Friday:
 · Repellent Magazine's got a new dance party in town. DJs and electronic heads abound. Rothko's the spot. 8:30's the time. [Repellent]
· Nothing like a potty-mouthed, thieving, alcoholic Saint Nick to piss all over everyone's burgeoning Christmas cheer: Bad Santa, Billy Bob Thorton's spiteful ode to the holiday season, plays at Landmark's Sunshine Theater tonight at 12. [Landmark]
Saturday:
 · Frank Black's scary now, but they still rock: the Pixies play at Hammerstein tonight. And tomorrow night. And pretty much every night for the next week. As of right now, there's still a few tickets available for the stragglers. [Ticketmaster]
· Six American hairdressers went to Afghanistan to teach Afghan stylists (ha) how to cut and color hair. They also filmed it. See the movie and ask the director, "um, why?" in the question and answer session that follows at Makor tonight. [92Y]
Sunday:
 · Jersey's finest indie man, Ted Leo, brings his Pharmacists to the Bowery for a sweaty set. [Upcoming]
