Hey kids! First off, I want to thank everyone who has been writing in to voice their opinions, tech problems, and ideas for the site. Keep them coming! As you've noticed, we have some new DJs (Names You Can Trust, The Shake Up, and Care In the Community) and a few glitches we're trying to work through. The site's increasing popularity forced us to spread content across a number of servers and re-tool our original design. So you've noticed the columns are down? Well, kind of. They're up--if only in a disorganized fashion, for now. All the shows are being updated weekly and are working. The current pop-up player is only a band-aid until we tweak the new one.

We have some amazing events coming up. We'll be a media sponsor at the Tokion Magazine Creativity Now Conference in New York City May 17th and 18th. Every year, the cultural design magazine brings together the leading minds in film, art, music, media and technology to discuss the present and future of their respected mediums. We'll be giving away a few tickets, so stay tuned.

On May 23rd and 24th, we'll be at Brooklyn Bridge Park to play an opening set of tunes for the celebration of the 125th Anniversary of the Brooklyn Bridge. (Like whoa!) We start at 5 pm and go until sundown, when they'll be showing a movie.

We'll be there the rest of the summer, too, every Thursday, to do the same.

And there's plenty more: More parties. More music. More new shows. And plenty of the best music and DJs on the web. So keep it locked right here.

Cheers,
Dan - Program Director

Houston's own Devin the Dude, a.k.a your favorite rapper's favorite rapper, will be performing live in Brooklyn tonight at Studio B with Prince Paul and Despot of Def Jux. After the jump, Brooklyn Radio's Mandean caught up with the dude to discuss his new mixtape project, performing, and living the high life.

DJ U-Tern gives you a taste of Tex-Mex electro dancefloor heat with special guest Bird Peterson on One Day Later this week.

Aloha, Crime Fans, and welcome back to the Crime Blotter, where ice picks are a girl's best friend! You know, normally I try to keep the topic here focused on Brooklyn crime, but every once in a while, I'll come across the story of a criminal so stupid, brazen or just plain bizarre that I include it as a shining reminder of the fact that dumbass-ery knows no zip code.

It's Valentine's Day. She wants to go to the sold out MGMT and Yeasayer show. Even if it wasn't sold out, you don't have any money, anyways. But she's so damn cute and funny you know you'll do whatever it takes to get those damn tickets! After the jump, who or what will save the day?
