DEC 14 - DEC 20

Somewhere in the cul-de-sac of your frontal lobe, you probably carry a long-lost memory more blacked-out than a declassified Defense Department document. Think really hard: yes, that fuzzy image enveloped in shame is last year's company holiday party. Well, it's time to say "happy goddamn holidays" by living it up with your colleagues and embarrassing yourself all over again. But why not expand your horizons? This week, you can crash parties aplenty, from Drag City's Xmas affair to an evening with the "Martha Stewart of Drag," and from the Insound Hanukkah Party to one seriously Unsilent Night. Put a lampshade on your head, make a toast, and spread it...

READING
Cupcake feat. Nell Freudenberger, Dika Lam, and Katherine Lanpher


when: Tue 12.14 (7:30pm)
where: Lolita Bar (266 Broome St, 212.966.7223)
price:  FREE
links: Event Info | Nell Freudenberger
 
Nell Freudenberger's acclaimed debut collection of short fiction deals neither with shoe sales nor weight loss, making her an exception among young, published women writers of late. Instead, the American expats of her Lucky Girls grapple with love and personal history in relative isolation while living abroad in Asia. Freudenberger reads alongside Dika Lam, whose forthcoming novel bridges a similar geographical gap. Afterward, journalist Katherine Lanpher moderates a discussion between the two authors in this latest installment of the Cupcake reading series, which combats the prevailing chick-lit trend by showcasing New York's best female literary talent.

PERFORMANCE
WYSIWYG: Happy Goddamn Holidays


when: Tue 12.14 (7:30pm)
where: P.S. 122 (150 1st Ave, 212.477.5829)
price: $7
links: Event Info | P.S. 122
 
How does a cynical and darkly funny web-geek reading series deal with the holiday season? Why, by going musical of course! This month's WYSIWYG Talent Show at P.S. 122 explores the cheery theme of "Happy Goddamn Holidays!" with their first all-musical event. Ukulele/glockenspiel duo the Hazzards ("Gay Boyfriend") and a barrage of anti-folksters, including Dan Fishback, Phoebe Kreutz, and Jessica Delfino, joined by Jonny Goldstein, Matt Kingston, and members of the Gotham Gay Chorus. As always, all featured performers have their very own blogs, so you can read up on their thoughts about the show the next day. (JA)


 What word processing function did the term WYSIWYG originally refer to? The first two correct answers each win a pair of tickets to this show.



  
DJ
Rude Movements feat. Kindred Spirit w/ KC the Funkaholic and DJ Antal


when: Tue 12.14 (10pm)
where: APT (419 W 13th St, 212.414.4245)
price: $8 / $5 w/ RSVP
links: Event Info | APT
 
This week, NYC's Rude Movements are joined by their Dutch doppelgangers for a celebration of all things soulful. DJ Antal is known for compiling and mixing the stellar Chicago Boogie, containing some of the most important cuts from house and acid house's formative years, while KC the Funkaholic made his name as a rare grooves, funk, and soul DJ. Together, they are key players in the Amsterdam-based Kindred Spirits sound system, bringing the above styles, plus jazz, disco, and Brazilian beats. Fans of Mr. Scruff and Gilles Peterson's eclectic worldwide sound, check it! (CJN)


 Which DJ/producer mentioned in this issue appears on the KC the Funkaholic Presents Bassline Laidback Sound Sensation mix? The tenth correct answer wins a pair of tickets to this show.





  
LECTURE: Art
Robert Storr: Soul Dizziness


when: Wed 12.15 (6:30pm)
where: New York Studio School (8 W 8th St, 212.673.6466)
price:  FREE
links: Event Info | Robert Storr
 
Tucking an errant strand of hair behind his right ear, Robert Storr brings a stylish thoughtfulness to contemporary art discourse. The distinguished critic is a persuasive and painter-friendly voice, and the selected curator for SITE Santa Fe's ongoing fifth biennial, Disparities and Deformations: Our Grotesque. Tonight, Storr gets his freak on as he discusses the grotesque tradition and its contemporary practitioners, including, among others, John Waters, Jenny Saville, Peter Saul, Alexander Ross, and Lamar Peterson. (RA)




