Hello!! I hope everyone had a marvelous week! I relaxed with the fam this weekend, where my Dad now resides in Riverdale, in the Bronx. Riverdale is a very mellow homey area, very Irish and Jewish- and filled with elderly people and families. Needless to say when I went on an olives/breadcrumb run for my Dad ( who is quite the cook) upon leaving Key Food I nearly pissed my self laughing to see:
“Bling Teeth” Collect All 10 Grills!! ( I snapped this photo with my iphone) Is this kid scary looking or what?? Bling Teeth- a quarter toy??? This is soooo random for Riverdale, it has to be one of the oddest things I’ve come across in a while!! So I had to share.
Anyways I am also very excited to share with you one of my absolute favorite artists out there, Florence and the Machine’s new video “Dog Days” directed by Tom Beard. I’ve been following Florence for a while now, corresponding with her a bit via myspace ( we both eat our spinach )- this girl is poised for stardom- for her sheer undeniable raw talent. I think she just got signed to Island, but I’m not sure- you’ll be hearing about her in a big way soon either way. She’s getting over 8,000 listens a day on her myspace and just came off tour with MGMT and opened for Chuck Berry this summer. I don’t know if the world is ready for Flo- but ready or not here she comes!
I was lucky enough to be present at her SXSW performance last March-it was my #1 pick of the week- and BBC and NME felt the same! She jumped into a waterfall pool in the middle of her set then hid under the stage- classic.

Keep up with her at: www.myspace.com/florenceandthemachinemusic
Last but not least-come one come all!! I have a very special show this Wednesday night with my full 7 piece band, plus special guest Crosby- at the lovely Prohibition. I hope to see you there!!
Much love!!! check out www.mizmetro.com to stay updated on all things Metro!
