To-Do: Dean Drummond's Newband, Fishbowl Cabaret, or Israelites

• "Harry Partch created his own 43-note intonation system and then handcrafted and altered instruments to play within it." 1 out of every 50 audience members will know what that means, but it doesn't mean that Dean Drummond's Newband concernt won't be fun. We think. [flavorpill]
• Monkey Town hosts Earl Dax's Fishbowl Cabaret video/performance tonight. If the queerness doesn't do it for you, we hear they have a complete reel of Tom Cruise on Oprah. A psychosis retrospective is never dull. [Monkey Town]
• NYU hosts "My Russian Grandparents and Their American Vaccuum Cleaner," a talk by Israeli author Meir Shalev. "My Canadian Cousin and their Guatamalan Dustpan" was sold-out. [Upcoming]
