It’s the weekend! Go do things! What things, you say? These ones!
E@RLY: Rock N Roll “Flea Market”
For all the music nerds (like me) who frequent dark clubs, there’s finally an event that’ll boost those low vitamin D levels and provide a live music fix. Hosted by the UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive as part of the popular L@TE night series, this daytime party, on Sunday, May 12, will gather music fans to swap vinyl and CDs and check out local bands. A record swap is exactly like it sounds: Choose a record and leave one behind. Tables will be set up to facilitate the swapping, plus the ‘zine Maximum Rock’n’Roll, 1-2-3-4 Go! Records, and other organizations will be there with plenty of goodies. Brontez Purnell, former member of the now-defunct pop outfit Gravy Train!!!! and current ringleader of The Younger Lovers, has curated a lineup that includes Sixties jangle poppers Puce Moment; Straight Crimes, the latest punk project from former members of High Castle; metal band High Anxiety; and a DJ set from Ian Baldridge. Noon, $7 or free for BAM/PFA members and UC Berkeley students, faculty, and staff. BAMPFA.Berkeley.edu — Whitney Phaneuf

Room 237 and The Shining
Some movies are just meant to be watched together, and Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 horror classic The Shining and the 2012 documentary Room 237 are perhaps as good of a double feature as you can bill. Kubrick left his film notoriously open to interpretation, and Room 237 received critical kudos for piecing together numerous theories about the 33-year-old horror flick — many from kooky film buffs connecting the film to real-life events like the Holocaust and the Apollo 11 moon mission. Watch the two films in tandem and decide for yourself on Friday, May 10, at The New Parkway. 7:30 p.m., $10. 510-658-7900 or TheNewParkway.com — Azeen Ghorayshi
