After leaving the excellent, free Midlake/New Pornos show at Battery Park yesterday (post tk), we discovered something rather awesome: East Village apartments have outstanding views of the East River fireworks! And after watching Animal Collective's first vid from Strawberry Jam, we discovered something else: the East River's thirty-minute fireworks featured considerably less face-melting and sparkly, silhouetted Pandas, Aveys, Deakins and Geologists than does Animal Collective's seven-minute "Fireworks." It's always a little more fun in the movies.