  
READING
Blake Nelson, Elizabeth Bachner, and Paul Fattaruso


when: Wed 12.15 (8pm)
where: Happy Ending (302 Broome St, 212.334.9676)
price:  FREE
links: Event Info | Paul Fattaruso
 
As if writers didn't put themselves out there enough, Amanda Stern offers yet another opportunity to do so with the Happy Ending Reading Series, where the challenge for authors is to take a public risk (reading in public doesn't count). This time, adolescence-chronicler Blake Nelson (The New Rules of High School and Girl), sci-lit first-time novelist Paul Fattaruso (Travel in the Mouth of the Wolf) and Elizabeth Bachner read. Previous performances have seen authors engaging in spelling bees and making candy onstage. Tonight, poet Todd Colby guest hosts, and music is provided by Americana rocker Andrew Vladeck. (GC)




  
PERFORMANCE
The Rejection Show feat. Jonathan Ames, Matt Goldich, and Stuckey & Murray


when: Wed 12.15 (8pm)
where: P.S. 122 (150 1st Ave, 212.477.5829)
price: $7
links: Event Info | Jonathan Ames | Matt Goldich | Stuckey & Murray | P.S. 122
 
A clearinghouse for creative dumping, the Rejection Show puts getting the thumbs down where it belongs — in the limelight. Born on the heels of a failed relationship, the show premiered in 2003 with performers such as Colin Quinn, SNL writers, and New Yorker cartoonist David Sipress. The event highlights material both dissed and dismissed, including founder Jon Friedman's "Santa Claus and the Jew." True to its maxim, "Just because it's rejected doesn't mean it's not good," the show, which is held every third Wednesday at P.S. 122, continues to attract an audience that can relate. Tonight, Jonathan Ames, Matt Goldich, and Stuckey & Murray perform. (DC)


 What are some of the slogans that Jon Friedman uses on the T-shirts he sells? The first two responses to correctly list at least five each win a ticket to this show and one of the T-shirts.



  
MUSIC: Noise-Rock
Insound's Hanukkah Party w/ Turing Machine and Measles Mumps Rubella


when: Wed 12.15 (9pm)
where: Rothko (116 Suffolk St, 212.475.7088)
price: $5
links: Event Info | Insound | Turing Machine
 
Industry rule #4,080: record company people are shady. Just ask New York trio Turing Machine, one of the city's best bands, but perpetual pumpkins at the deal-signing ball. Now on Frenchkiss Records, Turing Machine's just-released second album, Zwei, pairs prog-metal and disco-glam on kick-ais songs such as the well-titled "Rock.Paper.Rock." (Bonus trivia potpourri: Turing Machine's 2000 debut was the DFA's first-ever production. File it, nerds!) Opening are Measles Mumps Rubella, a noisy DC band whose constant NYC presence suggests a first-aid kit full of Chinatown bus miles, and Psychic Ills, about whom we got bubkes. (YS)


 Who was the inspiration behind Turing Machine's name? The first two correct answers each win a pair of tickets to this show.





  
DISCUSSION
A Conversation w/ the Weinsteins and Quentin Tarantino w/ Reservoir Dogs


when: Thur 12.16 (7:30pm)
where: Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters, MoMA (11 W 53rd St, 212.708.9400)
price: $10
links: Event Info | Quentin Tarantino
 
Blowhards though they three may be, it would be foolhardy to dismiss entirely the tremendous impact Miramax founders Harvey and Bob Weinstein and director Quentin Tarantino have had on independent film. To herald the studio's silver anniversary, the brothers and their golden boy gather to discuss the swath they cut, and to screen clips from Miramax's finest fare, including the whole of Reservoir Dogs — Tarantino's first, and arguably his best. Ostensibly about a bank robbery gone awry, the film single-handedly wrenched indie movies off the analyst's couch, launching a postmodernist genre marked by nonsequential editing and blatant references to other films. Expect plenty of bluster — but also the goods to back it up. (LR)


 What are the three top-grossing box office successes for Miramax? The first to correctly answer wins a pair of tickets to this event.



