someone put up an Other Music tribute billboard in Brooklyn

Beloved NYC record store Other Music has a little less than two weeks left in business — it closes on June 25. Some fan of the store has erected a billboard in Williamsburg, which you can see from the bike path on the Williamsburg bridge saying “Thank You Other Music — sincerely N.Y.C.”

Since we last posted, the sold-out ‘Other Music Forever’ farewell party at Bowery Ballroom on June 28 has added a few more performers, including Psychic Ills, The Tallest Man on Earth and Bill Callahan who will play alongside Julianna Barwick, Frankie Cosmos, Helado Negro, Menahan Street Band, Matana Roberts, Sharon Van Etten, Yo La Tengo, and John Zorn’s Simulacrum (with John Medeski, Matt Hollenberg and Kenny Grohowski).
