Jack Albin Hotel Pennsylvania Music - Hurt, 1930
Jack Albin & His Hotel Pennsylvania Music - Hurt, Crown 1930
Hotel Pennsylvania Music was the Jack Albin Orchestra which had a long term engagement at New York City’s Hotel Pennsylvania during the early 1930s. Their vocalist was very often Bill Coty. Later in the decade, the hotel’s phone number would be immortalized in song by another resident band, the Glenn Miller Orchestra with its hit “Pennsylvania 6-5000.” It remains the same to this day! In 1930’s/40’s one of the most popular nightclubs in New York was Café Rouge at the Hotel. It was home to the Big Bands at their height. Happily, the Hotel Pennsylvania still stands and operates as a hotel - though its once grand lobby suffers from a rather tacky “modernization.”

(COPE2 South Bronx, New York) is a graffiti artist from the South Bronx. Though he is known worldwide, he did not receive a lot attention in the graffiti world until the 1990s. He has been painting since 1981, and has gained international credit for his work. He and his crew “Kings Destroy” (formerly “Kids Destroy,” or simply KD) are the main focus of the influential graffiti movie “Kings Destroy”. Cope2 has been one of the main targets of the New York City Vandal Squad and has been arrested for vandalism, theft and drug charges. The arrest followed his recent success in releasing a 272 page book of his work titled “Cope 2: True Legend” Cope2 started writing graffiti around 1980, his cousin Chico 80 introduced Cope into writing and it ran in the family. He made his own crew called Kids Destroy and eventually it changed to Kings Destroy after he was the king of the 4 line.
Some of Cope2’s initial commercial artwork has been sold on the Christie’s auction block for $1,000(USD) per painting. Early work includes cover art for a Boogie Down Productions album titled “Sex and Violence.”

More recently Cope2 has appeared in Marc Ecko’s 2006 video game, Marc Ecko’s Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure. As one of the “graffiti legends”, your character takes a photograph of Cope2’s work, shortly before Cope2 himself arrives and teaches your character how to write throwups on trains. Before the release of the game, Cope2 called a local Councilman, Peter Vallone Jr., to complain about the shutting down of a publicity event for the title. The event, coordinated by Mark Ecko, called for the spray painting of vintage train cars during a block party celebrating Graffiti and Hiphop culture. Vallone is noted as saying he was responsible for having the permit pulled for the event. Vallone is quoted as calling Cope2 a “punk.” It is said this confrontation sparked the interest of Time Magazine in the artist. The event permit was later reissued as judge Jed S. Rakoff of the Federal District Court in Manhattan over turned the previous ruling on grounds of freedom of speech.
Time Magazine commissioned Cope2, for $20,000(USD), to paint a billboard ad in the SoHo district of Manhattan, New York on Houston and Wooster. The ad depicts the magazines cover with graffiti tags scrawled over it, the text reads “Post-Modernism? Neo-Expressionism? Just Vandalism? Time. Know why”
Cope2 has designed a pair of sneakers for Converse under the “Chuck Taylor All-Stars” line his throw up recently appeared on a wall in the movie “Shrek The Third”. Cope2 is one of the most known users of WILDSTYLE and is also known for his bubble letters.
