will be different. I've chosen SMOKED OYSTER, which is a grayish lavender for that room. We'll see how that flies. The new beadboard bathroom is probably going to get a white woodwork paint, then something called ORANGE CONFECTION, which reads white until you note a faint touch of orange in it. DH chose that paint for his garden shed, and it is really outstanding. In full sun, it is white but not glaring, and in shade it has a faint tint of orange. Very pretty. I'm thinking it will warm up the bathroom yet coordinate with the grayed lavender of the bedroom. Maybe not, but it's only paint and can be changed. And I still cannot see the photos today. Like I've remarked elsewhere, I do not know what is going on with my computer! |
- Posted by shades_of_idaho (My Page) on Sun, Nov 14, 10 at 15:35
LOL ML you got me on that one for sure. Laughing at myself. I really love the contrast of the cool bright white against your terracotta. I also love your attitude it is only paint. I already repainted our kitchen because the green was not right with the tile back splash. It is only paint and some time. I am not sure when I am going to start in on painting the rest of the house. And still trying to decide if it will be colors of the whisper white it already is only in semi gloss. I need washable paint here with the dogs. And maybe do the wainscot in the hall and and and. So many decisions to make. I think your lavender will be good with the light orange. Purple and orange are in right now. The lavender/periwinkle I used in the guest room looked gray on the paint chip not so on the wall. Still I love it. |

Just lovely! I think I've seen these pics before, but I sure enjoyed them again. I love the sunroom area - plants just make a place so homey! I also love fireplaces. I so hope I never have to live in a home without one. ~Missy |
I can still see the pictures today. Maybe you need to clear cookies. In the master, is that an enclosed sun deck? It is so pretty. |
- Posted by desertsteph (My Page) on Mon, Nov 15, 10 at 15:56
moccasin - that is one lovely home! wow! the family that buys it will be very, very lucky indeed. 'It is only paint and some time. I am not sure when I am going to start in on painting the rest of the house.' start after you 'practice' down here in AZ! test out that semi gloss... I wish I could think of painting 9 rooms (including 2 baths and a laundry room) as just some paint and time... to me it equals a lot of pain - lol! |
- Posted by shades_of_idaho (My Page) on Mon, Nov 15, 10 at 22:03
Steph you crank up the music to help take the pain away. |
- Posted by moccasinlanding (My Page) on Tue, Nov 16, 10 at 10:05
Marti, yes, the sunporch is off the master, and creates a sitting room sort of. DH likes to sit there and read. And Steph, thanks for the compliment on the house. I will be sorry to leave it, because it has space for everything. But at this point in our lives, I cannot deal with all the stairs, and DH cannot deal with all the winter chores. We will have less space down south, but we won't have the heavy work involved with snowy weather. All we'll have is tons of grass cutting, trimming plants, keeping the A/C working! But Steph, that is really all there is, some paint and time. I never get in a hurry while painting, because the process of painting is such an opportunity to think about different subjects. For DH, he will tackle a house job when he wants to think....then at dinner that night, he says what he was thinking about, and he can then discuss it. I say that he "internalizes" things. And with me, I let my mind "drift" until it looks at matters from multiple angles. When I finish with all my house painting, I plan to do some furniture and some canvases to hang on the walls. |
wow, I dream of the day my Cape can be that gorgeous. Thanks for sharing! |

ML, it is a very welcoming home. I love how his NE sensibilities with the cape cod and beachy pictures, mullioned windows, and slanted ceilings mixes well with your southern plantation shutters and bright colors. The exterior of the house is my favorite dusty blue! And I love the peachy front door with it. Really, this is my dream house (except in my dreams I have knees that work and can do steps!) Oh, is the little white dog peeing on the wall under the table in the upstairs bedroom a statue, or a real dog? |

what a gorgeous house ML. I just love those kitchen cabs and the warm colours you've used and so much attention to detail everywhere. In the 10th photo down you have a side on view of a fireplace (the photo where it looks like you have packets of flooring or something stacked in front of the window), are those painted bricks or tiles on the fireplace? any chance you could post a full pic of it? I just love the colours and I'm still looking for inspiration for my fp here. Such a beautiful house (I already have your sunporch pics saved in my inspiration folder) :) |

IGarvin, hang in there, and one day.....it will feel right. Trance, I'll do a full on shot of the fireplae in the family room for you. Those are tiles I think, around the firebox and on the hearth. The hearth is raised up, which must be a NE style, because the ones I see down south are almost always level with the rest of the floor. The firebox itself is a metal lined in firebrick and it has a recirculating fan which throws the heat from the box walls back into the room. I'll post pictures in a separate thread for you. Nancy, you found the secret joke in the house. Oh yes, that little white dog has his leg up, and it is hilarious to me. That figure is not a real maltese but close in size and color too. You see, when my boy maltese, MoonPie, met the man who became DH, his first response was to walk across to the dining chair where he sat, and politely pee on the chair leg. So when I saw that figure of a white dog doing exactly that, I bought it and mailed it to DH. To make the story even funnier to me, DH had never been around dogs growing up, and he did not realize the significance of the leg not being the same as the other three...you know, not resting on the floor. So when I saw how he placed it, he had the dog balancing on three legs and the front paw was off the floor. Anyone who knows dogs knows what is happening, right? So now I have it in a bedroom by a furniture leg. These days, MoonPie and Papa get along fine, and Moon only hikes his leg on Dixie's (our doxie) toys. Shades, you give Steph good advice about cranking up the music. It drowns out any distractions, and you go into a private world, just you and the paint and the surface. |

I love love love this house, I'm so partial to capes and this one is so pretty :) The sunroom seems like the perfect place to spend your mornings. |
I'm really late to the party. Thanks so much for sharing your pics...and they are showing up. I've had computer problems, reason for no postings. Almost asked another poster to let you know. Love terra cotta too...and green. Your home is so well done, what fun to see the inside. Envy here with the amount of room you have. Love the porch. Sandy |

Enigmaquandry, I'm partial to capes also, and never expected to have the opportunity to live in one. In the south,there is a style of home similar, with a porch all across the front, sometimes raised up high, and it is the CREOLE COTTAGE. Frequently high enough up to brick beneath it, and have some garden room below, maybe parking, and it is sometimes screened from view by lattice and perhaps even solid brickwork. Very romantic, with a wide set of steps going up to the front porch and that door. The sunroom or sunporch up north is the jewel of that cape. I really like the floor/ceiling sheers, pulled back to create a series of "vignettes" in front of each pair of sliders. It softens the view out the windows, and IMHO it makes the boughs of the hemlock hedge come alive when the birds, squirrels, and rabbits find shelter there. Just in front of the sunporch, I had DH create a triangular cement pad so that end of the foundation planting would sort of curl into the front yard away from the porch. I think it helps balance the HEAVY side of the house, which has the driveway and plantings going down the drive etc. Right now, I have a cement birdbath on the cement pad. A little focal point for that side of the yard. |

Awwwwww, lovely home, beautiful. I envy people who have style and can create spaces like this - seems so natural and simple yet perfect! I love the kitchen countertop what a perfect choice. My favorite feature are those sheer curtains in the sunroom. Good for you - so clever. I keep scrolling to look at how simple and pretty they are in that room. Just wonderful! That's when I said Awwwwwww! So, you have put this house in Massachusetts on the market and home in Alabama will be your primary residence? This has been quite a process for you! |
