DW Gibson discusses his new book on gentrification with author Mark Binelli “It’s funny because I remember growing up in Bushwick, six blocks from here. I was a nerd, and people would say, ‘Where you from?’ I had to drop it in a certain way: ‘Yo, I grew up in Bushwick.” People would be all, […]

It turns out that NYC Porn Festival, to be held this weekend in the very liberal Bushwick will gain some controversy after all. And we’re not talking about Miley Cyrus submitting and subsequently withdrawing from her short and very soft bondage film. A group […]

The snow on Bushwick streets hasn’t started to melt, yet a subtle reminder of spring is already in the air

Winter is just around the corner! And while we’re all excited for holiday parties, shopping on Knickerbocker Avenue and the best seasonal drinks, Bushwick pests are excited escape the cold and become your new roomie

If you were looking for a theme, you won’t find one here. This weekend’s art openings are all over the place, and the artists come from all over too. Microscope’s Allison Somers is in town from Paris, Fine & Raw showcases Berlin-based artist Jerry Kowalsky and Outlet brings us Cristin Richard in from Detroit. Some artists take on loss, desire, accident, intent, others […]

It’s October! It’s creepy! It’s great! Especially because October is that magical month when the sun is shining, the air is crisp, and all you need is a sweater and pair of boots to feel comfortable

If you’re like us and you loooooove music festivals, you may be quietly shedding tears over the (impending) arrival of fall and the end of festival season

Let’s hang, shall we?

“Stepping back from my finished canvases is like looking into a magnified mirror. Fragments of my identity emerge to create a visual narrative heavy with cultural idiosyncrasies, sexuality and a yearning for opulence and magic” Martin explains.The multi-faceted works’ biggest strength comes in their ability to be read in multiple ways and reflect back on […]

Now that Earth Day is here, and NYC has finally sprung into full Spring mode, let us rejoice by putting on a floral ensemble or cut off jeans to hit up the outdoors for some much needed sunshine

Now that spring has finally sprung, and there has not been a snow sighting in weeks (keep your fingers crossed), it’s time to celebrate this remarkable occasion of fresh sunshine air with crop tops, cut offs and of course, a weekend packed with a diverse line-up of art events

This week with Allison Galgiani, art editor of Bushwick Daily

Well, looks like even Madonna moving into the neighborhood can’t even make the Bushwick trains run normal – and if The Madgesty can’t then who can? (If you don’t know I am kidding than you are a bit late to the game. Kidding about Madonna that is, not the trains. They unfortunately still suck). And not […]

So here is to warmweather and frustrating mass transit! Happy riding! Ahh the first day of Spring was yesterday – warmer temperatures, clearer skies and :record scratch: more train interruptions and service changes. I guess we can’t win them all. The only good part is that since the weather has become more ideal (I am […]

We Know Memes_Phone Calls_Dr. Lisa Call me old-fashioned or simply old, but I have recently learned the phone can be an important tool to getting your needs met in life. However, it takes balls to use the phone for its actual purpose of making a call; the phone makes us often feel vulnerable and needy. […]

[contextly_auto_sidebar id=”w994BMLQTU4nxoPoogZCne2AA3r8riFq”] Looks like the L train (and M…and J) want to take part in Flashback Friday and revisit old service interruptions. It has gotten to the point where service changes are nothing out of the ordinary and instead of crossing my fingers that the Bushwick trains will be running smoothly each week/weekend I have […]

[contextly_auto_sidebar id=”m7fNaWfhAy4pUvODAXpcLHNkfayzNZB4″>

Remember last week when the M train decided to end its service early between Myrtle Av and 71 Av? Or how last week (in the middle of the day) the L decided to really take its time and run only every 24 minutes between Broadway Junction and Rockaway Pkwy? Well, I hope you familiarized yourself […]

Art today is so much about the process over the product

Ah, Bushwick in the Polar Vortex – where jumping giant slush puddles and fearing frostbite is the norm

This week’s Friday First features an exclusive track from the New Zealand-based noise/drone/pop duo of Antony Milton and Clayton Noone, aka Claypipe. Drone and Pop aren’t two genres we normally see listed next to each other, but listening  further into A Daylight Blessing, which will be released on March 3rd on MIE Records, you’ll hear why. Friday First is […]

I think the only thing that makes me more aggravated than technology (don’t get me started on the jammed “lock” button on my cellphone) may be the MTA subway–I am especially looking at you L and M (J train wins “Train of the Year” by default because it consistently actually shows up

Whatever it is that you’ve been staring at– the gray slush, an excel spreadsheet, your cat, a brick wall–we recommend you take a break from it this weekend and get something beautiful before your eyes
