On Wednesday nights in Allston at Common Ground, friends of Bostonist host iPod DJ Night. Music starts and sign-ups start around 9, and people get 15-20 minutes to play whatever they want from their mp3 players (it's not exclusively iPod so bring your iRiver). Common Ground is at 85 Harvard Ave.
This party was written up in the Globe and Herald last week, and is slowly growing to a decent size. Nights like this are huge in DC and NYC, so far this is the first of its kind in Boston.
iPod DJ night is a good way to impress strangers with your good taste, disparage others bad taste, and hear some new mash ups or rare b-sides. If you are like Globe writer Christopher Muther, and your tunes get dismissed, don't cry in your Stella.
