Oldies Night is tonight!

Mission Mission on Tumblr (mostly a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Mission Mission) yesterday posted an mp3 of a rare track by the Shirelles called “I Met Him on a Sunday (1966).” When Primo played it at the last edition of Oldies Night, it blew minds. All over the dance floor. Expect more of the same, tonight at the Knockout.

Listen to the song in question here.

Hot new look for summer: Big frilly rectangle

Polite ‘thanks for not tagging’ sign tagged

The original note appears to be the work of the same woman and organization that posted that “unfriendly chemicals” plea a couple weeks back. Looks like friendly tactics just aren’t working.

(Thanks, Mark!)

New local music blog launches tonight at El Rio!

Night Fog Reader, our favorite new controversial local music blog, is having an official launch party tonight at El Rio. The event’s Facebook page has detailed details on all the participating entertainers, and you can RSVP and invite your friends.

Here’s a rad picture I took of Ryan Grubbs last fall:

What if your life was a videogame?

A group of teens just spent the last 14 weeks answering this very question, and the fruits of their labors will be on display at a gala opening tonight at the Lab:

Work by Brienne Hong, Shaye Hong, Anthony Truong, Kim Daniel-Richardson, Brendan Conklin, Glenda Maxine Zhu, Sloan Zhu, and Tatiana Ariza.

Music provided by DJ 50Cal

Please join us for the one-night exhibition/arcade, potluck, and celebration of “My Life The Video Game.”

“My Life The Video Game,” is a 14-week workshop where teens design, program, and produce video games, based on goals, challenges, and rules in their real lives. The workshop was developed and facilitated by Marijke Jorritsma in collaboration with the Lab and San Francisco Art Institute’s City Studios program.

RSVP and invite your friends here.

Public monster

And just like that, those beloved clinical proclamations of nether regions are gone, only to be replaced by this vicious purple window monster.

UPDATE: The monster has moved.

A word that I can’t understand

Spotted at Little Star.  Perhaps the Egg Bandit has moved across the street?

Civic pride

Everybody’s always giving Ohio transplants a hard time, but with this hot lid, Jen ensures no hater will muster the gusto to step to her. Well done, Jen.

Your ruler

415KING

Well, he does make a strong argument.

Motorcycle outside The Zeitgeist.
