Tickets $8-20 depending on performance

Continuing our list of list series, Bostonist slugged through all the best and worst of lists for the albums of 2007.

As it gets closer to Halloween for LAist, a contributer recollects her tale of staring down the serial killer, Richard Ramirez, otherwise known as the Night Stalker. Must think happy thoughts -- okay, free organic chocolate chip cookies for Los Angeles -- now that's a happy thought. Other happy Los Angeles thoughts include an interview with Jack Kehler of The Big Lebowski (he was the Dude's landlord), a beautiful and magical photographic moment in Venice...

--Forbes announced that former Massachusetts governor and presidential aspirant Mitt Romney placed fourth in their "creepiest candidate" poll. We can understand why – and it has nothing to do with Mormonism or big sticks. It's simply the fact that the man has not aged for several decades. Of course he's creepy – he's hiding a portrait in the attic! --Romney's new "crazy eyes" ad certainly won't help him get off the creepy list. Earlier in...

A weekend stand of winning baseball at home when the Sox take it to the Angels followed by the all day boozy spectator sport that is the Boston Marathon it's going to be a long week. Lucky for music fans there's a lot to look forward to and keep you up all night with that lovely ringing in your ears that only comes from live music.

This week the music world turns its gaze to the party they call SXSW. A number of local bands are hitting the scene in hopes that it will propel them to some worldwide tour – or at least help them get out of that "garden level" apartment in Medford. While some eyes turn south to Texas where an immigration debate runs wild the US immigration policy has taken a toll on the local concert...

The state of the sidewalks around Boston kept us on our asses this weekend. Not so much of the figurative kind where we sat at home and skipped a show because it was too hard to get around. No, more the literal kind where we kept falling down because of that damn 2" layer of ice that was pretty much everywhere. This week they tell us that the temperature is rising by week's end....

If you're not into traveling all the way to the Tweeter Center for Journey and Def Leopard, check out this week's picks. Even if you are into heading down to the big name act's show you'll need something to do the rest of the week. There's no joking about it this week. Fall is here. By the time the weekend hits it's time to break out the cider and make some pumpkin pie. We're saving that for Sunday, however, the rest of the week is for music.

Tuesday 5/30

There are all sorts of celebrations going on this week. One year anniversaries, EP releases and, well, we threw in some alt-country just to spice it up a little bit. Bostonist is looking forward to to warmer weather, but until then we know where they might be heating things up on stages around the Hub. Some of the great shows you might find a pair or two of Bostonist's ears this week. Monday 2/20: The...

Sample these tracks and let us know what's in your iPod playlist this week.

Tweedy opened the show with the slow, harmonica-accented confessional “Sunken Treasure,” which has been a longtime staple of the singer-songwriter’s sporadic solo tours, as well as a recurring encore when a full lineup is together. This immediate statement highlighted the fact that Jeff’s solo tour is the perfect opportunity for old-school Wilco fans to get their fill of the folkier, alt-country history that first endeared the songwriter to our hearts. That said, the singer is clearly proud of his last three studio offerings since 1996’s Being There, the double album alt-country masterpiece that preceded forays into Beach Boys sunshine pop, Radiohead sound explorations, and avant-pop/krautrock, as well as mass popularity and dissention among Wilco’s previous fan base. The truth remains, though, that Summerteeth isn’t all sunshine, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot isn’t all stuttering electronics and cynicism, and 2004’s A Ghost Is Born retains a classic rock feel for many of the tracks. Tweedy’s has been a uniquely-inspired, self-challenging voice in music, and his solo show reflected this eclecticism while emphasizing the great songwriting beneath each direction his career has taken.

In a blink of the eye, the Nemo Showcase is upon us. We figure there's no better way to kick things off than with an interview. Bostonist caught up with Morning Theft, a NYC-based band with strong Boston roots. They join the Nemo Showcase, playing tonight at TT the Bear's as part of the Lunch Records line up.

According to places such as Star and Gawker, it’s feasible that Jen From Dawson’s Creek, AKA the lovely actress (see: Me Without You, The Station Agent) Michelle Williams is pregnant with Heath Ledger’s baby. Funny enough, tonight Williams’ ex-boyfriend, Andy Herod, is in town with his band The Comas. Last year The Comas released Conductor, a fantastic album that was loosely centered around Herod’s breakup with Williams. It’s most clear in one of the standout...

Bostonist just pulled True Love Waits, Christopher O'Riley's renditions of Radiohead’s music for piano out of the CD Changer. The passion of O’Riley’s rock-to-classical piano transcriptions left us singing the lyrics to the song in our head, though the arrangements did seem like they would compliment Tori Amos’ trademark lyrics of archetypal subjects like Mother Earth. What’s next for the cross-genre enthusiast? Bjorkestra.
