Freemans Sporting Club
Mon.1.16.06
Everyone's favorite "hidden gem" of a restaurant Freeman's has cunningly expanded into a showroom/game room/bespoke tailor's space upstairs and around the corner on Chrystie. Named Freeman's Sporting Club, the space is designed in the old-world vein of the restaurant with a vintage pool table, and designer Taavo Somer creating "made-to-measure" suits of British wool.
The opening event felt more like a housewarming party than publicity event, as we sipped bourbon, stroked stuffed squirrels, browsed t-shirts racks, and ate several handfuls of oily Italian cold-cuts in the rustic-chic loft. Photos after jump.

Silhouette Brown | Soundtrack for Month of L_O_V_E
So glad to get my next fix of future soul/broken beat with Dego and Kaidi's new release. And this shit's so good, my eyes roll back sometimes when I'm really feelin' it. So moved that I've been pondering getting a bigger space to make room for a Rhodes keyboard myself.
I could go on and on about each track but the bottom line is that this album is much needed: thoughtful lyrics, sick beats, and, of course, those slinky keys. This is a true album that gets played straight through and replayed. Now if only I could get some funkier remixes.
