In the works for 2012: An old friend recently resurfaced reporting he ran across a lost copy of the Rubber Eden Cassette in a Humane Society yard sale and recognized the junk yard where the cover photo taken as his dad’s old place. He converted it to digital format and forwarded me a copy with an offer to do the same conversion to the other three lost 80/90s lost projects. (Radio Umpire, Lucky Ward and The Dybbuk Dreams. While some cuts had been re-mastered on the Vanishing Breed CD compilation a few years ago, many forgotten tracks are going to get new life/exposure and I will make limited copies available upon request exclusively through this website. More details as this restoration project takes shape.

Located in the heart of the East Village of New York City is Nightingale Lounge. This sexy and intimate, yet spacious venue is where people come to celebrate, while enjoying the music and ambiance. Illuminated by tranquil hues through a glass paned wall is a black granite bar. On either sides of the bar are large plasma screens. Across from the bar are banquettes filled with throw pillows and surrounding plush sofas.
The stage accommodates different events and shows that occur throughout the week. Each night is an eclectic blend of music as well as people. Some of the music that fills the room are house, funk, soul, hip hop, reggae, pop, and rock.
For those of you that are up for a challenge, grab a cue stick and shoot some pool on the red hot table.
If you are looking for that ideal spot to throw a party or just to kick back and relax, Nightingale Lounge is the place to be.
The JujoMuki Tea Lounge Located in a comfortable, handsome space in the East Village serving enriching teas from around the globe. $5.00 Admission Price may be applied to the purchase of a tea or chai of equal or lesser value.
