Think techno is just mindless noise for rich European teenagers strung out on E with nothing to do at 3 am? Think techno cuts deep to the amygdala and triggers the emotions that make everyone human? Think techno is a brand new trend - like "the internets" and "the Facebook" - that all the kids dig, but you just don't get? Think techno is something Bostonist made up just a few short seconds ago? Well, does IFFBoston have the documentary for you.

DJ David Day MAKE IT NEW Thursday, November 1 Middlesex Lounge 315 Massachusetts Ave. Cambridge, MA 21+ / 9:00 pm - 2:00 am / FREE MySpace: Make It New This has been an incredibly eventful year for the youth in Boston's club scene, and it's about to experience another resurgence.

Bostonist Pick: Ballermore Has Arrived .::. Shake 'Em Down @ Milky Way (Thurs) Bostonist has some good news for you: this is going to be an easy weekend on the liver. The bad news is that your two days of drinking, dancing and staying up into the wee New England-established hours begins tonight. There are two main events invading our city on the 4th, and first up is Shake 'Em Down, a dance party...

Spring is here, which means its time to dust off your pleather, latex underwear, and everything in dark lace. Since early March, when Lauren DeVain started hosting Black Magic at Shine in Kendall Square, the night has moved to Axis ID Club (upstairs) to accommodate the growing number of followers and devotees in attendance. Ever since Manray closed its door in 2005, Boston's dark underground has been trying to find its niche again - the undead of electro, goth, and industrial waves. Bringing in Justincredible, Mistaker, and David Day to spin sleazy disco, industrial, goth-rock, and dark trance. Even better, there is no stuffiness or dress codes. All are welcome.

It comes up every now and again. The idea that somehow Boston and Bostonians want to be New York or New Yorkers invades us from the South. Sure, the big apple has it's charm but we've got our reasons for living here in Boston and we don't need it to replicate New York. The New York Times recently featured an article on Tony Goldman, a man credited with inventing SoHo, and his efforts to redevelop Fort Point. And perhaps try a new name on for size:

Mr. Goldman said he intended to rebrand the quarter as the Boston Wharf District, and construction of the first phase of his project, which begins in March, entails creating 87 condominiums at 316-322 Summer Street. A second phase, scheduled for construction next year, will add 150 to 200 more. The price of the apartments will be about $400,000 to over $1 million, with an average price of about $500,000. Within five years, Goldman Properties also plans to create about 90,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space, said Albert Price, a managing director of the company.

The article concentrates on the similarities of Fort Point and SoHo and gives a hat tip to the South End for starting some of the SoHo-esque development (you know, SoWa) Goldman hopes to continue across the Channel from downtown. Bostonist shares the apprehension some from the Fort Point Cultural Coalition have expressed – Fort Point is already a neighborhood, trying to make it one is just forced. More less than affordable condos will surely crop up, and it was floated that some original cobblestone and railroad ties will be uncovered as part of the "new" neighborhood's charm.

There must be calm before the storm this week. We can only imagine that our favorite local folks are saving up their energy so they can rock it big into the new year. There are certainly a few great shows on this week's agenda, don't get us wrong. But since we have a minute to take a moment to look at Gridskipper's post they tacked to the bathroom wall last week: "The Mighty Mighty...

The debacle that was Hot Stove, Cool Music last week has made us ready for a week of good music. The debacle in that it poured so hard they had to move the whole thing under the bleachers (inside). The sound quality was poor and James Taylor pulled a rock star move and only made the stage for a single song because he didn't have enough space. This week we're looking forward to cooler...
