Beast of 'Unburden'
Another Halloween-ish music video... this is Mode Moderne with "Unburden Yourself."

Honest Chops Butchery has left 9th Street
Photos by Stacie Joy
Honest Chops, billed as "the first organic and humane halal butcher shop in New York City," has moved out of its basement location at 319 E. Ninth St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue.
According to a tipster, the 10-year lease was up (the shop opened in March 2014) ... and they are looking for a new storefront. (H/T MP!) They will be reopening, though they don't have space just yet. People can email them to keep updated.
Workers yesterday were moving out some of the shop's fixtures ...
Burgers By Honest Chops closed on MacDougal Street in May 2022. Ownership said in a Facebook post "that prices were going up substantially" via their suppliers, and they didn't want to pass on the increase to patrons.
