I’ve barely recovered from the weekend, and this week is already tiring. Just looking at the calendar, I’m tired. So I’m just going to give you the heads up about all these shows without getting into too much detail.

• Yesterday’s Chic-a-Go-Go taping was tons of fun. Shonen Knife played there, so I thought I’d catch the full show tonight at the Bottom Lounge. (It seems they’ve exceeded their bandwidth this month or something, so I can’t quite find the exact time right now. How embarrassing for them… So, uh, show up and hope it doesn’t sell out. Heh.)
• The Futureheads are playing the Double Door Tuesday night at 8pm. Tickets are $12. I’m torn between this or my usual Tuesday night Ten56 fix (why does it have to close?). Though lately the music’s sunk to the likes of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan… Yeah, I’m lookin at you, Tankboy!
• Wednesday has the Detholz! at Empty Bottle. Fresh from their tour with Wilco, these guys are heading places. Catch them now while you still can for only $10. 9:30pm.
• Maybe I just won’t leave Empty Bottle Wednesday night, because the BaseBall Furies will be there Thursday night. See what I mean about this week not letting up? 9:30pm, $8.
• Here’s my Friday schedule:
  • 7pm: The Dollar Store at the Hideout. Looks like that website is down too, but it’s still good and often funny readings of stories inspired by cheap merchandise.$1 donation.
  • 9pm: The Reptoids at Sylvie’s Lounge.
  • 10pm: Sybris and the Lost Sounds at Subterranean. $10.

  I’m honestly going to each and every one of those shows if it kills me. Really. You’re free to ride along if you don’t believe me.

• Saturday holds Walter Meego at the Beat Kitchen OR Oh My God with the Dials at Subterranean. I may still find a way to be at both. Because they haven’t fully outlawed cloning yet.

I need to rest.
