Can't Miss It: Monday

FIRE GOOD: In his new book Catching Fire, Harvard biological anthropologist Richard Wrangham argues that it's the human need to cook our food that made us so smart and strong and socially organized. Take that, raw foods movement! Additionally, we have cooking to credit/blame for the male/female division of labor, so thank your great-great-great-to the nth degree-grandmothers for subjecting women to unequal pay for equal work. Anyone with any problems with the theories above can yell at Wrangham at his reading at Town Hall tonight.

7:30 p.m. // Town Hall // 1119 8th Ave. // $5

GET A STIFFY: SIFF counter-programming continues with the Seattle's True Independent Film Festival, playing at the Rendezvous, Central Cinema, and Northwest Film Forum. Tonight's selections include American Collectors, a documentary about, uh, Americans who collect things, and Unlisted: A Story of Schizophrenia, in which physician-filmmaker Delaney Ruston tries to understand both her father's illness and the state of mental health care.

Times, venues vary // $8

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE: If you aren't headed to Nectar for the Decibel-sponsored electro doubleheader of The Field and The Juan Maclean, Swedish band Love is All hits up Neumo's with their sophomore effort A Hundred Things Keep Me Up at Night. What do we like more: Josephine Olausson's ragged-cute vocals, the band's use of punk horns, or the super-twee video above? Still Flyin and TacocaT open.

9 p.m. // Neumo's // 925 E Pine St // $12, 21+
