Gerhardt Fuchs, a 34 year-old drummer in bands including !!! and Maserati, fell to his death in a Williamsburg elevator shaft last weekend in a horrifying hoodie-related accident.
Fuchs was reportedly at a party early Sunday morning when the elevator he was in stalled. Newsday reports:
As Fuchs attempted to jump out of the elevator and onto an adjacent floor, the hood of his sweatshirt got caught on a piece of the elevator, causing him to fall five stories to the bottom of the elevator shaft, according to the police report.
Fuchs—who was once in a band with Businessweek media reporter Jon Fine—was a beloved guy in the Williamsburg music scene, and has already inspired eulogies everywhere from Chunklet to the L Magazine to the New York Times.
Besides Williamsburg musicians, the following people in New York wear hoodies: Everybody. Stay safe, everyone.

From the accounts that I’ve read of her performances, Whitney put on two fantastic (and memorable) shows and she looked and sounded great … tho, it’s obvs she still has some kinks to work out of the show.

Last night’s episode of Kell on Earth demonstrated that lack of common sense is actually very common within the fashion/publicity industry, from incompetent interns to Vanity Fair’s George Wayne, who took an “energy crystal” from Kelly… which he then swallowed.Kelly, it turns out, is kind of witchy, in that she believes in “good energy,” burning sage, and crystals. Taking some of the Swarovski crystals from the set of a fashion show she was [...]

I’d say that I keep on falling in and out of love with Alicia Keys, but that would be a lie. I never loved the bitch, it’s just the only thing I think of when I hear her name because that’s pretty much where her career started and finished for me, since I wrote her the fuck off when I realized she was not hot and that her voice was annoying. Sure, I get that she rode Bill Cosby’s leg when she was a kid , forcing him to [...]

One giant leap back in time for NBC.This is what we like to call grasping at straws.Keeping with NBC’s newest mission statement to bring back the old and screw with the new, Paul Reiser from Mad About You fame could be bringing another sitcom to the network. Though the network is calling the show a “big” deal, we don’t take anything they say seriously anymore.But Paul Reiser is a reasonably funny guy. He might bring something worthy to the [...]
