Not too long ago Ronen Givony started the Wordless Music Series, which is pretty much just what it sounds like it would be. Sonic worlds collide and fuse classical with indie, jazz with electronic and listeners with instrumental-only music.

COMEDY: OMG, we get like so many creepy myspace friend requests but this one made us LOL. Actually, it’s two friend requests in one, from Braeson Herold and Alana Harrison. But they’re not just groveling for “the add”; they want us to come see their show called Fake Friends Tour! The title doesn’t really make sense, because they're not touring and whoever heard of fake friends on myspace? But the way they blog about it we think it could be hilarious, zany or, like, extremely annoying: “We are two separate solo shows that are joining forces to become the greatest night of introspective comedy EVER!!! We've got it all: dirty talk, gay jazz, celeb impressions and near death experiences! We even have a massage so shocking it will alter your posture for life! If you make us a hit, we promise to become your best fake friend FOREVER!!!” Add at your own risk. - John Del Signore

The play itself is an "autopsy of daydreams" and presents, among other things, a visit from a rock band dimensionalizing the polyphony of music, movement, text and image that is a history of the history of art and ideas. With music by Stockhausen, Kid Koala, Raymond Scott, Aphex Twin, John Williams and Big Yum Yum.

You're probably all saying, "Why go out after Gothamist's Movable Hype show last night? It's been done to perfection." That's a valid point, but the next week has quite a few worthwhile shows you should consider.

Seems like just about everybody in town is sick or still hung over from CMJ. If you feel like hitting the clubs this week, here's what you can see:
