If you're keen on bitching to your new roommate how much cooler the corner bodega was before they started selling Crest Whitestrip loosies, we recommend becoming better acquainted with primary resources on New York's Recent Past. You can do this over the next two months at the Museum of Arts and Design, where curators Emily Armstrong and Pat Ivers have unleashed a vast video trove of seminal and rare New Wave, No Wave, and Punk video from their Go Nightclubbing Archive.
Each screening is an hour long, begins at 6 p.m., and will replay on loop until 9. All are pay-what-you-wish. Tonight is New Wave. Personally, we're holding out for Night of the Living Dead Boys on May 2: "This program features a single legendary Dead Boys concert filmed at CBGB's in 1977, when the band was at the height of their power—American punk rock at its most raw, honest, and urgent."
