The only excuse for not going to see Eva Zeisel at the NYC Historical Society tonight [see Olivia's post yesterday] is going to the SOHO Apple Store to see Richie Hawtin perform as part of the nationwide iPod DJ media extravaganza [see Dave's post from Tuesday.] A gentle reminder that Apple has hooked up with some of our bestest friends and favorite record labels for this 18 city, simultaneous event. Those in Motown should be at Somerset Mall (I refuse to call it "Somerset Collection") in Troy to see Ghostly's Matthew Dear and SV4, a.k.a. Sam Valenti, Master of Chopsticks and Turtlenecks. Other Ghostly artists perform around the country, including Kill Memory Crash in Oak Brook, IL. Schematic Records represent all over Florida, the highlight being Otto Von Schirach at Wellington, outside of Palm Beach, and Kooky Scientist Fred Gianelli will perform in suburban Boston. Techno has taken a long, strange path from abandoned warehouses to shopping malls, hasn't it?

If you miss Rich at the Apple Store, make sure to get over to Filter 14 in Chelsea, where he and Magda will be doing that thing they do with records and laptops which few can match.