  
MUSIC: Nuevo Tango
Tango meets Jazz Festival w/ the Pablo Ziegler Quartet and Stefon Harris


when: Thur 12.16 - Sun 12.19 (7:30 & 9:30pm)
where: The Jazz Standard (116 E 27th St, 212.576.2232)
price: $25-30
links: Event Info | Pablo Ziegler | Stefon Harris
 
Tango's 20th century journey from the dance hall to the concert hall was guided by Nuevo Tango originator Astor Piazzolla, a towering figure in modern composition. Pablo Ziegler was the pianist in Piazzolla's famed quintet for more than a decade, and in the years since, Ziegler has kept the fire of Piazzolla's maverick work alive via loving performances and his own like-minded compositions. Since working with the master to fuse the rhythms and soul of the tango to the sounds of post-bop jazz and Western classical music alike, Ziegler has continued to extend the idiom. This week's shows find his quartet jazzed up by local luminaries David Sánchez (saxophone) and Stefon Harris (vibraphone). (PDS)

Note: There are also late shows on Friday and Saturday (11:30pm). Sánchez appears Thursday and Friday, Harris on Saturday and Sunday. Check the schedule for times.


 What was the specific type of instrument that Astor Piazzolla mastered? The first correct answer wins a pair of tickets to one of the Pablo Ziegler Quartet performances.



  
MUSIC: Singer/Songwriter
Joseph Arthur w/ Joan as Police Woman


when: Thur 12.16 (8pm)
where: Bowery Ballroom (6 Delancey St, 212.533.2111)
price: $15
links: Event Info | Joseph Arthur | Joan as Police Woman
 
Joseph Arthur's latest release, Our Shadows Will Remain, is a denser sonic affair than past efforts from the innovative singer/songwriter, but perhaps better conveys what it's like to see the man play live. On stage, Arthur is a true one-man band. Working with nothing more than an acoustic guitar and an array of effects, he builds his songs, layer upon layer, by successively playing and looping the individual parts, from percussion to guitar riffs to vocal atmospherics. Employing everything from electronic harmonies to backwards guitars, he single-handedly creates an intense symphony of melody and sound. Recent collaborator Joan Wasser (aka Joan as Police Woman) precedes Arthur with a set of her own, as well as accompanying him on violin and backing vocals. (DL)


 Who runs the record label that Arthur released his first album on? The fifth correct answer wins a pair of tickets to this show.



  
DJ
BPM Holiday Party feat. King Britt


when: Thur 12.16 (11pm)
where: Cielo (18 Little W 12th St, 212.645.5700)
price:  FREE
links: King Britt | Cielo
 
From DJing for "Rebirth of Slick"-era Digable Planets to crafting soulful house, hip-hop, and techno on his (and Josh Wink's) Ovum label, King Britt has more than left his mark on all things funky. With recent side projects like Sylk 130 and Scuba (with Vikter Duplaix), he has also had the opportunity to indulge every one of his vinyl and dance floor urges. Tonight, Britt graces Cielo's decks for current label Fivesixrecordings and BPM magazine's holiday party with the help of vocalist Michelle Shaprow. Anticipate a full range of urban music, beautiful, knowledgeable people, and sweat. (BB)






  
MUSIC: Soul / R&B
Ronnie Spector's Xmas Party


when: Fri 12.17 (7:30pm)
where: B.B. King Blues Club & Grill (237 W 42nd St, 212.997.4144)
price: $35 / $30 advance
links: Event Info
 
In a near-canonical piece among bloggers, writer Marcello Carlin calls Ronnie Spector's ballad "I Wish I Never Saw the Sunshine" the "cruelest performance ever imposed by a producer on an artist in pop history." The producer in this instance was her husband, a man who would later be accused of murder, and one of the 20th century's most celebrated figures: Phil Spector. Locked away by her spouse after he forced her to leave the Ronettes, Ronnie's career was in ruins when she and Phil finally split in the '70s. Yet 30 years, a few hits, and one Joey Ramone-produced EP later, it's Christmastime, and she could be your baby tonight. (YS)




