MUSIC: Indie Rock
Movable Hype feat. Asobi Seksu, the Fresh, Snowden, the Sons of Sound, and Tarts of Pleasure


when: Tue 11.16 (8pm)
where: Knitting Factory (74 Leonard St, 212.219.3132)
price: $12
links: Event Info
 
In an era of journalism defined by the advent of blogging, the NYC-centric Gothamist expands its reach even further, christening a new live music series, Movable Hype. Tonight, the bloggerazzi invade the Knitting Factory for a slew of local talent, including Asobi Seksu and the Fresh. Atlanta-based Snowden blend in with a style that channels recognizable '80s influences and a fondness for shoegazing. But the bill's clear standout is the Sons of Sound, whose compositions juxtapose the delicate falsetto of former Realistics frontman Dennis Cahlo with a towering wall of haunting sound. Dance queen duo Tarts of Pleasure rock the decks between bands. (JB)

Note: $2 drink specials all night.


 Blogs: the future of internet communication, or a colossal waste of time? Make a case for either, in 50 words or less. Five most convincing answers each win a pair of tickets to the show.



  
DJ
Ellen Allien


when: Tue 11.16 (9pm)
where: APT (419 W 13th St, 212.414.4245)
price: $5
links: Event Info | Ellen Allien
 
It's hard to imagine that, on top of running her increasingly visible BPitch Control label and releasing three albums — a studio record, a remix collection, and the recent My Parade mix disc — in under two years, Ellen Allien would have the time to slot in a worldwide tour. Just consider it her way of letting off steam as she rocks you with raucous techno, seduces you with icy electro, and wows you with floor-crushing selections that are as unique as they are eclectic. If the marvelously mental tracks on My Parade are any indication, she still won't be slowing down any time soon. (KT)

Note: Free vodka bar from 9-10pm.


 In what year did Ellen Allien found BPitch Control? Second correct answer wins a pair of tickets to the show.





  
MUSIC: Indietronica
Morr Tour feat. Lali Puna, Styrofoam, and the Go Find


when: Wed 11.17 (8pm)
where: Mercury Lounge (217 E Houston St, 212.260.4700)
price: $15
links: Event Info | Morr Records | Lali Puna | Styrofoam | The Go Find
 
The melancholic electro-twee-pop of singer Valerie Trebeljahr's prior recordings with Lali Puna has taken a backseat on their latest, Faking the Books — which steers closer to the kind of propulsive, driving rock the German band's live shows are known for. The Notwist's Markus Acher provides instrumental and songwriting help, and both Lali Punians contribute to the new collaboration-heavy Styrofoam record, Nothing's Lost (on which Ben Gibbard vocalizes a Postal Service-y number). Styrofoam, aka Arne van Petegem, boasts well-crafted compositions rife with hooks and the visceral punch of an "army of synths" live sound, tempered by bittersweet vocal melodies. Openers the Go Find serve up a more ebullient, but no less compelling take on Morr-tronica. (JL)

Note: These artists also play at the Mercury Lounge on Tue 11.16 (8pm).


 What is the name of the Styrofoam song on which Ben Gibbard sings? Third correct answer wins a pair of tickets to the show.



  
MUSIC: Techno
Robots Presents Run Stop Restore (aka Magda, Troy Pierce, and Marc Houle)


when: Wed 11.17 (10pm)
where: Canal Room (285 W Broadway, 212.941.0900)
price: $10 / $5 advance
links: Event Info | Run Stop Restore
 
When Magda moved to NYC in 2002, her unique ability to fully engage dance floors with even the most minimal and abstract bloops and bleeps quickly caused major waves of adoration. She hosted the highly successful Gel & Weave weekly at Open Air and many memorable after-hours loft parties with Dinky. This year, Magda was among the many minimal techno artists who migrated to Berlin, and she is now in-demand on the international circuit. Tonight, she returns to NYC to play on the Canal Room's impressive sound system with Troy Pierce and Marc Houle — the three co-produced an EP as Run Stop Restore on Richie Hawtin's M-nus record label. (BK)






