Plenty of good music in town this week to..uh...wet your musical whistle - if you will. Tonight you may want to check out some alternative hiphop at Warehouse Live with Del the Funky Homosapien or relive the 90's at Verizon Wireless with Live and Collective Soul. Later in the week the wild and whacky Blue Man Group is playing at Toyota Center -or- you could see Rilo Kiley at Warehouse Live -or- release your frustrations with thrash metal show featuring Gwar at Verizon Wireless. Our pick of the week, however is on Saturday when Austin's own Okkervil River plays at Walter's on Washington.
