1. Downtown for Democracy, although its name might suggest otherwise, does not involve blowjobs from interns. Instead, James Chance, Enon, and Brainiac offspring Gang Gang Dance perform at White House Noise, the latest emaciated Hipster swipe at knocking our beloved President off his pedestal. [UPDATE: or something like that. "Enon that has ex-members of Brainiac (John Schmersal), not Gang Gang Dance. Although Gang Gang Dance is former members of Cranium," says a reader. Wha huh? Heh.] Wait! And Excepter! Yay Excepter!
2. Take your pick: rub shoulders with obnoxious NYU students from the Midwest today at Webster Hall, or obnoxious trust fund Brooklynites tomorrow at Volume [Update: Not at Warsaw. Volume. They got their permit, we hear]. Either way, go see what all the fuss was about 8 minutes ago as Glaswegians Franz Ferdinand take the stage.
3. We were never ones to complain about free booze or dope beats: get both at the Triple 5 Soul vs. Body as Billboard launch party, featuring whiteboy-with-soul Diplo from the Hollertronix on the ones and twos.