  
PHOTOGRAPHY: Opening
Ghetto Fab: The Photo-Graf Collection


when: Thur 11.18 (6-11pm)
where: Zenergy at the SkyLoft (519 W 36th St, 212.633.1979)
price:  FREE
links: Event Info
 
The Emerging Arts crew lauds NYC graffiti gurus through the ages with this colorful photo exhibit by the don of the spray can shoot, Jonathan Singer. Known as the "Ansel Adams of graffiti photography," Singer gained extraordinary access to the underground through years of patient work. The result is dozens upon dozens of images of NYC's mural masterpieces that spectacularly document this lesser-known side of our cultural history. Tonight's opening reception includes presentations of the 2004 Ghetto Fab American Graffiti Award to a host of legendary spray can artists, including Franco the Great (aka the Picasso of Harlem), Fame City International, Graffiti Hall of Fame, Tats Cru, Seen, and Chico. (JM)

Note: The exhibit continues through Sun 12.12 (Sun: 12-3pm).




  
READING: w/ Discussion
William Vollmann: Rising Up and Rising Down


when: Thur 11.18 (7pm)
where: The New School (66 W 12th St, 212.229.5488)
price: $10
links: Event Info | William Vollmann
 
Last year, McSweeney's published William Vollmann's long-awaited treatise on violence Rising Up and Rising Down to awe and acclaim. Seven volumes and over 20 years in the making, the work represents Vollmann's "moral calculus" for justifying violence. A monument of scholarship it may be; however, at over 3,300 pages (nearly 20 pounds!), most people haven't read it. Lucky for us, Vollmann has teamed up with Ecco Press to release a 750-page abridged version — perhaps the vade mecum for "politicians, terrorists, [and] soldiers" that he hoped the work could become. Tonight, he reads from and discusses the book. (CL)


 "He started it!" Justify your violent behavior in 25 words or less. Two most credible answers each win a pair of tickets to this event.



  
FILM
Guerrilla: The Taking of Patty Hearst


when: Thur 11.18 (7 & 9:30pm)
where: Makor (35 W 67th St, 212.601.1000)
price: $15 (7pm) / $9 (9:30pm)
links: Event Info
 
The wicked stepsister to 2003's The Weather Underground, Guerrilla fixes a jaundiced (if kindly) eye on another faction of the '70s domestic terrorist movement: the Symbionese Liberation Army, who some argue were more of a cult than a faction. That debate rumbles at the film's core, rather than the actual 1973 SLA kidnapping of heiress Patty Hearst, a famously impressionable young lass. For therein lies the rub: when Hearst forswore her family's "pig capitalism" and dove army fatigue-first into the movement, was it Stockholm Syndrome or just a ruder-than-most political awakening? Through media (circus) footage and rare interviews with former SLA members, director Robert Stone ponders whether Hearst's young captors were simply as misguided, and impressionable, as she. (LR)

Note: A Q&A session with the director follows the 7pm screening.


 What image was the SLA's official symbol? First five correct answers each win a pair of tickets to the 7pm screening.



  
MUSIC: Rock 'n Rave
Kasabian


when: Thur 11.18 (8:30pm)
where: Bowery Ballroom (6 Delancey St, 212.533.2111)
price: $13
links: Event Info | Kasabian
 
If you've become a bit dazed by the astonishing number of quality bands once more emerging from the UK, Kasabian are here to slap you across the face with a clear reminder that the British are still coming. Endearingly named after Manson family member Linda, the Leicester, England-based four-piece revives the spirit of Madchester's baggy scene; its beat-based rock rave-ups recall the glory days of the Stone Roses and Happy Mondays, while also echoing the poppier side of modern-day Primal Scream and the Cooper Temple Clause. This performance is their US debut and a chance to catch them very early in the game — Kasabian won't be back again until 2005, when their self-titled debut album finally gets its domestic release. (DL)


 Who's your favorite Manson, serial killer or otherwise? The best answer wins a pair of tickets to the show.





