1. Tonight, in a quite remarkable turn of events, Ofelia's will host a show at 77 Central Street in Bangor. Hey, remember last summer, when there were shows there every weekend, and they were basically totally amazing? Well, you've probably heard the story of the whole debacle as to why Ofelia's is no longer in that space (which I'm not going to retell here), but now, a year after Ofelia's first opened, the Maine Democratic Committee has moved into the space. And because the organizers there are so cool, they've partnered with Ofelia's to have live music in the big open downstairs space again. So, tonight, starting at 7:30 p.m., Huak, the Ryan Moores and Gromky Malchick will perform. $5, all ages. To quote Justin Timberlake, what goes around comes around.

2. After that, mosey on down to the Red Martini and go see DJ Kadence spin drum n' bass all evening. The following night, Saturday, um, well, there's some girl DJing there, starting at 9:30 p.m. I guess she writes some column and some blog for the Bangor Daily News, and I guess she likes punk rock and classic rock and sweet electro jamz and what not. I mean, whatever. WHATEVER.

(Yeah, yeah, shameless self promotion. But hey, if you want to come out and listen to me play some cool tunes, I'd love to see ya!)

3. I've mentioned both these shows in my column the past two weeks, but they bear mentioning again: The Arootsakoostick Music Festival in New Sweden, and Grace Potter and the Nocturnals at the Skowhegan Opera House. Rock. And. Roll.

4. The Perils of Peroxide! Why, goodness me! River City Cinema's annual outdoor film festival kicks off tonight in Pickering Square in downtown Bangor at sundown, with a screening of "She Done Him Wrong," featuring the indomitable bombshell Mae West.

5. Ameranouche, the killer gypsy jazz trio, play at the Bangor Opera House Saturday night. I can't recommend them enough. Seriously. Three of the best musicians you'll ever see on a stage in Maine. $10, 8 p.m.

6. Bonus! Bonus! Ding ding ding! Woodmans in Orono hosts its monthly "Slow Food" night on Sunday, featuring all locally grown and harvested foods. Starts at 4 p.m., and there's no set meal, so just come in and order whatever you'd like. It's all delicious. For more information on the slow food movement, visit www.slowfood.com.
