I've recommended shows by various of Detroit Techno pioneers The Belleville Three over the last several months; now the leading member of the succeeding generation is in town.  Carl Craig has had a great last several years, creating many fascinating new projects, so this show is self-recommending.  Especially when there will also be a live set by Montreal's leading Dub Techno artist, Deadbeat.  And spinning by DJ Lisa Frank, the toast of D.C.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Japanese Ramen superpower Ichiran's Brooklyn branch usually has you slurp your noodles in solo booths, which this sociable gaijin finds mildly disturbing.  But, until the beginning of September, they're throwing a Japanese Festival, in which you can instead sit at a central communal table and play various Japanese games with friends and strangers.  Actually, this morose gaijin finds that a little disturbing, too.
