Now that we're on this eight days a week kick for doing these picks it seems like it might be time for a new graphic. We'll give you a cookie if you design us a new one.

Eight Days a Week. The music scene is hot, and we realize that we're not giving you enough lead time on some of the best way to cure a case of the Mondays – with a Monday evening show. This week we're putting eight days into our weekly music picks. Starting on Monday and running through the following week. This week we're eating locally – and listening locally. Several local acts find prominence on...

We know you are excited, we have renamed "Upcoming Music Events and Concerts" the Breakdown (at least for the time being). So here it is, the second installment of must-see gigs for the weekend, next week, and in the future. Please let us know if you have any suggestions for events that you want people to hear about that don't manage to make it on the Bostonist radar - just shoot us an e-mail at bostonistmusic (at) gmail dot com.

Get ready, here comes Bostonist's first installment of "Upcoming Music Events and Concerts" (catchier title to be determined at a later date.)
