The Wire eller No Wave

Making The Wire

The HBO series The Wire, which concluded its fifth and final\nseason this year, is one of the most acclaimed dramatic series in TV\nhistory. David Simon, who created, produced, and wrote many episodes,\nshaped The Wire's, panoramic view of Baltimore--the newspaper,\ndrug trade, port, city government, and schools--has said \"It is really\nabout the American city and how we live together.\"This\nbehind-the-scenes program will include a conversation with David Simon,\nnovelist Richard Price (who wrote five episodes), and cast members Seth\nGilliam (who played Sgt. Ellis Carver), Clark Johnson (city editor Gus\nHaynes), and Amy Ryan (\"Beadie\").

No Wave is the first book to visually chronicle the collision of\nart and punk in the New York underground punk rock, new wave,\nexperimental music of 1976 to 1980. Musicians, writers, and archivists\nThurston Moore and Byron Coley have selected 150 unforgettable images,\nmost of which have never been published and compiled hundreds of hours\nof personal interviews into an oral history for this exploration and\ncelebration of No Wave. \"Moore and Coley wade into the mire that was No\nWave and pull all kinds of order into it, if that could be possible.\nI've never been part of a scene, though if I were I might have opted\nfor this one\" (David Bowie). Moore and Coley will talk about this era\nand share some of this collection with us.
