FREEwilliamsburg’s Top 25 Albums of 2019

December 18, 2019 By Peter Rittweger

FREEwilliamsburg’s Top 25 Albums of 2019

There is something bittersweet about writing a Top 25 albums post at the end of a decade marked by so much change in music, the way its distributed, and the way it’s reviewed. The last thing I wanted to do, was rehash how algorithms have created our own individual musical vacuums for the thousandth time, […]

FREEwilliamsburg’s Top 25 Albums Of 2016

December 21, 2016 By Peter Rittweger

2016 was the dirt fucking worst. There’s no other way to put it. It seems almost absurd to talk about what a great year it was for music, in light of all of the terrible things that have happened, but music helped us cope a lot over the last twelve months. And serendipitously, a wealth […]

Panorama 2016 Festival Review

July 27, 2016 By Peter Rittweger

The folks at Goldenvoice, the company most famous for promoting Coachella, were probably looking forward to a reprieve from the three digit temperatures their flagship festival often endures in the Southern California desert when they were organizing their New York City festival, some months ago. Instead, they, and festival-goers like myself, would have to persevere […]

MTA displacing residents around the M train in Bushwick during repairs

April 19, 2016 By Peter Rittweger

Well, all of this train business just keeps getting worse. BUSHWICK — Dozens of homes, a coffee shop and bike store along the M train line have to be vacated for between six and ten months, or even longer, during repairs to a section of the elevated tracks, according to MTA documents. Twenty-six apartments along […]

Top 5 Shows of the weekend

April 15, 2016 By Peter Rittweger

DISCLAIMER: The real number one show of the weekend is the Bernie Sanders rally at Prospect Park on Sunday. I just couldn’t rank a Grizzly Bear set ahead of any of the other shows on the list. Please be advised that the FREEwilliamsburg staff wholeheartedly feels the Bern. But we also feel doom, post-punk, thrash […]
