Can You Get It Up?
My esteemed college over here at FreeNYC sent this one right over to me saying "this was a lindsay post" and well, it is. Graffiti, hip hop, block party, sounds about right. I think it's best if you guys just check out the above flyers...

"With a hypnotic wash of feedback drenched guitars, keyboards, and looped synth percussion, The Double find their way to pop perfection. Catch this performance of one of New York's most innovative new bands."

Come to Socrates Sculpture Park and sample regional cuisine from neighborhood restaurants, picnic on the grass as the sun sets over the city, enjoy performances by local musicians and dancers and, as the sky darkens, see exceptional international films on a large format screen - all set against the spectacular backdrop of the Manhattan skyline. Tonight, see Pather Panchali, from India. The tough life of a poor Benegalese family is dramatized with great realism and humanity by Ray, in the first and most powerful film of his "Apu Trilogy," featuring music by Ravi Shankar. Directed by: Satyajit Ray. (swiped from Socrates Sculpture Park) Date: August 24th Posted by at 07:00 PM | TrackBack | Email to a friend 'Sup with Cliktrax
Throughout the summer, Cliktrax has been invading the Soho Grand and doing a sort of chill-out multimedia session with DJs and video projections. Best of all, they have been doing it outdoors on the lawn. Tonight is the final one of these events and Gordon Hull/Daniel Jacketson from Surface2Air will be DJing. The drinks are a bit steep in the swanky Grand but snag your flask and relax on the lawn.

"Alright, alright, alright" Dazed and Confused is one of my all time favorites, and today I get to watch it outside by the water. In case you have never seen it, the movie chronicles the last day of school for a bunch of kids in 1976. Of course that night there are tons of parties featuring hook-ups, drinking, pranks and you know, just a little pot smoking here and there.

But because they managed to mention Ministry in the email today, it made the list. So here's the deal. Screw all that bubblegum pop from the 80's and endulge your darker (and sadder) side with DJ Mister X spinning Siouxie, Bauhaus, the Cure, Ministry and more. Maybe if you are lucky there will be some Front242, Nitzer Ebb, and KMFDM (please sir thank you). Open bar from 9 - 10 gets you in the mood.

While Cut, FreeNYC's favorite Friday night party is on hiatus, its good to see those kids get involved with the Blu Jemz and Roger Yamaha CD release Party for the new album, "Rush." [Now with free Red Stripe from 10 - 11. - Ed.] Date: Wednesday, August 24th Posted by Lindsay at 10:00 PM | TrackBack | Email to a friend Bang!Bang is probably the only weekly I keep writing about. Maybe because of the open bar. Maybe its because its packed week after week. Whatever the reason, if you have not checked it out by now then this may be the week to do it.
