Glitchy Pop is Alive and Well in Brooklyn

Life Size Maps just released a new track before some upcoming spring shows around the city and we are a big fan of this digitized, happy pop music.

The Brooklyn-based dude trio has been making the rounds in our beloved music enclaves in the borough and can't wait to hear some more of their warm weather-ready set lists.

Bed Stuy Artist With a Message for Cat Callers Resurfaces

Last year, we started noticing a few pastings on empty walls around Bed Stuy, Brooklyn.

In addition to the graffiti and art pieces that make the neighborhood so much fun to visit (and live in), these drawings stood out. Stark and minimalistic in nature, beautifully-realistic women stared out as you walked by with different messages in bold letters underneath.

Stop Telling Women to Smile. Women Don't Owe You Their Time or Conversation.

Powerful words with a very personal message you could feel jumping out from the black and white drawings.

We did some digging and found out the artist responsible is Tatyana Fazlalizadeh, a painter and muralist from Philadelphia. She started the project after moving to Brooklyn and constantly feeling uncomfortable walking down the street because of the barrage of verbal harassment that would follow her.
