Hope you guys had a fun Thursday night, sorry this one’s so late! There’s still a lot of the day left though, so get out and do something fun! Anybody go to the Clermont book release thing at the W? Today’s list might be a little half-assed, since it’s already late, and I’m still hung over. I think I got most of the cool things covered though.

Under The Couch (350 Ferst Drive) over by Tech is hosting the Electronic Music Collective at 6:30, tech students will be showing off their EDM DJ skills all night.

At 7pm, BJ Novak from The Office will be at the Atlanta History Center (130 W. Paces Ferry Road) promoting his new book. Tickets are $40 and come with a copy of the book.

Also at 7, Structures + Surfaces is opening at the Whitspec at Whitespace Gallery (814 Edgewood Ave). No entry fee, and from what I can see online the art looks really cool.

Again at 7pm, The Fratellis are playing a free acoustic set at Criminal Records (1154 Euclid Ave NE), their show at the Masq tonight is sold out so this is a great opportunity to see them. JK, the Fratellis flight was delayed and this was cancelled. They will still be at the Masquerade tonight though.

The Atlanta Contemporary Art Center (535 Means St) is screening a Lou Reed Tribute at 8pm, they’re going to be showing rare early footage of the Velvet Underground, so that’s probably going to be awesome, tickets are $8.

The Mammal Gallery (91 broad street SW) is holding Broad Street Bash, six local bands playing down on Broad Street, doors at 8pm, $5 cover.

If you’re super into drum solos, The Wonderroot (982 Memorial Drive) is having Beat Off, 11 local drummers taking turns one-upping each other at drum solos, $5 cover.

At 10pm, the Beep Beep Gallery (696 Charles Allen Drive) is having the 34th installment of Invent Room Pop, “Six musicians are invited to play in duos and trios determined at random, with names drawn out of a hat.”

There’s loads of music tonight!

I’ll be going to Criminal Records for the Fratellis, and then after that the Mammal Gallery or the Beep Beep gallery both sound like solid choices. The Hospitality show at the 529 will be great, I’ve been enjoying their album a lot lately, but I don’t know if I want to pay a $10 cover. Emancipator at Terminal West would be enjoyable, and if I was in the area and had $10 that Lou Reed film sounds incredibly interesting.
