Response by poster: We love everything ... and we LOVE to dance, if that helps. I'd be really into going to some great DJs or other 'dance' events. But an amazing organ recital would be great too.

The best time I've had at Fete de la Musique is riding around all afternoon and evening on a bike and checking out many different performers and just stopping at whatever sounds interesting. You get to cover a lot of ground and really get a sense for the enormous variety of music that's out there and discover things that aren't even on the schedule! (You can rent bikes from the city at Hotel de Ville for not very much money. And, bike carefully: lots of crowds and drunk people out that night.)

I would like to see this :

PARIS 13eme
Sur le Parvis de la Bibliothèque François Mitterrand, Quai François Mauriac, M. Bibliothèque François Mitterrand 19h30 - fin : 00h30 - musiques électroniques
Mymotomusic : Au programme, 19H30 : Soko (folk), 20h20 : Thedo (folk et rock), 21h10 : Legoparty (4 punkettes venues de Belgique), 22h10 : Das Pop (groupe pop rock électro belge), 23h10 : Sold Out (électric indie pop).


and this

Rex Club, 5 bd Poissonnière, M. Bonne Nouvelle 23h30 - fin : 06h00 - musiques électroniques
Gravity Special Fête de la Musique : Live de Jonathan Katsav, suivi de plusieurs djs Scratch Massive, Screaming Loulous, Brett Longman, prêts pour se déchaîner sur des sons électro jusqu'au bout de la nuit.


your mileage may, of course, vary

that said, going through the streets, letting your ears guide you can certainly be a pleasant way to spend that evening.
