If you put a gun to my head and made me tell you what I thought was the most significant pop single of the last quarter of the 20th Century, Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" would be very strongly in the running:  it was a more valid and compelling integration of Minimalism and pop/dance music than anything theTalking Heads came up with, for example.  Giorgio Moroder was, of course, the auteur of that momentous single.  Hard to know exactly what this show will be like.  Among other things, lots of special guests are promised.  The only one we know of for sure is Le Tigre's JD Samson, who will only add to the fabulosity of the proceedings.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Not that it's easy to get in or anything (maybe easier on a Sunday?), but Red Sauce Revival spot Don Angie is one of the Restaurants Of The Moment.  Not having been yet, I can't comment on whether their food lives up to their Instagram feed (the very fact that the question arises makes me skeptical).  Pete Wells seems to think it does.
