Can't Miss
1. YO MAJESTY
[CONCERT] This trio of lesbians from Tampa turns rap -- and its chauvinistic and homophobic tendencies -- on its head. But don't expect any conscious coffeehouse hip-hop. These women rock an ingenious hybrid of crunk, electro and punk attitude that is tailor-made for filling dance floors and testing the limits of car stereos.

CLOSEToday at 9:30 p.m. Rock and Roll Hotel, 1353 H St. NE. $10. 202-388-7625.
2. THE DARJEELING LIMITED
[MOVIE] We love Wes Anderson. From "Bottle Rocket" to "The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou," his mix of character, quirk and nostalgia has always hit the mark. For his newest feature, the tale of three estranged brothers traveling across India by train, he calls on some of his favorite actors, including Owen Wilson and Jason Schwartzman, as well as noteworthy newcomers Adrien Brody and Natalie Portman. For those who can't wait until Friday, a 13-minute prologue, "Hotel Chevalier," is available as a free download through iTunes.
Opens Friday.
3. PATRICK WOLF
[CONCERT] The young British export is something of a pop music phenom. A multi-instrumentalist, he has at turns been a member of a preformed pop group, a homeless sonic experimenter and a rising indie icon. (Though with his knack for intricate, catchy orchestral tunes and intelligent lyrics presented in earnest, dulcet tones, the pedigree hardly matters.) With Bishi.
Monday at 8 p.m. Black Cat, 1811 14th St. NW. $15. 202-667-7960.
4. LASTING FOUNDATIONS: THE ART OF ARCHITECTURE IN AFRICA
[EXHIBIT] This exhibition, developed by the Museum for African Art in New York and held at the National Building Museum, looks at the relatively unexplored architectural traditions of Africa, from mosques and churches to traditionally furnished private spaces. The show examines the innovative ways Africans have built their homes and public buildings, how the structures have been adapted to the landscape and what their symbolism is.
Opens Saturday. Through Jan. 13. National Building Museum, Fourth and F streets NW. Free. 202-272-2448.
