Eight Items or Less: Leslie Arfin & Greg K, Uniqlo & United Bamboo, Islands & Ra Ra Riot

1. Starting tomorrow, Greg K (of Misshapes fame) and Leslie Arfin (of VICE and Dear Diary fame) are teaming up to host a regular Thursday night 1990's-themed party at Bowery Electric called LOSER. Says Leslie in an email: "Yes that includes Rap. It includes Alternative and Brit-Pop and slow songs and fast songs. It includes NOFX and Deee Lite and Neutral Milk Hotel and Color Me Badd. Everything from 1990 to 1999, all sandwiched into one awesome night."

1. Little known fact: Apparently United Bamboo did a small (but very cute!) collection for Uniqlo. (via Style Bubble)

2. Islands and Ra Ra Riot have been added to the already stellar Siren Fest roster, joining the likes of Stephen Malkmus, Broken Social Scene and Beach House.

3. The Crayola 64 box turns 50 this summer. When it debuted (on the Captain Kangaroo Show), the box cost $1.99. Fifty years later, it costs $5. Not a bad deal!

4. Dante’s Fried Chicken (a cooking and variety show) is coming to The Yard this Saturday. Bands such as Theophilus London and Ninja Sonic will be playing while dishes such as yam banana catfish and blueberry Guinness brisket are served.

5. Head on over to the Kai Kuhne sample sale, featuring a "beautiful selection of Kai Kuhne's most definitive work, transcending seasons and trends" at 218 W. 37th St., 7th floor, from 2-7 p.m.
