| | SHOPPING 43 Ways to Spend Less  Holiday parties, posh vacations; everything except high heels is getting downsized this winter. But your generosity can be the exception: here are 43 gift ideas under $150, from eco-plastic jewelry to a tote emblazoned with the slogan of the season: "I Need Money." Directness is the new black.
MUSIC Really Old Sneakers
Welcome back! There’s not much going on! But the folks at Puma know a scheduling opportunity when they see one; they’re throwing themselves a 60th birthday party at the Music Hall of Williamsburg tonight; free tickets are available at Puma stores. Jon Caramanica called the headliners, Chester French, “shameless panderers masquerading as tastemakers.” Harsh enough to pique your curiosity? Come early to catch the rising indie hip-hop duo the Knux and Harlem’s own Charles Hamilton. “Plunderers and Panderers,” by Jon Caramanica FILM Ladies and Gentlemen, David Bowie Get an infusion of glam at MoMA tonight when Thurston Moore presents some of David Bowie’s early videos as part of the Looking at Music series. Catch classics like “Life on Mars” from the Thin White Duke’s Mick Rock/blue eye shadow period. Also tonight, Melvin Van Peebles will introduce his first film, “La Permission (Story of a 3-Day Pass).” Made in France in 1968, it is shown as part of a tribute to the filmmaker. COMEDY They Stand, They Joke Attention fans of dry, witty one-liners and shaggy haircuts: Demetri Martin is doing a late-night stand-up set at the UCB tonight. Advance tickets are sold out; come early for the standby line. Or head to Crash Mansion for Comedy Central’s showcase. It’s hosted by Christian Finnegan of VH1 and features local stand-ups like Chelsea Peretti and Todd Barry. NIGHTLIFE Uncommon Delays After several delays, Common is now scheduled to release his new album, “Universal Mind Control,” next week. Until then, you’ll have to content yourself with his latest mixtape, which you can hear regular and remixed tonight at Sway, at the regular party hosted by Roxy Cottontail.
