Last night (Thursday-10/30/08) I attended the Tokyo Police Club live at BU Central.

I fancy myself a music connoisseur, but I am unfamiliar with Ontario, Canada's Tokyo Police Club.  These indie-rocking canucks have made quite a name for themselves, the highlight of their career thus far is opening for Weezer on their current North American tour.  Now I'll admit that Weezer

Tickets will go on sale Wednesday at 9am in the Mayer Campus Center

Students sit among daisy-chained televisions, amplifiers, candles, and incense upstairs in house of experimental musician/installation artist pair Rod O'Connor and Adam Tinkle. The two performed a recent work for friends at their house at the end of the semester. (House of O'Connor and Tinkle)

Public Art Initiative and Exposure (Wesleyan's student photography journal) organized an art show on May 2nd of student work in a variety of media including photography, video and sound installation, sculpture, drawing, and painting. (200 High Street, Eclectic House)

Modern Skirts musical group (somewhere)
Modern Skirts, a band from Athens, is playing on Friday at 40 Watt, the place to get your groove on. They will be donating $1 from every ticket to GLOBAL ENDEAVORS. It'll be a good show and it's for a good cause; so, if you're in the area, you should go!

Looking for a break from finals? Well, what could be better than calling a random chick and watching pathetic MTV shows with her in her dorm room?

This girl is way too excited about "I Heart New York" and exclamation points on her (open) facebook invite:

The peculiar-smelling basement bakery on Broadway (great salads and rolls, orange booths from the 70's...) will host The Evens on Tuesday night!

No, you haven't heard of them... but you've heard of Fugazi, that awful grunge band from the 90's... and Ian Mackaye is the Evens guit... MORE »
