Title TK w/ Cory Arcangel Architeuthis Walks on Land
Saturday 2/11 @ Issue Project Room
You may have caught Cory Arcangel's multi-media installation ProTools at the Whitney last year. Well now, you can hear the artist jamming along with his artist and writer buddies Howie Chen (known for his sound installations), and Alan Licht (writer) in a musical ensemble called Title TK, a band described as a cross between David Antin and Spinal Tap. You can here them chatting about Judas Priest and performing on Bennett4Senate's Awesome New Place show on WFMU here, and come out and see them live tonight at ISSUE Project Room, which having just hosted filmmaker Jim Jarmusch on guitar with Jozef Van Wissem, has become something of a home for the high caliber cross-pollination showcase. Joining them are improvisational noise band Architeuthis Walks on Land.

Today @ Westway
Vice, the magazine that's not afraid to flick a middle finger Anna Wintour's way, has literally gone to the dogs for its famed fashion issue, which is littering cities everywhere this week. An absolute page-turner for those who enjoy the mag's sardonic sense of humor and delight in the legendary "do's and don'ts," this crowning edition features a fabulous doggy fashion spread by Bryan Derballa, as well as articles on the history of hosiery and hats gay gals shouldn't be caught wearing. To celebrate the issue and usher in New York Fashion Week in typical far-fetched style, Vice is throwing a soiree, complete with a doggy fashion show. Of course, there's a list; it wouldn't be fashionable without one. To get on it, head here.
Today @ 3rd Ward

Learn how to recreate a Moroccan lentil soup, a hearty kale soup with a kick (thanks to lime and jalapeño), and a Guinness beef stew.
American Songbook: Bill Callahan
Today @ Lincoln Center
We would be happy campers if Bill Callahan's baritone was the last thing we heard before we went to bed at night. Barking up a tree similar to Drag City labelmates Bonnie "Prince" Billy and the Silver Jews, the indie crooner, formerly known as Smog, has been making music for over two decades. An enigmatic storyteller, Callahan's lyrical logs float in the deep river of Americana and indie-folk. His darkly funny laments on life, love, faith, death, and America are incredibly thoughtful and benefit from repeated listening. His last release from 2011, Apocalypse, was lauded by critics and placed on several year-end lists. Tonight, Callahan, guitar in tow, invites you to huddle by his smouldering fire as he harvests selections from his expansive musical catalog.
