Could watch this video all day every day. Will probably not watch this video all day every day because of things like work, sleep, food, girl. BE FREE.

Acrylics are popping up all over Brooklyn right now. The fivesome are currently recording their debut long-player, a release whose psychedelic bike ride jams have yet to officially find a label home. We spent an afternoon with them in founding duo Molly and Jason’s backyard, a mess of vines, knives and beer bottles not unlike the pop scene that’s at the core of “Summer Seventeen,” the song they stripped down and rolled out just for El Tripwire (that’s us, knuckleheads.) It’s good. Real good. Catch them tomorrow night, July 2nd, playing with Kuroma and Gift Horse at Pianos. On July 17th they play at Savoir Adore’s record release party at Cameo then back to Piano’s to play with Suckers and Class Actress on July 30th. Like we said, they’re all over the borough right now. Pretty soon they’ll be all over your brainspace.

Dinosaur Jr. released Farm last week and we’ve been listening to nothing else. Not even our friends and family. Here’s the clip for “Over It.”

Last week our favorite analog darling and Tiny Telephone founder,John Vanderslice, played some shows in NYC. We had the pleasure of having him over to our backyard (or porch) to hear him play one of his best songs, “Fetal Horses,” for our new video performance series, The Backyard. The rain stopped for just a moment while the birds came out and joined in on the sing song fun. Who needs a back up band when there are birds outside?

A couple weeks ago, we were lucky enough to test out the new lanes at Brooklyn Bowl, the first all green bowling alley. And let me tell you…it is sweet. We got to chill with Moby for the day and talk about his older albums as well as his new album, Wait For Me, to be releasted on June 30th. We also got the inside scoop on his new video for “Shot In The Back Of The Head” by David Lynch which you can view in it’s entirety here.
