READING: Paul Auster, author of The New York Trilogy and The Brooklyn Follies, is in town tonight for an appearance at Politics and Prose to talk about his latest novel, Man in the Dark. 7 p.m.

MUSIC: Classic new-wavers Squeeze are back on the road. Founding members Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook are still around, bringing their hit parade -- "Pulling Mussels (From a Shell)", "Tempted", "Up the Junction" -- to the 9:30 Club. $45, with the Spring Standards. Doors at 7:30 p.m.

JAZZ: Many consider alto saxophonist Shenole Latimer a jazz star on the rise. You can catch this up-and-comer tonight at Twins Jazz. Call 202-432-0072 for set time and cover information.

MUSIC: It’s a good night for proto-psych fans at the Black Cat. L.A. veterans Nebula cap off a three-band bill. Totomoshi, fresh off the release of their latest Milagrosa, and Indiana punk group The Coke Dares open things up. $10 at the Backstage, Doors at 9 p.m.

MOVIE: Tomorrow Never Dies is toward the bottom of the list in terms of quality James Bond movies (though nowhere near as bad as The World is Not Enough). Still, if you're hankering for some free outdoor movie action tonight, DC’s NoMA neighborhood is your best bet tonight for their ongoing James Bond Film Festival. Film starts around 8 p.m., at the intersection of New York Avenue and Florida Avenues NE.
