Read More
The First Annual Freedom Festival is a totally free and completely independent music festival (in other words, totally the type of thing FreeNYC loves to tell you about)! Performances will all take place at Cakeshop and The Living Room on the LES. Bands on the line up so far are Earl Greyhound, Vague Angels, Pyradical, Rockwell Rockwellian, The Exit, La Vernissagerie and Honky Tonk Happy Hour, and the world premier of Larune’s rock opera “Bulgaria." The goal of the festival is to "promote a sense of community by offering an eclectic line-up of FREE, live musical experiences to the public" and also to launch ThePeriodicLabel.com, a free music download site to hopefully "encourage artists to find newer and more relevant ways to promote/sell their work and engage their audiences." Continue to check FreeNYC for updates and Freedom Festival on MySpace for lineup and show times.

No other writer can match the impressive oeuvre of Joyce Carol Oates, and High Lonesome: Selected Stories, 1966-2006 gathers stories from Oates's seminal collections, including The Wheel of Love (1970), Marriages and Infidelities (1972), and Heat (1991), arranged by decade. All demonstrate what the Chicago Tribune has praised: "the fierce originality of Oates's voice and vision, but also how she has imbued the American short story with an edgy vitality and raw social surfaces."
