Here’s the trailer for a neat-looking documentary about legendary Gowanus recording outpost BC Studio, where such records as Sonic Youth’s Bad Moon Rising, Brian Eno’s Ambient 4: On Land, and Herbie Hancock’s “Rockit” were cut. Due to rising rents in the neighborhood, founder Martin Bisi is worried he won’t be able to keep his doors open for long. Take […]
