These aren’t the kind of posters you’d put on your dorm room wall. At Swann Galleries’ annual auction, a single one might cost thousands of dollars. (For example, N.C. Wyeth’s 1929 poster for the Pennsylvania Rail Road will likely sell for $1,500–$2,000.) But for four days, spendthrifts can visit Swann to feast their eyes on these colorful pieces for free.

The controversial M.I.A., who can’t stay out of her own way despite still doing awesome stuff (evidenced by her most recent Letterman appearance), headlines a bill that also features schizophrenic South African rap act Die Antwoord, Brooklyn’s bombastic Sleigh Bells, suave NYC rapper Theophilus London and many more.

Cyndi Lauper

The fun-loving Lauper hits town in support of a blues album no one ever expected.

Photograph: Ellen Von Unwerth

The Town Hall; Wed 21

It’s pretty unclear if anybody was crying out for an album of crusty blues covers from Cyndi Lauper. But if this local new-wave icon has demonstrated anything over the course of her three-decade career, it’s that the girl just wants to have fun. So into the world last month dropped Memphis Blues, on which Lauper offers surprisingly low-quirk renditions of tunes by Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson; she even gets help from A-list blues types such as Allen Toussaint, B.B. King and Ann Peebles. Lauper doesn’t really bring anything new to the music, but in a way, that’s central to the album’s off-kilter charm: You can tell she simply loves this material, and knew that her super-devoted audience would follow her wherever she went. It’s a labor of love minus any sense of labor.

This week Lauper will bring her new album to the Town Hall, where she’ll be backed by a band of veterans, including harmonica great Charlie Musselwhite and Charles “Skip” Pitts on guitar; Pitts contributed the indelible wah-wah to Isaac Hayes’s “Theme from Shaft,” which means you can count on extra crust tonight. Expect a main set dripping with blues, and an encore consisting of ’80s hits like “True Colors” and “Time After Time.”

    Description
    Romero’s belated sequel to his first masterpiece gives the material a satirical spin, frequently dispensing with the gore in order to poke fun at consumer culture. (The heroes have barricaded themselves in a shopping mall.) Many of Romero’s fans consider this even better than the original.
