Do Me: Five Options for Your Monday Night

Published Aug 03 2009, 12:41 PM by Michael Brodeur

- One-man panoramic post-rock soundscapist Kevin Micka a/k/a Animal Hospital brings his heaps of gear and oodles of heart to Weirdo Records today for a big warm hug of a show (along with Maine Coons). He'll likely play material from two new records, Memory and Good or Plenty, Street and Avenues. [Weirdo Records, 844 Mass. Ave., Cambridge | 8 pm | 857-413-0154]

- DJ Rory Stark is planning on getting all Hoover on your ass tonight with "Again and Again" at the Model, playing all manner of fast, chunky, eyes-on-the-prize pre-millennial guitar-rock: RftC, Mclusky, Shellac, Drive Like Jehu and hopefully that Karp/Rye Coaltion split 12" if anyone brings it. [Model Cafe, 7 North Beacon St., Allston | 10:30 pm | 617.254.9365]

- Freaky-deaky Cursive back-from-dead show at the Middle East Downstairs still not quite sold out. Where the Land Meets the Sea and The Love Language open. [Middle East, 480 Mass Ave., Cambridge | 9 pm | 617.864.EAST]

- DJs James Gerard and Brendan Wesley (Solar Disko/Akult) throw down a mixe of disco, house and techno at Middlesex's cover-free Petrol night. [Middlesex, 315 Mass. Ave., Cambridge | 9 pm | FREE | 617.868.MSEX ]

- A certain local rock magnate whom we love very much and seek not to out for his illegal misdeeds has mercifully condensed five years of Robert Pollard/Boston Spaceships into a comparably petite 42-track highlight reel titled Blobs of Light Ripped From Spiral Ceilings – Bob Pollard 2004 – 2009. This is like two full hours of nightlife. Want it? Email me and I'll tell you where to get it.

Would love to get my hands on this Bob Pollard mix but the email link is not working! It's Friday night I'm in NYC and that still sounds like the best option!

Thanks
