* Spun at Vynyl is home to that jet-setting kid Chris Monaco every Saturday. Look for cute guys and dolls dancing to loads of house music.

* Yo! The Westside gets down and funky at Sugar on Fridays with this new night of old hip-hop.

* Hoochie Koo at Bar Sinister on Fridays is a modest alternative for those times you’re not on the list at Cherry. It promises all the Led Zeppelin, Blondie and Jane’s Addiction an ear can take. 1652 N. Cherokee Ave., Hollywood, (323) 769-7060. 21 and older, $6 cover.
