#bj rubin

Nothing is done by BJ Rubin without the utmost enthusiasm, effort, and (positive) energy, which is entirely noticeable in each of the projects he’s done since moving to New York in 1999. BJ Is probably most well know for his cult status public access show, The BJ Rubin Show, but has been propelling several music and art projects for over 16 years. Each episode of The BJ Rubin Show is made up of live performances in front of a green screen, which BJ takes months to shoot and edit while still maintaining his current job at the United Nations. But whether it’s through starting his own free downloadable archive of his CD collection (Pukekos), or starting his own record record label to put out the music he believes in (Dick Move Records), everything BJ does is in a effort is to expose people to musicians and artists he feels more people deserve to hear. I truly admire everything BJ’s done, and have really tried to model what I hope to do with this magazine off of the same intentions and goals. The man’s life is a huge cluster of productivity and strangeness. But he gets to wake up every morning, across the hall from his 94 year old roommate in their home on the upper west side, knowing he’s living his dream of having his own television show and is able to share it with anyone who’s willing to watch and listen.