  
MULTIMEDIA
Scanner presents 52 Spaces


when: Fri 11.19 (8pm)
where: Eyebeam (540 W 21st St, 212.252.5193)
price: $15
links: Event Info | Scanner
 
Call him what you will — telephone terrorist, ambient composer, found sound artist — but Londoner Robin Rimbaud (aka Scanner) has serious credentials in the realm of knob-twiddling. He's worked with the diverse likes of DJ Spooky, Bill Laswell, and Oval — not to mention composing an "inter-national anthem" for the EU. Tonight, Scanner couldn't find a more thoroughly modern (or alienated) Millie to match himself with than that master of film mood, Michelangelo Antonioni. Playing alongside 52 frames from the close of L'Eclisse (lonely wide-open spaces, anyone?), he culls bits of the film's original dialogue, sounds, and musical fragments and reconstitutes them into a new A/V meditation on human consciousness. (JKG)

Note: Composer Ryoji Ikeda also gives a multimedia performance, C41, on Sat 11.20. Tickets can be purchased jointly for both events.


 What are the names of the star-crossed lovers in L'Eclisse? Fourth correct answer wins a pair of tickets to the show.



  
MUSIC: Techno-Dub
~scape Tour feat. Deadbeat w/ Bus and Crackhaus


when: Fri 11.19 (9pm)
where: Subtonic (107 Norfolk St, 212.358.7501)
price: $5
links: Event Info | ~scape
 
Dubbed "But Then Again," the five-year anniversary tour of diverse, Berlin-based IDM stable ~scape hits town tonight. Somehow both far-reaching and characteristically German, ~scape's catalog centers mainly on dub-influenced click-tracks and abstract techno. Operated by Stefan Betke (aka Pole) and Barbara Preisinger, the imprint is best known for early releases from artists like Jan Jelinek (aka Farben), Burnt Friedman, and San Francisco's Kit Clayton. Making its NYC stop at — where else? — dance music dungeon Subtonic, this leg of the tour features live performances from Canadian artists Deadbeat and Crackhaus, Berlin-based Bus, and an opening DJ set from D Meteo. (KM)




  
MULTIMEDIA
eNerGy Anime & Game Festival


when: Fri 11.19 - Sun 11.21 (schedule)
where: Tribeca Performing Arts Center (199 Chambers St, 212.220.1460)
price: $50 festival pass / $12 session
links: Event Info
 
Continuing the inter-city exchange by importing Japan's techno-pop entertainment, New York-Tokyo and Fuji Communications International keep your peepers working overtime with their three-day eNerGy festival. Friday's Advanced Interactive Nightlife is a hi-tech haven, with the latest video games, multiple controllers, flat screens, and live music. A Saturday morning cartoon session opens the anime portion of the festival, followed by two days of premieres, unreleased features, and television serials — a panel with the creators follows each screening. Throughout the event, peruse the production houses in the Exhibitor's Pavillion to check out new releases and munch on Japanese snacks. Start caffeinating early and don't forget the Visine. (CN)

FILM
Days of Being Wild (1991)


when: Fri 11.19 - Thur 11.25 (schedule)
where: Film Forum (209 W Houston St, 212.727.8110)
price: $10
links: Event Info
 
Reckless escapades and sweat-tinged undergarments are the emblems of youth in Wong Kar-Wai's Days of Being Wild (1991). Borrowing a page from Nick Ray's book, Wong gives us a rebel without a cause — but with enough carelessly sexual charisma to enslave the hearts and minds of even the most reticent of beauties (e.g. Maggie Cheung). An ode to the time in life when actions seemingly have no consequences, Days is steeped in the sexy languor that permeates the director's signature works (In the Mood for Love, Chungking Express). While it is available on DVD, the color-soaked '60s dream world created by cinematographer Christopher Doyle is not to be missed on the big screen. (LG)


 In what year is Days of Being Wild set? Sixth correct answer wins a pair of tickets to the Mon 11.22 (5:30pm) screening.





