Looking for some stuff to catch up on this weekend? Whether it's TV, movies, books, or anything in betweenâVICE has you covered. Read on for our staff recommendations on what to take in during your downtime:Online shopping is great, but for some thingsâlike analog camerasânothing beats seeing them in person. My experience at previous Lowlight bazaars have mostly consisted of picking up cameras from the vendorsâ tables and checking them out as if I could afford them, asking a few questions to the vendors, nodding, and then walking away. But itâs still super fun, I swear. This bazaar, which happens several times a year, is organized by @jellyplayground. Theyâve done a great job making analog photography pretty accessible to people, and thatâs what the event on Saturday and Sunday will be all about. You can check out 20 different vendors at the bazaar, and participate in a talk, and trade some zinesâall with an entry fee of Rp 20,000 thatâs valid for the whole weekend. âAlia MarshaTo celebrate the release of Wasted Partsâa compilation album containing B-sides, rarities and remix tracksâThe Milo is playing a show at Rossi Musik this Saturday. It will be interesting to see how the Indonesian dream pop/alternative rock pioneer will hold up against some of the countryâs fresh talents who, dare I say, are more musically adventurous. Personally, the act I'm most interested in is Franceâs Lysistrata and its melodic emo-tinged math-rock songs. Does the band really fit the bill? Perhaps not, but who cares? Good music is good music. âYudhistira AgatoDo you feel that hardcore punk isnât what it used to be? Do you miss the the ol' glory days? Well, youâre in luck since NYCâs hardcore legends Agnostic Front will bring their mosh pit to Indonesia this weekend. It is almost a guarantee that their shows will be packed with sweaty hardcore kids, punks, and skinheads who have probably been influenced by the band one way or another. Agnostic Front is playing Bali on Friday and Jakarta on Saturday. Get your moshing pants ready. âYudhistira AgatoOrganizers behind the Tembi Music Festival believe that there are a lot of inventions that can be born out of the country's traditional music. In the festival's eighth year, they continue to explore exactly that. The festival will last from Saturday to Sunday, out in the open lawn of the Tembi Cultural House in Yogyakarta. It's free, so bring all your friends! âAnanda Badudu
