Land of Confusion Genesis

Greetings, bed-hoppers, and welcome to another edition of Manor Music Monday - today in a laidback, after-bang mode, if'n you know what I mean. And I know you do. For such times, when blasting 80s hair metal just won't do, you need the stylings of a lass whose singing is both skilled and chill like a lotus. Intrigued? Be sure to come to the Manor's "Crossing Swords" lounge at around 4am (or before closing at sunrise).  That 's when DJ Li'l Scratch will be playing tunes performed by a riddle wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a sphinx. Yes, it's another Mystery Lady™. Or yet another jazz songbird who recorded only one LP, then - poof! - vanished into oblivion. Unsurprising, since her LP dropped in the late-1950s during the inexorable rise of rock 'n' roll, which decimated the jazz songbird market. In the case of Easy Williams - what a name! - it's a shame, because her slinky-gal vocals are smooth, intimate and a lot of fun - and well suited to...

Jenny From The Block™ recently filmed a segment for SubwayTakes with Kareem Rahma, and shared her personal take that you have to be from the five boroughs in order to claim official New Yorker status. Rahma pressed the popstar further by asking if you can claim New Yorker status after living there for 50 years, but JLo stuck to her guns and said no! She is a New Yorker purist and no imports are permitted, no matter how long they've lived in the Big Apple. Just don't try out her bodega order , lest you be met with a blank stare.

There's this new one out called "2001: A Space Odyssey" and everyone says it's great but the commercials look weird. How about "The Graduate?" I don't know what it's about but they say the soundtrack is killer! Yeah, I know, tickets are expensive (who's got 2 whole dollars to throw away?) so maybe we can watch some TV? " The Beverly Hillbillies" are on tonight, or maybe "The Mod Squad"  with that DREAMY Clarence Williams III.  Oh shoot, turn it up, I love this song! This post is inspired by that pic up top. Haven't seen that Grand Prix (I always pronounce it as "pricks") in several years, but whenever I used to pass it, it always looked like it was rakishly winking at the whole neighborhood, and as far as I'm concerned, that's a good thing. So let's rakishly wink and chat and listen to music and watch stuff. After all, it's Open Post, darlings! Photo Credit: AK, Getty Images

Eight miles away, authorities noticed several other individuals entering a manhole at 1am on Friday and later emerging around 4am.  The New York City Department of Environmental Protection are advising the public that entering the city's sewer system is both illegal and dangerous. Risks include flooding, noxious gases, and unstable surfaces.  Police are investigating whether the two separate instances are connected. What do you think is drawing people into the sewers, Peckers? Must be one hell of a rave down there! Source: KDVR
