Pop Spots

Found this through NME, Pop Culture Detective Bob Egan finds the original locales where album covers were shot. 

His website is fascinating and worth bookmarking - http://www.popspotsnyc.com/



I am reminded me of when I was recently in NYC, spending an afternoon with my friends Mattie and Joe.  At some point in our travels, Joe points down a street and says, "That is the building that was shot for the cover of Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti.  And Keith Richards used to own an apartment there and the video for "Waiting On A Friend" is shot on the stoop and the bar at the corner."

I had such a great time that day that I think Mattie and Joe could easily rent themselves out as tour guides.  They also saved some tourists from Nebraska from making a critical misstep. Mattie and Joe quickly intervened as they were in mid-attempt to open the door to the headquarters of the Hell's Angels as if it was a just some Sons of Anarchy themed restaurant where unannounced visits from looky-loos was welcomed and encouraged.



Is should be pretty self-evident, but yeah - don't knock on this door.  Just don't.

 
Looks super inviting, doesn't it?