  
ART
MoMA Reopens


when: Sat 11.20 (10am-10pm)
where: Museum of Modern Art (11 W 53rd St, 212.708.9400)
price:  FREE
links: Event Info
 
A treasure chest of modernism, MoMA reopens its Manhattan home after undergoing the most extensive rebuilding and renovation project in its 75-year history. Architect Yoshio Taniguchi's sleek design, which is highlighted in one of the opening exhibits, nearly doubles the capacity of the former building (featured here in the film series Made at MoMA, celebrating the institution's cultural presence). Two other shows also focus on the museum's expansion: Mark Dion displays artifacts excavated from the sculpture garden and demolished adjacent buildings, while Michael Wesely exhibits long photographic exposures of the project's evolution. The icing on the cake is the reinstallation of the permanent collection, a magnificent feat in and of itself. (PL)

Note: Last entry on opening day is at 9pm. Admission is free every Friday (4-8pm).


 What piece of modern art most moves you? Our three favorite answers each win a pair of passes to the brand-spankin' new MoMA.



  
MULTIMEDIA: Opening
Phiiliip: Divided by Lightning


when: Sat 11.20 (8pm-midnight)
where: Deitch Projects - Brooklyn (110 N 1st St, Wburg, 212.343.7300)
price:  FREE
links: Event Info | Phiiliip
 
Pouty, poetic electro-scenester and longtime K48 collaborator Phiiliip turns exhibition organizer, using the mechanics of the gallery to skirt the machinery of the music industry and independently fund his new album, Divided By Lightning. Opening night — doubling as a record release party — should be the most spectacular debauch in a month of tie-in events, including ice-cream socials, formal sit-down dinners, and bisexual orgies. But don't miss the music-video wall projections or the awesome album-inspired art, ranging from a custom drum-set by Terence Koh to an Anna Sew Hoy crown, assume vivid astro focus wallpaper, and contributions from designer Jeremy Scott, Boy George, Devendra Banhart, and others. (AM)

Note: The album contains a full-color poster, which serves as the show's catalog.




  
MUSIC: Electronic / Lo-fi
Carpark Records Showcase feat. Greg Davis, Signer, and Ariel Pink


when: Sat 11.20 (8pm)
where: Tonic (107 Norfolk St, 212.358.7501)
price: $10
links: Event Info | Carpark Records
 
Home to artists as diverse as Kid 606, Casino Versus Japan, and Jake Mandell, Carpark is one of a handful of domestic experimental labels to gain overseas recognition. The relatively small, New York-based independent started up in the late '90s and has been going strong ever since. Owner and sole employee Todd Hyman also releases tracks under the Acute and Paw-Tracks imprints, which together span all genres of electronic and acoustic music. Kicking off in Los Angeles, this 17-stop tour brings together three distinctly different artists — recent Kranky signing Greg Davis, Carpark's Signer, and Paw-Tracks' Ariel Pink — to help spread the word, delivering an evening of quirky IDM, dub techno, and sheer ambient sound. (KM)




  
MUSIC: Electro
Dance Idiot Dance feat. DMX Krew, Adam X, and Cowboy Mark


when: Sat 11.20 (10pm)
where: Music Gallery (49 Ann St, 3rd Fl)
price: $6
links: DMX Krew | Adam X
 
When electroclash collapsed under its own hype, it freed more than a few artists who should never have been lumped in with the phenomenon. London's DMX Krew, aka Ed DMX, was unceremoniously tagged with the electroclash label, despite the fact that he's been making a bedlam medley of electro, disco, and Miami bass since the early '90s. His earnest affinity for old skool hip-hop always set him apart from fashion-obsessed, amnesiac acts like W.I.T. and Crossover; instead of conjuring some whitewashed, New Romantic past, DMX's releases on labels including Rephlex, Ersatz Audio, and his own Breakin' Records, evoke a more multicultural '80s, in which hip-hop, freestyle, and new wave coexist in messy splendor. Tonight he's supported by Adam X and Cowboy Mark, with pixeltechnics from Paper Rad. (KT)

MUSIC: Avant Folk
Animal Collective w/ Gang Gang Dance


when: Sun 11.21 (9pm)
where: Knitting Factory (74 Leonard St, 212.219.3132)
price: $12
links: Event Info | Animal Collective
 
