“I wanted to surprise my girlfriend with a special and unique proposal,” writes Bart, the person who painted a graffiti-style marriage proposal viewable from the High Line this week. “Rings in champagne glasses and one-kneed proposals in Central Park — it’s been done and frankly isn’t my style.” The piece took an hour and a […]
Keeping the fires of their post-prison fame alive, two members of Pussy Riot, recently released from labor camps, are coming to Brooklyn to play the Amnesty International’s Bringing Human Rights Home concert at Barclays Center on February 5. ‘We are happy to support Amnesty International’s work on behalf of human rights and political prisoners,’ said Nadezhda […]
“Listen In“ is a weekly feature in which we ask musicians to curate a mixtape-length YouTube playlist of songs they’re currently digging.
