September 23, 2015 By Peter Rittweger

If you want to sign a lease to live at 321 Wythe Avenue (near S. 2nd) you’ll have to swear off porno, abortions and birth control. The building, formerly Saints Peter and Paul Church, is being converted to apartments, but the church has stipulated that certain non-Catholic activities will be banned even after the building […]

Madvillain sorta return with "Knock Knock"

September 23, 2015 By Peter Rittweger

The follow-up to MF Doom and Madlib’s 2004 masterwork Madvillainy has replaced Detox as the most anticipated, probably never going to happen record in hip-hop now that Detox has actually come out Dr. Dre shut everyone up with Compton. I don’t think we’ll ever hear Madvillainy II, so the best we’ll probably do is a […]

Price-gouging CEO Martin Shkreli is one of Brooklyn-based Collect Records' investors

September 22, 2015 By Peter Rittweger

It turns out that colossal dirtbag pharma CEO Martin Shkreli, who has been all over the news for increasing the price of Daraprim, a drug used to treat AIDS and cancer patients, from $13.50 to $750 per pill is one of the major investors in one of my own personal favorite labels, Collect Records, which […]

The old Trash Bar space is up on Craigslist

September 21, 2015 By Peter Rittweger

There’s always something perversely interesting about these. For $20,000 per month, you can open up shop in the now-shuttered, once beloved dive where the Yeah Yeah Yeahs once played. And your friend’s crappy Pavement tribute band, like a hundred times. The old Trash Bar’s listing reads, “Former Bar Business Perfect for Restaurant-Bar.” Well… yeah? Perfect […]

Smorgasburg home and superfund site 50 Kent will be cleaned of toxic coal tar

September 16, 2015 By Peter Rittweger

If you thought the only toxic garbage coming out of 50 Kent this year was that horrible 90s fest, you’re sorely mistaken. It turns out that the lot, perhaps most famous for housing our beloved Smorgasburg, “contains a ‘significant’ level of coal tar,” according to DNAinfo. Long before Pauly Shore was making self-depreciating jokes about […]

Download Destruction Unit's new album for free

September 16, 2015 By Peter Rittweger

Okay, so Adult Swim are kinda-sorta on my shit list for canceling Aqua Teen Hunger Force, but they’ve basically redeemed themselves by offering up a free download of Destruction Unit’s new record, Negative Feedback Resistor. If you guys could just bring back 12 Oz Mouse now, we’ll be even. Premature endings for antisocial mice and […]
