The NYT Metro section (full article) shares the story of a musical “collective” (a hipster commune) in the Ditmars Park section of Brooklyn.  Eight roommates (all musicians) trying to do the modern day Big Pink thing.



By modern day, I mean they have a backing media company called BKLYN1834 (website) that is investing in making this creative “think” tank produce marketable ideas and projects.

I am rooting for them!

It’s not my (our) type of music, but they are storming SXSW this year in Austin.

FYW.
