Grilling Octopi in a Flooded New York
[Image: A flood strikes Manhattan; image via New York magazine]/.
Jace Clayton, aka DJ /rupture, who is interviewed in The BLDGBLOG Book, has a new album out with Matt Shadetekâand he’s suddenly everywhere. The newest issue of New York magazine, for instance, has a short feature in which Rupture describes their new album; called Solar Life Raft, it comes with its own architectural premise. The mix “paints a picture,” we read, “of New York 40 years in the future, where the water line is at the fourth story of buildings and the rich people are dry in the Catskills. Kids are making music on their cell phones and grilling octopi. So, itâs postapocalyptic, but not necessarily grim.” Flavorwire has also just run a list of /rupture’s favorite pairings: cities twinned with music.
And on Friday, November 13, from 9pm to 1am, the album will be premiered at no less a site than the planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History; BLDGBLOG and Edible Geography will both be there, and there are still a few tickets left. Attendees apparently get a free show at the planetarium! Hope to see some of you there.

Born into a family of musicians, sixty-six year old Naomi Shelton grew up singing gospel with her sisters at churches throughout Alabama. Eventually, she moved to New York, where she spent most of her life performing soul music in Brooklyn nightclubs. Now, more than forty years since her arrival in New York, Naomi has released her first full length album, “What Have you Done, My Brother?” with her band, Naomi Shelton and the Gospel Queens. Produced and musically directed by Cliff Driver, with former James Brown bassist Fred Thomas and powerful vocals by Edna Johnson, Cynthia Langston and Bobbie Jean Gant, the album is a testament to Naomi’s deep roots in gospel and soul.
We sat down with Naomi to ask her a few questions about her band’s new album and what motivates her as a performer.
You must be so excited about your new album. I know you’ve been doing this a long time and this is your first album. How does it compare to what you’ve done in the past? How does it feel to finally release it?
Well, we had two CD’s before this, but this is the first on this record label [Daptone Records]. It was a dream I had years ago — and I knew I was going to make it. But, all these years went by before [we made it] because it just wasn’t the time. I had to wait for my time.
You and the legendary pianist Cliff Driver collaborated on this album, but have been performing together for a long time, if I’m not mistaken. How did that relationship come about?
I was the house singer at The Night Cap in Brooklyn, and whatever band came in to play would back me up. So Driver came in one day, and that’s how we connected. Then we ran into each other a few years later. He was inspired by my voice and we started rehearsing together and he got my voice together, helped me project, and we got a few gigs. We separated a few times but always stayed in touch.
Your music is deeply rooted in both gospel and soul. Who and what inspires you? Anyone in particular?
Sam Cooke, The Blind Boys of Alabama. I didn’t really have a lot of other people I knew when I was coming up. Those were the majors. Aretha Franklin, the original Davis Sisters.

PriceSpotter is Curbed’s asking price guessing game. We provide you with some details and pictures from a listing, and you take a crack at the price in the comments. And hey, cheaters never win, and winners never cheat!
We’re back at 255 Berry St, #317, a two-story, 2-bed and 2.5 bath condo on the north shore of Mission Creek. Offering views of San Francisco’s charming (or putrid, depending on the nose of the beholder) houseboats, plus proximity to the ballpark and various pharmaceutical companies, 255 Berry St. will be reviled for becoming the bland new face of the city, yet thanked for filling in a decrepit dirt lot. Once again, our sage guessers may be a bit ahead of the curve— you all seem to be saying, “Economically stimulate us,” with an average guess of $989k. The winner, though, was Sparky, with a guess of $1.195 mil. Actual asking price? $1,288,000, a difference of almost a hundred grand. Ripe for a price chop? Yes. Oh, yes.
