In a city where everyone has a housing horror story, Preston Pujol’s tale of woe, reported by Annette Konoske Graf in the Brooklyn Ink last week, is still a knockout

Not too long ago DNAinfo praised Bushwick for its bookshop greatness, even going so far as to call Bushwick a literary mecca (ooh lala, well thank you!)

We gotta hand it to you, Bushwick – when it comes to your Craigslist presence, you definitely do not disappoint

This past Saturday and for the fourth year running, the Bushwick Block Party took over Morgantown’s Moore Street for a free afternoon and evening of music, skateboarding, dancing, food trucks, drinking and other sweaty fun

When someone tells you they live in East Williamsburg or Bushwick there’s a good chance you picture them livin’ it up in a loft

A couple of weeks ago a remarkable photography exhibition by Petros Chrisostomou opened at Fuchs Projects

It has been a week since Hurricane Sandy hit New York City

While many of the neighborhoods in the tri-state area have been devastated by the ravages of hurricane Sandy, Bushwick was “miraculously” spared any serious damage

BushwickDaily.com presents “jojo‘s Mixtape- Sounds of Reggae: Past and Present” Happy 420 folks! These selections range from roots-reggae to dancehall to hip-hop, with a quick track from the 1940’s at the beginning.  The upbeat-rocking fundamental to reggae music is a well-suited template for meditation and medication, sometimes driving, sometimes laid-back.  The use of effects and […]

jojo‘s Mixtape- Drum Along! This week’s mix contains African tracks, selected for their captivating groove and rhythm elements.  I drum along to these tracks to practice djembe, sing along, and dance around.  The key ingredient is the pulsing repetition that draws us to move or express, the patterns we hear that repeat and invite us […]

jojo‘s Mixtape- SPRING CLEANING MIX Spring is a great time to reflect and feel motivated to move forward. This week’s mix of soulful house and love tracks will keep the Spring vibes flowing. We got rid of lots of clothes too, which is like shedding skin.  Dusted every inch of the place.  Dogs are shedding their […]

jojo’s Mixtape- NYC Block Party Ingredients: Brooklyn, a dash of Jersey, Yonkers, and Queens. This week’s mix is a set of raw and dirty hip-hop from late 90’s to early 2000’s. These tracks are anthems in and around New York, and are best served with the windows open and the volume UP.  Some make me […]

  This week’s mix takes me back to going record shopping for gigs, looking for new tracks to weave into an upcoming event.  Now, most record stores have closed, and buying music is done right from your laptop.  I used to drive into Manhattan on Friday nights, Sunday afternoons, and any other time there was […]

Happy Martin Luther King Day, everyone!

Good morning, Bushwick!

Well… right here, from the top of the page, I should probably warn every lost soul surfing the internets instead of panicking somewhere on Meserole Street in loads of snow due the increasing celebration insanity… I am listening to nostalgic, smootchi, fuzzy, my-puppy-got-lost type of music

Photos by Robin Grearson. I hope you spent the snowed in time in Bushwick with good people.

Dear Santa… You know that feeling when you have so much to say about something, you really can’t decide what to say first and you get stuck? Hmm… You’re saying you don’t know that feeling because you’re a great multitasker thanks to all the practice with the rain deer navigation and all the presents you […]

I promised to post these kids from high school on Meserole St.

Stay warm, people!

Good morning, Bushwick fellas. I am reporting from the warmth and coziness of my favorite coffee shop. I hope you are on the same vibe, enjoying this rainy day and all you need is a good read. Turn on your Christmas lights, get yourself a nice mug of cofee and browse through this awesome online […]

I’m breathing water, I’m taking deep breaths, and it’s all because I have bet my lovesick heart in a game I knew I could not win…. She’s singing accompanied only by her acoustic guitar in a café somewhere deep in Bushwick. She’s beautiful and melancholic. Only the innocent can tell such great lies to themselves. […]

The back yard of Bushwick gallery Factory Fresh happens to be experiencing an interesting time, space and art slot. Tek33 and Dscreet of Burning Candy were working on this graffiti as part of the All City Street Art Block Party on November 20, 2010. As we can all imagine, the Block Party turned out to […]

Are you, as easy as Sunday morning, photoshopping some forgotten photo series or sharpening your pencils for no good cause thinking that next Saturday you shouldn’t drink PBRs straight from a can? Don’t! Or do!

“Clearly you didn’t go to art school, else you’d be aware that in order for your work to be considered art, it has to meet certain criteria of high art

Last weekend I chanced upon an out-of-luck doll, standing un-clothed and unarmed in front Police Service Station 3, on Central Avenue in Bushwick

I feel the look of a large yellow red head from a drawing of James Marshall on my shoulders and on my chest. It’s heavy. My throat is dry and swollen. It somehow gets harder to breathe freely when standing in front of the drawing. I feel the pain, disappointment, temporariness, desolation and surrender. She’s […]

…but he better try harder.
