In the land of three-bite tasting dishes, this little cave-cum-stylized hallway on Avenue A is queen: vaguely Italian, established by the two founders of Roberta's in Bushwick and its dearly departed backyard cousin Blanca, and the perfect pre-show haunt for anyone headed to Bowery Ballroom for a night of slummin-it musical adventure.

The man responsible for dozens of Teenage Symphonies to God
"Sad songs about happy things" (the first time, as a kid, I can recall the sweet/sour combo of melodies that could make you cry attached to songs about endless, bottomless love)
I've long since lost track of how many weddings and funerals I've attended that have featured this song; suffice it to say, "a lot."

Hey tyler hopefully this doesnโt violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s.
Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha).
For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I canโt wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! โค๏ธ
