Music

-- If the Detroit Cobras aren't enough for you, how about some X? Exene Cervenka and company thrash the Paradise mere decades after their debut. The aforementioned Cobras open. Paradise Rock Club, 967 Commonwealth Ave, 7pm, 18+, $30. (KS)

-- Break out your diaphanous black dress and your eyeliner. It's a thoroughly goth lineup tonight as Martin Bisi celebrates his CD release party with likeminded weirdos Black Fortress of Opium and Walter Sickert & the Army of Broken Toys. Middle East Upstairs, 472 Mass. Ave., Cambridge, 8:00pm. $8.

Movies

-- If you missed The Dude and Co. yesterday, the Brattle is screening The Big Lebowski again today. Charm your friends with the knowledge that, according to the OED, "dude" originally meant "dandy." Raising Arizona also plays. Brattle Theatre, 40 Brattle St., Cambridge. Tickets and showtimes.

Live Karaoke

-- Karaoke is good for crooning, but those who prefer to rock are, generally speaking, better off posing in front of a mirror in their own house. Tonight, the tables turn. Break out your best rock moves (but please rock out with your cock in) in front of a live band at Milky Way's semi-monthly Live Karaoke. Milky Way, 403 Centre St., Jamaica Plain, 9:00pm. $3.
