Hooks a Plenty But No Thanks
Went to the site of the late, great Brownies last night. It's a new bar called Hi-Fi and is indie rawk central in NYC. The hook? Well, they have the "world's first" MP3 jukebox. They have almost 2000 CDs ripped onto a big ol' drive. This, as you might imagine, is a deadly combination. Music geeks, alcohol and a seemingly endless selection at the jukebox meant that on a Friday night I couldn't even get close to it. It's not like you can really hear in there anyway. I didn't like the place. It's crawling with wannabe hipsters trying to take in the "new scene." I am, however, paying for the enjoyment I did have today...
