A night in Hollywood to spin you around: ► The RSVP-only It's a School Night at Bardot is starting the new month off strong — Daniel Lanois & Rocco DeLuca , great at the Satellite a few weeks ago, headline, and L.A.'s Bleached will rock it too. Most intriguing, though, is U.K. newcomer Michael Kiwanuka , who's released two EPs on Communion Records (run by Mumford & Sons' Ben Lovett) and who is planning a U.S. full-length in the spring. Kiwanuka was to have opened for Adele before her vocal problems [...]

Earlier this week we rallied Manhattan Murder Mystery to take advantage of the publicly available instruments in the brothers Os Gemeos' installation and rock out the Art in the Streets exhibit at the MOCA Geffen Contemporary, downtown. Below you'll find video taken by Amy Darling of them playing "Parking Lot." The exhibit is free every Monday thanks to Banksy, and every Thursday from 5-8 as well. We'd love to see more people do the same. You have until the exhibit closes on August 8th (be warned—the instruments may be out of tune and there is no mic). Visit [...]

More than one participant — and even the attendees felt like participants — at Saturday night's Tribute to the Movies likened the affair to an Irish wake. There were songs and drinks and tears and photos and video projections, and all of it was very good, if not cathartic. The Movies , beloved Silver Lakers whose uncompromising music ("post-punk on a new wave bender," I wrote once) won plenty of fans and probably should have won more, are gone now, their mercurial lead singer Timothy James now ensconced on the other coast. But their irony-laden tunes lived on through [...]
