Books
Sarah Boxer bravely prowled through the blogosphere to share its treasures with us in Ultimate Blogs. Of course, Go Fug Yourself makes the list. Brattle Theatre (via Harvard Book Store), 6:00 pm, $5.
Edit: Event has been moved to Harvard Book Store

--If you've been reading Bostonist for a while, you might know how we feel about the potential of wind power. A while ago, we read this barnburner of a book about Cape Wind, the project to build turbines in Nantucket Sound that has met resistance from some supposed environmentalists (Kennedys ... A-HEM ... Kennedys). Anyway, the authors of Cape Wind, Wendy Williams and Robert Whitcomb, will read from and discuss the book at Coolidge Corner Theater at 5:30 pm, free.

Music
That South by Southwest time of year is upon us, and any music lover is dreaming of being in Austin right now. You can get a taste of the vibe by reading the work of our brothers and sisters at Austinist, and you can also check out the Weekly Dig Boston to Austin Party with the synthy Fantasy Mirrors, the Wandas, and Paul Holmes. Harper's Ferry, 8:00 pm, $5. Money goes to 826 Boston.

--The critics get a little goofy when talking about Jonathan Richman, he of the Modern Lovers, he who spawned indie rock. He comes back to Boston's embrace and brings Vic Chesnutt with him. Sadly, both nights (tonight and tomorrow) are sold out. Do what you must. Middle East Upstairs, $16.

Movies
The 1974 documentary Hearts and Minds tracked the impact of the Vietnam war on that nation. Anthony Lane of the New Yorker saw it upon re-release and declared, "In no way has its reek of indignation dwindled over the years, and it continues to spit and seethe in its eagerness to provoke." Director Peter Davis will be on hand for a post-screening discussion. MFA, 7:30 pm, $9.
