SUMMARY:Book Event: Trash: A Garbage Man's Story - Simon Paré-Poupart in Conversation with Robin Nagle
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Manhattan Solid Waste Advisory Board\, this free event will feature Simon Paré-Poupart\, author of the acclaimed Trash: A Garbage Man’s Story\, in conversation with Robin Nagle\, anthropologist-in-residence at the New York City Department of Sanitation since 2006 and author of Picking Up. \n>>> Space is limited! RSVP HERE\nTrash! has been described as a fascinating\, no-bullshit account of two decades in the waste industry\, offering a vivid portrait of the heroic labor\, anarchic spirit\, and often violent conditions experienced by the people who keep our cities clean. \nSimon Paré-Poupart began working as a garbageman to pay for school. After earning graduate degrees\, he pursued careers in more “respectable” professions\, yet ultimately found himself back on the truck—drawn by the physical intensity of the work\, the camaraderie of his rough-and-tumble colleagues\, and a sense of honesty and freedom that no other job had provided. \nRobin Nagle’s Picking Up is an ethnography of New York City’s Department of Sanitation based on more than a decade of work with the Department\, including time serving as a uniformed sanitation worker. In addition to her role with DSNY\, Nagle is a Clinical Professor of Anthropology and Environmental Studies in New York University’s School of Liberal Studies. She describes her scholarship as part of the emerging interdisciplinary field of discard studies. Learn more about Robin at robinnagle.com. \nThe event promises a lively conversation between two authors who approach waste management from remarkably similar yet distinctly different perspectives. Their discussion will explore not only the realities of sanitation work\, but also the broader cultural\, social\, and human dimensions of the systems that keep our cities functioning every day.

SUMMARY:The FIXX: Colin Blunstone (The voice of the Zombies) and Peter Asher
DESCRIPTION:Multi-platinum rockers The FIXX\, Colin Blunstone (the legendary voice of The Zombies) and Peter Asher (of Peter & Gordon) join forces for a remarkable night of Brit-rock that transcends generations. They’re all coming to Adler Hall at New York Society for Ethical Culture on Thursday\, September 10 at 7:00PM.  Tickets will be available at www.eventbrite.com starting on Friday\, June 26 at 10:00AM. \nOften heralded as one of the most innovative bands to come out of the MTV era\, The FIXX sound is unmistakably unique and stands out among the thousands of artists filling the airwaves. Songs such as “One Thing Leads To Another\,” “Red Skies” and “Saved By Zero” remain everyday staples in television\, films and on radio stations that continue to break new acts inspired by the era that The FIXX helped to define. The FIXX were then\, and still are now: Cy Curnin on vocals\, Rupert Greenall on keyboards\, Jamie West-Oram on guitar\, Adam Woods on drums\, and bassist Dan K. Brown. \nColin Blunstone\, lead singer of The Zombies\, will bring his career-spanning show which features classics from The Zombies\, favourites from his solo releases and collaborations. The world first fell in love with Blunstone’s mysteriously silky voice on the 1960’s singles “She’s Not There\,” “Tell Her No” and “Time of the Season.” The band’s untimely demise in late 1967 led Blunstone into a solo career which began in earnest with the release of the lush and string-laden One Year in 1971. He has released 10 albums of his own over a period spanning more than 50 years. \nWe first came to know him through the Lennon/McCartney-penned global smash “World Without Love” as one half of the British Invasion duo Peter & Gordon. But Peter Asher ultimately became a legend in the entertainment world as an A & R executive for the Beatles’ Apple Records\, and as manager and/or producer of the likes of James Taylor\, Linda Ronstadt\, Carole King\, Joni Mitchell\, Diana Ross\, Cher\, Neil Diamond\, Morrissey\, Roger Waters and so many more. His worked reached incredible heights of both success and creativity\, landing him on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine in the 70s and finally resulting in a trip to Buckingham Palace as he became a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in 2015. \nThis concert is managed and ticketed by Metropolitan Entertainment. \nPurchase Tickets Here
