26/04/08

It's Saturday night, the Discovery channel is showing something dreary about the internet but there's no need to sit around watching that smut. So why don't you turn off the TV, go out, and do something less boring instead?

Pop Ivan (Concert)

Pop Ivan - the name of a Romanian mountain, or a man called Ivan who plays pop music? Well, there is a Romanian mountain called Pop Ivan, and there is a man called Ivan who plays pop music (probably), but neither will be warming up in Siraly's cellar for a Mediawave appearance in Győr. Unlike these experimental jazz rockers...

2 Days in Paris (Film)

Művész, all week, 21:30
Teréz körút 30 [map]
Pest, VI, Teréz körútT4/6), 1 min

Julie Delpy is much more than a pretty face... not only did she write, direct, edit, co-produce and star in this new comedy, she also did Adam Goldberg's hair and fetched the croissants in the morning (citation needed). It's very likeable, in English and French, with subtitles where necessary. Reviews here.

Kollektiva (Club)

Trafó Bar Tango, 26th April, from 10pm, 600 ft
Liliom utca 41 [map]
Tel. 456 2040
Pest, IX, Ferenc körút (M3), 3 min

Fluowankaz. Hmm. Not what I would have called myself, if I were a 'heavy bassbin ghetto biznizz' dj. But, then I'd probably list myself as living in a more sensible place than 'Cracktown, Poland' too. Kollektiva closes out its winter session with a night of electro, indie and house in Trafo's basement. Theirspace there and there.

Lajos Csontó: Common denominator

Last chance! The individual and the community: how do they relate? Lajos Csontó asks the questions with his slightly skewed photography. Skewed by symbols, words and white lines. All pieces are on sale too, so put a few extra forints in your wallet.
