Our good friend Dan Selzer informs us of that Simon Reynolds, author of Rip It Up and Start Again: Postpunk 1978-84, will be speaking tonight about New York City during the postpunk era and the crossover synergy between the downtown art world and the downtown music scene.

Also tonight in NYC, Ghostly International reminds us that Mobius Band is performing with with Editors and Stellastarr* at Warsaw. Word has it that last night's sold out show was quite the bomb, so we advise getting there early and checking the Warsaw site for more info.
