Tonight, if you're not already at a SIFF film or checking out "Awesome" with side projects Jose Bold and the Half Brothers at the Sunset, head to the Comet to see local Mazzy Star-on-psychedelics Half Light. They're touring off their new album Sleep More, Take More Drugs, Do Whatever We Want.

Regina Spektor Is Adorable
Before she came out, walked to center stage and stole our hearts, we were lucky to have made it to the Moore in time to catch the last couple songs from the ex Moldy Peaches guitarist, Only Son. Actually it was more like two songs and a story. A story put to music, told pretty much off-the-cuff and in the first-person about a guy in a grocery store. He sees a girl. She's cute, but he's insecure and awkward and thinks maybe he should avoid the inevitable crushing rejection and just go home to his ever-loving and non-judgmental video games. It could have been one of those you-had-to-be-there moments to really appreciate it, but Only Son (Jack Dishel) was funny and charming and talented enough to win us over.
Tomorrow Night: Regina Spektor At The Moore Theater
Seattlest has an undeniable soft spot for foxy ladies on piano. There's just something genuine and fun and intriguing about the whole scene. Which is why we'll be skipping merrily to The Moore tomorrow night for Regina Spektor.
Oh Regina
Russian-born, NYC-livin' anti-folk piano girl Regina Spektor took the stage solo last night at the Moore, starting things off a capella, making her own beats by tapping the mic. Over the next hour plus, she performed most of the songs on her last two albums (Begin to Hope and Soviet Kitsch), along with some from 11:11.
