Do you use the bus system? Do you feel like a total dumbass at your stop waiting for a bus that seems like it’ll never show up, even though it’s only a couple minutes before the scheduled arrival time which is entirely dependent on the consistency of bus drivers? Then you start worrying, “Maybe it crashed,” and […]
How are we expected to celebrate Pi day when there’s not even a Google doodle to mark the occasion? There’s this Kickstarter, for one, where an artist and a faculty member from Williamsburg’s Green School are hoping to raise money for their students to paint a mathematical mural celebrating the famous figure. Painter Ellie Balk and […]
Yarn-bombing street diva Olek strikes again, this time bedecking a giant billboard in Oakland with her token neon pink crochet camo and a flirty statement: Boys! According to her Twitter, this is “The first crocheted billboard ever!” which is really not all that shocking, considering the painstaking effort it must have taken to cover the […]
Each week in Sample Wars, we’ll pit two songs which sample the same source material head-to-head against each other, to determine which one rocked the sample better. To celebrate the release of Justin Timberlake’s The 20/20 Experience this week, we’re looking at Sly, Slick, & Wicked’s “Sho’ Nuff,” which provides the basis for “Suit & Tie” as well […]

Just got a brand-new piece of glitchy furniture and need some knick-knacks to put on top? You could do a lot worse than these pixilated animal sculptures from artist Shawn Smith. Smith, as you may have guessed, is interested in how computers mitigate our perception of the natural world. Everything’s made of wood blocks, to […]
This seems like a very good time to buy vacuum sealed JAMES FRANCO man of the world cover with all BUSHWICK foods including homemade chocolate chip cookies and local anchovies. It’s a ready-made and it’s only $75. Artist Brad Troemel started selling sculptural objects on his BSTJ Etsy store as a project for group blog The Jogging awhile ago, but yeah, Spring Breakers, so […]
Last night in East Flatbush, about 200 people attended a candlelight vigil for Kimani Gray, the 16-year-old shot and killed by police Saturday after allegedly pointing a loaded gun at two officers.

Is this the end of an era or a bluff by the management? The allegedly notorious McKibbin Lofts are known for three things: the Montrose and Morgan L stop proximity (ahem ahem ahem), the packed ‘n’ stacked quasi-mini-cubicle bed-“rooms” in inexplicable shapes and… the parties.
