The IST LIST Mid Week Update!

It's a sign that we live in a good town that, halfway through the week, there are a bunch of new things to do that we want to share with you. There are so many things happening in the next few days that we're having a hard time deciding what to do.

That is a lie. We're going to go to see Ghostland Observatory on Thursday night at The Velvet Spade for the Fischerspooner CD release party.

But if a hottt dance party filled with beautiful people is not your style, check these out:

He uses a looping machine to create whole songs in real-time right in front of you... layering all these harmonies and vocal turntables and vocal instruments over his beatboxing.")
