Drawing: Postmodern Jukebox at Troy Music Hall
Drawing's closed!
The pop song cover/re-interpretation act Postmodern Jukebox will be at the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall this Saturday, October 25. The group takes modern pop hits and reinterprets them in other styles, often from previous eras. A few examples: a ragtime version of "Call Me Maybe" and and 1920s jazz take on Iggy Azalea's "Fancy."
We have a pair of tickets to the show and we're giving them away. To you? Maybe!

The egg ... How many different styles could this be done in and still retain its egg-ness.

787 and the whole river front corridor in Albany could definitely use some reinterpretation!

This may be banal, but I would love to see a regional T&LC instead of zones broken up by munis. Imagine (or reimagine) a world where it costs $12 to get from downtown to the rail station and $8 to get to Xgates from the same location disappearing and a metered cab world came into existence. #LongingForUber

Transportation. Be it public, traditional, or rail... :) Better, more sensible roads. Google pods that take us where we need to go. Whatever... Just, no flying cars.
Also, I love their aesthetic. =D

The river front area in Albany, and most of downtown. We're seeing Troy revitalize it's entire downtown area but yet Albany still has yet to do anything different. So many storefronts are empty but it's easy to see how beautiful it could be.

State Capitol building in a modern interpretation. Lots of glass but while still maintaining it's renaissance revival style would make it look like a ice palace.

The laws being passed around inside the NYS Dept of Education building.. enough with the testing! Aside from the business talk.. people should reinterpret the use of the word "smAllbany" into something more positive because I love it here : )

I would love to see the crosswalk system on Central Ave re-imagined! I don't have to walk across the road very often but when I do I can see why people get hit.

While convenient, every time I drive 787 I think to myself that the space could be SO much more than a highway.
Also this band looks amazing.

How the local LGBT(etc) community organizes itself...it's so fragmented, un-unified, and cliquey...which I suppose is how things go...but it'd be nice to see some unitiy on most issues instead of just one or two.
