The talent and flavor of Brooklyn. Mural project launches in Bushwick sponsored by Make the Road. Brooklyn street artists teach the art of mural painting to local teenagers, who then carry out well-planned public art works. Sounds good to me.

No one wishes they lived in Bushwick. Or do they? Indie-superstar in waiting and actress of Juno semi-fame bemoans her high West Village rent to NY mag and wants to make a trade for a $650 dollar room in Bushwick. First of all, what’s one of those? Second of all, a commenter questions the logic.

Migratory teenage (fake) punks thoroughly disapprove of Bushwick. Excited by the prospect of a free punk show at the Wreck Room, seven kids make the trek from St. Marks to Flushing (trailed by a NY Mag reporter — cool!), and their hearts sink into their stomachs as they see the place is lined with “hipsters, the current incarnation of yuppie scum” and the band is a bunch “of paunchy guys in their forties flopping around.” Comments launch (fake) preps vs. punks war.

You can’t mosh to this either, but…Mesmerizing video just posted of Suite Unraveling’s performance at Monduna.

Five year olds discuss Bushwick, their mommies, and “silly poor kids and their tripe.” I teach five year olds for a living, I’d recognize their limit-testing, attention-seeking banter anywhere. But who taught them to post on Williamsboard?