If Brian Wilson had the emotional support (and sanity) to indulge his most bizarre musical tendencies as a young man, we would have had Smile 30 years earlier — and then maybe something resembling Animal Collective. Darlings of Brooklyn's creative rock scene Avey Tare and Panda Bear are free-folk surrealists whose work combines avant-garde sonic experimentation with a childlike pop sensibility; their most cohesive album — this year's critically acclaimed Sung Tongs (Fat Cat) — imagines an otherworldly campfire sing-along, blending laptop electronica with intertwining vocal harmonies, tribal drums, and twin acoustic guitars. The songs are intricately textured, ranging from slow-building meditations to manic bursts of electro-folk, and the Collective bring the resulting mind-bending concoction to the Knitting Factory tonight, where they're joined by fellow noise adventurers Gang Gang Dance. (JPC)

Note: Oakley Hall opens.


 There's something unique about the song titles on Young Prayer, the recent solo album by the Animal Collective's Panda Bear. What is it? Tenth correct answer wins a pair of tickets to the show.





  
DJ
Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito


when: Mon 11.22 (11pm)
where: Table 50 (643 Broadway, 212.253.2560)
price: $5
links: Event Info | Bobbito
 
Known for their groundbreaking hip-hop radio act, DJs Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito ruled the '90s with their innovative rap mixes. The two met while working at Def Jam in the late-'80s, when their shared dream of hosting a hip-hop show was realized within a few months. Throughout their tenure at Columbia University's WKCR (89.9FM), they specialized in freestyle performances by (then) up-and-coming artists such as Nas, Jay-Z, Notorious B.I.G., and the Wu-Tang Clan. Stretch and Bobbito gave these struggling artists their big breaks, and in doing so, their DJ act became instrumental to the evolution of modern hip-hop. The duo reunites at Table 50 for some more of the now old-school flavor they helped define. (ER)






  
ART
Beatriz Milhazes: Summertime


when: Now through Sat 12.4 (Tue-Sat: 10am-6pm)
where: James Cohan Gallery (533 W 26th St, 212.714.9500)
price:  FREE
links: Event Info | Beatriz Milhazes
 
Brazilian painter Beatriz Milhazes layers organic emblems and decorative patterns into rich compositions that can take your breath away. The glazes, drips, scuff marks, and revisions of her sensuous sensibility merge into hedonistic bursts, like the grand finale of a fireworks display glued down on canvas. In Mariposa, Milhazes stacks turquoise, lilac, and fluorescent yellow over an institutional beige background, tying it together with matte black arabesques. In her collages, reflective Mylar and chocolate wrappers are sandwiched into floral patterns and simple geometries. Like the season she considers, this work excites our senses with its dazzling display. (RA)




  
PERFORMANCE
Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure


when: Now through Sat 1.8 (Tue-Sat: 8pm)
where: Village Theatre (158 Bleecker St, 212.253.0623)
price: $30 Tue-Thur / $35 Fri & Sat
links: Event Info | Dave Gorman
 
Comedian Dave Gorman is back with the hilarious tale of a true adventure that took him around the world three times, all in the name of googlewhacks — those rare instances when two words googled together (without quotation marks) return a single hit. Gorman's love-hate relationship with this phenomenon began after he discovered that his own website was a googlewhack, and that exploring such peculiarities served as a wonderful distraction from writing the novel he was under contract to complete. Luckily for Gorman, his fetish birthed a bestselling book and an award-winning one man show. He's a brilliant storyteller, and Googlewhack Adventure yields numerous positive results. (MB)

Note: Check here for the theatre's holiday schedule.


 Who coined the term "googlewhack"? Twelfth and 15th correct answers each win a pair of tickets to this show.



