Spinal Simpson

With its portrayal of a tour gone awry and a band's refusal to admit it, we think Spinal Tap is one of the best rock-n-roll movies ever made. Come see the real-life version of the movie when the Ashlee Simpson World Tour stops by the Paramount on Thursday. From the Saturday Night Live Acid Reflux debacle to the booing at the Orange Bowl, this has been a tour for the ages. This is definitely a show high in comedic value. After the concert, you might want to sign the 'Stop Ashlee Simpson' petition, since in this world there are very few issues that Republicans and Democrats can agree on. As of this morning, there are still plenty of tickets available on Ticketmaster.

If Ashlee Simpson isn't in the cards for you on Thursday, you might want to roll over to Chop Suey and see Amon Tobin, with his innovative mix of free jazz, hip-hop and funk. Most recently he released the soundtrack to the video game Chaos Theory: Splinter Cell 3, and while "soundtrack to the video game" is not the coolest phrase in the English language, he is definitely worth seeing. Buy tickets.
