Stuck in suburbia one needs to create ways to escape, whether it be by means of daydreaming, watching films, making music, or combining all three. Brooklyn installation artist and member of Dinowalrus, Peter Feiganbaum, has done just that with his project called Trainset Ghetto.

He has focused his teenage yearnings of escapism into a miniature of a 70's/80's outer borough of NYC. At first glance the model appears undoubtably real with precise detailing and looks to be shot by an unsteady cameraman. However, upon closer examination, its clear that the cars are not moving and there is in fact an edge of emptyness and end to the fictitious city.

Last Sunday I attended the Olive Juice Record's weekend music festival held at the Cake Shop in LES. It was a free event featuring great antifolk bands. My roommate from the band Dinowalrus has played there before and only had good things to say about the venue- leaving me completely curious of its alluring qualities. Many of the bands played upstairs, however I witnessed the headliner Jeffrey Lewis upclose and OH so personal.
