The 2024 Coney Island Mermaid Parade in (NSFW) pics

Mer-folk of all genders and ages, fish, crabs, lobsters, octopi, squids, and a variety of other nautical creatures real and mythological took over Coney Island on Saturday (6/22) as the Coney Island Mermaid Parade held its 42nd annual edition along Surf Ave and the boardwalk.

New York City doesn’t have as much grit as it did in the ’70s or ’80s or even the ’00s, with real estate prices rising as high as the condos that litter both sides of the East River, but young band Been Stellar are aiming to put a little back in. Their debut album Scream from New York, NY is a howl of an indie rock record, wearing its scrapes and bruises proudly and sounding like it was made in the dark alley equivalent of a studio. (In actuality, they made it with in-dem

Something Corporate still inspire the kind of devotion that led one enterprising fan to make a “friendship bracelet” — really more of a friendship necklace than the beaded bracelets that fans have been trading at Taylor Swift shows — with the lyrics to all 9+ minutes of the band’s 2000 opus “Konstantine.” Frontman Andrew McMahon wore it draped around his neck as he began the encore to Thursday night’s (6/20) show at Brooklyn Steel, the first night

Thursday recently made a big comeback with their first new song in 13 years, “Application For Release From the Dream,” and now they’ve released a video for the song.

It was edited by Thursday’s Geoff Rickly and Steve Pedulla, and the performance clips were filmed by Liza De Guia, Drew Painter, Chris Kopinto, Tony Coon and Gabriel Martins. Check it o

I felt really hopeless about it, started getting really drunk, dealt with love and heartbreak, having to be there for my family. I had to come back and really learn how to make art all over again.
