What with our marches and tea parties, we think the D.C. voting rights movement is plenty hip. But the folks at DC Vote are constantly looking to be just a little more risqué, and they're looking for help to do so. Want to be a fly girl (or boy) for voting rights?

DC Vote has teamed up with local group, D.A.A.S. Wuz Up Entertainment, to produce a music video that sheds some light on DC's denial of democracy. Please join DC Vote staff, local supporters and local musician, Joe L. Da Vessel, for the "Demand the Vote" music video shoot, this Saturday, August 2. Joe L. has created a go-go song exclusively for DC Vote. Now we're shooting a music video to accompany it, and we need your help!

Between her stellar voice, aggressive riffs and critical praise, recent Three Stars alum Carol Bui has given us plenty of reasons to pay attention. But for those who haven't yet caught on, here's another one: she's just finished a video for "Modern Dance," directed by former Let's French guitarist Maxwell Sorensen.

Their debut album has been out for almost two years and somehow the outside world is only just getting to know them as that band that has that backward music video on YouTube. However you know them, Mute Math (or TBTHTBMVOYT, for... short?) is hitting up Sonar in Baltimore tonight for an evening of art rock/post rock/electro rock/whatever the hell music snobs and critics want to label it as. The band has come a long...

As it gets closer to Halloween for LAist, a contributer recollects her tale of staring down the serial killer, Richard Ramirez, otherwise known as the Night Stalker. Must think happy thoughts -- okay, free organic chocolate chip cookies for Los Angeles -- now that's a happy thought. Other happy Los Angeles thoughts include an interview with Jack Kehler of The Big Lebowski (he was the Dude's landlord), a beautiful and magical photographic moment in Venice...

Saddle Creek Records was kind enough to let us offer DCist readers a couple of free MP3s in honor of the first Georgie James music video, which just hit the Internets for the first time yesterday. Sure sure, you're busy listening to the new Radiohead album you just downloaded this morning, but go ahead and download these while you're at for later listening. They're free, after all. Both tracks are from the band's recently...

YouTube user northeastcentral edited together this little music video ode to the Chinatown bus to Sufjan Stevens' song "Chicago," writing:

Just two days and counting until Unbuckled 6 is officially upon us, D.C. To whet your appetites a bit, we've asked both bands to answer a few hard-hitting questions leading up to their performance at DC9 this Wednesday. Today we bring you wisdom from The XYZ Affair's Alex Feder, and the band's latest music video — which is completely and totally awesome, if the words "physical challenge," Pete, Ferguson or Budnick mean anything to you....

MONDAY >> This is a grand week for Three Stars Alums. First up, we have the magical lyrics of new-wave pop rockers LeJeune(***) playing D.C.'s beloved Fort Reno Park. Also playing tonight are Pup Tent and Engine Room. Show starts at 7:15 p.m., free. >> Next in line, take in the Dischord-influenced sounds of Cataract Camp (***) as they play the backstage at the Black Cat. Back in 2006, we predicted that this band would...

From the tallest skyscraper in the City of Brotherly Love to Canadian tourism copywriting brilliance, here's what you should know from our -ist cities: This week, Phillyist took a gleeful listen to the White Stripes' exciting new release, watched in awe as their new tallest skyscraper was finally completed, found a cheaper way to get to Gothamist, invented a tasty new dessert, and brought back their Craigslist Round-Up feature with a bang. Bostonist watches...

Tonight, the D.C. theater community will descend on Warner Theater, decked out in tuxes, kilts, ball gowns and whatever else the artsy crowd comes up with to approximate “black tie” attire. It's the night each year they get the chance to party their brains out and recognize the outstanding contributions they've made this year; it's the Helen Hayes Awards. As busy theater critics with day jobs, we don’t get the chance to attend and review...

This has been a rough week for your -ist pals, though you wouldn't know it from the great posts all over the network. Plagued with server problems, our tech team (led by the great Neil Epstein) toiled around the clock to solve the glitches as they arose. Seriously, we've said, typed, and thought the phrase "server problems" more in the past week than we have for the last 35 years combined. Why not say it...

. And in the case of Synetic Theatre's gothtastic, gyrating and graphic production, we're happier for it.
