Governors Ball begins today on Randall's Island.

Metallica perform "Ride the Lightning" in full at Orion Fest in Atlantic City today. If you can't be there, the fest will also be streaming some sets online.

If the Mermaid Parade today isn't enough scantily-clad folk for you, don't forget Sunday is the Gay Pride Parade.

Also Sunday: Help my good friend Roxanne and others suffering with RSD at the RSD Awareness walk in Central Park. It goes down Sunday at 9am (but registration check-in/pick-up starts at 7:30am).

Follow @BrooklynVegan on Twitter.
Follow @bvChicago for just Chicago stuff.
Also follow @bvAustin for just Austin stuff.

Be our friend on Facebook too, and BV Austin's friend on Facebook and BV Chicago's friend on Facebook.

Bowerbirds play Music Hall of Williamsburg tonight. Check out their new video we premiered earlier this week. You can watch it below too...

What else?

Mermaid Parade = Look at me I am such a whore

When trying to come up with a name for your new band, please refer to the listings above. They are chock full of examples of what NOT to do.

Is it worth seeing Ministry these days? Your thoughts are appreciated.

Posted by Brian | June 23, 2012 10:02 AM

I would go see Ministry... mainly cause they only do Tours of Europe and 5 dates in U.S.

Asshole Al! (And I live in TEXAS, where he lives WTF!?)

Sex with lesbian mermaids in dirty coney island hotels is kinda fun, but like everything else, it gets old. Yawn.

Kinda thinkin that the CDF will be off the hook at Prospect Park tonight

Posted by Anonymous | June 23, 2012 11:20 AM

Will be first time seeing Ministry. I know it's not under ideal circumstances, but this might be the only time I get to see them.

Every night the scene is set
I've got to drink to forget
I cannot incur this debt
Where's the gun?
Here's my head!

Let's go to the Hong Kong
Breaking glass at madame Wong's.
Let's go buy a pint of booze
Getting drunk getting loose

I just want some skank!
skank!
SKANK!

Guys are simple, so no worries and no cries
Take off your top and no one will notice your fat thighs

Posted by Anonymous | June 23, 2012 4:16 PM

4:16 CDF = crowd douche factor

Posted by Anonymous | June 23, 2012 4:49 PM

Ministry is $70 plus service charges!

Al is cashing out!

The CDF may be high, but the HEF will be low.

Posted by Anonymous | June 23, 2012 5:18 PM

Oh and for y'all that don't know what "HEF" stands for...

It's the Hummus Eating Factor.

Posted by Anonymous | June 23, 2012 5:20 PM

Opinion needed...
I am moving to NYC soon and what neighborhoods have the highest CDF and HEF?

Posted by Anonymous | June 23, 2012 5:48 PM

Hey, anyone notice how the Jeremy Lin comments stopped after Marc Maron was called out on his unfunny running joke? I know I did.

Posted by Anonymous | June 23, 2012 9:39 PM

@9:39 those bad jokes were the best part of this site

Posted by Anonymous | June 23, 2012 11:04 PM

Hey for those that went to Governors Ball, how was the line to get in? Any free water stations? Also did anyone take the bus from 125th st? Was there a line for the bus before/after the show?

Ugly bitches should wear more clothing.

5:48 - In Brooklyn, any neighborhoods north of Prospect Park where white transplants from other cities live.

Posted by Anonymous | June 24, 2012 8:39 AM
