\nEliot Lipp
\nLucky Bar, $15, 8 PM
\n<\/strong>I haven\u2019t watched E.T.<\/em> in a really long time. I might have to get a big bag of Reese\u2019s Pieces and sit down with my family for a classic-movie night. I wore a blue long-sleeved E.T. shirt in my grade two school photo. It had one of those iron-on type prints that you don\u2019t really see anymore. The ones that don\u2019t fade with washings so much as they crack and peel and start to look just horrible after a while. It\u2019s too bad. I really loved that shirt.<\/p>\n

\nPoor Young Things, Tim Chaisson
\nFelicita\u2019s Pub, $10, 9 PM
\n<\/strong>Michael Jackson\u2019s Thriller<\/em> album sure is awesome for something that\u2019s having its 30-year anniversary. Every time I see Poor Young Things on a poster I think of Michael Jackson. He had a song on that album called \u201cP.Y.T.,\u201d but it stood for \u201cpretty young thing.\u201d Does anybody know if Poor Young Things do a cover of that? If they don\u2019t, they should. I bet it would sound sweet as a rocker with some harmonies. Throw a little guitar solo in there and you\u2019ve got a hit. If Alien Ant Farm can do it with \u201cSmooth Criminal,\u201d this one\u2019s a no-brainer.<\/p>\n

Saturday, December 1
\nWoodsmen, KHBR, Leisure Suit
\nLucky Bar, 7 PM
\nI bet the Woodsmen could get a great name for themselves as a grunge cover band. I don\u2019t even know what they sound like, but they could put on a bunch of matching plaid shirts, grow some crusty beards with some long hair, and rock out old Alice in Chains tunes. Sure, it\u2019d be stereotypical, but I was alive in the \u201990s. Everybody really did look like that.<\/p>\n

\nSaid the Whale, Carmanah
\nUVic University Centre Auditorium, $22, 7 PM
\nHave you ever used one of those relaxation albums? You get different options like soothing rain, flowing ocean, the wind in the trees, whale songs, stuff like that. If you\u2019re trying to get all zen and zero in on your inner self, have a listen to one of those. You might fall asleep five minutes in, but isn\u2019t that just the ultimate form of relaxation? Or better yet, do yoga while listening to one. Yeah, that should help keep your eyes open. I\u2019m falling asleep just writing about it.<\/p>\n

Wednesday, December 5
\nThe Funk Hunters, Celebrity Traffic, Party On High Street
\nClub 90ne9, $20, 9 PM
\nI keep getting these ideas for television shows while writing about all the bands coming through town. Imagine a show where producers or managers had to battle it out with different singers and the fans would call in or vote online to pick the winner. You could give a bunch of backstory on the artists, each one pulling at the heartstrings to make you care and vote for them. What? The Voice?<\/em> X-Factor?<\/em> Never heard of them. Dammit, I thought I had a winning idea there, for sure.<\/p>\n

Thursday, December 6
\nAstronautalis, Busdriver, Jel
\nClub 90ne9, $15, 9:30 PM
\nI remember being on the school bus when I was little and one of the older kids decided to harass me. He sat down beside me and started pushing my buttons. I had my lunchbox open and he really wanted my apple. I told him, \u201cNo, it\u2019s my apple. Get your own!\u201d He grabbed it from me and took a bite. So I closed my little lunchbox clasps, clenched the handle tightly and smashed him in the face hard enough for him to drop my apple. Then I ate it.<\/p>\n

Friday, December 7
\nMonophonics, The New Souls
\nUpstairs Cabaret, 7 PM
\nI would love to visit San Francisco one of these days. Some of my friends seem to think I\u2019d really like the place. A couple of my best friends live in Philadelphia at the moment, but they keep talking about moving to San Francisco. That would be the perfect excuse. They know that if I could, I would visit them wherever they live. San Francisco is just a few thousand miles closer. Hell, I could drive there in a day or so. I really miss those two.<\/p>\n

Sunday, December 9
\nThe Cave Singers, Poor Moon
\nSugar Nightclub, $20, 8 PM
\nThe acoustics in a cave would be wonderful and terrible all at the same time. I guess it would really depend on how big the cave was, but I bet the walls would just give such an awe-inspiring feel to whatever was played in there. Then again, there\u2019s the echo that could end up really distracting. And, of course, the bat poop. That would probably be the worst part. I think local punk band Dayglo Abortions said it best: \u201cHere today, guano tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
