Adair's Opie Hendrix Although Opie hails from Houston, he's still a regular fixture on the Adair's stage. I've known this boy for years and I've seen him perform a couple-hundred times or so and he never disappoints and always thrills. You'll getcher rockabilly, honky-tonk, southern rock, country music fix for the weekend.
9 p.m. No Cover "Can't Even Yodel" by Opie Hendrix
The Double-Wide Dust Congress / Amanda Leggett / The Angelus Wow. Great show. Emil Rapstine of The Angelus has a voice so powerful, so beautiful, so haunting that it'll make ya wanna change religions. Amanda Leggett rivals with her gorgeous vocals and folksy, alt.country songwriting. Plus, she brings Todd Pertll back to us when she comes up from Austin. "Latin" by The Angelus
Lee Harvey's
DJ Chikki D will start things off around 8 p.m. Sorta Sorta is on my list of top 10 loves when it comes to the local, regional, national and even international music scene. If there's a Sorta song out there that I don't like, I've yet to hear it. Pleasing pop, indie, rock.

Of the approximately 1,140 minutes a day that I’m awake, this song is running in my head for about 982 of them. And I’m fine with that. Really. It’s all good. Have a nice weekend.
Check out Skin's latest edition of the Gemini Disco Soul Party PodQast, featuring funk tracks with a Wu-Tang twist from the El Michels Affair and some old-school sounds from Dallasite Timothy McNealy.
Good News:Billy Joe Shaver re-tied the knot on October 14th to the lovely former Mrs. Billy Joe Shaver, Wanda Lynn Canady in Vegas. Presiding over the nuptials was none other than Billy "ZZ Top" Gibbons.
Bad News: Shortly after the I do's had been said, Billy Joe broke his vertebrae wrastlin' with one of the wedding guests. Boys will be boys.
He's healing-up quite nicely though and will hit the stage again in December. This means no show tonight at Sons of Hermann as reported on various other sites 'round town. I'm a pretty hardcore Shaver fan, so I'll let you good folks know when he's going to swing back through DdFW.
If the kiddies are looking for something to do tonight and they are ready to rock, then Plano Centre might be a nice drop-off point.

An enormous bouquet of 120 red roses was delivered by moped Wednesday morning at 10:15 to the luxury Hassler Hotel, where Tom & Katie are reportedly staying.
Nicole Kidman has sent Tom & Katie a wedding present with a note that "wished them both a lifetime of happiness together," a source close to Kidman tells PEOPLE. No word on what the gift was.
There was one big question for Cruise fans...on Tuesday morning: Is that Suri's [car] seat?
Zzzzz...Sorry. Dozed off there for a second. What will we do once they are married? I guess go on "bump watch" and analyze every centimeter of her waistline as she shops at Barneys or reads her L. Ron Hubbard. I can hardly wait. Really.
I'm kind of the new kid around here. Don't be fooled, "kid" isn't a literal term by any means. Point is, I've been blogging elsewhere for a number of years, and during that time, I always posted a weekly wrap-up of Quick Pop Life when and where it pertained to the local music scene. Old habits are hard to break, so I until Mr. Editor sends a cease and desist order, I'll just lay it out Quick-like for you here.
I cannot tell you how thrilling it is to see Radiant back on the scene. This indie, poppy, shoe-gazey band has pleased many a fan over the years. This week Radiant is finally independently releasing their long-awaited album, We Hope You Win, along with a big-ol' CD release extravaganza. Paul Salfen caught up with Levi Smith, lead singer/songwriter for Radiant, and you can read all about it here.
