French electronic producer and Tiger Sushi label founder Joakim Bouaziz released Monsters & Silly Songs in February, making a huge leap from his previous efforts. Having remixed Air, Annie, Stereolab and Fischerspooner, along with two previous albums that stayed true to the French electro genre, Monsters brings elements of post-punk and pop to the mix. Tonight at Axis, Joakim plays a DJ set in lieu of the live band he’s taken on tour (The Ectoplasmics) for the last few months. You can expect a toss of techno, house, and synth-disco alongside Boston duo DJ Die Young and Djezus, who’ve recently started the minimal techno saturated Slumber Party. Die Young has been DJing the Boston circuit for some time now, but his strongest talent is in his remixes, which mix the elements of electro, house and hip hop into the roots of rock and synth tracks. What’s next? “I kind of want to do a really deep minimal mix though. I'm tired of all of the bloghouse shit. Everyone is playing the same stuff these days.” Well said. Also spinning is Boston-based Damien Cuvelier (also French!) of Robot Love Songs.

There was a time and a place when Bostonist kept missing upcoming shows in the area because we were too busy to pay attention. Along came Tourfilter. A locally based website (now with worldwide reach) that allows us to take a look at upcoming shows based on the information provided by the venue. Each and every day they let us know who's coming to town, where they'll be, and which of our friends are tracking the bands. Recommendations, suggestions, and tracking hits help find out what might be this week's hit that we've never heard of before. Suggestions, of course, are always welcome – and since we first reported on them significant changes have been made to improve the site for the better.

In a world where there's nothing to do but watch movies. In a city full of theaters, museums, and libraries. One moviegoer who can be in three places at once.

Wednesday, June 28, 2006 Superman returns to the big-screen. Bostonist had big plans about using Super-this and Super-that to promote the contest we're running. But we can't, it's forbidden. Not too bad, we'll just Photoshop the Bostonist logo into his chest emblem. Damn. Can't do that either. Let's keep this whole thing simple. Preview the newest release in the Superman franchise, Superman Returns, next Monday, June 26, in a pre-release screening at Loews Boston Common. Bostonist will be giving away pairs of tickets to the contest – fill out your info below and you'll be notified by email if you're a winner. Some fun facts about Superman: he grew up in Smallville, Kansas – Brandon Routh (the actor) grew up in Des Moines (where they know him as BJ). The Man of Steel was born Kal-El on Krypton and is in no way related to Nicholas Cage, that's a different Kal-El. The Fortress of Solitude might be a great place to catch some relief from the heat – it's located in the Artic.
