Williamsburg Yuppies - Face it: you have become your parents

New York Shitty posted on a party that occurred last weekend in Williamsburg:
My wife and I and our 16 month old daughter have been kept up all night by a quite clearly illegal dance party hosted in a stalled condo project on North 1st, between kent and wythe I called the police a total of 4 times during the night, and 311 as well. Do you know how to get hold of the details of the owners of buildings like this ? Also, is there anything we can do as members of the community ? Community board meetings or similar? It’s 7.30 and it’s still going on. I’m concerned that if they think the cops are powerless, they will carry on for the rest of the summer. If they do, we’re moving out. Any suggestions you could make would be greatly appreciated.
We’ve been to a lot of these types of parties and we’ve definitely been witness to families and neighbors telling us how they’ve been inconvenienced so there really isn’t much groundbreaking news here. What is worth reading appears in the comment below…

Tame Impala at Glasslands

Tame Impala tore through a 50 minute set of their infectious psych rock at Glasslands last night to finish their string of NYC dates. They were surprisingly young and we were impressed with their tight set with a few extended jams. They can easily fill a larger venue and we imagine we’re not going to be able to see them in such an intimate venue for a while.

Caribou at Music Hall of Williamsburg 5/7/2010
(by Dave Surgan)
One of my favorite live bands, Caribou has a strong focus on percussion with the right mix of samples and live instrumentation. You never feel like they are playing to a backing track with samples leading the way.
