'Blow-Up' (OUTDOOR MOVIE) , Havana's outdoor movie series—in their parking lot on East Pike Street—presents the Michelangelo Antonioni (R.I.P.) hipster classic Blow-Up. A cool snapshot of blasé and swinging mid-'60s London (the bored-kid rock set from the Yardbirds is almost as casual as the full-nudity threesome), Blow-Up captures the sexier side of the countercultural revolution. Warning: There's an interminable and inexplicable mime scene at the end. Thankfully, you're at a bar. (Havana, 1010 E Pike St, 323-CUBA. 9:30 pm, $5.) JOSH FEIT

Sly and Robbie with Horace Andy (ROOTS) Without Sly and Robbie there is no hiphop. Drummer Sly Dunbar and bassist Robbie Shakespeare laid the rhythmic foundation for reggae in 1960s Kingston, recording on an estimated 200,000 tracks, from which sprang dub, dancehall, and, in the Bronx in the mid-'70s, hiphop. Their partnership with Jamaican vocalist Horace Andy goes back 30 years, and the three sound as vital in concert today as back when they were defining a culture.

I recommend heading over to Havana tonight, not even so much for the movies as for the really really comfortable chairs they have out (not joking! They are comfy!) and the diverse crowd. There are even couches in the back.
