We’re going out tonight to see Animal Collective at the Rialto Theatre, 318 E. Congress St. The cool cats at the Rialto, who know a lot more about music than we ever will, tell us the music explores “the fringes and intersecting boundaries of folk, noise rock, ambient drone, twisted psychedelia, and, ultimately, pure melody.” All we know is: Somebody gave us some of their stuff last year on a mix, and we liked it, so we’re checking out their act. Opening at 8 p.m. is Wizard Prison.

Make sure you go and see Lavender Diamond and the New Pornographers at… uhh, one of those places tomorrow night. The one where Dillinger didn’t get shot in front of… so that would make it… the one where J Edgar Hoover cut off Dillinger’s schlong, I guess…
Lavender Diamond is part of the new revolution of Love (or something like that) and thus is not to be missed. The New Pornographers are part of the new revolution of what-men-call-love, and thus are not to be missed either. Why would you listen to me? I am just that cool. That’s why. Too cool for school, baby. I am cutting class, and eating pizza.
Please come back and tell us what you thought of Animal Collective. I have their album “Sung Tong” and would be curious to find out how they sound live.
