...for those of you who have some free time tonight, check out Bill Callahan (ex-Smog) at Slowdown Jr. The 2001 Smog show at Sokol Underground, seen by about 75 people, was one of the best shows of the year that year. He brings a whole different intensity to his live shows than you get from his discs. $12, 9 p.m., with Sir Richard Bishop opening. Alas, I'll have to miss it as I'll be working on a column/profile of For Against, which will be online Wednesday or Thursday, along with a review of the new Good Life disc.
