As far as I'm concerned, thingNY are it, a group of just the composer/performers I want to hear composing and performing just the kind of music I want to hear:   pop-inflected vocal classical with all the formal rigor and intellectual acuity of the best classical with all the stylistic inventiveness and immediate appeal of the best pop.  Here we get a new piece by band member Dave Ruder and another piece by band members Gelsey Bell and Erin Rogers.  You really really should go to this.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Smash hit Filipino fast food import Jolibee.  It's most loved for its burger -- which might look just like everyone else's, but when youtaste it you'll know you're not in Kansas anymore.  I would also be remiss if I didn't point you to the Station Bar, as divey a bar as you could imagine.
