Event List 12.12.05

The Nightlife Is Dying update: Dark Room was shut down by police last week; not sure what ended up as the violation cited. I have yet to read the last Time Out, which was all about New York’s dying nightlife. You can see pictures of this past Saturday’s Misshapes at Don Hill’s here – seems like it was a success, but then again, these photographers could make a dog run look like the Playboy Mansion.

Listen to the DFA1979 cover of Bloc Party’s “Luno” here, then buy the whole VICE Gets Incestuous EP. Bloc Party covers Chromeo’s “Needy Girl” – fucking amazing - while Chromeo remixes Death From Above, and MSTRKRFT remixes DFA and Panthers. Yes, yes, and yes.