  
PERFORMANCE
Cul-de-Sac


when: Now through Sat 12.18 (8pm)
where: P.S. 122 (150 1st Ave, 212.477.5829)
price: $20
links: Event Info
 
The fundamental challenge of a one-person play is for the actor to not only capture, but also sustain the audience's attention. In Cul-de-Sac, Daniel MacIvor jumps back and forth among nine distinct characters, roaming the imaginary lengths of a suburban neighborhood on a particularly eventful night. It would be a gross understatement to say that MacIvor simply maintains the viewers' interest; his vigorous character transformations and animated storytelling keep the thrill of this well-crafted human comedy lingering long after the gripping climax. (SP)

Note: There is also a performance on Sun 12.19 at 5pm.


 What was Daniel MacIvor's first feature film? The third and fourth correct answers each win a pair of tickets to this performance.



  
DJ
Danny T's Holiday Classics Reunion Party


when: Fri 12.17 (10pm)
where: Spirit (530 W 27th St, 212.268.9477)
price: $30 advance
links: Event Info
 
It's the holiday season all right, but these "classics" won't be of the "Let It Snow" variety. We're talking dance classics — the ones Danny Tenaglia spun during his Twilo residency circa '96-'97 and his legendary Be Yourself weekly at Vinyl/Arc. Since Arc was swallowed up by million-dollar condominiums last year, Danny's been playing heavy-hitting one-offs; and tonight's party should be one for the books, seeing as it's also a reunion of sorts at Twilo — er, Spirit. Plus, with the freshly installed Steve Dash sound system (Phazon, anyone?), the venue treats us to crystal clear, chest-thumping sound for the first time since "the day." (CEH)

Note: $5 off admission with the donation of three or more cans of food for City Harvest.






  
PERFORMANCE
Unsilent Night


when: Sat 12.18 (6:45pm)
where: Washington Square Park Arch (5th Ave & Waverly Place)
price:  FREE
links: Event Info
 
Unsilent Night returns with the spirit of a more revelatory, less commercial Christmas. As hundreds of people join in a procession, boomboxes play a selection of Phil Kline's sumptuous work at full volume, bells ring, voices come together, and a joyous ambient sound reaches up to the heavens, spreading joy from Washington Square to Tompkins Square Park. Forty-five minutes and over a mile later, the sound dissipates dreamily, providing one final chance for pause and reflection by the blissful revelers before a cheer of joy goes up and the madness of the city and season crash back in. (AD)

Note: Email Phil Kline in advance to get a tape made if you wish to use your own boom box in the performance. Non-boom box carriers are, of course, also welcome.




  
DANCE
Mikerline Dance Company


when: Sat 12.18 (8pm)
where: Satalla (37 W 26th St, 212.576.1155)
price: $20
links: Event Info
 
The sensuality, passion, and excitement of Haitian drum and dance rituals are deeply-rooted in African and voodoo traditions. Not unlike other forms of tropical movement and custom, such as Brazilian capoeira, Haitian folkloric dance is a powerful, even sacred, response to surviving the oppressive conditions of slavery. The result is an intense, authentic, and compelling performance — not to mention a colorful and energetic display of joy and freedom. Don't be surprised if you find yourself drifting into a trancelike state, helped along by the powerful percussion. (JM)




  
DJ
OM Records Release Party feat. JT Donaldson


when: Sat 12.18 (10pm-5am)
where: Sullivan Room (218 Sullivan St, 212.252.2151)
price: $20 / $10 w/ RSVP
links: Event Info | OM Records | JT Donaldson
 
Santa arrives early as JT Donaldson drops into the Sullivan Room with a record bag full of house goodies for NYC girls and boys. On tour for the fifth installment of OM Records' acclaimed San Francisco Sessions series (which he mixed with Lance Desardi), Donaldson should have the dance floor bumping with his deep, jazzy sound. Whether working solo, recording with Desardi as the Undercover Agency, or with Tim Shumaker as 2nd Shift, Donaldson is one of the most sought-after remixer/producers in house music today. With giveaways from OM Records, free issues from XLR8R, and drink specials all night, it looks like we were all very nice this year. (AMC)

Note: Local faves Beverly Chills and Sleepyface & DJ Boo from Basic NYC support on the decks.


