Who: The LES BID and Dub Studio Architects, brought together in a partnership through Design NYC, and LES businesses
What: The Lower East Side BID is transforming Orchard Street into an “urban backyard”, a three-block special event designed in partnership with Dub Studios. This one-day event will be open to all, to shop and experience the vibrant culture, food, art, music and entertainment that defines the LES.
When: Sunday, June 3rd, Noon-5pm
Where: Orchard Street between Delancey and Houston
Why: “DayLife” is an event that hopefully will be the first in a series of original Sunday programming on three blocks that have been closed to vehicular traffic since 1972. Paying homage to the history of the neighborhood, DUB Studios has created a modern pushcart designed specifically for LES businesses to sell merchandise right on the street. The event will have a backyard BBQ feel with Astroturf serving as grass, picnic tables to hang out at, ping pong tables, a skateboarding ramp, music and more.

New App Helps Bands Stay Organized and In Business
I came across this app several months back, and recently signed up to their site to check it out, and also see exactly how it works. I have to say, in regard to being organized, understanding the full spectrum of a band’s needs, and creating a business, these guys have got it covered. From the tour organization section, to their merch app, they have given bands every tool necessary to really have a single stop source for all of their needs. Not only do they supply a great selection of base of apps within the program, they also have many different apps, which they call action packs, that the user can purchase. In these “action packs” they have researched and given you the materials needed to really get you started.

Anyone who has toured as long as I have, or who has traveled as extensively, and says that they’ve never cheated is lying. Trying to cope with the balance between home life and road life has been a theme in my music since early Red House Painters records. You get into a deep enough conversation with anyone— an accountant, whoever— and stuff comes out. Crazy things happen at those work conventions, or at a wedding on a drunken night. We’re all human and life is complicated. You really think all of those indie music dorks go to SXSW every year to check out music? They go there to wear their laminates and act important and try to get laid.

Song of the day-
Brandi Carlile - Looking Out
I went out looking for the answers
And never left my town
I’m no good at understanding
But I’m good at standing ground
And when I asked a corner preacher
I couldn’t hear him for my youth
Some people get religion
Some people get the truth
I never get the truth
I never get the truth
I know the darkness pulls on you
But it’s just a point of view
When you’re outside looking in
You belong to someone
And when you feel like giving in
Or the coming of the end
Like your heart could break in two
Someone loves you
I laid this suitcase on my chest
So I could feel somebody’s weight
And I laid you to rest
Just to feel the give and take
I got a new interpretation
And it’s a better point of view
While you were looking for a landslide
I was looking out for you
I was looking out for you
Someone’s looking out for you
I know the darkness pulls on you
But it’s just a point of view
When you’re outside looking in
You belong to someone
And when you feel like giving in
Or the coming of the end
Like your heart could break in two
Someone loves you
I am afraid of crossing lines
I am afraid of flying blind
Afraid of inquiring minds
Afraid of being left behind
I close my eyes, I think of you
I take a step, I think of you
I catch my breath, I think of you
I cannot rest, I think of you
My one and only wrecking ball
And you’re crashing through my walls
When you’re outside looking in
You belong to someone
And when you feel like giving in
Or the coming of the end
Like your heart could break in two
Someone loves you, yeah
