ART: Art, fashion and blogs meet tonight at the Met. In an exhibition entitled blog.mode: addressing fashion, viewers will be able to comment on what they see. It's "the first in a series of shows designed to promote critical and creative dialogues about fashion. The exhibition presents some forty costumes and accessories dating from the eighteenth century to the present." Visitors are then encouraged to share their reactions online or from a "blogbar" of computer......

HEADS UP!: We love Daniel Kitson, it's been documented, so we wanted to give you a heads up that our favorite British comedian is coming back to the States! He has three shows in December at Union Hall (the 2nd, 3rd and 4th), and tickets are ON SALE NOW for two of those dates. It'll be the best $8+fees that you ever spent. ART: The Brothers Grimm fairytale Hansel and Gretel has taken over the......

DANCE: Since the Copacabana is closed for now, get your dance on under the night sky. WhatsUpNYC tells us that every Monday through July 23rd (though the NYC Parks site says through August 13th), the Parks and Rec department will conduct Dancing Under the Stars. Get dance lessons from the experts at American Ballroom Theater, then grab a partner and tear up the dancefloor. 6 to 7:30pm // Directions here // Free MOVIES: It's a......

EVENT: NYC Photobloggers will take over the Apple Store again tonight, for the 7th of their events there. The A-list...um, list, of past photographers is a long one. Six more will join the ranks tonight, as they are the centerpieces for this event. They are: Jay Parkinson of darkshapesprowl.com Kevin Walsh of forgotten-ny.com Kara Canal & Amit Gupta of photojojo.com Ed Leveckis of leveckis.net Matt Weber of urbanphotos.com Justin Ouellette of chromogenic.net Gothamist is sponsoring......

For some reason there doesn't seem to be a lot going on this week. Tonight Cold War Kids take over Pianos, catch them there before they're headlining Bowery (and then having that show switched over to Webster Hall to accomodate all of their fans). What we're trying to say is...there is buzz. There are plenty of shows to go to Tuesday night incase you missed out on Yeah Yeah Yeahs tickets (which you should be......

R.U.O.K. is: Jared Apuzzo - Drums Keith Kelly - Guitar/Vocals Jeff Labarbera - Bass Mike Murphy - Guitar R.U.O.K.'s epic sound draws from many apparent influences such as The Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails and Radiohead, but the end result is distinctly their own. Rarely do we come across an unsigned band with such a professional sheen to them. It's hard to believe that their three beautifully produced albums were all self-released. They already......

We're not that in to the mustache sans beard. Sure, when accompanied by other facial hair it's okay...but the solo 'stache is just creepy for some reason. But whether we like it or not, the mustache is making a comeback this December. Filmmaker Jay Della Valle will host the independent premiere of The Glorius Mustache Challenge, a documentary that dares men under 30 to grow a mustache for one month. The rules of the challenge:......

We don't know where to begin with show recommendations this week. Emily Haines is in town with her band Metric for shows at Bowery Ballroom and Southpaw. Today Pitchfork declared the new Broken Social Scene album, on which she appears, "best new music." Broken Social Scene's new label-mates, The Most Serene Republic, are opening both shows. Then there's the Decemberists. Back in town once again, they're also playing two shows - Webster Hall tonight......

MUSIC: Tonight at Crash Mansion there's a free show and a free open bar...and for a good cause. Morning Theft, The Cloud Room, My Victoria, and The Rats will all perform for a second part of a benefit for Kia Nowotne. As an added bonus we hear our favorite artist, Michelle McShane, will be joining the Cloud Room for a few songs, playing autoharp. Open bar for 1 hour between 9-10pm. Stoli is sponsoring the......

Friday the 13th stopped being scary for us when we were younger, rebellious and declaring things like "13, in fact, is our lucky number". We embraced the superstition and turned it in to our lucky day. Or, as it turns out, just another day. Anyway, we were hoping that some theater in this city would be showing Friday the 13th: Jason Takes Manhattan, but no such...luck. You'll have to deal with these other non-scary events:......

There's a lot going on this weekend, as per usual. While we didn't celebrate Cinco de Mayo last night, nor were we at the New Order show...we are finding ourselves a little bit tired today. We blame the weather and lack of caffeine in our system, so we're hoping the sun will come out and we'll be able to motivate to some of these events: FILM: The Arlene's Grocery Picture Show is returning this Saturday.......

Gothamist is in Austin at the moment, but we've still got our finger on the pulse of the city we love most (that's you New York). This weekend while we rock, roll and get tans you are welcome to do one of the following (and we'll promise not to show off our sun kissed skin when we get back). Styleaholics Productions Presents possibly the best/worst idea ever. The Closet: "Overdosed on Style" provides a dual......

Today is a red letter day in the emerging field of, um, digital secret keeping date-related cool free stuff. If you're a fan of Wilco, then please, read on. If you're not, either become one like a good little music fan or skip the next paragraph. If you throw in your copy of A Ghost Is Born and click on the enhanced material you'll be able to download the new Wilco EP starting today. And......

We'll have a full list of April and May shows coming up soon, there are A LOT to cover. We find it somehow comforting that we're already buying tickets for shows in the springtime ... we're ready to thaw! Moving on, so as not to repeat ourselves here is last month's sell outs list which has tickets that are still on sale for upcoming shows. And as for the below list we have starred the......

Gothamist is happy that people are still raising money for the Tsunami victims, so we wanted to draw some attention to upcoming events. Tonight Halycon Records [located at 63 Pearl Street in DUMBO] is having the opening party for an arts show that will run through March 20th. 50+ artists will be selling their work for $100 and under. If you can't head over tonight for the open bar, deejays and collaborative painting project, then......

Poor Leif Garrett. Unfortunately, we just don't see a real future for this former teen idol who performs tomorrow at Crash Mansion* (tickets go for a bargain basement $11). Of course we watched the Behind the Music that detailed his struggles over the years and tearful reunion with friend Roland Winkler, but it didn't inspire us to download his screensaver or purchase a ticket to see the remains of his once golden mane. Garrett's......