 What other three compilation series does OM Records release? The first to correctly name them all wins a pair of tickets to this show and a copy of Donaldson's new San Francisco Sessions CD.





  
ART
Columbia University Visual Arts MFA Open Studios


when: Sun 12.19 (3-6:30pm)
where: Columbia University (various sites)
price:  FREE
links: Event Info
 
Following the success of internationally recognized graduates such as David Altmejd, Columbia's visual arts program has attracted a truly eclectic mix of backgrounds and nationalities, with many students already accomplished around the globe by the time they enroll. Take advantage of the program's open studios to view the freshest work from Israeli photographer Yoav Horesh, Russian wunderkind Dasha Shishkin, or nomadic graffer Tenzin Wangchuk; amongst those using new media and the Internet to transcend both geographical and conventional boundaries are Lynne Chan (through her suave alter ego, JJ Chinois) and David Dempewolf (via his web-filtered collective Basekamp). Catch them here while you can — who knows where they'll be next. (AM)

Note: Studios located at three different Columbia sites are open at three different times: Studebaker Building (3-4:30pm), Prentis Hall (4-5:30pm), and Watson Hall (5-6:30pm).




  
MUSIC: Indie Rock
Drag City Xmas Party feat. Joanna Newsom, (smog), and Weird War


when: Sun 12.19 (8:30pm)
where: Bowery Ballroom (6 Delancey St, 212.533.2111)
price: $15
links: Event Info | Drag City | Joanna Newsom | (smog) | Weird War
 
With equal adoration for experimentation and beautiful melody, singer-songwriter Joanna Newsom melds whimsical wordplay and ethereal harp arrangements into playful narratives of owls, milk, and whalebones. Her balmy sighs sail through delicately woven layers of childhood and antiquity while she rhymes with wild abandon to turn her modest verses into jewels of genius. If Newsome's peculiar musings aren't spooky enough, the cryptic confessions of Bill Callahan, the man behind the lo-fi cloud that is (smog), should make you quiver yet. Ian Svenonius (formerly of the Make-Up and Nation of Ulysses) opens with the retro-psych-rock of his band, Weird War. (LCB)

Note: Drag City requests that all attendees wear a sweater with a knit cap or scarf.






  
MULTIMEDIA
ITP Winter Show


when: Mon 12.20 (5-9pm)
where: ITP New York University (721 Broadway, 4th fl South, 212.998.6796)
price:  FREE
links: Event Info
 
This gadget-rich, digital exhibit at NYU appeals to the new media junkie in all of us. Tonight, over 100 students from the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) show off their projects and passions — from interactive art and voice recognition devices to extended music paradigms and immersive environments — while onlookers get the chance to soak up the cutting-edge creativity. While you're here, be sure to check out ITP's permanent installation, Daniel Rozin's mesmerizing Wooden Mirror, located just next to the elevator. (JM)

Note: This exhibit is also open on Sun 12.19 (2-6pm).




  
PERFORMANCE
Brini Maxwell: Home for the Holidays


when: Mon 12.20 (8pm)
where: Fez (380 Lafayette St, 212.533.2680)
price: $17
links: Event Info | Brini Maxwell
 
With Martha Stewart unavailable to dispense social etiquette advice this holiday season, what's a dilettante reveler to do? Fear not! Brini Maxwell sashays to the rescue, bearing helpful hints and making sure you don't embarrass yourself under the mistletoe. Dubbed the "Martha Stewart of Drag" back when that was considered a compliment, Ms. Maxwell hosts her own Style Network show, disseminating kitsch to America, one tasteless home at a time. For her holiday variety extravaganza, expect some timely banter and music, as well as a live PSA for her favorite charity, Toys for Tots. (SP)






