LA Record's Chris Ziegler is deejaying the Long Beach Museum of Art's After Dark series tonight, and he made an art mix that you can download here. There are some gems in there–Mission of Burma's “Max Ernst,” about the Dadaist purveyor (and cleverly incorporates the movement in its lyrics); there's Modern Lovers' “Girlfriend” (hey, love is more important than art?); and rarities such as the Embarrassment's “Hip And Well Read.”
There will also be live music from post-rock improvisationalists Tiger Tank Euphoria,
lo-fi popsters Sweater
Girls, and
Miniature Houses.

On view at the LBMA galleries are A Light in the Shadow –
Decades of Art by Women (60 works of art by women from LBMA's
permanent collections) , Chronicles of Collecting, Stories
from Our Legacy, and Selections from Collectors Circle
Acquisitions.
The Long Beach Craft Mafia will be presenting live demos, and if you ride
your bike to the event, you'll get a voucher good for one free
appetizer or drink.
