Eat My Records

"What, does Eat Records have cancer? Was Eat Records unfairly accused?" The kid was joking, but I was a little miffed. We were standing in the doorway of Secret Project Robot on Kent Street, waiting to pay our suggested donation of $8 to see Oneida and Ex Models. Yes, Eat Records is a business and possibly it's unconventional to have a benefit for a business, but hell! Eat Records is a little record store/coffee shop combination and one of the only bohemian enclaves I know of that's a real community space. Last summer I spent many an unemployed day drinking ice tea under their magnolia tree, warding off the looming army of depression and self-loathing by chatting about records and making dumb jokes with the neighborhood gang.

Right Back At Ya...!

by Dan Martino

Hey kids! First off, I want to thank everyone who has been writing in to voice their opinions, tech problems, and ideas for the site. Keep them coming! As you've noticed, we have some new DJs (Names You Can Trust, The Shake Up, and Care In the Community) and a few glitches we're trying to work through. The site's increasing popularity forced us to spread content across a number of servers and re-tool our original design. So you've noticed the columns are down? Well, kind of. They're up--if only in a disorganized fashion, for now. All the shows are being updated weekly and are working. The current pop-up player is only a band-aid until we tweak the new one.

We have some amazing events coming up. We'll be a media sponsor at the Tokion Magazine Creativity Now Conference in New York City May 17th and 18th. Every year, the cultural design magazine brings together the leading minds in film, art, music, media and technology to discuss the present and future of their respected mediums. We'll be giving away a few tickets, so stay tuned.

On May 23rd and 24th, we'll be at Brooklyn Bridge Park to play an opening set of tunes for the celebration of the 125th Anniversary of the Brooklyn Bridge. (Like whoa!) We start at 5 pm and go until sundown, when they'll be showing a movie.

We'll be there the rest of the summer, too, every Thursday, to do the same.

And there's plenty more: More parties. More music. More new shows. And plenty of the best music and DJs on the web. So keep it locked right here.

Cheers,
Dan - Program Director
