THEATER: Harold Pinter’s taught two-hander, Ashes to Ashes, is running through Wednesday at the intimate Paradise Theatre in the East Village. The cryptic 45 minute one-act examines a refined couple’s quiet life at home, with the usual brutality menacing just beneath the surface. In a previous interview, Pinter blamed the male gender for the cruelty dramatized in his work, insisting that “God was in much better trim when He created women.” - John Del Signore

FILM: The Maple Ridge Wind Farm in New York, is the centerpiece of this film which taps into (pun! intended!) the similarities between wind energy and maple syrup production. Learn more about using local sustainable resources for the common good. Now if only there was a film about that mysterious maple syrup smell from last year...

READING: Bret Easton Ellis will be reading from his sort of autobiographical novel, Lunar Park, tonight. He won't tell you what's true and what's fiction, but who really cares? Let's just be glad American Psycho wasn't a memoir.

MUSIC: Brooklynites The Secret Machines take over Irving Plaza this evening. We can't really picture this band there for some reason, seems too boxed in for a such a "big" (sounding) band. And for $27, their fan David Bowie better show up and sing his entire catalogue. Check out a clip from one of their shows, above.

That's kind of a loose use of the term Brooklynite. Current Brooklyn residents? It's just kind of misleading because other press characterizes them as a Texas band.
Not that it matters. I like The Secret Machines. Just wanted to point that out.
Brooklynite = Stove pipe jeans, track bike, pladshirt and a trust fund to pay there lofty fees.
Oh and an avid starbucks drinker
the secret machines put on an incredible show last night. they performed in the round at irving plaza - which was weird because it actually meant that far fewer people than usual could ge crammed into that room but it was something pretty amazing to see.
just called B&N in union square about the alleged Bret Easton Ellis reading and they said it's Michael Lewis tonight, not Bret Easton Ellis. what gives?