  
PHOTOGRAPHY
Louise Lawler: Looking Forward


when: Now through Thur 12.23 (Tue-Sat: 10am-6pm)
where: Metro Pictures (519 W 24th St, 212.206.7100)
price:  FREE
links: Event Info | Louise Lawler
 
Examining the art world from the inside out, Louise Lawler's pictures slyly comment on the processes of exhibiting and collecting. The subject of a recent 20-year survey at the Museum für Gegenwartskunst in Basel, Lawler has made a career of going behind the scenes to reveal transitional moments in installation and marketing — necessary evils in a seemingly pure world of aesthetics. For this show, the artist penetrated the exclusive realm of art fairs in Basel and Miami, and at the Museum of Modern Art, Christie's, and various galleries. Her chance encounters with works by Maurizio Cattelan, Gerhard Richter, Yoshitomo Nara, and others produce strange, poetic juxtapositions and formal arrangements that are simply sublime. (PL)




  
FILM
Holiday with Preston Sturges


when: Fri 12.18 - Sun 1.2.05 (various times)
where: American Museum of the Moving Image (35th Ave at 36th St, Astoria, 718.784.0077)
price: $10
links: Event Info | Preston Sturges
 
Collecting seven films from writer-director Preston Sturges' golden years at Paramount (plus one wild card, Unfaithfully Yours), AMMI provides an apt introduction to a body of "classic" work with which many cineastes remain woefully unacquainted. Screwball comedies just don't come any better than the hoodwinked (and winking) love story of The Lady Eve, starring a kind-but-conniving Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda as an endearing lunkhead. Other standouts include the self-reflective hijinks of Sullivan's Travels — which managed to simultaneously anticipate and inspire both Adaptation and O Brother, Where Art Thou? — and The Palm Beach Story with Claudette Colbert. As that exquisite early film actress put it, "You have no idea what a long-legged gal can do without doing anything." But Sturges did. (JKG)







CD/DVD REVIEW: Wire, On The Box: 1979
Pink Flag
Released October 2004
$20.99 (Insound)

Wire's refusal to give the audience what it wants (i.e. cheap nostalgia for nostalgia's sake) is virtually legendary; on a US tour a few years back, they employed a cover band to play their older material because they couldn't be bothered. It's therefore surprising that they've issued a DVD/CD containing a complete concert from 1979, taped for the German TV show Rockpalast. Focusing almost entirely on material from their seminal Chairs Missing and 154 albums, this terse and tension-filled performance finds Wire at the height of their powers — aggressive, challenging, and provocative. While some might gripe about the omissions in the set list (no "Outdoor Miner" or "Reuters"), most Wire fans will agree that this is an important document from one of punk's most essential bands. (KM)
 
LITTLE BIG TOP: Big Apple Circus
Barnum & Bailey it ain't, but that's part of the fun of the Big Apple Circus. The motley crew rolls into town for its 27th season with Picturesque, a sense-stimulating, colorful production. Much like an old-school, more intimate Cirque du Soleil, BAC conjures up the circus the way it used to be: not all glitz and glamour (smoke and mirrors), but honest entertainment for the whole family that relies on performative skill. The international lineup includes a Mongolian trapeze artist, a Swiss contortionist, Chinese jugglers, an English equestrian expert, a variety of trained birds, dogs, cats, and clowns. (JKG)
 
STREAMS: Fabric
Not content with just providing DJs with one of the world's best venues for forward-thinking dance music, Fabric's taken things a step further. The superclub's record label features exclusive sets from its residents and others who they think are pushing the envelope in mixing and/or production skills. There are no mandated play lists and no outside interference; just DJs with a box of tunes for your listening pleasure. Here we have the Freestylers' exclusive radio set previewing their urban breakbeat sounds, followed by Nitin Sawhney's South Asian breaks and electro-fusion. Finally, Jacques Lu Cont (of Les Rhythmes Digitales fame) throws down a playful party fusion of disco and electro. (CJN)
