RED EYE AT THE RED ROOM

By HILARY HUGHES

Saturday, Cafe 939 will host the first installment of Red Eye at the Red Room, a monthly series that seeks to showcase local musicians while doling out a due pat on the back to some of Boston's finest concert photographers. Presented by Agent Bishop, a Boston-based talent booker, the series' kickoff will feature sets from Neutral Uke Hotel, a ukulele-only outfit that covers Neutral Milk Hotel, and the debut performance of the Michael J. Epstein Memorial Library, brainchild and recent project of the Motion Sick frontman.

DORCHESTER

I'm a born-and-raised Bostonian, but as much as I'd like to play the streetwise townie, the project of writing up Boston's largest and most diverse neighborhood was daunting.

PENAL CODE

A few nights ago, I got drunk and knocked on my roommate's door and confessed my attraction to him while he was lying in bed in nothing more than his skivvies.

MACHETE

A .44 magnum opus

Back in 2007, Machete was nothing more than a bang-bang-shoot-'em-up trailer that ran before Grindhouse, the blood-soaked, blockbuster double feature from Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. In two minutes, Rodriguez makes a modern-day Mexican revolutionary out of Danny Trejo by offering up a plot rife with the tension of the illegal immigration controversy in the southwestern United States.

JAMAICA PLAIN EAST

Amidst laundromats and auto-glass garages of east-side JP, you'll find more than just that dead-of-winter house party, to which a roommate once dragged me despite fierce reluctance to the promise of stale beer; there's also a cemetery.
