The season finale has just aired for your favorite TV show. NBC hasn't run Must See TV on Thursdays for a decade. The sun is shining and temperatures will be perfect for showing up jacketless to the next performance. Something to do every night this week – and rock it out for free with the pop tunes from WBOS' EarthFest line up on Saturday, starting at noon. All this and we're tivo-ing the Sox/Yanks games...

Sufjan Stevens and the Illinoisemakers wowed a sold-out Somerville Theatre audience last night with big sounds and pep rally pageantry. Arriving at 7:45 pm, 15 minutes before the opening act Laura Veirs took stage, the line of anticipating fans extended down the block past the Someday Café. Bostonist, failing to foresee such a broad display of punctuality, was forced to settle for a remote corner of the upper balcony. But despite the compromised location and hazardous build-up of dust and grit, the Somerville Theatre proved to be an ideal venue.

Back in early August, Bostonist advised the timely purchase of tickets to see Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, performing at TT the Bears on September 14. Clearly someone was listening because the show has long sold out and a frenzy of desperate Craigslist posts (buying, not selling) has since ensued. The story follows suit for Sufjan Stevens, playing with Laura Veirs at the Somerville Theatre on September 8.
