Sun. Aug. 28- 7”s to Freedom!

A unique DJ salon, where anyone can spin.

Show up with your platters, sign up your name only on the list, order some food & drink while you wait, play 3 tracks in a row & sign up again after you’re done. 7"s only is the main rule - 33 or 45rpm is okay, but we don’t want DJs up there for 15 minutes at a time, so please keep it to one song/track if there’s more than one on a 33 rpm. And no scratching! No genre specifications, no DJ egos, nothing but a love for vinyl and having a good time. Always the last Sunday of every month.

@ Blackbird Buvette (509 Central NW, between 5th & 6th) 6pm-late, FREE

Tues. July 12- Low Life with DJ Caterwaul

“Low” as in downtown, underground, lowdown’n’dirty. Expect some deep psych, garage, punk and freaky, funky rock, with plenty of curveballs in the mix as well. Come on out, grab some grub, have a few drinks, and dig in! It’s every 2^nd AND 4^th Tuesday nights of the month, right after Geeks Who Drink. Perfect for the before/after hangout if yr checking out the Burt's show!

@ Blackbird Buvette (509 Central NW, between 5th & 6th) 9pm-1am FREE 21+

Sat.-Tues. July 9-12: New Wave Cinema/No Wave Rockers & more

Blank City (dir. Celine Danhier, 2010, 95m): the long-overdue tale of a disparate crew of renegade filmmakers who emerged from an economically bankrupt and dangerous moment in New York history! In the late 1970's and mid 80's, when the city was still a wasteland of cheap rent and cheap drugs, these directors crafted daring works that would go on to profoundly influence the development of independent film as we know it today.

Directed by French newcomer Celine Danhier, BLANK CITY weaves together an oral history of the “No Wave Cinema” and “Cinema of Transgression” movements through compelling interviews with the luminaries who began it all. Featured players include acclaimed directors Jim Jarmusch and John Waters, actor/writer/director Steve Buscemi, Blondie’s Debbie Harry, hiphop legend Fab 5 Freddy, Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, photographer Richard Kern as well as Amos Poe, James Nares, Eric Mitchell, Susan Seidelman, Beth B, Scott B, Charlie Ahearn and Nick Zedd. Fittingly, the soundtrack includes: Patti Smith, Television, Richard Hell & The Voidoids, The Contortions, The Bush Tetras, Sonic Youth and many more. View Trailer – this looks like it’s gonna be incredible.

@ The Guild Cinema (3405 Central NE) 3:30/7pm each day, see website for more info.
