Can't Miss It: Monday
Thanksgiving Pairing Suggestion: Sides with a Pint
FUZZY SWEDES: Dungen is from Sweden, but by the sound of their music, they have a love affair with good old American-made Electro-Harmonix Big Muff pedals. Their psychedelic rock is awash in crazy fuzzed-out hooks backed by capering, jazz-influenced drumming and featuring catchy, pop vocals. They rock Neumos tonight with Woods and Brawley Banks.
8 p.m. doors // Neumos // 925 E. Pike St. // $8
NUCLEAR WASTELANDS: And they're in Washington! Tonight is your last chance to see lauded local doc Arid Lands, winner of the Best Film award at the 2008 Local Sightings Festival. The film explores the economic, environmental, and social impacts of, well, Hanford, the superfund site to end all superfund sites, replete with leaking nuclear waste containers, buried train cars full of radioactive animal poo, and countless other horrors of the nuclear era.
7 & 9 p.m. // NW Film Forum // 1515 12th Ave. // $6-$9.
HOP-TASTIC: The 5th annual Hopfest over at Brouwer's Cafe in Fremont is winding down (it goes till the kegs run dry), but there should still be a fair selection of some of the hopped-up ales that were subject to voting last weekend. The winner was Russian River Brewing's Pliny the Younger, which we don't imagine there's much left of, but what the hell: it's Thursday. Head down to Brouwer's and have some fun before the long weekend.
11 a.m.-2 a.m. // Brouwer's Cafe // 400 N 35th

In the vein of scary Nuclear storage grounds, check out the Yakama Firing Range or whatever they are calling the military testing facility lodged between Ellensburg and Yakima.
Having lived near there I used to hear horror stories coming from old vets once stationed there about nuclear waste/ weapons being buried out in the desert there.
If the Columbia River sturgeon start shooting lazers from their eyes we will have our answer.
