"If somebody asked me at the time of this release 'What's it's like on the streets of New York?' I would just put on this Mobb Deep album and tell them to listen to it in its entirety. This album is Queens and it's representative of a whole part of New York City. There's a lot of anger in here – parts of it make you want to punch somebody in the face – but there's also a lot of classic club bangers in there too that just rock. It's a record of opposites and they were really a band all about opposites and differences. They were probably one of the last really different bands of that era who were just great. They always played such banging music."

Albany, New York, January 1879; two young girls go missing during a deadly blizzard and are only found weeks later, when the city is amid a devastating flood. This new novel by Robin Oliveira follows some of the same characters from her 2010 best-selling novel, “My Name in Mary Sutter” but if you haven’t read that, don’t let that stop you from reading this book. Find out why in my latest #bookreview of “Winter Sisters” on my blog here.

Brian Raferty recommended The American Friend (1977) in Movies (curated)

"A fantastic adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s captivating Ripley books, with the action shifting to New York City and Hamburg (both filmed beautifully by Repo Man’s Robby Müller). Come for the seventies-noir setting, the art-world intrigue, the cameos from the likes of Nicholas Ray; stay for the entertaining Wenders interviews on the Criterion edition, in which he regales us with how he managed to tame both Dennis Hopper and the late, great Bruno Ganz."
