We're moving the weekly Live Music Calendar to Wednesdays to make room for our new weekly New CD Releases feature on Tuesday. OK, let's pretend you have a five-day date with some wannabe Sirius radio DJ and you have to wade through everything the city has to offer this week. Decisions, decisions, decisions. Well, good thing you listen to everything we have to say! May we recommend that you start off in familiar territory...

Thursday Sept. 27th Witnes and I are bringing DJ Queen Majesty and Grimy Styles to the Proletariat for a Punky Reggae Party.

In honor of the upcoming Dia de los Muertos (in November, yes) the Lawndale Art Center is giving out retablo tins for area artists to decorate for a silent auction benefiting Lawndale programs. Retablos are small traditional Mexican paintings of saints and religious imagery, although we've seen punk rock, KISS and Paul Frank retablos in our day as well.

Movie Screening @ Domy Books: Suburbia Join Domy Books tonight, in association with Mike the Flea, as they present the film Suburbia, "a new movie… about a new generation." Based on her observations of teen runaways, Penelope Spheeris wrote and directed this compelling tale about Evan Johnson (Bill Coyne), who finds refuge with a band of malcontents when household conflict and a sense of worthlessness overwhelm him. Through garage hopping, fights, concerts and death, the...

As the world holds its breath, teetering precariously on the cusp of the Super Bowl (well, at least in America), the wheels of the -ists keep on turning. Austinist was in a musical frame of mind as they listened to the new Shins album, updated the SXSW band listings and got called "punk rock" for their efforts by MTV.

Houstonist also reports on some redevelopment shenanigans over a landmark theater. LAist's sex advice column on...
