Mr Lif
30 12 2009It’s no surprise that Boston’s best up-and-coming rapper, Mr Lif, has hooked up with Def Jux, the label run by ELP, a member of the acclaimed and established underground hip-hop group Company Flow. It’s not Lif’s first release – he put out a single earlier this year on the Beastie Boy’s Grand Royal – but it’s his most significant recording to reach stores. He’s celebrating with a release party at the Middle East featuring sets by Company Flow, Cannibal Ox, Illin’P, Fakts One and others.

Justo’s
29 12 2009Eight years ago Justo’s was a closed club, but one so famous that it is still talked of reverently now. Over the past decade it has gone through various reincarnations and since 1998 it has served partly as a Japanese restaurant and one of the main post-dinner haunts for celebrity stars. To cater for them, DJs and bands are imported and oddly every Tuesday afternoon it has tea ceremonies.

The Allan Miller Comedy Hour
28 12 2009If straight-forward observational comedy is more your bag, then stay away from Allan Miller’s show. It’s loud, brash and a little bit out of the ordinary.

Christmas Concert
27 12 2009The MATAV Symphony Orchestra will team up with the Magyar Radio Choir for a holiday concert at the Music Academy filled with Christmasy pieces. The programme calls for Corelli’s Concerto Grosso ‘Christmas’, Op 6. No 8, Tchaikovsky’s crowd-pleasing ‘Nutcracker Suite’and ‘The Bells’by Rachmaninoff. Kalman Strausz will lead one of the best classical music choirs in Hungary, and Andras Ligeti will conduct the top-notch orchestra. Given the theme and the cheap tickets this might be a good one for the kids as well.

Works of Wonder by Cervantes
26 12 2009The National Company of Classical Theatre’s delightful adaptation of works by the Great Man of Spanish letters is back in Barcelona after a brief but successful run in July. Directed by the leader of the Comediants theatre group, Joan Font, these five short farces provide a bawdy and satirical glimpse into 16th-century society. With extracts from ‘The Cave of Salamanca’, ‘The Jealous Old Man’and ‘The Altar of Wonders’, among other works, the sketches are vibrant visual poetry, portraying an outlandish world on ‘permanent moral holiday’.

Annual CineVegas International Film Festival
25 12 2009As Las Vegas emerges as a trendy outpost for Hollywood filmmakers, it also becomes a hotspot for film festivals, with CineVegas earning top billing as the best of the fests. Headquartered again at the Paris-Las Vegas resort, CineVegas offers dozens of international film screenings arranged in a variety of categories. The most compelling of these is ‘Complicated Women’, which examines the history of feminine portrayals in American film. Festival highlights include a screening of FW Mumau’s 1922 silent classic, ‘Nosferatu’, backed by the Las Vegas Philharmonic, and the première of Nicholas Cage’s ‘Shadow of the Vampire’.

LCR Party
24 12 2009The Leather Club Roma goes from strength to strength. After organising popular high-profile events at this year’s World Gay Pride, the group keeps the blue and black leather flag flying over the city with this Immacolata bank-holiday weekend bash. Venue is the cavernous Qube club, scene of last summer’s party, which, now that the weather is more conducive to heavy-duty boots and tackle, will probably be even hotter than July.

Just the Thing!: The Object in Contemporary Outdoor Sculpture
19 12 2009The indoor gallery exhibits at the DeCordova Museum are of such high quality that it’s often easy to overlook the fact that the grounds of the Museum are also an exhibition space. In addition to the permanent collection of sculptures that are always on display, the DeCordova presents a temporary, year-long exhibition called ‘Just the Thing!: The Object in Contemporary Outdoor Sculpture’, featuring works that incorporate everyday objects like furniture, clothing, household appliances and jewelery, by a dozen artists, including Meredith Bergmann, Shaun Cassidy, Ed Shay, and Leslie Wilcox.
