 Metromix. Review: NoMI   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Open only a month, NoMI is already one of Chicago's best restaurants with a view, and it has the potential to become one of the very best restaurants in Chicago, period.
NoMI (the goofy name and spelling are a contraction of North Michigan Avenue) is nominally French and has a French chef in 30-year-old Sandro Gamba, recently purloined from L'Espinasse in Washington, D.C. But "French" hardly suffices for a menu that includes Thai shellfish soup, satays and sushi.
Dress at NoMI is relaxed, perhaps overly so; one weekend evening, the table adjacent to ours was occupied by a single diner in baggy shorts, sandals and an untucked T-shirt (accessorized, of course, with a cell phone).

Although the meeting between her and her ex-lover was rather awkward, Nomi realized, after discovering the statues Ulic had carved, that he was finally beginning to find peace; however, Sylvar was far from peace.

 Serendipity Media » Blog Archive » Review: Nomi’s “Lost in Lust”
Starting with the misleading, unaffecting intro, Nomi quickly slides into “Streets of Brooklyn,” a catchy, bold calling card, incorporating string drenched backing and sensuous, breathy vocals to drag the listener into the melodramatic world she hangs the album on.
Unfortunately, due to the underground, independent nature of Nomi’s work, these types of songs are destined to be covered by higher profile, far less interesting artists, ie, Pussycat Dolls’ bland, lifeless cover of Tori Alamaze’s far superior “Don’t Cha?” And there, unfortunately, lies the downfall of the independent artist; unfettered vision with no exposure.
Nomi infuses her street poetics with sermons on the pursuit and inherent pain of love and unfettered lust.

 WZBC: The Nomi Song
The Nomi Song is a lovingly compiled documentary on the gay new wave opera singer, Klaus Nomi, and it's playing locally at The Brattle Theatre in Cambridge, MA.
Plugging into the new wave and punk era where the talentless reigned supreme, Klaus Nomi, who was in fact a talented and trained singer from Germany, came to NYC in the 70s and created a hybrid mix of new wave music and operatic singing dressed as an alien from outer space.
The Nomi Song does wonders of showing how brutal the music industry could be on the creative talents it eats up and spits out, as Klaus had to travel to France (where he was hailed as a cross between Maria Callas and Elvis Presley), in order to even get a record deal.

The Nomi Song was one of my very favorite docs from last year (at least I saw it last year) - I continue to find Klaus and the whole scene at the time very interesting.
And if you liked "The Nomi Song" be sure to pick up "The Legend of Leigh Bowery." Same kind of guy, same crazy costumes, same sad, untimely end.
because, of course, Klaus Nomi was as representative of gay culture as Parliament-Funkadelic was of African-American culture.

 THE NOMI SONG - DVD
As Andrew Horn's documentary The Nomi Song points out, he was a professional among amateurs, a trained opera singer who put his then-unmarketable falsetto skills to use by crashing the goofy East Village art scene and becoming the very fusion of pop and high art that was only half-seriously proposed by its core scenesters.
Despite a few intimations of his rock-hating German parentage, Nomi (formerly Klaus Sperber) remains a pop-art creation with connections to the real world that are sketchy at best--a mysterious approach that the star himself encouraged by shunning interviewers and letting his work do the talking.
But Horn is as in-awe of Nomi's legacy as the interview subjects (who remain loyal to Nomi despite his shabby treatment of them), and the film is genuinely moving in detailing Nomi's succumbing to AIDS, during which time virtually everyone he knew avoided him out of fear and denial.

Klaus Nomi was literally in a league of his own creatively in the music world of the 80s.

He succeeds in delivering a film hovering between fiction and documentary, respecting the original character, Klaus Nomi, all along, while offering a personal perspective on the man and his era.
Because he interviews actual witnesses of the time, the result is a realistic and phantasmagoria dive into the life and death of a charismatic individual with the destiny of a shooting star.
