Not a whole hell of a lot going on tonight, but you can check out Jazz Night at the Amsterdam Bar (as usual), which is probably a good time again now that the Fair is out of our hair for another year. And if you're in the mood for the complete opposite kind of show, you might want to see whats up at Darkside Lounge, as Austin's Jesus Lizard/ Girls Against Boys/Fugazi influenced Condition of Sale will be playing with post- hardcore outfit Stones We Throw. None of the limited material I've heard from either of these bands has really amazed me, but its pretty solid stuff that should pack an extra punch. You know, the kind of punch that just might make it a little less depressing to be in Deep Ellum on a Monday night.

More to come...

do you know the difference between a comparison in sound and a comparison in quality?

I second the Jesus Lizard comment.

Circle Jerks are coming!

Joseph Arthur is playing the tea room tonight
last time he played,
he painted a large canvas during the show
then, immediately sold the live show back by the merch booth.
he also does some interesting loops and pedal work.

If it has not amazed you, then don't name drop the Jesus Lizard.
