Looking for some stuff to catch up on this weekend? Whether it’s TV, movies, books, or anything in between—VICE has you covered. Read on for our staff recommendations on what to take in during your downtime:
LOOK AT OLD CAMERAS AT AN ANALOG PHOTOGRAPHY BAZAAR
Online shopping is great, but for some things—like analog cameras—nothing beats seeing them in person. My experience at previous Lowlight bazaars have mostly consisted of picking up cameras from the vendors’ tables and checking them out as if I could afford them, asking a few questions to the vendors, nodding, and then walking away. But it’s still super fun, I swear. This bazaar, which happens several times a year, is organized by @jellyplayground. They’ve done a great job making analog photography pretty accessible to people, and that’s 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 zines—all with an entry fee of Rp 20,000 that’s valid for the whole weekend. —Alia Marsha

CELEBRATE THE RELEASE OF THE MILO’S ‘WASTED PARTS’
To celebrate the release of Wasted Parts—a compilation album containing B-sides, rarities and remix tracks—The 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 country’s fresh talents who, dare I say, are more musically adventurous. Personally, the act I’m most interested in is France’s 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. —Yudhistira Agato
WATCH NEW YORK CITY’S HARDCORE LEGENDS LIVE
Do you feel that hardcore punk isn’t what it used to be? Do you miss the the ol’ glory days? Well, you’re in luck since NYC’s 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. —Yudhistira Agato
CHECK OUT A TRADITIONAL MUSIC FESTIVAL IN YOGYAKARTA
Organizers 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! —Ananda Badudu
DANCE YOUR HEART OUT AT ‘KALUNGA’
The collective Interrupted is hosting another Kalunga night—which means you’re in for some mystical tunes ranging from Afro-House to Tribe techno by Kimo, NDNR, John Van der Mill, Sime and Gilang. Watch out for a special installation by the Psilo Project crew! —Dini Lestari
