MUSIC: The Black Keys are playing two sold out shows this week (tonight and Tuesday) at the 9:30 Club with Buffalo Killers. Try Craigslist.

READING: Laurie Lindeen will be at the Olsson's in Dupont Circle to talk about her memoir, Petal Pusher: A Rock and Roll Cinderella Story, which looks at her stint in the 80s and 90s as the guitarist for Zuzu's Petals. 7 p.m.

JAZZ: Trumpet legend Herb Alpert, the "A" in A&M Records and founder of the Tijuana Brass, comes to Blues Alley tonight and Tuesday for 8 p.m. sets. His performance will feature his wife, Lani Hall on vocals as they perform original arrangements from a selection of American standard songs with some Brazilian music in the mix. Tickets are $50 + $12.50 minimum/surcharge. Advance purchase required. Note there is only one set per night.

MOVIE: It's perfect movie weather, so head out to Silver Spring to catch one of two stellar opportunities at the AFI Silver. At 7 p.m., what is arguably Woody Allen's greatest film, Annie Hall, screens as part of the United Artists 90th Anniversary Film Festival, and at 9 p.m., David Lynch's haunting Eraserhead plays in a special limited engagement.

Sommer: given the response times I've gotten on the DCist servers over the course of the day, maybe you should have left off the following thing:

Computers: It's rainy and you're lazy. Why not try to mount a DDoS against the Gothamist servers?

Either that or your electricity-generating hampsters are taking too much time to hump. Snap that whip!

 

A fine selection of Herb Alpert LPs at Crooked Beat...and at Rough & Ready, if you can believe it!
