Friday:

• Only two of the original New York Dolls are playing tonight at South Street Seaport, but they do so for free. A quintessential economic tradeoff, as it were. [Paper]
• Too soon for big Hollywood's commercial exploitation of September 11th, you say? Check out the 9/11-themed hip-hop ponderings of former X-Ecutioner Rob Swift at the Beautiful/Decay Release Party. It's not crass when it's indie — it's "edgy." [flavorpill]

Saturday:
 • This week at Warm Up, Canada's own Mathew [sic!] Jonson, arguably "one of the finest classically trained musicians in electronic music today." No argument from us. [flavorpill]
• If ever you were looking to attend a sit-down dinner at the home of NBC news anchor Chuck Scarborough, here's your chance. If nothing else, consider the $350-a-plate (minimum) charge your last chance to check out Katie Couric's sticks before they're covered up for good. [Upcoming]

Sunday:
 • Over-under on when, "I've had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!" overtakes "I'm Rick James, Bitch!" as the most overused catchphrase of all time: two days ago (we're as guilty as the rest, we know). You're still seeing the movie, though. [Fandango]
