Elites TV: Johnny Postal Tidbits

"In Johnny Postal, set in an Asbury Park, NJ trailer park, (Dave) Mason's guitar on the song is heard as the film opens. Later, he appears as 'Mr. Tedesco' in the dark yet redemptive romantic comedy. Mason - and Debbie Harry, one of the film's stars - will also create additional music for the soundtrack."

Metro Canada: Debbie Harry gives back

"'It's sort of more directly me, lyrically and musically,' she says. 'Usually with the Blondie records the guys who wrote the tunes would come in with their tracks and if they didn't have a lyric for it, I would come in with a lyric for it. And because I was writing with a group sensibility, I would make things a little bit more general in some ways. But I think the songs on this album are a little bit more specific for me. But I tried to make it entertaining, and I tried to make it, you know, just a good pop rock album.'"

Review: Rosie joins Cyndi Lauper on True Colors Tour

"Deborah Harry took the opposite approach, unveiling songs from her forthcoming 'Necessary Evil' (Eleven Seven) album, including the promising single 'Two Times Blue' and the strutting rocker 'You're Too Hot.' It's a risky thing rolling out new material to an audience that isn't necessarily there to see you, but Harry and her band made it work."

Hawthorne's Debbie Harry continues to record and wow audiences

"'I think it just sort of grew of its own,' she says. 'I worked on it slowly. I had no intention of really putting out an album, but I met these nice producers and really enjoyed working with them, and we starting recording and writing songs together. Eventually, I had this body of work. It was very relaxed, actually.'"

Unreleased Shots Of Debbie, Justin Bond, More By Rob Roth Up For Auction

Our friend, (photographer, video artist, director, and performer) Rob Roth, has participated in MIX NYC's 2nd Annual Naked Eye Camera Benefit, where creative folk from all walks of art personally fill a unique, unprocessed disposable camera with images from their day-to-day lives.

The camera package is up for auction at eBay. Included in the package is one unprocessed disposable Fuji camera (27 exposures), one photocopy of the participant's signed release form (for legal purposes) and one autographed note written by Rob:

"I created a persona out of a hand puppet named 'Monkeysex'. I kept Monkeysex with me throughout the month and took snapshots with the puppet representing me. Snapshots with friends like Debbie Harry and Justin Bond, at events as varied as Badass Burlesque in NYC and the Radical Faerie Gathering in Tennessee with other 'private' moments in between."

MIX NYC is a 20-year-old 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose board members board & staff are volunteers. Their signature event, the New York Lesbian & Gay Experimental Film Festival, will take place in November 2007. In 2006 they launched a free summer media-training program for disadvantaged queer youth, and a film preservation program to save essential queer films from being lost to future generations. Throughout the year they host free community screenings in greater New York City. MIX also produces the ACT UP Oral History Project (www.actuporalhistory.org), which is documenting the history of AIDS activism.

100% of the final sale price will support MIX NYC.
