Alessandro Cortini, the former guitarist and keyboardist for Nine Inch Nails, is coming to New York in October. Cortini was the first Italian to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, in 2020. His most recent album, Nati Infiniti will be available on October 4th, after he debuted a performance of it at Berlin’s Atonal Festival. The Knockdown Center, an art and performance space dedicated to cross-disciplinary projects and collaborations, will host Cortini on Friday, October 4th. Tickets to this show are still selling, for about $55 USD. for a General Admission ticket. Cortini has worked with labels like Mute, Hospital, and Important Records amongst the years.

He also had involvement with an American Electronic-Alternative band, Modwheelmood, which was active from 1998-2009.

Expect A Hotter September Than Usual, Say Meteorologists
Us New Yorkers are too smart to be fooled by the “false fall” that hits NYC every August, but it is still nice to get a break from the relentless heat. But don’t get used to it–it’s definitely not sticking around. We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but according to the National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center September is on track to be hotter than usual throughout the state. Looking at a graph provided by the NWS, September is set to bring with it a 50-60% chance of likely above average temperatures to New York. To put things into perspective, average September temperatures in NY are a high of 76° and low of 61°. And don’t worry, it’s not just us New Yorkers getting picked on–the entire East Coast is likely to get hit with warmer than average temperatures. And the entire nation as a whole may see temperatures higher than usual.

V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N Jackie Cox and Jan Sport Make a Splash in Provincetown
Ever since appearing on season 12 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, life for New York City drag queens Jackie Cox and Jan Sport has been a wonderful and wild blur. In fact, their season was a crazy ride—first with the revelation that castmate Sherry Vine had engaged in disgraceful and abusive behavior prior to filming requiring a lickety-split re-edit of the entire season, followed by the onset of the pandemic, which required a virtual finale and then no worldwide tours that usually result from appearing on the pop culture phenomenon. But the duo, who were friends before Drag Race, are as resilient as they are talented, and they took to the road once pandemic restrictions lifted globally, first with a holiday show and then with Gaycation, which is hitting Provincetown this weekend, showcasing the drag pals in a bonkers cabaret that takes the spirit of “Romy and Michelle” and “Barb and Star” in a drag makeover.