  
DESIGN
Design is not Art: Functional Objects from Donald Judd to Rachel Whiteread


when: Now through Sun 2.27 (Tue-Thur: 10am-5pm, Fri: 10am-9pm, Sat: 10am-6pm, Sun: 12-6pm)
where: Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum (2 E 91st St, 212.849.8400)
price: $10
links: Event Info
 
Exploring the relationship of art and design throughout the past 40 years, this sublime exhibit features furniture, lighting, tableware, carpets, and other functional objects made by 18 talented minimal and post-minimal artists. The venerable Donald Judd contributes several geometric pieces, including a stylish desk with chairs, while John Chamberlain goes soft with a cut-foam couch covered with a parachute. Robert Rauschenberg's Tire Lamp and Barbara Bloom's Lolita rug, modeled after a Nabokov book cover, add a bit of pop; Franz West's duct-taped table and chairs, Sol LeWitt's folding screen, and Jorge Pardo's glass floor lamps provide color; and Tom Sachs' Bitch Lounge imparts some allure. (PL)




  
THEATRE
Basil Twist: Dogugaeshi


when: Thur 11.18 - Tue 11.23 (schedule)
where: Japan Society (333 E 47th St, 212.832.1155)
price: $35
links: Event Info | Basil Twist
 
When most people hear "puppets," they think Sesame Street or Punch and Judy — but they've never seen a puppet show by Basil Twist. Arguably the best known and most influential puppeteer working today (his underwater hit Symphonie Fantastique is playing to rave reviews at the new Dodger Stages), Twist elevates puppetry to an art form. This week he premieres a new work at the Japan Society based on an obscure Japanese puppetry technique, dogugaeshi. Using elaborate sliding screens that fold and nest within each other, Twist reinterprets and reenvisions this traditional art form in his usual maverick style. (LAG)

Note: Buy your tickets now, as shows are selling out fast. On Fri 11.19, Twist and his collaborator Yumiko Tanaka discuss this work at CUNY's Graduate Center (6pm).


 What's your favorite dish to add a twist of basil to? Our favorite answer wins a pair of tickets to the 11.18 performance.






CD REVIEW: AM/PM, The Ends I & II
Dreck
Released October 2004
$16 (Forced Exposure)

If the USPS can partner up with Sub Pop's Postal Service project, some waste-management firm really ought to license Radovan Scasascia's The Ends I & II. Scasascia is a recycler par excellence: as Secondo, he gives lost electro-disco, both campy and classic, a second run via deft editing, and his AM/PM project is even more true to the mandate to reduce and re-use. As its title suggests, The Ends is composed entirely from other records' final notes and run-out grooves. Every tone — culled from piano, strings, and indistinct pops and whirrs — seems to disintegrate as it's played; each track's development runs apace with its unraveling. What distinguishes the album from so many other clicks 'n cuts concept records is Scasascia's fine compositional ear; like Murcof, he weaves gossamer threads into a sumptuous sonic fabric of surprising heft and density. (PS)

 
LADIES FIRST: Girls Write Now
Girls Write Now helps high school girls turn words into tools for self-expression. Of course, the creativity is already there, but it can take one-on-one mentoring to bring it out. Through the program, women with professional writing experience provide the kind of guidance and nurturing that schools often can't. Group workshops are also provided, giving the girls a chance to share with and learn from each other. As GWN is a nonprofit organization with no paid staff, volunteers are always needed and welcome. Visit the website for details on volunteering, to make a donation, or just to read the sassy-yet-sensitive accounts of how these girls see themselves and their world. You can also stop by and show support at the GWN fundraiser on Tue 11.16 (7-9pm) at Fiddlesticks (56 Greenwich Ave). (CM)
 
STREAMS: Music Exchange on KCRW
In terms of diverse programming, Los Angeles' KCRW could be considered a stateside cousin to the UK's BBC Radio 1 — now, however, an even closer link exists. KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic host, Nic Harcourt, and Steve Lamacq, of Radio 1's Lamacq Live, are linking up regularly to chat and (in Lamacq's words) play "transatlantic tennis." The DJs trade their favorite weekly discoveries back and forth, and given the quality of the music consistently selected by these two influential tastemakers, any act highlighted in the resulting segment is worthy of attention. Featured here as a small sampling are up-and-comers Bloc Party, the Helio Sequence, and Echelon. (CJN)
