Mercurious Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Appreciated. And thank you for all of the cool info you posted too- made the whole event more of a shared experience. You're welcome. It was fun. The more I was able to dig up, the more fascinated with the project I became. I hope others found a similar experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightyzep247 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Was the whole building gone or just the store Physical Graffiti? The whole building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ro_a Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 The whole building. over on the sonic youth site they reprint a review of the Merce gig from this thread. a poster said something like "the building's still there, it just doesn't have the faces in the window".. and go on to have a bit of fun mocking the Zep heads (as shoegazers do). I'd have to say this is a "show me the body" thing for me. Hard to believe. Nothing that old gets taken down without a fight. Not in New York City. If there was a fire I never heard of it. Could be this topic could use it's own thread, preferably hosted by someone on the lower east side. Show me the body! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm now intrigued and will take a trip today up to St. Mark's Place to check this out and see what the story is on this- bringing my camera.

ro_a Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Fans of Sonic Youth are "shoegazers"? just barely..Sonic Youth are consistently a little wilder than their peers. shoegazers= fans of my bloody valentine, luminous orange, stereolab,: always looking down at often de-tuned Fender Jazzmaster/Jaguar guitars + sneakers, button down shirt and sweater, record store job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll b pretty bummed if it's gone. I swear to gods as far as I'm concerned that's the most important building in n.y.c! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't notice Joel speaking up for the fans of his other favorite band, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear to gods as far as I'm concerned that's the most important building in n.y.c! Not to worry- the buildings are still there and looking good. I was just there a few hours ago and all is well!

ninelives Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Thanks for making the pilgrimage! Good to see it's still there though I can't imagine the whole building suddenly being knocked down. Surely if it was going to be, there would have been something in the news about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front shot: Angle shot: Physical Graffiti clothing store in basement of 96 St. Mark's Place: That's so awesome! Thanks, man. Looks great. I wonder how much it costs to live there. I'll bet it's like $1850 for a studio, $2000 to be a face in the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamarine Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 That's a relief! I was afraid it had been knocked down before I finally got a chance to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and my dad were driving around looking for it for a while. Next time I go to the city, I'll make sure to go see it.

zosoman11 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Awhile back I saw on VH1 that this same building was used for the Rolling Stones video "Waiting on a Friend". I think there was a time when Keith Richards rented an apartment there and Ron Wood (?) owned a bar there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
