BLACK LABEL is here – they know MAYA. They thought she wanted musicians, but turned out she only wanted unamplified ones. Not really her fault – there was no electrical hook-up in the containers.

ANDREW SMITH – visiting from the U.K. – here in town doing research for a book on the early dot.com visionaries – his favorite ? – our hometown boy, himself – JOSH HARRIS !!! . . . of PSEUDO & JUPITER fame !! Andrew landed in NYC – after recently spending 2 weeks with Josh – in Ethiopia – where he says Josh is living on in his own compound – with 3 household employees, including his very own cook ..
In his book, ‘MOONDUST: IN SEARCH OF THE MEN WHO FELL TO EARTH’ (2005) – ANDREW SMITH – interviews the last remaining 9 (of 12) American astronauts – who actually went beyond the earth’s orbit – and literally touched base – with the moon (1969-1972). ASTRONAUTS WHO TOUCHED THE MOON – to – THE NEW YORK CITY HARD-CORE ART SCENE – JOSH HARRIS & CREW – no big leap, there !!! just joking. maybe NOT !!!
Andrew said Josh was “one of the most fascinating people – he had ever met – and he’s .. meet quite a few” – as he put it. moon-landing astronauts included.
