We caught up with local rockers Outernational a few times this year, most notably for a recent acoustic performance at Bar 4. That acoustic performance and our interview with singer Miles Solay turned into the premiere episode of our new video series profiling local musicians (click to watch). What we did not know at the time was that the guys would be previewing their acoustic set before heading to nearby Southpaw to share a stage with Shilpa Ray and Patti Smith & Lenny Kaye on November 11 for our evening to benefit FortnightJournal.com.

Fortnight Journal founders Adam Whitney Nichols and Samantha Hines launched the web project on October 20 with the goal of archiving and documenting the promise of the millennial generation. The site’s inaugural fourteen contributors will submit one work per two week cycle, revealing a new multimedia moment by a different person everyday. Then a luminary – the first, Patti Smith – responds critically or creatively to one piece. The site contributors rotate quarterly. The project is a publication of Fourteen Foundation, Inc., “a nonprofit public initiative devoted to reviving cross-generational mentorship by documenting and sustaining dialogue on traditional forms of practice,” who are currently in the process of obtaining tax-exempt status. Listen to them discuss their vision for a new kind of website.
Shilpa Ray and her Happy Hookers ended a late afternoon set at Knitting Factory during CMJ with Shilpa Ray stepping away from her harmonium and pogoing wildly, stabbing the air like a child throwing a tantrum. The whole orchestral molotov should fit perfectly at Southpaw on November 11 when the band shares a bill with locals Outernational and Patti Smith & Lenny Kaye at a benefit show for FortnightJournal.com, sponsored by BrooklyntheBorough.com.

The media you see here is free, both in the sense that you are not paying for it, but also in that it serves as a place to exchange free speech. This speech is not mediated by corporate sponsors. If you find it compelling, please support this project as we build new media for free culture in Brooklyn.
As little as $5 goes a long way as we build our new infrastructure without venture capitalists, grants, traditional media or sponsorships. This project is totally DIY and donations are tax-deductible.
