For those who have not seen Downtown 81, you should. Even if it only be to see how much New York has changed in 20 + years. Re-releasing today is the soundtrack to the film, featuring some obscure groups from the downtown ny scene of the early 80's. Most notably the band Gray, which consisted of Jean-Michel Basquiat and indie film star Vincent Gallo. Style.com's blog has a nice interview with the man behind the film, Glenn O'Brien.
