5. Any reason is good enough to visit Les Yeux du Monde gallery on a nice evening. Tonight? The local gallery partners with the Wintergreen Music Festival for an exhibit of the visual works by the Austrian composer Wolfgang Seierl.
Among them:
4. If you’ve been watching the papers, you’ve probably seen that dead Swedish journalist Stieg Larsson’s violent novels about a badass hacker named Lisbeth Salander have been quietly selling millions of copies. The Girl Who Played With Fire opens tonight at Vinegar Hill Theatre; check out the second of three Swedish film adaptations before the (rumored) American-made versions come out.
The trailer.
3. Rare is the band that come along that I can recommended to "fans of the Beatles." The Love Language, who play tonight at the Southern, are such a band. Check out "Heart to Tell," the single from Libraries, released earlier this month. An added bonus: these Raleigh denizens are part of the Southeastern U.S. "local pride"-shed.
The Love Language’s "Heart to Tell"
2. This Culpeper treat is quasi-local at best, but among the best ways to spend a Friday night: the Library of Congress’ Packard Campus for Audio-Visual Conservation there hosts three free screenings weekly in an amazing art deco theater. Tonight? The often imitated, never equalled Godzilla.
Halitosis to the nth degree.
1. Blues boy. The not-retired blues legend B.B. King comes to the Charlottesville Pavilion. What more can you say?
B.B. King rocks "Ralph Gleason‘s Jazz Casual," 1968.
What’re you up to this weekend?
