August 10, 2018 By Robert Lanham

Robyn released a short film about her fans and the Brooklyn Bowl dance party

And it’s awsome. As we mentioned in May, the Swedish singer made a surprise appearance at Brooklyn Bowl, pretty much blowing everyone’s mind. We’re excited that she’s FINALLY releasing a new record, since it’s been eight years since her, “Body Talk.” The release date has not been announced, but she said it would be sometime this […]

Williamsburg or Gettysburg beard?

Jimmy Kimmel visited Williamsburg for a funny skit this week. In case you missed it, check it out below. If you’ve never been to Brooklyn you should know that this borough is home to some of the thickest and scraggliest beards this side of Fallujah. Sometimes we’re not sure if we are in Brooklyn or […]

VIDEO: Electric Zoo Festival Reveals City-Centric Stage Designs

This Labor Day weekend, the concrete jungle will come to life like never before! When Electric Zoo Festival announced that they would be adopting the theme “The 6th Boro” for this year’s three-day electronic event, we were curious to see how MADE Events would meld their animalistic legacy with a fresh, metropolitan twist.

The new Radiohead video was filmed in Greenpoint and Bushwick

I thought it was just my imagination when I started watching Radiohead’s new video for Man Of War, but as confirmed by Gothamist the video was filmed in Brooklyn. Look out for shots in Greenpoint’s Cooper Park as well as Gardiner Ave in Bushwick. Check it out below:

40 unconventional “love” songs for past, present, + future bae

February 13, 2017 By Nicole Wasilewicz

Love songs don’t have to be mushy and chock-full of cliches. They can be dirty, weird, morbid, depressing, hyper-sexual, or just plain straightforward. The sentiment can come from both the heart AND the pants. It doesn’t matter how you say I love you, or I want you, or I want to die if you die—there […]

This One Goes To Eleven: Weekly metal roundup

February 9, 2017 By Coleman Bentley

Guys, I think we might have fucked up. For years we metalheads have fantasized about hell on earth. From the goat altars of satanic black metal to the fire-licked peaks of every tech-death album cover ever, we imagined an underworld ascended—a dark fantasy dragged into the light. Now that we are living it on a […]
