Florent: the man, the diner, the movie... →
Just caught this on PBS tonight. I only went to Florent a few times (usually after Passerby gigs around 2002), but they were all good times. The documentary does nice job of connecting great, inspirational New York characters at pivotal points in the city’s creative and political history.

According to Ad Age, the merger could help both brands:
BuzzMedia has been increasing its focus on music lately, hiring its first general manager of music in January and buying the electronic music site XLR8R in May. Spin, meanwhile, has been trying to pivot from a primarily print operation to a more digitally focused brand.
