Today in Stranger Suggests

posted by on February 12 at 10:30 AM

Bring Your Own Projector
(VIDEOS) So, the concept behind the monthly event Bring Your Own Projector is that you lug your own, um, projector (Super 8, video, whatever) into the basement of the Alibi Room. Then everyone points his or her cinematic treasures at the wall at the same time to produce a wild visual cacophony. The concept of this BYOP theme night is that you bring only fitness videos—homemade or commercial, DVD or VHS—and “excessercise!” Workout gear encouraged. (Alibi Room, 85 Pike St, #410, 632-3180. 8 pm-midnight, free, 21+.) ANNIE WAGNER

Camera Obscura
(MUSIC) What can I say? I like their music. I’ve listened to 2004’s Underachievers Please Try Harder probably 1,000 times. Especially the song “Teenager.” (“He was uncomplaining as a tree/Not a thing like me.”) They are the size and approximate sound of Belle & Sebastian. And they are also from Glasgow, which Daniel Dafoe once called “the paradise of Scotland.” You should go to this show with someone you want to do sweet things to. (Neumo’s, 925 E Pike St, 709-9467. 9 pm, $12 adv, all ages.) CHRISTOPHER FRIZZELLE

The other Camera Obscura was way better. Different I know, but way way better.
