Lots of good music happening this weekend:

Tonight at midtown goth haven Downtime is the return of Motherf*cker, New York's most outrageous party. Rock, punk, glam, industrial, new wave, electro, you name it. The kids are beautiful, and the sound is good. Collapsing New People to the tee.

Standing Still Contest Saturday night at Frenchie's bar in Ypsilanti, MI (the quaint yet somewhat sketchy town just outside of Ann Arbor) features Todd Osborn, Blank 00 Soundsystem and our buddy Rob Theakston. "An Evening of Downtown Disco and Pogo for Punks in Pumps with an Ironic Title." (+ you should really read Rob's blog.)

Of course, if you're more of a city cat, UNTITLED is the place on Saturday in Detroit. The Motor City's most successful weekly club night with the coolest sponsors *cough* just gets better and better. Blackbx always throws a high quality evening of debauchery with pleasant surprises and this week is no exception. Brand new flyer right here. (Yeah, pretty much the only thing that's changed in the life of that jacket is my ability to grow facial hair.)
