Stairway to Stardom

By Derek Tutschulte | Published: April 7, 2008
Apparently, back in the 80′s there was a cable-access talent show called “Stairway to Stardom” that really tapped the deep vein of awkwardness running through Brooklyn during those cocaine and glitter fueled days. I am proud to say that this sort of thing continues to this day on Brooklyn cable-access station BCAT, and we can [...]

5 Minutes in Brooklyn: DiFara’s Pizza

By Derek Tutschulte | Published: April 3, 2008
Went to Difara’s in Midwood, Brooklyn for lunch today. Best pizza in the world! Dom makes them by hand, one by one, all by himself. I have never seen any of his kids so much as touch the dough. In his day, he wasn’t an artisan, he was a pizza-maker. A true original.

Little River Band – Lady

By Derek Tutschulte | Published: January 30, 2008
While looking online for a video of Little River Band’s classic ballad, “Lady”, I accidentally stumbled across a nerd love, so dark and depraved, that no Trekkie dare speak its name in public: a sentimental dedication to 40 years of the beloved Enterprise. Thanks “captjon1″ for posting!

Brooklyn Loses its (Disco) Balls

By Derek Tutschulte | Published: March 3, 2005
I was very saddened to hear that Spectrum, the location of the Odyssey Disco featured in Saturday Night Fever, is auctioning off the transporting dancefloor that defined a generation; in addition to John Travolta’s undisputable proof that white men could dance, of course (it was all we had). The sale goes down on April 1st [...]

Big Audio Dynamite

By Derek Tutschulte | Published: April 27, 2004
How cool is this? The Boombox Museum. I was actually able to find the model that I purchased at Crazy Eddie’s on Long Island back in the day (pictured above). Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find an old friend’s Marantz that had a TV, turntable, AND at least two tape decks on board! The thing [...]
