After a month long installation in Long Island City, HEADSCAPES has come to a close… So naturally, the dozen or so (mostly Brooklyn-based) artists and musicians involved in the show have decided to invite us all to dance the night away surrounded by the fragmented remains of art.

More info on what you missed and may or may not see tonight at headscapes-show.tumblr.com

Tonight’s shindig includes performances from our friends Ninjasonik, New Cross (ex-Team Robespierre) and Mr. Andersonic followed DJ sets from Ben Robey, James Mulry and Dirtyfinger.

RSVP and stalk for attractive attendees here.

Brooklyn Community Board 1 approved a Department of Transportation plan (still awaiting a final vote on April 9th) to turn 6 car parking spots into 45 bike parking spots. From Brooklyn Spectator:

The bicycle corrals are slated for a stretch of Grand Street near Driggs Avenue (outside Williamsburg Cinemas), Broadway near Berry Avenue (near Marlow and Sons), and Frost Street at Meeker Avenue

Vinnie’s Pizzeria on Bedford is known around the internet for their Tom Hanks trash can and their creative whiteboards. This week’s boards feature Game of Thrones characters in honor of the show’s return on Sunday. See more (more…)

Time Warner customer service parody twccustomerservice.com walked around NYC (and even the TWC offices) to ask what they could do to make your life worse. “We already do that.” Watch (more…)

It’s Maundy Thursday. Don’t worry; I had to look it up, too. I’ve exhausted my pool of matzoh jokes for the week (“Why does everyone complain about it tasting like cardboard? ‘TIS THE BREAD OF AFFLICTION,” etc.), and so it’s come to this. Lent is almost over; you can start eyeing that humiliating heap of Marshmallow Peeps/Cadbury Eggs you’ve been hoarding since last year’s post-Easter candy aisle blowout and pray for deliverance from insulin resistance. In other news, by some act of divine providence we’ve managed to finally break 50°F, meaning that I expect to wake up every morning like this, god damn it, until it’s barely hot enough to start complaining again.

I never went to Sunday school, but I hear that damnation starts in the Garden of Eden. Shall we?

Louise Dudis: Eye Level with the Smallest Leaf at Robert Henry Contemporary

This series of large-scale, multi-panel photographs started, Dudis says, on a night with a “low, full, and brilliant moon.” Into it. The immaculate fragility of nature encompasses both mammoth trunks and rotting leaves—a nice reminder of our own subtle and delicate decay, no? Having represented the majesty of morality during the time of American Transcendentalism, consider that these trees have fallen. Through April 28.

That’s right, James Mercer and company (along with Richard Swift, Crystal Skulls’ Yuuki Matthews and Modest Mouse drummer Joe Plummer) will be playing North 12th Street and Kent Ave for, oh, just $45 a pop, plus Ticketmaster processing fees, but what’s that as compared to an evening with Zach Braff’s favorite band of all time? This music will change your life. Again. Just like it did when you were a junior in high school, and you listened to “Kissing The Lipless” on repeat and your AIM screen name referenced New Slang. Whatever, we’re in. Tickets go on sale at noon on Friday; BYOB emotions.
