The Mountain Goats
Tonight @ the Pabst Theater - 8 p.m.
Growing significantly since their beginnings in the early '90s as a lo-fi folk group that recorded straight into a cassette-tape boom box, The Mountain Goats get sadder and sadder every year. 2005's The Sunset Tree was an autobiographical account of child abuse—scathingly dedicated to singer-songwriter John Darnielle's actual stepfather, who Darnielle notes made the album possible—and 2006's Get Lonely followed a particularly bad breakup. The band’s latest, Heretic Pride, takes a break from the painful autobiographical storytelling of their last three albums to tell some painful stories about fictional characters instead. Opening tonight for the Mountain Goats’ 8 p.m. show at the Pabst Theater is Kaki King, who uses her sepia-toned folk songs as a vehicle for some truly impressive guitar work.

Besotted by the cinema of silence and early talking pictures, Guy Maddin also finds humor in old movies-or perhaps the humor lies more in the distance between our experience of the world and the gestures of an antique art form. In My Winnipeg, the Canadia
For most of us, bossa nova is the distinctive sound of Brazil. The music was born in the late 1950s, conceived in large part by Antonio Carlos Jobim. From early on, American jazz musicians parked themselves within the idiom, sensing an affinity between th
California's Sound Tribe Sector 9 claims that instrumental music can reflect the tension of the times. In fact, the five-man collective considers its dense Eno-esque swirl of pulsing live and electronic sounds a means of "conversation" between band and li
The local restaurant Barossa, named after the Australian wine region of the same name, quietly closed its doors several months ago. With that closure came the loss of a very distinguished wine list and a menu that borrowed ingredients from all over the wo
