1. For a music store as cool as Other Music you have to question why they're holding their 2nd Annual Holiday Party in the Meatpacking District of all places tonight. Then again, that could be a stroke of brilliance if you take into account how dead the city is in the days leading up to New Year's. [FreeNYC]

2. No idea what this is but "Slavic Soul Party" sounds too good to pass up. Someone please go to Brooklyn and report back. [Village Voice]

3. Beatles tribute band, The Fab Faux, play at Bowery Ballroom tonight. Tomorrow's show is already sold out so they must be good. [Bowery Ballroom]

4. Stay Inside Option: If you have Time-Warner Cable on-demand and never watched HBO's "The Wire" then get on it and start catching up!
