Friday:
 • Like champagne and strawberries or Sonny and Cher, pairing the Guggenheim's RUSSIA! exhibit and Diplo's "baile funk" makes them each component a little better. Enjoy the duo tonight at Flavorpill's First Fridays shindig. [flavorpill]
• Tonight is different from every other night at the Mercury Lounge in that the performance of Holy Fuck will involve instruments you care about, like toy laser-guns. [Paper]
Saturday:
 • In honor of its provocative sex scene involving a table spread, bring a stick of butter to the Two Boots' screening of Last Tango in Paris, they'll hook you up with some free buttered popcorn. God only knows what the managers are planning with that dairy stockpile. [Paper]
• The Double hits the Bowery Ballroom with its "ascendant flutes and gentle guitar lines." Peter, Paul, and Mary open. [flavorpill]
Sunday:
 • The third day of the Times' Arts & Leisure Weekend series presents Hank Azaria, Bebe Neuwirth, and Goosebumps writer R. L. Stine, among others, with tickets still available for various talks. That was a nice way of saying, "All the good ones are sold out already." [NYT]
