MUSIC: Don’t have U2 tickets, or didn’t feel the urge to buy Lady Gaga tickets (saving your money for Madonna, right?) No worries, DC9 is hosting Seattle’s highly recommended These Arms Are Snakes, with DD/MM/YYYY and Three Stars alums Imperial China. $10 in advance/$12 at the door, 9 p.m.

Or head to the Black Cat to hear South African outfit BLK JKS, who’ve been attracting comparisons to TV on the Radio. Laughing Man opens, $10, 9 p.m.

MOVIE: With slightly more than a month away from Halloween, there are some (of us) who just can’t resist the urge to dress like zombies on a random Tuesday at 6 p.m. in Georgetown, for a free screening of Zombieland and a zombiewalk, right? Details here.

Or watch one of the trashiest families on earth, with a final scene that will make your stomach more than turn. Pink Flamingos is screening, sponsored by The Washington Psychotronic Film Society at the The Warehouse tonight for free at 8 p.m. ($2 suggested donation).

BOWLING: It’s day two of the Lebowski Fest; tonight Strike Bethesda is hosting the party with bowling, trivia and a costume contest for $25.
