Sunday Night Thread: The Week Ahead

We're supposedly heading into a slower time of year for live music-- holidays, weather, and the slow new release calendar from here on out are all partially responsible. You'd never know it, though, looking at this week's calendar, featuring long established names like Mission of Burma, They Might Be Giants, Pinback, Black Heart Procession, Erin McKeown, and The Pixies (in Eugene, but not in Black Francis' garage). Heck, even B.B. King's dropping by this week.

So with a group like that on the way, we're pretty happy to be able offer up tickets for grabs to a couple of the week's biggest gigs: The Mountain Goats with Final Fantasy this Wednesday night; and Built to Spill with Disco Doom and Finn Riggins on Friday night, both at the Wonder Ballroom. Listen during tonight's In House broadcast for your chance to win-- and this is important-- via EMAIL. We'll ask for your responses to be delivered to opbmusic@opb.org, not here on the blog if you don't mind.

Anything else here, though-- questions, comments, requests-- is fair game. We're all night......
