ALSO: Grizzly Bear on cover of New York; CDs turned 30; Dave Sitek's new label, Trent Reznor, Ryan Adams, Deadmau5, more

Grizzly Bear are on the cover of the new issue of NY Magazine, which makes two weeks in a row that Brooklyn was prominently featured.

Despite making it into Billboard’s Top 10 with their new album, Shields, the band still aren’t making a lot of money.

Check out pictures from the show they just played in Chicago with Lower Dens.

And speaking of Brooklyn, get ready for Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas.

The Compact Disc turns 30 years old today. The first CD pressed in America was Bruce Springsteen‘s Born in the USA (though Billy Joe’s 52nd Street came out in Japan before that). What was the first CD you bought?

Speaking of Bruce Springsteen, Kenny’s Castaways, where he used to play is hosting their final show tonight.

Producer and TV On the Radio member Dave Sitek has launched Federal Prism, “a new record label where Sitek will personally record, mix, produce, and release a series of limited edition 12-inch vinyl picture discs with a uniquely curator-driven perspective. The vinyl will be limited to 500 numbered copies each with a jacket personally hand silkscreened by Sitek.”

Federal Prism‘s first release is “Destroyer” by Telepathe. “The b-side of the vinyl will feature a remix by Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor with Alessandro Cortini and Atticus Ross. Sitek adds, “I told Trent I was starting my own label and would love to have him remix something on the first release. I sent him the session and before he actually said ‘YES’, he sent back this mighty dark space that he, Alessandro and Atticus had built for me! I was shocked and am certain I will have to keep ripping them off for years!”” It’s on sale now.

Speaking of Trent Reznor, he says his his band How To Destroy Angels, have “formally partnered with Columbia Records for our next series of releases. The first of these will be available in November and it’s called An Omen EP.”

Scary: Ryan Adams revealed via Twitter: “Recording a track with my new pal @deadmau5 today. Sounds like BladeRunner starring Don Henley.”

More scary: As if it wasn’t bad enough that Bruno Mars has been announced as the host of the 10/20 episode of SNL, they’re letting him be the musical performer for that episode too!

But here’s some good news: Now That’s What I Call Music 83 will reportedly be the last in the series.
