Slideshow: No Place Like Home: Catherine Kim
- story THE FADER
It’s said that one million people have left New York City since the economic meltdown of last fall, a mind-boggling and sadly awe-inspiring moment in the city’s constant flux. For the fashion story in our current issue, we followed eight New Yorkers—some brand new and others who’ve made the city their home for a lifetime. In the first installment of this slideshow series, first generation American and Brooklyn resident Catherine Kim tells her transplant story.
Dress By Hugo.

Live: DJ/Rupture, Maluca, Matt Shadetek & Jahdan Blakkamoore, Sonido Martines at One Step Beyond
- story THE FADER
Though lacking a cameo from Jason Voorhees, every DJ killed it (wokka wokka) at our One Step Beyond series this past Friday the 13th. FADER friends DJ/Rupture, Matt Shadetek and Jahdan Blakkamoore, Maluca and Sonido Martines took turns hijacking the makeshift dance floor at the planetarium. Whether you were way up front or sneaking into the Mammals of North America exhibit, Sonido Martines’ twisted cumbia was inescapable and Maluca’s insane party starting helped more than a few audience members get real loose. By the time Shadetek and Blakkamoore took the stage, half the audience were trading dance moves under space lights. The other half wandered the museum’s halls, indulging their grade school selves by finding out who weighed 69 pounds on Mars as DJ/Rupture closed out the night.

Open Bar With Vashti Bunyan
- story THE FADER
Vashti Bunyan released “Train Song” in 1966, her tiny voice and calm guitar squirreling permanently inside the hearts and heads of many who missed her for the next 30 years as she stopped recording and performing. Many young folks are familiar with her because of her renaissance the past decade, playing with Animal Collective and Devendra Banhart, her first album’s reissue and her second, many years overdue released on Fat Cat. Recently Kieran Evans made Vashti Bunyan: From Here to Before, a documentary about Bunyan and they came to New York a few weeks ago to screen the film. We got the still long-haired and whisper-voiced Bunyan to come by Heathers to record two tracks, the above “Train Song” and the below “Wayward,” both with the assistance of Gareth Dickson. Sitting in a quiet room with Bunyan singing was a lucky moment, and we hope this is the next best thing. Catch From Here to Before and try to see Bunyan in as hushed a place as possible.

The Let Out: Light Jams for Dark Times
- story THE FADER

Tune in to get happy, and as always listen live to the Let Out this and every Friday from 6-8 pm on East Village Radio, but specifically listen to this one.
Interview: Danny Wang at PS1
- story THE FADER
Daniel Wang is animated. In the figurative sense, but he could be in the literal, too, floppy hair, head bop and bubbly demeanor. He would fit in perfect on Sesame Street, big eyes when he tells excited muppets about the wavy path of disco. It’s a path well traveled, very notably with his classic, “Like Some Dream” and with his sing and dance along DJ sets. Just before he stood atop speakers at this summer’s PS1 outdoor disco event for happy folks in linen yearning for happiness, Wang sat with us and talked about the current state of music and what it’s like to DJ in the city where much of the music he loves originated. Wang just now has a collection of his singles released, a fairly enormous history of your favorite DJs favorite DJ. Dude is a living legend.
