Pencil This In

EVENT: Every time a new song by Madonna, Bloc Party or...anyone really, come sout - it's pretty safe to say it'll be remixed within a week. Tonight DJ Spooky discusses the art of the remix at the Apple Store. All you need is a little imagination, some knowledge of modern sampling and production techniques and, of course, a Mac.

6:30pm // Soho Apple Store [103 Prince St] // Free

THEATER: Off-off-Broadway and schlocky B movies: is this not a perfect combination? If you didn't think so already, check out Sexadelic Cemetery: A Bizarre $cience Fantasy, one of the shows opening at the tail end of the Brick Theater's $ellout Festival http://www.bricktheater.com/The%20$ellout%20Festival.html. Jeff Lewonczyk, co-director of the Brick and the festival itself, also wrote and directs this show, which takes place on a vampire sexploitation film set and that is "part love letter to the trashy cinema of the past, part imaginary fantasia on the Sixties, and part satirical commentary on commercialism" -- in short, a terrific head trip. - Mallory Jensen

Brick Theater [575 Metropolitan Ave] // Tonight at 7, Thurs. 9:45, Fri. 7pm, Sat. 10:45, Sun. 5:15 // Tickets via Theatermania

ART: Trash: What We Value and What We Throw Away is an exhibit displaying 82 works of art concerning, well, trash. What we keep, what we don't and we're guessing all those things we keep that we shouldn't. Check it out, the show opens tonight. And on July 11th Garbage Land author Elizabeth Royte , Eric Goldstein of the NRDC, Reverend Billy & the Stop Shopping Gospel Chior will be a part of a panel discussing the topic even further.

6pm to 8pm (opening reception) // Atlantic Gallery [40 Wooster St, 4th Fl] // Free

MUSIC: Tonight a stellar quadruple bill takes over Mercury Lounge. The Grates, The Lovely Feathers, Tokyo Police Club and Persephone's Bees will entertain you with their sonic goodness for as long as you can stand.

7:30pm // Mercury Lounge [Houston @ Essex] // $10

And of course, we hope to see you at our comedy show tonight!
