Can't Miss It: Wednesday

HAPPY INDIE HOUR: KEXP is at Moe Bar on Capitol Hill. John Richards will be spinning. Happy hour drinks will be pouring. We think they do this fairly often, and it sounds like fun, plus Moe Bar's happy hour specials are pretty reasonable. You could drop in here before hitting one of our next two items.

5-8 p.m. // Moe Bar, 1425 10th Ave // Cost of drinks (21+)

BYRNE BABY BYRNE: David Byrne is back in town for a visit to the Paramount. Famous in his heyday for biting the heads off bats in his over-the-top metalhead shows...wait that doesn't seem...where's that bio again? Ah. Yes, the former Talking Heads front man is on a summer tour, playing songs by himself and Brian Eno. You'll hear stuff from Everything that Happens will Happen Today, and some back-catalogue Heads music than Eno had a hand in. Something old, something new, what's not to like?

7:30 p.m. // Paramount Theatre, 911 E Pine // Tickets: $45 (plus fees)

LIVING IN THE STONE AGE: Street-Smart Naturalist David B. Williams returns with his book Stories in Stone. In this one he wanders around Seattle (Westlake Mall and SeaTac are on his stops) inspecting the stone used for building, and uncovering the fossil life they contain, right there in front of god and everybody! It's one of those books that wakes you right up from your dogmatic slumber--turns out you've been walking right past (or on) the history of the world and never knew it.

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